So I have just now gotten POTC installed on this machine at the house, but I've lost track of which files I should be downloading to install over it. I'll inspect the FTP for the newer ones, but anyone want to advise me? I mean, which are the stable ones and which ones are for testing, and all that. Thanks mates.
 
Ditto! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Stable (or nearly so): Pieter's modpack on top of build 12.1

Alpha: the latest pre13, though I'm going to reup it again tonight. Requires:
1. Pieter's modpack
2. Screwface's A&M islands
3. the latest pre13 codebase, which I will shortly be updating (but don't worry, it's only ~1.5mb)
 
Yeah what I ended up getting was was two NK fleets zips, and for the past like seventeen hours I've been trying to download the one with the big long name, with screwface's map &c. I mean the frigging thing was within a half hour of being done when my connection got reset so I had to start all over... so please tell me that is a good file to have.

Pieter's pack is only available from his site isn't it?

When was B12.1 released? I have 11.99 on disk and some version of 12 but I dunno if it is the latest. I don't see any builds on the FTP.

Not all of them though. I'll be working on a full download of all required resource files for the next Build update.

The proper version is, for as far as I know, only available from my page.

The full installation file contains Build 12.1. I reckon, if you want to download as little as possible, you can install Build 11.99, then run the online installer file, which will update all files you don't have up-to-date yet. You don't usually have Euro-troubles, do you? It should work then, I reckon... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
What I have installed so far is B12, and then Pieter's modpack, just downloaded this afternoon. (All friggin' afternoon on this lousy 56k that isn't even half capacity most of the time.)

So Screw's A&M islands are next?* Do I want the standalone or that thing with the big long name (also includes Vas's weapons, a pre-B13 codebase and something by CCC)?

Also, very important: No one else gets errors with exactly the combination I described above? I kept getting C++ errors on startup till I commented out all three lines in buildsettings.h about armour.

* wierdest thing, this Russian kid started IMing me out of nowhere one day, and we had this conversation in latinized russian and he wanted my dialog files from the A&M add-on. I asked him how he found me and he just gave me some Russian proverb which basically translates to, He who seeks shall find.

I'm inclined t' agree wi' ye, Fred Bob! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> Though I just moved that over to the A&M Addon HERE: <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=2083&st=320" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=2083&st=320</a>
 
So I saw the new islands, splendid. But then I tried to land at one and my game crashed. Can you only make landfall at a few, or is glitch special to me alone?
 
It's not finished yet, Alan, it's still being worked on. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Can't wait for the time when we can actually USE them for something... It's a wonderful addition to the game for which I've been hoping for quite some time now.... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

Finally I can find a spot where Armand and Estrella can set up their secret base of operations - and Armand can become a pirate quest generator... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
But we can land at some islands for now right? Yeah this is really exciting, but I hope we get some new nations to go along with it.

The Russian kid wanted the files because for some reason the last few versions of the A&M thingy don't have the dialog .c files and such as seperate files, I guess they are integrated into what he called a "pachka," yeah I'm not sure.

I thought I had to copy the armor defines into BS.h, but they were still in globals.c too, so you'd get a double define causing trouble. Sorry for that. Commenting out those lines should work, though you can safely just remove them. They're completely superfluous and just another bug by me.

I believe you can land at some islands yes. Not all though. Can't remember at which ones you can land. LOL! I never even tried to. I should.

Right, that was recently discussed in another thread (I think the one Fred Bob pointed to) - The A&M mod has the dialogs (and other scripts) locked up in DLLs.
So maybe Alexus wouldn't be too happy if you gave the kid those files ?
 
Pieter: No worries, just glad to know the answer.

Inez: Oops. Those tricky Russians... Oh well, he didn't get that much out of me. I dunno where all those old files went but I don't think I have all the ones Sailor Al sent me a year ago.
