1. Braces of pistols not visible?

2. Can't complete the taking of a fort?

3. Ocassional boarding problems?

a. Sometimes Freezez after talking to Captain?

b. Sometimes can't take or add crew or assign Captain?

Some time ago I've sent a PM to Pieter and he said that problems with boarding would be probably solved in the incoming update - Maximus made some fixes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Braces of Pistols will certaily be fixed. Boarding, capturing and captain-related stuff might be fixed. You would need to test that yourself. Maximus said he didn't have any boarding-bugs anymore though.

I am having good-related troubles now. For some reason the chocolate at the beginning of the game isn't in your hold, you get too many balls, too little powder to fire it all and not enough food and rum either. Something's wrong. I think Maximus will have to fix that... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
I am currently working on compiling a new update. It is bound to contain several unfixed bugs, but I hope the CTDs are at least fixed. Plus it will allow you to play around with the new features for a bit. I still have lots of things to add, but I'll do that later. Otherwise you won't be having any release this weekend... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
<!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><b>New update!</b><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
Finally a new update has been made available. Apart from adding a lot of new things, I hope that the CTDs are now fixed. I tested for a bit and didn't encounter any. I don't dare say they actually ARE fixed though... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

The file's available <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.org/downloads/post_b12_full_upd_22-4-06" target="_blank">here</a> (58,5 MB).

This file can be installed on the post_b12_full.zip file or any other version released after that. After extracting, run English.bat. I would recommend you to answer <i>yes</i> to the questions it asks.

This version still contains some very annoying bugs; I personally encountered some really weird good-related problems. When buying goods, I recommend you don't use the auto-buy button at the moment. It might buy too much ammo, so you don't have enough space left for food. At least that's what I think is the problem. Also: You won't have the chocolate at the beginning of the game that you're supposed to sell. And your ship isn't damaged either.

New things to look have a look at:
- New ships and character skins from AoP.
- When you start a new game, you get a <i>Choose character</i> screen
- Gunpowder is added as a good; look out for gunpowder barrels on boarding enemy ships and have a look at the gunpowder storage on your ship's deck. You can use gunpowder both for cannons as for pistols. Different cannons use different amounts of gunpowder.
- Hugely improved graphics on the cannons firing.
- Lots of other new stuff; I will make a more thorough list of features some time later.

<!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->Important notes:<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
When starting a new game, you HAVE to choose a nation. You can change your character's and ship's name by clicking on them, press Backspace and typing the new name.
To loot a character, you HAVE to use the O-key. After a while, the corpses will disappear automatically. (Toggleable in BS.h)
Anchoring now takes a longer time, because you first lower your sails. (Toggleable in BS.h)
 
Pieter, the update came off the server unzipped. I know what to do with a zipped file, extarct all all to the POTC folder. What do we do with this file?

edit:i'm srry jason i just readed your question agian

when i downloaded it it was a zipped file i dont understand that you dont have a zipped folder
 
@ Jason: Did you used internet browser to download this file or some kind of other programs? If it was only a browser the connection would be broken (it happens sometimes) and you could get only a part of a file, which in this form is corrupted. I'd advice you to try download it again - especially if file sizes doesn't match.

Ok heres my input so far

I encountered a bug in the beginning when i was playing now on easiest and boarded a warship with my sotl that i took very fast it could not fire for the rest of the battle.

Now not a bug, but that fight sound on the boarding screen has got to go, its annoying as hell!
 
Pieter, When the extation is complete, there is an exe file called guild settings.exe. Should we run that?
 
Two more things

1.) The War Tartane is missing deck and cannon textures

2.) Is it possible to change walk speed for individual models? the AoP ones have their walk animations out of sync with the walking speed, except for beatrice running.

Optionally, yes. This is GUI helping modifying parameters from PROGRAM\BuildSettings.h. Run it, point BuildSettings.h and change values for various fields.

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

While testing I found following problems:
- just when I started ENGINE.EXE for the first time I got an error message. the error.log contained following:

COMPILE ERROR - file: Towntable.c; line: 1245
Invalid Expression
COMPILE ERROR - file: Towntable.c; line: 1245

Invalid Expression
COMPILE ERROR - file: Towntable.c; line: 1245
Undeclared identifier: ST_JOHNS_STORE

I didn't know how to define this so I've just commented this line out (!!!). After that the game started.

- the most serious problem was miss of wheat, rum, chocolate and leather in the cargo hold. After I artificially added this by executing "SetCharacterGoods()" in console.c those missing cargo appeared. But, the problem seems to be more serious: later I saved a game, exited PotC and loaded the last save again - after that the cargo hold of my ship contained only amunition and gunpowder again! Before I saved I made sure that weight of the cargo doesn't exceed maximum.

- when I select a "Trade Book" tab I opened "Character Selection Screen" (that one which appears after starting of new game).

I'll try to uninstall PotC and make a fresh install. Hope it's only my system weirdness.

Pieter is aware of the cargo bug,

however im having another problem, my character seems to have a will of its own regarding weapons, i equipped my char with a rapier, then when i went to anothe part of time i appeared with a needle(that i had in my inventory) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
Ack! bugs keep cropping up everywhere, this one is more serious thou, its happened several times now, i suddenly become unable to board, theres nothing i can do but start a new game to be able to board ships again <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
Another anoying bug. If 2 corpses are close together, sometimes if you loot one, they both disapear.
