Alpha 7 problems

Yep, thats basically the idea, I run the installer, then delete the INI folder in the missing files folder, then copy the rest into my directory. And I get the "abnormal program termination." Its rather annoying, after taking as long as it does to reinstall.

EDIT:
Once agan, I'm going to reinstall, and double check every thing I've done. Thus Far
Stock Game------works as well as would be expected
Build 13 final-------works fine
14 alpha 6------- works like a charm
14 alpha 6 additional------- works quite well
14 alpha 7 with missing files for alpha 7 and alpha 7 plus------- CRAP!! "abnormal program termination"

i think the same thing went wrong, since the logs are the same as before.
What do you think I did wrong?
 
I've looked around for awhile, looking for anything out of place, but I can't find anything, at least not with my limited knowledge of programming...

What do you think I did wrong?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

After installation you didn't do:

1. anything except starting the game right

2. did you run the .bat files as they should be for build13 final, build14 alpha6 and build14 alpha7 plus.

3. I don't see the alpha 6 update2 in your installation it probably that to.

4. For the build did you recently download them or they were in you HD for a while, if so I recommend that you re download them, some change prolly was made during the time period you have them.

I can't think of anything else atm, but try what i told you maybe your answer is there.

As far as I know, no changes were made to the downloads for at least half a year or so. Also you shouldn't need to install Alpha 6 Update 2 for Alpha 7 to work. Also you don't need to install Alpha 7 Plus.
 
Can you post the code from kam_generalfunctions.c around line 112?

Also try what Pieter just said.

do not install 7 plus stop at the 7 missing file.

Strange that's the code for Build13 and alpha6 not alpha7. For alpha 7 it will be like this from line 103 to 126.

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    else
    {
        // PB: White sails mod -->
        switch(selected_sails)
        {
            case 0: tempstring = "sail_whole_white_plain.tga"; break; // Build Default: White
            case 1: tempstring = "sail_parus_whole_white_plain.tga"; break;// KK: alternate parus
            case 2: tempstring = "sail_purewhite_plain.tga"; break;// Age of Pirates: White sail with little ropes
            case 3: tempstring = "sail_weathered_plain.tga"; break;// Pirates of the Burning Sea: White sail
                tempstring = "sail_parus_whole_white_plain.tga";// Stock default: White Parus
        }
        // PB: White sails mod <--
    }
    if (sti(char.nation) == PERSONAL_NATION)
    {
        switch (selected_sails)
        {
            case 0: tempstring = "sail_whole_white_nation10.tga"; break;
            case 1: tempstring = "sail_parus_whole_white_nation10.tga"; break;
            case 2: tempstring = "sail_purewhite_nation10.tga"; break;
            case 3: tempstring = "sail_weathered_nation10.tga"; break;
                tempstring = "sail_parus_whole_white_plain.tga";
        }
    }<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
 
So then how would I fix it? I tried to put the code you showed in that post over lines 103-126, but it didnt work. I get the Error
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->COMPILE ERROR - file: kam_generalfunctions.c; line: 127
Duplicate variable name: shref<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

Did I put it in at the wrong place?
Thanks Guys!!
 
What I found strange is that you end up with a file from alpha6, after installing alpha7. Wait for Pieter to help you on this, as for me, I think it's getting out of my lead. What you could try is to copy the kam file in the alpha7 or plus build and overwrite it again in the game and see if it will work. Or do as Pieter said earlier install from scratch and stop at alpha 7 missing file. Follow the procedure <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=11643" target="_blank"> here </a>.

Try and install Alpha 7 to a different folder than your game folder, then copy all files on top of your game folder manually. Indeed this is not right. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
With school and such, I won't have time to try anything until the weekend, after I try installing it in a different folder, I'll post the results here.

Thanks Guys!!
 
IT WORKED!!!! You guys are awesome!!!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbs1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2up" border="0" alt="thumbs1.gif" />

I'm off to check it out!
Thanks a lot!

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" />
 
It WORKED? I'm surprised. Pleasantly, that is... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
Yep, actually, in only playing for a few hours, I've been through a lot. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" /> I've been blown to bits like twenty times by time I figured out what I was doing though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" />

Thanks for the help! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
You're welcome. Now I hope you'll be able to <i>enjoy</i> the game and not get too annoyed with various bugs. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_confused.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="icon_confused.gif" />
 
Really, thus far, it's really not that bad. The only problem I have is accidentally going straight into a battle of 20 to 1, and I'm not the best fencer. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" />
Although, if I accidentally hit the windows key, in any game version actually, my computer goes to the desktop, but when I bring the Storm Engine back up, I have nothing but a black screen. So I have to use the task manager to stop the game, which becomes quite annoying.
 
When you get that black screen, use Alt+F4 to close the game. Quicker. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
Better still, open engine.ini in your main game folder and set full_screen = 0 and screen_x and screen_y to your desktop resolution. Now you CAN Alt+Tab out of the game or use the Windows button. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
