No, that is the old beta 2, he was saying that he posted a new file that would be like a test beta 3.

Do ye notice the part were he states......"Please test the file attached to <b>THIS</b> post instead"

So the Beta2 is a different one than what was posted a few days ago? Hmmm, in that case I shall have to give it a try tomorrow. It's a tad late in my neck of the woods right now, but I will check it out ASAP. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

Drunken sailor,

U are confused. Tthe 2MB Beta 2 file is the orginal Beta 2 update in which the tutorial and many other things worked fine.

Yes the file at the bottom of Pieter's post #2010 is the Brand New Beta 2....which I guess looking back on things, Pieter might have named Beta 3 to avoid confusion.....but then Hind sight is a wonderful thing. If you follow the conversation at the time though, he changed his mind and the update within a few minutes and probably just "overwrote" the existing file at the time to prevent any of us from downloading a "buggy" update, and to try and catch us with the new one before he signed off for the day. Being there at the time I understood what he did....to others later I can understand the confusion on anyone part.

For me, I have lost my game.exe icon......and my game wont start......and for the life of me, I cant figure out why!!!

But... there *IS* no file attached to the bottom of Pieter's #2010 post. I've uploaded a screenshot to prove it. The screenshot is entitled, "FindTheHiddenFile.jpg". Good luck finding it.

I'm sure for all the confusion. The current Beta 2 is the same as the previous one. I had meant to attach a new testversion to my previous post in this thread, but something went wrong with the result that the attachment wasn't actually added. I'll release a new version tomorrow, I hope. In the meantime Beta 1 is the most stable version, while Beta 2 is the latest release.

To DrunkenSailor: How did you manage to do THAT??? Please reinstall. That is not good. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
It is possible to run the game in windowed mode while it appears as being fullscreen. I run the game that way myself. Set your normal resolution to 1024x768 and set the game resolution to 1280x1024. Also disable fullscreen mode. If the configuration program doesn't suport the resolution you want, open engine.ini and change the resolution values manually. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

About the Fast Travel icons: That one will be fixed in Beta 3. Also: Could you please give your comments on the About Build interface?

To Long John Silver: What do you mean with "my game icon"? Please make sure you install in the right order: Build 12.1 + Pre Build 13 Base + Build 13 Beta 1. Please note that in Beta 2 I have redone BuildSettings.h, but I'm not done with it yet. Your old BuildSettings file won't work with Beta 2 at all.
 
this is too weird....

That file was there for me ever since Pieter put it there......

1) Pirate_KK made some thorough rewrites to the tutorial, but he also added some new mods of his own. I do want the rewritten and improved tutorial in the game, but I want to keep the new mods out of the game. Unfortunately the tutorial rewrite relies partly on a new mod Pirate_KK made, so that separating the two doesn't work easily. I already got most of it working properly, but I found one pretty gamestopping bug: When playing the tutorial, you can't continue from port to the town, because the gates are closed and stay closed. Pirate_KK will have a look at this bug.

2) It appears that Beta 1 works pretty well, so if you want to play a version, get that one. Beta 2 contains a little mistake of mine that causes pretty major trouble. The file I posted above is a testversion of the unfinished Beta 3. Hopefully Beta 3 will be a truly good version. But until the real Beta 3 is released, Beta 1 is the most playable version.

About the file I posted above:
I tested the file shortly and found a stupid typo that will prevent the store interface from working at all. Please test the file attached to THIS post instead. It has that bug fixed and has Hook's goods reordering added along with Maximus' base for French, German and Spanish language support.

Note: You must have Beta 1 installed! <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

And too Pieter....yes I installed everything in the right Order....However when I try to start my game by Double Clicking the Game Icon either Desktop or inside the game...it comes up with an alert and a Pathways error, or Engine error......that where I sit....trying to redo the engine.exe without ripping out all POTC and reinstalling......Last resort (not having much luck and not happy)

Pieter: Are you telling Me now that the Beta 2 update I saw and downloaded yesterday from your post #2010...is NOT a NEW UPDATE?????
 
I've got signatures disabled. There's mention of a download in his signature, but that's on every post, not just that one.

Hook
 
Yes I agree Hook...but yesterday Pieter changed his "update/patch whatever in mid-post and said not to download this but download that.....so I downloaded this new offering off that One Post 2010.....Now it seems it wasnt ever even changed....So I am more confused than ever....And too boot it sounds as if what I did download and install was sooooo buggy that it caused more problems than it was worth, and My game will still not respond or load!!

Just like when I was helping test your boarding code before others........I had something nobody else had....then along came a brand new official release from Pieter...and BAM....My game was all F . . K'ed up beyond all recognition and would no longer work.....

I posted for assistance and nobody answered......Again.....I lost connection with INternet ( no fault of anybody here ) and when I came back online...we have new updates.....and they still are wrong and wont help....Im starting to get very frustrated!!
 
Pieter has been mentioning time constraints with himself and real life at present and continueing for a while - so we should cut him some slack.
And i'm sad about the beta2 link not being a new one - i absolutely love the new ship models. Still after my play testing today of the old beta2(as it turned out) i can report it indeed is pretty buggy, but atleast sailing was a pleasure; especialy with the new ship skins.
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> I wouldn't worry about any bugs too much right now, I believe Pieter mentioned he will have the Beta 3 out tomorrow, so we can put our focus into using and testing that. It sounds as if it should be a pretty solid release. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

well i have 2 sides of A4 with some minor and pretty big bugs/issues from just 3 days of playtesting beta(1)+beta(2). I'll scap beta(2) for now as it is the most buggy, shame to loose those fantastic ship models, and carry on with beta(1) while we wait for beta(3)(or whatever it will be called).

just a thought -for the betas which thread is best to post bugs in? i know we have the 12.1 mod bug thread to post pre-build13 bugs(if i understand it corectly) - do the beta bugs go in the same thread?
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> there mates Just installed Stock game& all these packs in right order,works fine,but sometimes i can't loot corpses in sewer oxbay. Anyway interface is good enough 4 me,i mean[attachmentid=734] that one (new icons)

But my mind is very confused. I have 6 updates
1)Build12_full.zip 77,7 mb: 79,665 kb
2)pre_b13base_1.zip 296 mb: 303,467 kb
3)pre_b13_upd_21-8-06.zip 20,8 mb: 21,321 kb
4)BM13_beta6_update_6_9_2006.zip 749 kb
5)b13_beta1.zip 22,1 mb: 22,683 kb
6)b13_beta2.zip 1,99 mb: 2,040 kb

installed in this order & game runs without any big problem or crash.
I think i'm misunderstood the point of Pieter's new update.

Engine.exe is in Beta 1 and Beta 2, so perhaps you can extract the file from the Beta 1 zip?

Ehm. Indeed. It isn't a new update. I had meant to attach a file to the post, but it was never added. Quite strange really, I thought it had uploaded. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Yep. I'm hoping to be able to release it today. It depends on whether I get the fixes I need from Pirate_KK today.

I hope it will be. I am going to playtest my current WIP for a bit before releasing.

I would recommend posting them on the <a href="http://swankyplace.com/potcbugs/main_page.php" target="_blank">Bug Tracker</a>.

To DrunkenSailor: There was meant to be a new update, but somehow it failed to upload. Once again: Sorry for the confusion. The Fast Travel icons will be fixed in Beta 3.
