Congradulations Pieter, and good luck to you!!! Wishing you all the best with your work ahead.

By the way - Maersk - that sounds soooooo cool. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Looking forward to hearing the stories from that adventure!!!


Cheers, and fair winds to you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> Pieter and the bug fixers!

Thank you so much for Beta 6.

I have only played a little but have noticed most of the big game play bugs seem to fixed. The ransack interface seems fine and the crew are using firearms with the ammo mod on and we can bur pistol bullets, too.

Three cheers to Jack Rackam!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wavarr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":warr" border="0" alt="wavarr.gif" />

I have played on and around Cuba and so far no problems with other islands. I did get a treasure quest for the "wild coast of Cuba" and since the beaches are no named first and second Cuba shore, I am not sure where to go, but that is minor. Cayman also seems fine.

I will try to chek the rest of the other islands today. Great job every one!
 
Excellent! I'm glad to hear that this is working better than Beta 5! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
Pieter, much success with Radar and Maersk ! (Do you have internet access on Maersk ships? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> )

On the new islands, there was no governor or smuggler on Turk
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I didn't created them. Turk is a pirate island like Tortuga or QC, so there's no governors or authorities. On QC there's a chief, but his function is very poor - I thought there's no point of cloning him on Tortuga and Turks. I have added import and export goods on Turks, but no contraband, so smuggler is obsolete there. I didn't add a smuggler on Tortuga though it has contraband, but it's a pirate settlement, which thus should be, I think, handled different than Santo Domingo or Port of Prince.

That makes a lot of sense <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
<!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><i><b>Latest news</b></i><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
I'll first start with some good personal news. I passed my RADAR Observer exam and I have been accepted as "apprentice officer" with the <a href="http://www.hollandamerica.com" target="_blank">Holland America Line</a>. This means that I will be gone for 150 days starting this February. The good part is that HAL ships have internet aboard, so I might still be able to keep a bit up-to-date with the goings on here. I still have an application with Maersk this Monday, but I don't think I will decide to sail for Maersk. I always did want to join the HAL.

Above things don't mean that I will be having more spare time yet though, I still need to finish that project for school. Luckily I got some help from a Spanish captain who is a friend of mine, making things much easier. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Then on to the PotC-related business. IncredibleHat has been doing some incredible bugfixing work during the kast week and I think he tackled most of the gamekilling bugs in Beta 6, so Beta 7 should be a major step forward. It will be released as soon as I got all IncredibleHat's fixes. I do have a whole bunch of them, but not all yet. But if everything goes well, Beta 7 will be released on short notice, tomorrow if we have some luck.

And I hereby want to give a major THANK YOU to IncredibleHat for bringing us much closer to being able to release the final Build 13. Without his work, it might have taken forever, but with his work, we are getting much closer! So major thanks! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
*ahem* ... well, keep in mind it was "my work" that caused that major locked in port bug that was a game stopper!!! LOL !!!

<b>GREAT NEWS</b> on your completion and acceptance! That's awesome!
 
That is great Pieter!

Well Done Pieter, Good Sailin, and God's Speed
 
Excellent and congratulations to you Pieter. May you sails always billow with a following wind.

Please try out <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods/b13_beta7.zip" target="_blank">this</a> update including some bugfixes to important issues. Be sure to check out the b13update.txt file in the buildinfo subfolder to see what was changed. This file is to be installed on top of Beta 6. I have no time anymore to upload the full file. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I hope that this version will be a major step in the right direction. With a bit of luck, this will fix most of the important issues, so that we'll be able to release Build 13 finally.

Can somebody please check the workings of the BuildingSet mod? Does everything still work? Do the dialogs make sense? Are planks and crewmembers properly substracted from the cargo hold and crew amount?
 
Hey congratulations Pieter. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Cheers and all the best. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Congrats, Pieter <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> HAL is a passenger line? Probably a much better working place than shipping containers to Shanghai and back.

And yes, TIH deserves a big THANK YOU for doing so much fixing work <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> I doubt that many people can imagine just HOW demanding and unrewarding that part of modding is <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Believe it or not, CCC, I can imagine how hard bugfixing is. True, I only have 3 years of progaming experience with that good old Borland Pascal, but bugfixing is always the nastyest part of it.
So congratulations IncredibleHat for the hard work.
 
Yeah, don't be congratulating me just YET!!!

I created a hell of a NASTY bug in Beta 7. Crap! I fixed it though... so Pieter can get that fix into Beta 8 as soon as he can.

If you can't wait, you can find the temp fix on the Bug tracker:
<a href="http://swankyplace.com/potcbugs/view.php?id=269" target="_blank">http://swankyplace.com/potcbugs/view.php?id=269</a>
 
I updated the Beta 7 download <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/pietersmods/b13_beta7.zip" target="_blank">here</a> to include IncredibleHat's latest fix.
 
Congrats on the news Pieter!(i seemed to miss this over the last few days!? - oh yeah i was getting killed over and over trying to 'defend' Oxbay from the french invaision! lol. I wonder if anyone has done it? with starting ships/no cheats etc?)

Anyway is that build 7 the current latest best beta to use is what i wanted to ask <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

oh and may your diesel flow smoothly and your radar never fail - congrats officer, sir! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
