I tried to get it to run on my office laptop, because I'd prefer to use that one for developement and testing. I can get it to load to the worldmap or into indoor environments, but everything that's outside and it crashes without any kind of notice in anywhere in the logs. I believe it's the shaders, but beyond them I'm clueless.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

In fact, I do. My old Shuttle XPC had exactly that chipset. I remember having a lot of crashes, even when playing the version that is considered very stable, Build 13 Final. But it would run for hours before doing so and I was able to track the error.log. The game was released in 2003 and I bought the shuttle as new in 2005. DirectX 8 is on the drivers disc - dunno what shader version that contains, though..
Sorry not being able to be more precise, Erwin.

No problem. I kinda gave up on getting it to run and now I have a 30 megabyte version of POTC on the laptop that just loads up to the start screen and then immediately exits again, so I can at least see if it compiles without problems. For actual playtesting I just have to move my lazy *** to the other PC <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Oh my gosh thanks! This will make things MUCH more easier!

Here's definition files for CodeBlocks. All "special" commands of PotC will be visible as keywords.

After uncompressing three files should be created, which are to be put in temporary directory.

For Windows Vista:
1. Install CodeBlocks
2. Run it once and exit
3. Go your Folder withe your name on it <i>Your User Name</i>\AppData\Roaming\codeblocks and overwrite <i>default.conf</i> file with the one from archive
a) Folder Application Data is hidden, so to get there there should be access to hidden files (don't tamper with other files and folders there; just replace that one file).
b) <u>User</u> is login name of the <u>user</u> which installs and <u>uses</u> CodeBlocks.
4. Two other files (<i>PotC.cbp</i> and <i>PotC.layout</i>) should be put in PotC main folder (together with engine.exe)
5. Run CB again, click to open exiting project and select <i>PotC.cbp</i>.

The Vista Version! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> If you can't find it press Alt while in one of your windows, go to Tools-->Folder Options--> Click the "View" Tab--> and click the "View Hidden Files and Folders" button. Make sure you change it back once your done.

Thanks KK a very handy tool.

The PotC.cbp and PotC.layout only work as long as you don't remove/rename any files. But removing and renaming of files happens all the time! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />
In other words... it doesn't work for me anymore. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Just create a new empty project with all *.c and *.h files from PROGRAM\ folder should do.

I have quite a lot of ctds when using those CodeBlocks.

Beats me how to do that. The program appears advanced enough. Unfortunately <b>I</b> am not advanced! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
