August Updates

[Nosie_old]

Hallo Pirates,
I do have problems like everybody else with the mods! Having played the game time and again, here is my bid for what it is woerth!
Up to update "July 19.2006" it is playable. But all the august updates muddle things up a bit!
For instants the Douwesen Children one: You will have to play the main story first otherwise the padre in
Isla Muelle will not talk to your man because he's been kidnapped!!!
AT the end (Khael Roa) Nobody will talk! You can't carry on because of it!
In my case with aug 21 update the game stopped, (read my previous post).
That problem happends on both computers I use. So I don't think its a hardware/software issue!
I Mostly play the game by giving my man expirience/skill points and a ship with a bit of grunt like corvette1.
I like to thank Pieter for his modding and trying to fix things!!! We all know it takes a lot to do that!!!
Looking forward to a stable mod 13!

Hi, im having problems with Roa too. I have been told there is no fix for it. How ever if you can get a full bug report of it using "PotCModHelper" in your POTC tools folder, I have tried but cant get the info where the error is.

I'll have a look at the code and see what has been changed that might have caused the trouble. Eventually I hope to get a properly working update done. I hope you'll keep testing; we need testers. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

I think that bug has been in there for a long time... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Just so it's said:

All new beta updates require a NEW GAME to be started.
We cannot track down bugs from using a saved game from a prior beta.
This is a beta, and it's expected people start a new game on each update.

Sorry. But thats the life of a beta testing situation.

Using B12.1, 13 base and last update (21 Aug) I believe had some major problems.

Did not have the Dowesen Children problem though.


Well to my problems

After I got Idol from the ship and went to Lighthouse (glad thats fixed) and talked to Clement, then made sail to find Danielle got the storm movie then ended up on a ship afterward and then got the conversation with the guy on Dowesen. (no quest updates)

Reloaded save, tried again this time ended up on Dowesen and had conversation, went to town but tavern was locked. (no quest updates)

Reloaded save, and tried again - Dowesen, conversation but went directly to pirate hideout, killed captain got ship sailed to Isle Muelle met up with ship and danielle. Sailed back to Oxbury to get Clement

Found Clement was jailed and started assault on Greenford, First time having Porteguese Flag up Fort and all british ships neutral could not attack fort ... reloaded tried again, well british hostile so attacked fort went rather easy due to Fort <b>not fighting back</b>. I got to say Forts are over powered in my opinion cause during attack of british fleet took 5 survose to sink 2 battleships and a frigate.


Collected Clements then went to Dowesen to repair before big battle at Khael Roa, repaired the set sail and got a CTD, reloaded same thing, Reloaded to even earlier save and went to Conceico that worked.

On to Khael Roa, Battle with pirates and Silehard Manowar, captured Manowar but no Silehard (got dead loser), frigate lowered his sail so boarded but had to fight again (dead loser). Distroyed the rest of the pirates and landed. No conversations, officer disappeared (good canoneer too) left with only Danielle and clement and whoever was on my other two ships. For the fun of it ran into temple where artifact was but had no conversations along the way and was unable to do anything

By the way Ghost Ship bug was not fixed.


Guess will wait for next update

The next update will be good. Hook and IncredibleHat made some very good fixes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
