Some help required

Hello. I have had the potc game for some time now and have received help from one of my friends in installing the build 12 mod and the post build 12 mod. This certainly improved the game however i have noticed some problems.

* All the speech is gone (not the text dialouge, but the actual voices when you first talk to people)

* Whenever i go through a particular door (the one into the pirate town on Quedbradas Costillas) my character becomes immobile and will not move. Going into the town is required to follow the game storyline so i cant continue the game

* Some Weapon images in the inventory dissapear and are just white boxes.

*The loading screen images (eg when you enter your ship or go through a door)have all dissapeared and are now just black.

I have uninstalled and tried reinstalling it and the mods numerous times but these problems wont go away.

What should i do? Are there any other mods which will fix these problems?

any help or advice would be great <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Get yourself Build 13 full and update 13/3
Install those on top. If that does'nt solve your problem,
you should try without Build 12.
That means to go back to the Stockgame and follow up
with 13 & 13/3, Hope this will help you!
Don't forget to run the Runme. bat!

Hello again

well i must say i feel quite silly now it was because hadnt done the runme.bat thingy that thoe problems were arising. The sounds movies anf pictures are all back (although i havent tried that door yet0

HUGE THANKS!!!!!

I will try instaling the build 13 as well anyway as it sounds good from some of the stuff ive read on this site.

Thanks again for the help and the quick reply <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
the not being able to move in QC has not dissapeared. you need to start the main quest before entering the town. otherwise, the starting of the quest you get there will indeed work, but the second time you get there, the game thinks it needs to start the quest, which it can't, becuase the character's aren't there, freezing the character. if you start the main quest first, (going to oxbay, seeing that the french captured it) this doesn't happen.
 
I haven't gotten stuck in QC for ages. Is there still a bug there???

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> Have had no problem with QC at all. Just finish looking for Rheims und
picked up Artois Voysey. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />
 
I was wondering if the problem had something to do with the video clips as when i installed build 12 and the build 12 update i didnt do the run.me and all the videos dissapeared. I noticed in the potc stock version when you first go through the QC door there is a video clip where your character runs over to these other two guys who are fighting... maby as the videos didnt work thats why it jammed... I'm only guessing here though.


Also i've installed build 13 done the run.me but once again the video clips dont seem to work anymore. They were working after i reinstalled build 12 (and did it properly this time) so i'm not sure what to do.

Also i noticed there were a few different post build 13 mods ... which one should i install?

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> Build13 full and 13/3 update!
 
well, i don't know if the bug still excists, but that's the only bug i've heard of that matches the discription.
 
The video when entering QC is an ingame quest video. This is totally unrelated to the other videos that disappeared. In any case: Be sure to run RunMe.bat, otherwise the video and sound files will not be in their proper directory.
 
Well Ive installed build 13 + update.... all bugs appear fixed! YAY!!

I shall take your advice and only go to QC once prompted to do so in the plot

Thanks for all your help everyone! Its great that all this help is on offer!

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