Build 14 Alpha 7 Plus Full Version

Saved before so will try 1st only Beckett.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I have occasionally encountered the "black screen" but it wasn't specific to any particular part of the game.

I found that pressing "f1" which puts you back to the main menu - then pressing "Resume Game" cleared this fault.

I haven't seen the problem in a while now.
 
well guys I tried to reinstall this build again, and I just can't get it stable for some reason. I still get random crashes just about everywhere. On land, sea, air, and in space ( hehe..jk).

Build 6 works pretty good though..

I like all the stuff done in A7Plus, but I just can't keep it stable.
 
Stick to Alpha 6 then. Hopefully Alpha 8 will be better. The unstablishness of the recent versions is beginning to greatly annoy me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" />

Stupid suggestion (I'm sure you've tried it, but just in case <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> ): Have you shut down your computer and then restarted from switch on up?

And blowing yourself up is not a good choice either <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> not in those hard times. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
seems to be a rather good idea elsewhere, but i'd better not dig that subject up. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> Ahoy Pieter,

I share your frustration and annoyance. Perhpas the modders and any bug chasers we have should take a "time out and devote major effort to cleaning up 7 alpha plus before adding anything else. I would help but all I am good for is testing. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />

I agree
 
Ok, new stuff for POTC.
I added some buildings and jungles in Cuba. And I noted in front of the Santiago Townhall two soldiers using the same location. I deleted one of them.
The file is compatible with Build14/7 Plus.
 
As far as bugfixing is concerned: I am somewhat inclined to wait until Pirate_KK gets Alpha 8 done and then we can try to fix the bugs in that release. After all Alpha 7 Plus was never meant to be the <i>real</i> next alpha. That's why it's called Alpha 7 Plus and not Alpha 8. I just wanted to give you the opportunity to try out the new stuff. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Thanks Bartolomeu! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
aww, good job (don't like buildingset models in a perfect town <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />) just kidding.

Yeah.. the PotC installer boots after the install. Is that what you mean? I assume it does this to change/set the registry or sumthin.

The game itself runs great from 1.0 up to B14a6. then once the A7 goes on, everything goes haywire.

O.K. that sounds promising.
Stupid suggestion 2 (cos I'm sure you have <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> ) but have you installed the fixes listed in this thread?
 
has anyone ever thought about some sort of land compass? just so's I can tell north from south and avoid getting lost in the towns, jungles, dungeons, ect..ect.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
that could be really handy. i hate it when i keep getting lost on hispaniola and the oxbay caves.
 
Where are the dialogue files of John Coxon ? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> (the pirate at Cayman). I didn't find them. If they don't exist, you can install these ones.
 
There are several characters who were meant to get dialogs, but nobody made them yet. John Coxon must be one of them. So thanks for filling in the blanks! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" />
 
That´s settled, then? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Hope I understood everything right, just making a short summary:

1) Great stuff in 7 Alpha Plus thanks to all the contributers. More quests, more islands, in short: hours of more fun to the people!
2) Pirate_KK will incorporate it all into a (more stable?) Alpha 8
3) Testing and bugcleaning will take place - no new stuff will be added untill a stable Build 14A8 is released

Please correct me if I am wrong, of course..
 
1) There's no new islands. We do have one new town on Quebradas Costillas.
2) Pirate_KK is indeed working on Alpha 8. Release date is as of yet unknown. He has been experiencing new CTDs.
3) As far as I know, new stuff <i>is</i> being implemented. Not entirely sure though.
