[TOTAL CONVERSION] The Piratez Mod - 0.9.j - 9 May - Holiday Edition

[Arthanor]

Alright! Thanks for the answers It is a peculiar thing to get used to that the mod is not built to play in a certain order or deliver you all the goods. I am discovering that that was very much ingrained in me by the original.

New game indeed Hopefully I get time to play more tonight!

Dioxine I think you said you will release a final version for the pre update before you move it to extended right?
Is it worth the wait (I torn between reinstalling the game or waititng for extended version) for the update, or should I wait for extended version?
I assume the saves wont be combatible on the extended yes?

I am very sorry for this hazy bug report, but the game keeps crashing after a few turns on this map fighting these guys.

There is no error message and nothing is added to openxcom.log

3 Turns? I had this too, but it was not on this map.

[Dioxine]

The current Nightly cannot support Piratez due to 1000 items-per-mod limit, hence there is little sense in trying to repair the mod before these issues are fixed. I'm waiting for some kind of stability to emerge before I'll try to release a new playable version.

Heya Diox out of curiosity your mod page still has the directions to place Piratez into the data folder. I assume this is intentional since Piratez doesn't seem fully functional on the pre-TFDT OXC revision?

[Dioxine]

Yes it is incompatible with the new mod system. And for a good reason, since it can't work with the new mod system, not until 1000 items limit problem is resolved anyway.

[Phoenix7786]

Ok that's what I assume. I'm holding off on your mod until then. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are more interested in the Piratez extended version for future development?

[Dioxine]

Yes that is correct. Though it might take weeks before I can release it.

Hi

First of all, the Piratez mod is awesome, thank you for all the time and effort you put into it 
Unfortunately I have a technical problem with one of the pogrom missions. No matter what I do, I get a CTD every time during the enemy turn.
Don't know if this is a mod issue or openxcom issue. I am using the openxcom_git_master_2015_05_04_1846 version of the game and latest version of the mod.

Dioxine,

As the mod is not currently compatible with Nightlies beyond April 30th, and the https://openxcom.org/git-builds/ no longer has this build available, do you want to link the copy that I have in the Opening Post?

So the 2015_04_30_0720 build should be more stable? Maybe I will just start a new game then...

[Zharkov]

I have another reapeatable ctd. This time, when I end the first turn, the tank fires, a mutant screams, and crash. This has a strange aesthetic, but I'd like to continue the game...

Btw, I found this beginner's guide to pirate language: https://www.thepirateking.com/terminology/terminology_pirate_fun.htm
I wonder, when Dioxine will implement the parrots.

Your problems are probably not related to the Nightly build, but to the specific mapset, with possibly buggy tiles.  Pogroms can be pretty finicky because of this, in my experience.

A more updated nightly should be fully compatible with your current saves. Going backwards to an older nightly though I have no clue.
