Build 14/6

T

the captain

Landlubber
Ahoy There

I have been happily playing Build 13 for the last 3 weeks but got to the stage now where I own 3 Manowars and a Ship of the Line, plus 30 odd Million with various loansharks spread over the Archipelago... Maybe its time I gave Build 14/6 a go

Something strange though, when I download the Build 14/6 file from this website AND Pieters Pirates page, it contains the run me bat for Build 13, and the build info file is for Build 13 as well

Whats all this about then ? Is it just me ? Needless to say the runme bat doesnt work because Build 13 is already running fine. I spent half of sunday trying to figure out if it was something I was doing wrong, re-installing and so on,

Please could someone throw some light on this please, many thanks in advance
 
Actually they are not the same. If you are refering to this:

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->For Build 13 to work properly, certain files need to be moved around.
This program will take care of that. ect...<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

Don't mind it, just install the build as instructed <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?s=&showtopic=11643&view=findpost&p=240320" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>, then I suggest that you install Update 2, you may found it <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?s=&showtopic=11369&view=findpost&p=229968" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a>.

Once your done just start the game and set the control to default or rearange them the way you wanted to then enjoy the game.

Which buildinfo file is that? The "Build Info.txt" file? If that still says Build 13, are you sure Build 14 Alpha 6 extracted to the correct folder?
Did you allow it to overwrite all necessary files? Or did maybe Windows prevent those files from being overwritten?
Wouldn't be the first time something like that happens.
Having the game OUTSIDE the Program Files folder when installing the mod, seems to work better.
 
I thought he was talking about the folder me bad, but still I recommand what Pieter said, change folder other then Program File then follow my instruction, you should be ok after. If let say that the exe for build alpha 6 don't overwrite the files, try extracting them to a seperated folder then copy and paste it on top of it, that's what I usually do.

when I load the game now, it still says Build 13, but I tried a new game and there one or two subtle differences like Icons have changed and the character screens etc.... but no new islands. Does this mean I have build 14/6? Ive derfinitely got something, but more like an updated build 13

what makes the matter more confusing is I followed Estharos instructions and performed the runmebat and it said 'access denied' a few times instead of the usual few dozen 'copied' columns. but then I go into start a new game as described above and there are subtle differences

Im sorry Pieter I just checked the buildinfo file again and it IS the correct alpha 14/6 file, I got confused

I remember a couple of weeks ago you said people running on Vista might have difficulties installing to program files, in my case the opposite worked and I could only install the stock game to c/games it didnt like build 13, so I tried it on program files and build 13 worked fine, maybe you what you said about vista not liking modders poking around in program files applies to build 14 upwards ? I dont like the look of the 'access denied' on the runmebat
 
I haven't got a clue what's going on. All I can think of is that Vista security matters are preventing files being overwritten or batch files executing in the Program Files folder. All I can tell you: I have Vista and installing works fine in other folders. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Alpha 6 does not contain the three new islands, if I remember correctly.
Anyway, Alpha 9 will be available in a couple of days (depending on my luck), so I recommend you try again then. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
I'll let Pieter answer that, as for me it look like a bad installation since only part of the program show up. Also I don't think there's any new Island for Alpha 6, I think this feature was implemented only in Alpha 8 and up.

Yes thanks all, keep up the good work

I wont give up i'll try again in a few days, been playing this game too long to quit now
 
In a few days, Alpha 9 will be available, opening up PLENTY of new possibilities. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
