Are you running BOTH? (The way you have written the above suggests this)
and did you download update 3 on top of FULL
or did you download FINAL as a complete program?
 
I´ve installed 13 final.. // ok.. i try reinstall the game... install 12 , then 13final..

What do you prefere? 13final or 13full +uppdate3 ?


Shal it be update3 or uppdate3 full?


/ i can play the game.. but i have to (right click and pres run as administrator) // its nothing wong about doing that but the game become laggy, Some time it is lagging (screen turns black)

13 Final - (though it shouldn't make a difference)

Don't worry about the locator cheat for the moment.

Niether - Build 13 Final is the complete program on its own.
 
Build 12 is not required either. Just Build 13 Final should do. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Let's take a deep breath here.
This is how you should have done it: (from Pieter's "official" instructions)
1) Install the stock game.
2) Follow the installation procedures in the Build 13 Final installer file
3) Let the installer run the RunMe.bat file and follow it's instructions
4) Change the game's settings in BuildSettings.h
5) Change the game's controls to your liking
6) Start a new game and ENJOY!

Q2: where can i download build 13 final?

A2: see here for all of the links and various other add-ons:

<a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11369" target="_blank">http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11369</a>

If you do a 12 ontotop of a 13 you WILL mess it up!
So, to recap - you should have had the stock game running O.K. (the one out of the box) then you can download.
 
You should never install and older game version on top of a newer. Install Build 12.1 first and Build 13 Final after that does no harm. Doing it the other way definitly does.

What do i put instead of tortuga tavern for the tutorial deck?

PS. I'm sure I asked a great big bunch of questions on the old forum... They've disappeared...
 
The old forum? You mean THIS old forum? I'm pretty sure some stuff disappeared from the forum, but at least most of the stuff is back now. It's probably only the most stuff posted shortly before the forum going down that's gone.

"Tutorial_Deck" should work. Of course this stuff has been 100% rewritten for the Build 14 Alpha version.
 
Yeah; I think some of the most recent posts that were posted here have disappeared. Just ask the questions again if you still remember them.
 
by it's been 100% rewritten, do you mean for build 14 it's called something different? I'm no longer using 13, but (as I keep repeating) 14.6.
 
What did you say that I do so that it checks what your characters name is, and the quest starts if it's a specific name, Pieter? It appears to have been deleted.
 
The tutorial deck is no longer one location. It now depends on your ship. Small ships have small cabins and big ships have got big ones. This is also used as such in the tutorial now.

For the check:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->if(pchar.name == "Horatio" && pchar.lastname == "Hornblower")<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
It is better to add CheckAttributes here as well, but that doesn't make things any simpler. That's why I wrote a new function:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->string GetAttribute(ref tmp, string att)
{
    if(CheckAttribute(tmp,att)) return tmp.(att);
    else return "";
}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
With that function you can write it as this:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->if(GetAttribute(pchar,"name") == "Horatio" && GetAttribute(pchar,"lastname") == "Hornblower")<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
Just stick the function somewhere in a C file. I have it in NK.c.
 
Also, how do I make it so if the player Chooses Horatio Hornblower as their name, the ship they choose is never created/destroyed instantly, and puts them in a frigates cabin (the frigate will hopefully be a custom model/an edited model).
