Build 14 Beta 1

If you are refering to what you and a couple of other people had problems with no, cause most people (including me) dont have these problems so cant address them... Check out the features list for what it does look at :shrug
 
Hello!

I've downloaded Build 14 Beta 1, and I noticed a bug with the "Controls" menu : if you enter the "Controls" menu when a game is started, you won't be able to continue your game because the "resume game" button will be grayed.

Bye,
Gregoire
 
If you check the BUG tracker this is confirmed, the reason why this is the case is if we dont do this it leads to a greater BUG that kills the entire game :shrug
 
In B14 P1 I acquired a flat deck frigate yesterday. I have a very nice one in B14 F1 also. I have seen this particular ship before but never got it. I got this one from a pirate and it had no flags. This is important to me because if a ship has no flags, then there is probably something wrong with it. Like this ship won't go more than 3 knots even in a 26 knot tailwind, and that ship can go 11 knots in a 6 knot headwind, and t'other ship just won't turn, etc. Anyway, the first thing I noticed was that there was no deck crew, and all the cannons were below decks. Then I noticed that I could hardly move around at all. Bummer. Then I found that my spyglass no longer showed any information at all. We went to the closest port where it was sold. Later I bought one in a shipyard. It turned out to be the same flush deck frigate, but with flags. It has all of the same issues, so it must be intended to be like this. It sails and fights well; I even captured a 1st rate Man O War with it. Umm, not having any information at all makes it difficult to judge when to board another ship. I boarded that big mutha far too soon. Anyway, it is a very interesting ship but I much prefer the other one, at least until this one is finished. Haven't seen the other one yet tho. :keith

I have found the flush deck frigates have no flags and the spyglasses don't work on them either.

Also since playing with patch, no governors will give me pirate hunting missions. Anyone else having that problem?

What I am seeing is that almost all large ships at sea have no flags. Brigs and below usually do have flags, but I'm at the point where larger ships are needed. Every ship I have bought at a shipyard does have flags, even an armed merchantman that I could not sail because of graphical anomalies. It looked good, but I was buried in and below the deck.

So far I have only seen that one type of flush deck frigate. I hope the other one is out there somewhere. I have it in B14 fix1.

Went to Havana on an escort mission. Got stuck on the dock and the merchant did not show up. Went there alone and got into town. Very nice! That tavern is huge! I didn't get to explore the town very well because of ctd's in the tavern, but intend to go back soon.

The only governor who has offered me missions is the one at Martinique. Except for Silehard of course. They are like that in B14 fix1 also.

A lot of work has been done in this patch, and it is appreciated. :onya

There are 6 models that are called "Flushdeck Frigate"

HMS_Suprise, FR_Bouselle, Lydia1, Lydia2, Lydia3, Lydia4

These models work properly:
HMS_Suprise
FR_Bouselle

FR_Bouselle
​

These models have problems:
Lydia1
Lydia2
Lydia3
Lydia4

The spyglass problem affects ONLY the four "Lydia" models. And, I *THINK* it may be due to the *_path.gm files on those models. These are the geometry files that dictate how you are able to walk on deck (first person view) while sailing. As you've probably noticed, you can walk through the main mast, the stairs on the port and starboard don't function and the walk area generally doesn't match where you "should" be able to walk. Maybe we could get the original modder (Yo Ho Ho according to the ships_init.c comments) to take a look at it.

Also, I see a flag on ALL the models. However, I do not see PENNANTS or ENSIGNS, which I think is what you are referring to?

I'm getting them from all of the governors. Are your relations "Neutral" (-30) or better? If your relations with a nation are (-31) or worse, you won't be offered any pirate hunting missions. Try buying a LoM and then see if you get any missions from that nation.

Good to know. Thanks
 
hi, i started playing this again also, downloaded the new build, and install it in my build alpha 9.5 patch 1, is that safe to do? or should i do a fresh install, since i notice, most of the ship and cloths i buy or use don't have image icon on them, or in other words there image is blank like the Manow50_gub ship of the line i always use doesn't have an image icon, unlike in alpha 9.5, so can anyone tell me if its normal or isnt?

oh btw i cant seem to see some of the icons on the sail also, ive patch it
 
yes i override it all then patch, though this mod is kinda scary 1.5gb lol

though i did made a new folder for it, copy my entire PotC to a new folder, then install the mod there
 
Just re-install it or start over again. You will have a completely different game. That is what happens with me. I currently have 2 B14 patch 1 games going. One has flushdeck frigates all over the place(Lydia) and almost no ships of any type have flags or pennants. The other one has no flushdeck frigates and most ships have flags and pennants.

Missing icons? It's just a beta, so I thought the mod team had not gotten to that yet. Are all ships supposed to have icons?
 
I'm seeing a lot of nice new ships without deck crews. Are they supposed to be this way or is my install SNAFU'd. Also, is there a way to enable deck crews?
