it seems like one of my files has gone corrupt or something. the game used to work yesterday, but now, when i enter the world map, the game ctd's at the change of the day, when the rations should appear in the top left of the screen. here's my log:

Ship Boat doesn't have fire places
resource\models\Heads\h_beatrise.gm: can't open geometry file
Cannot open animation file resource\animation\Heads\h_beatrise.ani
Can't load texture resource\textures\.tx

it also seems like there are a few other wierd things going on, but the last line is what i'm worried about most. when the game CTD's, there is also no error message displayed on the screen. it just dies. the thing with beatrice is that you can't see her face. i met her in the tavern, after which i wanted to rent a room. the room loaded, and the game died. again. NOTE: this is the log from the moment of the crash in the tavern, not the world map. but it seems to be the same problem. it's at least the same bug.
 
There is nothing to suggest a crash in that file at all. I see nothing particularly wrong with it. There are some errors, but no gamekilling ones. I have the same errors in my game, but they cause no trouble at all.

Might the change of day code call for some music or sound files?

You have been changing those and experimenting with code as well right?
 
i've checked, and the changing of the day doesn't require a music file. maybe it does require a sound file, which doesn't play because i've exceeded the limit or something, but i've only changed the music, not any other sound files. the strange thing is, that it did work correctly when i had already changed everything. the problem started the day after that.

i think i'll try re-installing build 14. what's the installation procedure? and does that bug in the fourth alpha with directsail effect the game in any way when not using directsail? is there a way to avoid it? does it matter when the hour change occurs when you're still at an island?

Installation procedure:
1) Install Build 13 properly
2) Install Build 14 Alpha 3
3) Install Build 14 Alpha 4

The DirectSail bug in Alpha 4 is rather annoying; there is a risk of it occurring even if you don't use that mod. I recommend you wait until I finished Build 14 Alpha 5. I'm currently working on making that one ready for release, so with a bit of luck I'll be able to release it later today.
 
that sounds good! more good news: the bug dissapeared after i started a new game! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> when i discovered this, i faintly remembered that i had this once before, a year ago or something. i solved it in exactly the same way.

by the way: will i need alpha four to run the game with alpha five?
 
It helps if you read <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=9081&view=findpost&p=179732" target="_blank">the post</a> in which I announced Alpha 5. You do need Alpha 4 for the Alpha 5 update. But you can also download <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods/b14_alpha5.zip" target="_blank">Alpha 5 full</a>.
 
way ahead of you. already downloaded them both. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
