Pre Build 13 Modpack

I hope it's not my fault <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> It was late and I have to get up at 5:30AM and I so wanted to try that new update. So I got greedy and started fresh with a reinstall of the game and the download of the 296mb file with a multiple connection download manager. 10 min. from end of transfer, it stopped and I got the message everyone gets on the web page. So I ended up not playing at all <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

So maybe the multiple connections got them mad or a bandwidht limit got in the way? Either way I still can't wait to try this update. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Apparently, the Pre Build 13 on my site generated so much traffic, that the server's host disabled downloading from my downloads folder. Keith cleared everything up though. The download has been moved to the piratesahoy.com server instead and all other downloads are enabled again. Everything should be working as usual again, thanks to Keith! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

I don't know if it was you, but it was bound to happen anyway. Apparently, the piratesahoy.org server simply can't handle the traffic generated by a very popular 300 MB file. Anyway, all is fixed now and you should be able to download it. I hope you manage and will enjoy playing it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Pieter:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->It is worth a try, actually. I suppose that if it doesn't work, we'd find out soon enough. I would like to try and hyjack AoP's sea somehow. I'd have to ask Maximus about the resource files. I'll give it a try. I don't want to say it won't work before I tried it. Although I agree with Pirate_KK and IncredibleHat that it most likely won't work, so don't get your hopes up too much...<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Thankee Pieter

Merciless Mark has done a lot to this build over the years, and he thought it worth a try! So did I! If it did work and upgraded POTC to the newer DirectX 9 it would greatly increase run times and graphics capability!There is never guarantees enough, but "faint hearts never won fair maidens"
 
Thank you Pieter, will try the new download location this evening. I would never have guessed a pirate game could be this full of features. I was right, it's all because of you great modders that it is possible.

I Thank you all very much

P.S. Sorry if a bit off topic
 
If it does get POTC running with DX9 ... that would very well be worth the risk in trying I think. This game really should fly on todays machines... and it must be the DX8 libraries it is using that is preventing such.
 
If someone can do reliable tests of those dlls and confirm that PotC engine.exe cooperates with them and with DirectX9 well, that would be really fantastic.

What's strange, installer of PotC installs DirectX 9c, if memory serves me, but still, it uses older DirectX 8 instead. The way that program was coded is sometimes strange... Why DirectX 9 is on CDs when program really uses only DirectX 8?!

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

Look's like Admin deleted somethink he did not wont us to see lolz.

But if you look your see not just here but on other topic's from 10th july till 17th july gone. 1 week's worth.
 
Yes we can see that as it was hacked. Thankyou William for the hard work to get to forum back up and running. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I have to ask... SilverHawk, how old are you?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I don't see how that as any think to do with the forum. This is for talking about build mod 13 not that sort of thing thank you lolz
 
"Hears no evil"

In the posts that got eaten by the hacker, there was an exchange as follows: (close quote)

Den Dee: (links to the post "The forum was hacked")
Silverhawk: Oh so. too bad. I wouldn't have made this joke if I knew. Thanks for the link.

It's okay folks, we all need an update every now and then, when we miss important events.

Hat: By all means, kill the welp. Just not right now... I promise you a grand hat. A REALLY grand hat... commodore?

Yeah, sorry about the pages lost mates. That really sucked. Backups weren't running as scheduled so we had to go back to the one ran on the 10th of July. ... Ugh ...

Btw, we talked to the hosting guys at for the .org and we might need to move everything back over there ... The popularity of the build and everyone downloading at a time ... Wowsers ... Might need to put it a mirror on rapidshare or something like that and cap the bandwidth ... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
 
Obviously I missed out on a lot in the last week, from some of the other posts I gather that there has been another Update released in the last week. If this is the case can some one give me the link for it please.......... Cheers

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Hat,

Since you mentioned it, how old are you and what did you mean by <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->That pretty much answered my question and confirms my suspicions.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->?
