<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> I'm new here and would like to say hi to everyone.

I do, however, have a question...do the old build mods have features 12.1 and alpha 13 don't have? If so, what are they? Thanks

'lo Matey.
I would have thought it unlikely that previous Build versions contain content not in the most recent release. After all the Build is aiming to get better! Certainly compare Build10 with Pre-Build13...no contest, much new stuff. Suffice to say if anything was 'retired' it was likely for very good reasons.

Thanks for the info on the builds, by the way, which custom ship do you recommend for pilage and plunder? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" />

Considering the debate raging between certain elements of the forum (those who make ships those who use them) I am inclined to think that it depends on what you intend to do in your pretty boat. Want to fight a war and raid colonies? Then a rather large Warship upwards is for you. Want to play pirate in something like an authentic vessel? Then the choices are considerable.

The problem is that you sometimes encounter ships more than your match when using sloops etc that can make the going rather hard unless you are of a mind to turn tail. The only other choice comes down to how you decide to acquire your vessel. Play as pirate or privateer and capture your prizes? Best get a fast or manouverable ship and some decent officers and melee skills. Sinon, then best either trade to build up some money...or rig it from the start by fiddling in buildsettings.h and go shopping.

I can't imagine this helps much (and for that I apologise) but different people have different aspirations in their playing.
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> there, matey, and welcome aboard.

Yeah, it's all about personal preferrence.

If you want to raid colonies/forts then get something big and powerful (Class 1). If you want a raider to board and capture ships then something fast or maybe a bit of an all-rounder.

My dad traced the family lineage and we're distantly related to Black Bart. Same last name and all.

Aaarrgghh... Aye, schooners be a regular favourite of mine there too, Skull. I'm also very partial to a good fast corvette, when I can find one.

The Builds are all based on the previous versions. So Build 11 was based on Build 10, Build 12 is based on Build 11. So all the content from the old versions should also be in the later Builds.
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> to all,

Another question, for some reason, I can't install build alpha 13 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> , I've tried re-installing the game and mods, but it doesn't work, I've already installed build 12, and I've followed the instructions, but it doesn't work. Any help on this will greatly be appreciated. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> And also, how do I know if I do have alpha 13 installed?

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> to all,

btw, does anyone know when the full version of build 13 will be released? Thanks to all who answer these questions, have a round on me in advance <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />

"yarg me hearties!" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />
 
Build 13 won't be released until all the bugs have been stamped out, and there's still a few nasty ones around. A number of shipmates are working on resolving these issues so hopefully it won't be too long.

Cheers <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
How did you install the Pre Build 13 pack? Are you sure you followed the right installation procedure as seen on my site?

Also: Does Build 12.1 work for you? If not, does the unmodded game work for you?
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Pieter,

I tested the game without the mods and it works fine, then I installed build 12.1 and it also works fine(great job on it, it's great <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> )Then I installed the base version, then the current version, then I set the controls to default, you see, I followed all the instructions exactly, but when I installed the base and current version, the prompt only stayed on screen for 2 seconds.

"yarg me hearties" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />
 
Please install everything up to Pre Build 13 base and see if that works.
 
Nope, it still hasn't worked <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

I guess I'll just wait until the full build 13 comes out.
 
Nah, forget it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> , I'll just wait until the finished version of build 13 to be released, I just noticed that when I tried to install the current version, the screen shifts, and I can't see half of the game. And when I install the base version, the game restarts my computer claiming that my computer was recovering from a fatal system error, but it's ok, build 12 is enough(for now).
 
Now that IS weird. Beats me why that happens. The Pre Build 13 base version should work fine. It's just a ZIP file containing all required files. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
