    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Yeah this particular installer didn't like being in the same game directory, so i had to move it out of there, and i also did the same for HUGE file (it probably has a correct technical name right ;) ) as it seemed to complain about it not being in the same place as the installer (iirc). I...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Update, yeah just checked all 4 installs (Beta 1 patch 7, Beta 3.1, Beta 3.4 and Beta 4) and all have the buildinfo.txt in the main \Pirates of the Caribbean\ directory. The install process put it there (no copy/pasting from my side).

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Oh nice stuff pedrwyth :) So i can use this in both 3.1 and 3.4 right (but not 4)? I will test it out and report back. I might have to pick your brains a little more on the issue, but i will make note of which files we are talking about here and try to take up as little of your time as possible...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    yeah...pretty sure i do (that old PC is off, just as i head for bed, so can't check all 4 installs i'm currently running!) i believe i have it in all of them....possibly ;) I can report back tomorrow for certain, and i never manually placed it, i think the install process makes it.

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    It was the first thing i noticed about Beta 3.4, and after the experiment to limit fps it was more or less resolved in Beta 3.4 for me (not 100% gone, but no where near as obvious), even just adding 2x antialising (which was the first thing i did to get rid of the jaggies on the rigging) seemed...

    I've seen stranger things (at sea) :yes

    Included in Build Wind Direction and Storm Occurance in 3D Sailing Mode

    I love getting 'be calmed', it is ever sailors lov.....er i mean terror. Your rations go down, you annoy each other as more still time passes by, you eye one another trying to work out who would taste the best, if the winds never return.......... Or as this is PotC you just press the speed up...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    Step 1: install new default PotC Step 2: place both part 1(installer) and part 2(HUGE file) in that directory (next to ENGINE.exe etc) Also tested outside the game folder, same issue. Step 3: run installer Step 4: not a victory! The message was something like 'could not find buildinfo.txt, you...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3 Progress

    (very sorry for digging up these older threads!) Ok so Peiters link to the older Beta 3.1 (and older!) versions here: Pirates of the Caribbean PC Mods | GameWatcher That 3.1 install, with Part 1 and Part 2, did not easily install for me, as i had prepared a default PotC install (from the euro...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3.4 Release

    A Pirates life is a dangerous occupation for sure Pieter ;) Well i got 3.1 downloading (thanks for the encouragement Hylie :D ) and will scan some Beta 2 threads tomorrow, whilst i sail in Direct Sail mode in Beta 1 Patch 7, whilst also getting in a bit of work (see that is how i do my direct...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3.4 Release

    Good sleuthing! Interesting - So that list descends with the latest at the top (Beta 3.1)........so there was no Beta 2 series of the Build? As it jumps right from Beta 1 Patch 1 (and i have Patch 7!) to the Beta 3.1 series? I will have a go and see if those Beta 3.1 links still...

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    I don't think i said that (if that was a reply to me?). General performance between Beta 3.4 and Beta 4 are about on par, if i go on the amount of K that ENGINE.exe is using, or the amount of GPU Ram being used, they are pretty similar. What is different is the game smoothness, as we know Beta...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3.4 Release

    Yeah i figured these would be known errors and be worked on for fixing in later builds, which is cool :) And once i have completed some stuff in Beta 1 Patch 7, mainly to compare the experience with the later Builds (!) i will have a go at getting the screenshot and all error files (PotC and...

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    sadly Beta 4 just won't sail right for me Pieter, which is a shame, but i AM on an old OS and rig (performance was not an issue when it would run for me).

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    Yeah the gaining 5 levels just from sailing in Direct Sail from Speightstown to Jamaice was in the latest Beta 4 (and the one time it worked without any CTD's). I've been unable to test Beta 3.4 even that much due to some CTD's related to ships losing masts (and errors associated with their...

    Mod Release Build 14 Beta 3.4 Release

    Darn it, spoke too soon. I've had a repeatable CTD while in direct sail mode, that gives a windows error relating to 'merchantflag3.dll' with remarks like wrong name called/used for x etc. There were two different times this happened, and both involved some ship battles in the distance (that i...

    Poll Your Preferred Gameplay Style

    Yeah i'm trying some different settings to see why (in particular) you end up really far away from the island after dropping down into 3D mode from the Map Navigation mode, i 'think' it has something to do with the value '10000' in the file NK.c around line 2200 (where the entries for the Open...

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    Well it definately feels way to quick on the current setting, even if it pans out over the long run getting MUCH slower. 5 levels just from doing 'nothing' (i'm not even meant to be the one sailing the ship!) in that one trip from Speightstown to jamaica just does not feel well balanced. To put...

    WIP Black Barts Playtesting thread for Build 14 Beta 4 WIP (ver:18 Jan 2016)

    Well i'm not that much of a fan on the added 'time jump' thing that happens during Direct Sailing around, but i understand why it has been done. I'd prefer a less obtrusive method personally speaking (as a 3D direct sailing mode player) to better ensure the time spent sailing in direct mode...
