Hi,

I have been enjoying build 12 for some time now. I have been reading here that there are other additions that add more locales (islands) and character changes (i.e. female officers).

I am not sure how to go about installing these. Build 12 was fairly easy, simply download and install, but from what I understand currently is that these new additons described above will require a little "programming". Am I right? Are there any instructions for a "layman" that would simplify this or should I wait for a build 12.5 or 13 etc?

Great job on the mods! Thanks!

Valiant

You can get the Post Build 12 modpack from the link in my signature (Pieter's Pirates Page). Installing is reasonably easy: Just extract the zip-file on top of your current installation. The entire instructions are on my site.
Please note: Although the Post Build 12 mods seem to be reasonably playable, there are several really annoying bugs still left. We're trying to fix them, but without many coders left, we're having a bad time with it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

I am enjoying build 12 and I haven't experienced any bugs. What I was wondering was how do I go about installing the extra islands and character editor? Or should I wait for a build 13?

Thanks!

That is because B12 is very stable.

More than twice the bugs too. So please don't be surprised if some weird things happen. We will keep trying to fix them, but we're having rather a bad time with it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Pieter's Jan05 update contains a new dialogfile for the Dutch governor that should fix the problem (if we are talking about the same thing? )

I found a Bug:

When i start a new game, finished the dialogue and want to get on my ship,
i'm directly in the 3D Sailing mode, not in the Map... so,
i can buy any ship i want, the fort will sink me evereytime...
 
That is intentional. You should now raise French colours when you leave port. You should be able to do that in the F2 > Relations interface. That's a new mod. Malcolm Hatcher should tell you about it, but it seems like he only does so on my PC and not with other people. I will make sure the required file will be in the next modpack update. Maybe I forgot to include it... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
