just reinstalled this game

[BLOODUK]

Havent played it since it first came out and i never did complete the game
remember it playing up at the last mission before i was about to hit
the black pearl!

So how have things changed? ive read that this mod thing turns the game into something great, i hope so... the latest pirates game is rubbish
still prefer port royale 1 and 2

Have an ale! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":beer" border="0" alt="beer2.gif" />

Here is some info on what the mods will do:

<a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=2378" target="_blank">Build 11 info</a> (still useful for Build 12)

<a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=269&st=0" target="_blank">B12 FAQ</a> Some good info here

<a href="http://www.piratesahoy.net/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_details/gid,24/Itemid,46/lang,/" target="_blank">Download B12.1 here</a>

That will give you the full version of B12 - as it has been bugtested and works well. We are also working on B12.3(?4?5? 13???) - this is called Pieter's Modpack and is still being bugtested and changed (almost on a daily basis). It's probably better that you NOT get Pieter's modpack until you are familiar with B12.1 - there were a LOT of problems that were changed into great things in B12.1 - you will enjoy it, I am sure.

It's like a whole new game, and better by far than the buggy stock version...

If you have any questions or get stuck, please do not hesitate to ask, someone will come along to help as soon as they can. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Hummm, I'm guessing the game worked just fine, before?

And you tried to load a previous save but the game is crashing?

Did you start a new game? You will have to start a new game to experience all the features of B12.

Are you getting any error logs?

Look in your PotC directory for any documents with the .log file extension. You will be able to open them with notepad. One will be called error.log - one will be compile.log, and another will be system.log. If you open them, copy about the last ten or so lines from each and post them here, it will help us to figure out what's happening.

Thanks. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Not just 'experience all the features'--a previously-saved game flat out will crash B12 I believe.
When you use quicksave, it _will_ show up with the 'bad save' picture, but don't be afraid: It'll load anway. Either select it anyway in the load interface and load, or with no interface up hit numpad/ which should load it right then and there.

If you're just starting, I _really_ recommend you take the chance to also install Pieter's modpack first. Otherwise you'll just have to start again when we release it as b13 (but if you get in now, you won't have to restart).

 

[CatalinaThePirate]

Nathan, to my mind, Pieter's modpack still has an awful lot of bugs to work out. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

awful experience <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
