runme issues

[alvin1218]

when i re install the 12.1, 13 base & 13beta5, i found out during the runme initiation some files are not copied like program files and resource files. how can i restore those missing files

Which files aren't copied exactly? Are you sure these files need copying. I thought I had made the Build 13 Beta RunMe.bat in such a way that it should move all files to right plac without troubles. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

it says something about programs\dialogs*.h. when i started the game, some dialogs where not familiar to me (russian i guess). might be english & russian dialogs were used on the game.

or.... i suspect some files were missing during my insallation of b12, 13base & b5 since, i already re install it several times.

my problem is, i lost my installer now and can't install the original game.

m trying to find the "unusuals" but, so far, its the dialogs on sailing that is weird.

i am on the quest of tobias at oxbay right now.

The way i found to avoid those 'missing files' report in the runme readout after execution is this:

1. Only run the runme.bat file after installing build 12.1(full) ontop of your PotC install. This is auto-ticked by default so let it run at this point.

2. install whatever other betas etc you are planning to use but dont run the runme.bat file after, just the one time after 12.1 install.

I think you can run the english.bat file if you need to(if your not running a local english version?), but its not essential i've found?

I used to get those 'missing file' reports also, but it only ever happend if i ran runme.bat after installing all the builds+betas first.

If you run RunMe.bat from Build 12.1 AFTER installing the latest Beta's, that will seriously mess up things. Run it after installing Build 12.1 and install the Beta's after that.

I suspect this may be the same for nicev1869?

thanks for the info, mates. i think that maybe is one of the causes. another that i suspect is, when i extracted the b12 (full) i forgot to unzip the files. now, when i re install the mods with the unzipping of b12, the dialogs (specially on sailing mode) are back to english. no more weird voices in foreign languages.

i am now on the early phase of the game and it seems fine in smooth sailing. thanks a lot.
