Thanks a LOT! Well, we thought to first just start testing Build 13 Full, so I'd say install that according the installation instructions and start testing. If you find anything, post it on the Bug Tracker. We will make a seperate thread for the Build 13 Full testing phase on the forum. Please don't post bugs in this particular thread. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
I have added a new Bug Section to the tracker.
Sparrow Search
Please post bug there for this project. Thanks.

So far I have as testers (in no particular order):
Rum Runner, Sukayo, Julian, PeterWillemoes, Morgan Terror, Bartolomeu o Portugese, Shingen

If I have missed you - or you would be willing to take part, just let us know.

THANKS to EVERYONE in advance.
 
So round 1 is "Main Quest – play through till back at Redmond Port after sinking French escort ship"? Are we to stick to the main quest without any extracurricular activities, or are we just to avoid other side quests for the time being? Just want to make sure I understand the parameters here. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
To Short Jack Gold: You need to add a version to the "Sparrow Search" project, otherwise you can't post bugs for it. You can do this by going to manage > Manage Projects > Sparrow Search, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
Thanks Pieter

To everyone else - please bear with me for the moment - today has not been a good day to say the least.
The disparity in the reversion to standard time in some places and not others being the least problems
 
Not to worry. Your own personal issues have priority over any PotC stuff. Good luck! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Great!

It has been a while since I have been playing Build 13-full... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> so, I'm looking forward to it.
I'll be on it tomorrow.

Those awfully nice people at the Admiralty have given the authority to proceed. Play as you would normally till you make first visit to the Governor. Then replay in a different manner.
(e.g. stormy start or different island)

As you wish - we need to cover all the variants, but the order in which you play them is not necessarily that important. Any bugs SHOULD show up for everyone.
When a bug is found we will ask other testers to follow the same play route as the "finder" to confirm the result.

Well done that man.

O.K. Guys, just before you all recommend me for committal.

The start here may seem ragged but there is a science to my seemingly random approach. Trust me (now where have I heard that before?)
If you get through to the first meeting with the governor , then continue to the second meeting.
Repeat trying a different start etc. (I know you don't need me to over detail here, but don't forget to talk to everyone you meet in the various locations)

I have added the thread "Sparrow Search" for discussion of the topics that will be raised through the course of these tests.
Again, please be as specific as you can with details of level, quest path, Buildsettings.h when discussing or reporting.

Thanks for you understanding Pieter. I hope to be clear and out of the woods by your time mid-day tomorrow.
 
Ok, problem 1- I thought I had build13_full.exe downloaded, but when I went to install it, it won't. I then discover that I only have a 114mb file! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> Now where can I download the whole thing from? The link labeled "Build 13 Full Version" on Pieter's Pirates Page is actually for Build 13 Final, which I already have. I also have the Build 12/build 13 base/build 13 update 3 full files. I am not sure if that's the route you want me to go, though, so if someone can point me in the direction of build13_full.exe download, I would greatly appreciate it.

Fair winds with them files.
 
Check out the options of this link too:

Thanks gents, but no dice. The object is to test 13 full, before the update. I have been all through that site and the file isn't there.
 
That's really evil then!
Been some confusion with the download site while Pieter was away and solutions appeared randomly in the threads.
Try this link:

<a href="http://www.pafiles.com/build/" target="_blank">http://www.pafiles.com/build/</a>

If it doesn't work either, then it might be a good idea with a clean re-post of the 13 full from Pieter, for everybody's benefit.
