Newbie alert !!!!

None of the Changes I made in the Build settings .h file ARE WORKING OR TAKING EFFECT IN THE NEW MOD...

I went into the folder expecting to have to do them over again.

and altough I changed things a bit . ( the build settings file was unchanged..not overwritten by the mod install ).

NOTHING I changed is working .

How do I enable the Brothel and the codes and all the other options etc. on THIS MOD ?

I deleted ALL the old saves . So I started a fresh new game .
 
there is a mod that does something strange when you press F12. as far as i could understand the text next to it, it could mean that there would be an alien abduction. the discription was very vague about it. i haven't tried it yet. it said: press F12. go ahead, i dare ya!

It's not gonna blow my Finger off!!??? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
You know I am loading the game just to press that button...you do KNOW that right ... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
 
maybe it's changed? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> it was there in build 12.1 and it could be changed in the buildsettings.
 
Good luck the build settings do not work in the new mod for me ...I'm goint to uninstall the thing and go back to the game I was having fun with ..13.9 buid until things gets sorted out.


BTW F 12 seemed to just cange all the relations between countries...I think it made everyone hate me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
 
F12 is a modders tool key, Dont press it unless you know what you are doing, and have edited/altered the console code file.

As for BuildSettings.h, look in your Pirates of the Caribbean folder. Edit that. Delete any old file in the PROGRAM directory. As it is NOT read into the game.

If you install a "fresh" game, then all your ~problems~ may simply vanish, because you arnt looking in the right places with the old files left in the directory.

Ummmm I know exactly where and how to edit the build file ...in fact I have already done it 5 or 6 six times to change gameplay elements ...and have started a new game every time I changed it ...build 13.9 beta.

It has worked fine . I finally got what I wanted and palyed for 9 hours...them I loaded the new MOD build ..the final version.

The Buld file NO LONGER WORKS FOR ME.

So I reinstalled base 13 and build 13.9 and went and changed the build file to how I like it agian...and I am back playing my old saves .

But thanks anyway.

Now here's a good one.....some insane person is running around writing scripts for interaction with the NPC's..

If I laugh any harder my gall bladder is going to fall out.

I found this Monk Dude ..I talked to him...my options ranged from ..You look to dangerouse to be a monk..to " you look like a poto head in a sack with scurvy...plus other insane comments I cant remember but all funny...

Then he offers me charms...I declined because I am still learning to navigate around the game..and I had to find another member of his order...blah blah...side quest....save for later...

He said he was out of Holy hand grenades....come back later....other NPC's have come up in the tavern and called me a pirate and gotten me attacked...and with all the bodies piled up I cant move...( I have the loot the corpse option on ) .

Others have proffesed to be in love...men ( ? ) .

And others tell me to put lead in my pecker and stick a pinch of gunpowder in my rum . <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

This is insane. Its monty python on steroids. With swords aand guns.

Btw if anyone ever figures out how to use the options in the final of 13 let me know .

WTF? F12 is the "Execute Console" button. Nothing weird with that. It's a modder's tool. Same goes for F11 "Reinitialize". You don't need to press these buttons, but they shouldn't mess anything up either.

About BuildSettings.h: I should have made RunMe.bat remove the file from the PROGRAM folder. It's moved to the main PotC folder now and all settings you change in that version do take effect.

The code files for Build 13 are all in proper working order. If you have weird control-related issues, reset the controls to default and see if they're fixed.

The only real problem in Build 13 is the installation process with RunMe.bat that doesn't seem to work properly on the German version of the game. Although the only result of this file not working properly is that loading screens and voices don't work. Although this is not working as it should be, it is far from a major problem. I know it does work properly on the European English version though.
 
well, i found it in the things that where added in the build 12 readme file. i think that it was in the grey section.

Ah. I recall there being some crazy things in that ReadMe. Those were just jokes by Sir Christopher Mings, who made the ReadMe, though (if I recall correctly <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" /> ). There are no real alien abductions in the game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
pretty dangerous joke now then. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
There is ENOUGH crazy dialog in this game to last a life time...at times I think I am playing the Bards tale ...
 
are you sure you aren't just overreacting? i never encountered the things you talk about. at least, not to that extent.

Like " fish and( or ? ) clams mate " Blurted out like a guy with tourettes sydrome...


" drink some of me whiskey and put some fire in yer belly "

random things getting blurted out in the taverns..by NPCs

I have the music off so all I get are dialog and effects.

remember I am playing this for the first time ...some of this stuff might be background noise to you..


Or it could be the new batch of mushrooms that I've been eating ....who can tell ? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />


plus I actually read all the possible things that can be said in return to some npc's and other captains and such.

Some of it just cracks me up.

You never ran into the monk that he was calling a guy with a potato sack over his head ? Or A Potato head with scurvy ? The one that wants to give you three relics one that will keep you from leaving the island until you found another member of his order ?

That whole string of conversation and possible responses is just hilariouse...enough to save before and try all of them and reload...
 
whoo..that's really wierd. i think it's the mushrooms. i did encounter the monk, but not with those replies. maybe it's a wierd effect of reputation? you do get other responces with a bad reputation. you insult people more often, for instance.
 
Well France says I am a sea terror. I dont know what my rep is in General But My character says Hero.

But in my list of things to say there are always crazy insults.
Some funnier than others.

My list for captains that surrender includes cutting up him and his crew and feeding them all to the sharks and stuff among other things.

Whomever scripted this stuff is my Idol...its often fun just talking to people...but every once in a while I get denounced as a pirate and attacked by the whole townw and lynched...especially since I turned on loot the bodies auto..and get stuck getting shot at .

all in all a great effort deliberate or not.

go into a tavern and just stand around for a while .

Listen to the random blurtings and such...

Its sooooooooooooooooooo much better than age of Pirates its amazing ..in AOP all you hear is farts and burps and weird crappy noises that get annoying in a very short time.


Come to think of it I have not played age of pirates since installing this game despite all the trouble I had initially...and to tell you the truth unless Cyberprops comes up with a bug fix and stuff for his super mod I see no reason to play it.


Although the ship to ship combat is much better in my opinion...this MOD is generations on top of leaps and bounds in content and gameplay over AOP .

If the AOP graphics could be combined...or if this mod could be combined with AOP ...OMG that would be heaven...


But who is going to call bug busters to make that work ?
 
try shooting someone in Quebradas Costillas. the result are always different, but believe me, it's fun! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> before you think that it's a bug, it's supposed to happen.
 
To be honest I have not yet even touched the surface of this game. I have yet to visit every island.

Is there a way to get the French and all the other idiots to not be hostile so I can be like a trader for a while ?

just to learn the Islands and stuff.

I like getting sunk and killed and all but I want to mess around with some other stuff .


Meh I searched the forum a few different ways and didn't come up with anything.
 
well, you can buy amnesty at a diplomat. you can find him in the pirate and smuggler hideouts. i wouldn't recommend it with the french though. it might skrew up the main quest a bit, and your reputation with france is reset to neutral somewhere in the main quest, so it's a waste of money. where, well, i'll let you find that out. try to get a good reputation if you need money. lots of quests require a good reputation, and often add to it as well. when you go to QC, be warned that there will be some pirate ships, but if you sink them, you can land safely. the pirates wont attack you on land. be sure to test the bullet through the head!
