What is the difference between this and the other one that was just uploaded? They both say build 14. Both uploaded at the same time. Both need the same resource file. Only difference is the filesize, but there is no explanation.
What's in a name?
The one is "Full" and I try to get *archived*.
And the other is "FINAL".
"Full" and "Final" aren't really explicitly descriptive identities. In a sense they could actually mean the same thing. "Full" implies it contains everything, which a "Final" version would also be assumed to do.
It cpuld indeed be interpreted that way. But it's definitely not the case here. You can see the "Full" version as a modern regular release; while the "Final" has all the Season DLCs included as well.
I just read a 2 year old article from this date of posting, that said you and im assuming others glancing at it from the forum, worked on for 17 years. Thats remarkable dedication. Its such a shame no one cares about this game, but its part of my own project of essentially patching and unifying it so my supported library is user friendly. Windows 10+ centric, but some Linux support. Over 130 games ive pushed into existence with my own raytracing mods, and now, texture mods. Cant program yet, but thats the ideal. Bots. Lots of auomation.
Good work sir. Ill have to check this one out in more detail when im done.
Also while im here I might as well ask. It would be nice if we could have an all in one tool that allowed as humanly easy as possible .dll proxying with minimally one listing window telling it what order things should be chain loaded. Humanity doesnt appear very interested in this capability, nor was it standard a feature in windows since most of their costumers have no use for such a tech. One of the devs that made a kind of hacked together one, wasnt very friendly. Out of principle I probably will find an alternate solution since there should already be many. So far its been fossil hunting of extinct means. I get the impression just in my sample size people that can program with tools on the net, have a tendency to think they are Gods gift to the human race, or actually enjoy making their work as impossible to use as possible. To them its like they made some kind of club only an elite few can enter, but this is legitimately the opposite of the singularity. Just an impression, not the rule. Imagine if fighter pilots had to deconstruct their instruments into 0s and 1s before each operation. Inefficiency is bad. Thats why this project: Youtube Remastered Retro PC Games, is such a slog. Eventual mass credits, everything in passes, because if I dont slice it up, I cant remember everything in a collective relationship of relevant information. Im not skynet.
For funsies.... but what do fighter pilots have to do with video games? These things can carry nuclearized cruise missiles, and video games are harmless, or at worst, dangerously time wasting.
Think of it big picture. These are craft that at best, can shoot down satellites. They would be unable to disable or slow down a kardeshev 2 civilizations extinction capable ambitions. And perhaps in several centuries, its very likely we will emulate the creative function in biological computation and it wont run on a split 20 watts of biological envelope. It might construct itself around stars. Human programming at that point would go extinct.
Extinct?
You sure?
What about "life will find a way"?
A few days ago I decided to play simple original vanilla potc and it was very interesting expirience after the years of playing the New horizons. Funny but I thought it would be nice to make a small mod that apples shooting particles, boarding lanterns at night, new water reflections to the old vanilla POTC. Could you think about that?

1. Click "Read more..." and actually READ the "License Agreement".
2. Good.
3. LONG story. Even *I* do not fully now the answer.
Once upon a time, there was a person who called himself "Maximus".
There was a second person (read: pirate) named "Konrad K".
That is where the story starts. I think...?

Hey, I installed the mod and it loads up fine, however when I go to start a new game it will load for a few minutes and then go back to the main menu and not load the game

when I install it, it downloads directly to a file in downloads, then I move it to the new file I created. But there is no 'exe' popping up so idk how to apply the download to the game. when I open it it tells me I have to buy a subscription to a file viewing app, the other one wont let me because its not in the microsoft store. what am I missing?
