Setting Error Logs for PotC Bugtesting

In engine.ini, you set
tracefilesoff = 0

runtimelog = 1
tracefiles = 1

(Won't hurt to have everything in the [script] section set to 1.)

Then you play the game and the log files show up in your main POTC directory.

Everytime I do this I get the following ;

<img src="http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j67/SuoiveD01/POTC/Files.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />


All of these files appear in my main POTC Folder. One thing that won't appear in my POTC Folder is Screenshots. Can't get ss's to work in game. I've tried pressing F8, actually I've pressed every damn button that doesn't already have a function & to no avail.

I am playing Bulid 14 Alpha 7 Plus.
 
Okay mine i think has same problem where it says something bout it Abnormal Error Runtime Error or something and I tried doing what you said but it dont work. Please tell me what the hell is wrong cos its stopping me from using the Build 14
 
@SuoiveD:

Actually, you should change engine.ini as follows:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->tracefilesoff = 0

debuginfo = 1
codefiles = 0
runtimelog = 1<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->to avoid producing that useless *.b files.

As for screenshots I don't know how to help since it always worked properly for me. There isn't even present any possibility of remaping that key! Really, I don't know why it doesn't work...

I'll try that then.
One thing I did learn was that if I'm going to use the POTC Mod Helper in the tools folder I need to copy the engine.ini file before using the mod helper.
The reason is that for some reason the whole engine.ini file gets wiped when I use the mod helper. So now I have a spare copy stored in another folder on my desktop.

I realise that Build 14 Alpha 7 plus is buggy, which is why it's alpha..lol.
So I'm just going through each quest to see if they work properly.

At the moment, I am working on the Elizabeth Shaw Quest. It has been exasperating at times because different parts won't work properly at first, but by going back to a previous save & trying it again I am able to get through it.

Hmm... I think I understand now why its doing this... Everytime something happens that shouldn'd (not like mods but more like glitches)
this happens to my game... Like when I died i was right at the end of the peir so I went on board my ship then an X appeared where the ship should have as an Icon for health and stuff
 
The quest is generated when you speak with the Govenor of Cayman.

He asks you find his missing daughter.
 
If the screenshot button doesn't work, you can always use PrintScreen. I use that myself. Coupled with fullscreen = 0, it works really well because then you can Alt+Tab out of the game.
 
Hi,
Does anybody else get four identicle screenshots everytime F8 is pressed ?

damski.
 
Sometimes I get just one, sometimes two, sometimes even more. Seems pretty random. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
just set up my errorlogging I'll get it to ya pieter, btw, also many of the islands maintain their original names. like oxbey is still oxbey and so on and redmond is still redmond and so on and so forth, perhaps that's part of the big problem?
 
I take it you're referring to B14 Alpha 8 now? The old islands should have new names, if correctly installed. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
