<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> lads, I just downloaded Build 14 A6, B14A7, Vandeckern's Dutchman, and Mapships V2.
I haven't looked at the ship or mapships yet, but I did install both alphas this morning. I followed all the instructions on Peiter's page and the game wouldn't even start. It would give me the "Abnormal program termination" popup and shut off.
Luckily, I have an error report, but I don't know what to make of it.

well, from the error log, i'd think that a soundfile is missing. but you don't need sound files to start the game. that's doesn't make any sense at all. could you post a screenshot of the error screen? that would at least rule out one possible cause.
 
I've uploaded a screenshot. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Hope it helps.

I looked in my backup files and couldn't find a file called "sound.h"... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Everything else is ok according to the error log.

EDIT: There was a file called SOUND in my backup PROGRAM folder... that could be it because it wasn't in my actual folder... I'm going to give it a shot.

EDIT2: Same pop up and same error log. So I don't know... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
I went into globals.c and checked line 1.
The text there was

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->#include "Sound\sound.h"<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

I changed it to <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->#include "sound.h"<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

Now the game works! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> Might want to pass this on to the "Admiralty". Would Pieter be the one to contact?

When you released that fix and i used the previous sound.h that fixed it
 
You need to contact Pirate_KK. I know nothing about it.

BTW: Mapships V2 is already included in Alpha 6.
 
Same thing for me.
I have the following error even after that i have installed the Fix build 14a7.

And something weird, i can't find log files into directory pirates of the carribean... Doesn't it supposed to be into the first directory?
 
Hi, I have the same problem too, I have done a fresh cd install, installed build12, ran ok then installed base13 ran ok, installed Build 13 Update 3 it crashed up on start up, I did a fresh install od the cd and reinstalled the updates left out update3 and installedB14_ALPHA6 and the same thing just crashed on start up Any fixes?

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />  I only play up to 14/6, /7 has a lot of bugs and so called "fixes", good Idea to stay
clear of! Most stable is 13/3 ! If you have that feeling I must try this use the Mod Enabler.
This program installs the mods and takes 'em out again if problems like Engine errors happen! Link is in my signature <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />
 
I haven't been around here in a while for the same reason of this post. I can run build 13 with update 3 and the game seems to work - ok. I did notice that when I tryed to add a musicpack and mapships the game would still run but with no change to music and mapships. Kinda strange?? Anyway, I do have a new comp and it does have Vi$ta, on my old comp I was able to get build 14-6 to work so I THINK I know how to install the mods properly, but I could be doing something wrong. I did try to change the SOUND file noted above but it had no effect. If anyone has any suggestions or has the time to help I would be greatful.

dell 410
vista 32bit
2x 2.4 gig intel
320 gig hd
2 gig mem
GForce7900

I think thats it.

Thanks
