When you go to port, you shouldn't be right on the locator that takes you back to the ship.

I will look at that as I go through the game.
 
Oh my! Looks like Morgan is dancing!
How could that happen? Maybe you have AOP models toogle turned off?
 
Iam having a strange problem, i installed b14.85 but after loading new game iam getting only black screen. What may be wrong?

I didn't know this option was in the game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Well, I had just find that myself, otherwise I didn't know about it either...

In initModels.c : #define USECIIIMODELS 0 // 1 to use non-PotC models, 0 to eliminate them - 11Feb09
 
LOL! I should've seen that one coming! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
The fix is fairly simple: move the USECIIIMODELS if-statement from around the whole initModels entry to just around the AssignModelType lines for characters "Morgan" and "Espinosa" and they'll be good again. I'll include this change in the next Alpha. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

To firemark: Please try to reinstall again, making sure to follow the instructions exactly.
 
It was my clean installed game allready, and iam sure i installed the build right. can i send some log files or something?

Something went really wrong. Did you remove the PROGRAM folder prior to installing Alpha 8.5?
 
You really MUST remove the PROGRAM folder before extracting Alpha 8.5. Removing the decks and RESOURCE\INI folders aren't really required, but the PROGRAM folder step you really can't skip.
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> I think you can suffice with just removing the PROGRAM folder, then re-extracting Alpha 8.5.

Saves created with the new update are not compatible with the updated game. You can get the red text saying 'This save is not compatible with this version' warning.

Uh? You mean after installing Alpha 8.5 Patch 1, you make a savegame and that savegame it can't load? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
I did change the savegame value, which probably results in EVERY savegame from prior Alpha's being able to load.
The reason is that we were up to 14.9 and there's not much higher to go.
So I changed it to 14.0851 so that in the future the numbering is correct. A new game is required despite what the update might lead you to believe.
 
Thats what I'm saying. I installed per instructions. Reset Controls. Started New Game. then attempt to immediately load that newly saved game.... Error regarding the save game being out of date.
