Hello all, I am new to this site, but not PotC! :onya
Since I have installed the latest build mod, I have had various issues, most of which I have been able to fix, none of which have ruined the gameplay.

However, my latest GAME STOPPING issue is this: I changed my boarder model to 'soldier', exited the options, and the game crashed to desktop with a runtime error.
I went back into it to check if the settings had changed, and once again I quit the options menu and got a CTD. :modding

Upon trying again, the game wouldn't even start- the loading screen came up, but then another runtime error message appeared.
The game hasn't started since!! Anyone know what's happening here?

Thanks in advance.
 
If you remove the "options" file from your main game folder, that should reset all settings back to default and hopefully allow the game to run again.
 
Just tried it and is working fine now, thanks! ;)
Is there a known problem with the 'soldier' boarder model causing a CTD, or is it just me? (Mind you, I have had a lot of problems which I haven't seen covered on this forum)
 
I never used non-default boarder models, so I'm not sure. What other issues are you having?
 
Well for one thing I always get a CTD when trying to go to sea with a steamship bought from Vanderdecken (this happens for both types, every time)

Another problem from his shipyard is with the Pearl and Dutchman variants- they can only ever fire ONE cannon and no more.
For example, I try to broadside an enemy ship, but only one cannon fires, and I noticed only one cannon ball is used up from my supplies. :shrug

In terms of boarder models, all other types I have used were fine.

In using Beta 1 Patch 1 on Vista if this helps.
 
Boarding models is confirmed... I think we might need to remove the option :yes

The Vanderdecken is also confirmed for the frigate, already fix as well in the files I will send Pieter :yes

The Pearl/Dutchman may be because of your gunnery level? :?

Or fix. I hate to solve problems using 'nukes'.

This option I code some years ago before that all new bunch of soldiers-models-depending-on-period appeared and it seems that no one corrected this part of the code for new system yet. However, I suspect that thing would be quite fixable. Just check the lines in boarding code, I'd do this when I got time - now I don't have...

I have added something into the mod that is promotion based, which gives you the soldiers when you get promoted as your crew... that is why I suggested removing it :yes
 
If that causes a problem, I think following would do for a fix:
Code: 
if (promoted)
  set_soldier_models();
else
  set_boarder_models();

No need to apologize, mate. I'm just saying we don't make much of an issue here about stuff being posted in wrong spots.
We just move it instead and leave a note saying what we did.
Especially if it's being posted in the "wrong" spot because of my own doing! :razz

Some say that pirates steal and should be feared and hated
I say we're victims of bad press; it's all exaggerated
We'd never stab you in the back, we'd never lie or cheat
We're just about the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet
 
Actually, not really. I like the movie, but don't love it by a long stretch. It's bizarreism.
As for the soundtrack, this is probably one of the few movies where I prefer the songs (which are HILARIOUS!) over the rest of the music.
Of the rest of the music, I mainly like the main theme, but the rest sounds too computery digitally messed-uppy
(Hans Zimmer's doing again! GRRR! :whipa )
