I seem to have a problem that is seriously annoying me! I installed the Build 12 and then the Post Build 12 ( Or Build 13 Alpha) Then I install the update. I think this is right. My game runs perfectly fine. I start a game and I can do everything. But I can't seem to get myself a new boat. No Matter what I do I can't sail a new boat. At first I can sail the Lugger under BRITISH flag if I instantly decided to set sail (No point really I get sunk by the french and left with the life boat) but if I try using another flag ( Like the french to get away) My game freezes on the loading screen and I have to reset my computer, It happens with ALL ships except the starting lugger. I really want this alpha build I really love going into crew quarters, my cabin, and the deck. It really adds realism. I've tried sorting it myself...Except I make things worse. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" /> Am I installing it all wrong? I wouldn't mind some help <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />


Cheers

EDIT: Another note about this problem: <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" />

It seems I can't sail another ship under British Flag. It seems only the Lugger can fly under britith flag.
I tried re-installing it. The lugger can now fly any flag. Yet I still can't sail any other boat. Another point I seem to have noticed is it commonly happens if I buy new items that come with the build/mod. It seems when I buy a sword from the build/mod and try to board my ship (Including the lugger at the beginning) my game freezes. Could it be the weapons from the build/mod? Or have I done something wrong? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

I'd appeteicate it if you could get back to me as quick as possible. I might of messed up something! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
Can Anyone Help? I can't wait forever! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Are you using the 18 March version or 25 March version? These two versions have some dreaded CTDs which we're still trying to fix. So far, I have been unable to figure out what's causing them. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
What do you mean? The Post build version? Well heres what I found (Sorry if its wrong): <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Build 12_full = From Piratesahoy.net main page in downloads.

Post Build 12_Full = Sunday 5 March 2006 from Piratesahoy.net Download Page

Update is also Sunday 5 March 2006. from Pieter Boelen's Pirate Page.


Hope it helps. Im not exactly brilliant at this thing! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Hmm. For all I know, the troubles shouldn't be in the 5 March version. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> Then what am I doing wrong? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

In this exact order I installed it:

Pirates of the Caribbean Stock Game. (English Version)

Downloaded Build12_full from Pirates Ahoy.net

Downloaded Post_build12 (Alpha Build 13) from piratesahoy.net

Downloaded the Postbuild12_update from Pieter Boelen's Pirate Page.

Installed Pirates of the Caribbean

Then installed Build12_full,

Then installed Post_Build12

Then Installed post_build12_update

Then ran langswitchenabler.bat

Started a New Game.

Reset controls to default.

And then play until my dock problem.


Installed right? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />


Edit: I just noticed my little brother has edited the character_int and goods_int to his liking! (No wonder I ruled..And I thought I was good! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> )

Anyway does that affect the game. Should I slap my brother across the back of the head?

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
Would the character_int or goods_int if edited affect the game? My little brother seems to like having all stats at 10 and 1000000 money <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> there mate and welcome aboard.

Your installation sequence seems fine. Was the installation path for Build 12 correct? I know that there was a version that installed to a slightly different (Bethesda) folder which would well and truly muck up things.

I'd recommend rolling back those edits and restarting.

Everything seems to be in place. I have no other bethesda folder. Only the one containing Pirates of the Caribbean. I have no clue whats going on! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

It usually freezes when I buy any saber,armour or any item related to the build. Yesterday I did manage to get into my lugger under french colours 3 times. Then I bought a few weapons and armour and when I tried to enter my ship..well it froze!
 
Welcome!

It seems that you did everything well.

The version of Build you're using is quite seriously bugged. Currently newer one is created and tested by Pieter. I think that the best solution would be wait a bit for this newer version, which as I read includes many bugfixes. I read in the forum that current one have many CTDs, and that they happened also after leaving Oxbay for the first time.

If your younger brother likes cheating, starting with battleship and maxed character from very beginning, there's a way he could do it without messing a game for you, but it requires basic knowledge about PotC modding. Restore orginal files which was changed first. Open file PROGRAM\console.c with text editor. You'll see some commented code there. Search for "Light Fregate" text and uncomment this part (function cheat_ship or something like that). You can change it to other ship and it's statistics in that function call. Main character abilities and skills might be increased there too by changing proper attributes of pchar variable (examples of this should be there). Then, after starting PotC, press F12 to execute console (this function which you edited). Save this game and your brother will be able to start from strongly advantaged position, while you, running a game without executing a console, will have more challenge.

I have a new update about ready, but when I tested it yesterday, I am STILL having random CTDs. AAAAAARGGHHH!!!! *Goes insane* <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Pieter!

Don't get insane, we all need you...

Don't rush with this update. If something is wrong it's better to make a break and often solution can come easier as you think about it calm. Too hard and long work on the single problem doesn't help.

It's my humble advice, as far I can help.

I just tried installin the build 12.1 and then the post build on the piratesahoy.net files page! I ran the Runme.bat after build 12.1 install and when I installed the post build I DID NOT run the Langswitch thingy! And...Everything works!!!!!!!!!!!! Im now risking my life...to install the update.... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Wish me Luck <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
Just make sure to avoid the 18 March and 25 March version. The 5 March (the one available from my site) version seems to work fine. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
