Me, gameplay and mod 13 final

[kimg89]

Hey there

Basically I finally got the original POTC game to work on my laptop and I installed the mod Keith uploaded in the downloads section (mod 13 final).
Everything went fine until I started a new game and I started to notice little things happening like I would float through walls, or get stuck when I went too close to a door.
Anyways I carried on the game...until I gave up after getting so frustrated that I kept dying when I stayed over at this guys house to keep watch/protect... then when I attacked the guy that appeared/breaking in... all the guards came to kill me... and then when I work up in the tavern and went downstairs I died again lol
Anyone know if this is a bug... or am I doing something wrong?

Why Build 13?

I suggest you try Build 14 Alpha 9.5 Patch 3. Although it is an alpha the only time my game crashes is when I edit the files myself and do something wrong. It adds heaps of new content including several new storylines
- Horatio Hornblower
- Jack Sparrow
- Bartolomeu o Portugues
- Johan Elting
- Blaze/Beatrice Deavlin

It also has ALOT of improvements in gameplay and the next patch is looking to improve the game alot more

The update is nearly worth it JUST for the different flags mod, and if you like relasitic gameplay we are working on Period correct information (the storylines happen over a number of different periods) :

As for why you die a lot are you by any chance a low level, cause I think you get attacked by like 3 men so you want to have good melee to do it

Floating through walls is because of the sidestep we added.
It seems impossible to add proper collision detection,
so it's up to the player to make normal use of it.

As for your guards problem, make sure you don't accidentally hit the person who occupies the house.
If you kill only the thiefs, the guards should be just fine with that.

If you die too quickly, get your fencing skill up and get a better blade.
What difficulty are you playing on?

Hey there
Thanks for your advice and help on the matter! I'll download that patch you recommended Magee asap. It's great how you've modded the game so much because I do agree that eventhough the original game was great it did lack some things. Yeh, I think I might be a bit low level to take on those guys hehe only one appeared once and I was low on cash so I thought I'd help him out Maybe when I'm a bit more established. I need some sort of guide because I get too carried away! I think I'm playing on the Medium difficulty so I might change it to the lowest one for now while I get my bearings!
Thanks again
Kim

Ah; medium difficulty might explain it. I always play at lowest and find it quite doable,
but on higher difficulties, you indeed need to be more careful.
