This topic will explain how to install a build from stock game. But <b>FIRST</b> uninstall the POTC game then go back to your root folder ...\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean and delete the rest of the file that the uninstaller forgot. "Select the rest of the file and folder then hold Shift then press delete(Shift+delete) a confirmation window will pop up click yes".(This will delete all files directly they won't go in the recycling bin.) Now...

THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD INSTALL THEM, THEY ALL WORK SINCE I TEST IT MYSELF, HOWEVER FOR BUILD 14 ALPHA 8 WIP 1 IT'S TRICKY TO INSTALL IT AND DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFO RIGHT NOW I WILL ADD THEM LATER ONCE I GET THEM.

WARNING THE WORD <b>ALPHA</b> MEANS <b>TESTING</b> IN OTHER WORDS ALL <b>ALPHA</b> ARE STILL BEEN TESTED AND YOU MAY ENCOUNTER <b>BUGS</b>, DON'T BE FRUSTRATED IF YOU BEEN PLAYING THE GAME FOR 20HRS THEN <b>'BOOM'</b> CAN'T PLAY ANYMORE BECAUSE OF A BUG. THE MOST STABLE VERSION RIGHT NOW IS <b>BUILD 13 FINAL</b>(RARELY BUG) AFTER THAT IT WILL BE <b>BUILD 14 ALPHA 6</b>(BUT IT'S STILL BUGGY). ALPHA 7 AND 8 ARE FOR MODELER ONLY BOTH BUILD ARE VERY UNSTABLE RIGHT NOW.

Thanks for doing this. Of course I already did add installation instructions to my site, but better ones are always welcome. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
I stickied this thread now and perhaps Morgan Terror can add a link to it in his FAQ.
 
Thx Pieter,

question!!
i downloaded build 13 Final from the hperlink (via mirror 1) and it is successfully installed. in the Buildinfo document i have this:

Build Version: Wednesday 7 February 2007
Build 13 Full - Update 3


is this in fact, build 13 Final?
thanks for the clarification.
next up is to install filmships and directsail mods.
i have tried to read up on these installs. any tricks or traps to be aware of?
thanks!
brian
 
As my signature says: <i>Build 13 Final = Build 13 Full + Update 3 = Pre Build 13 Base + Build 13 Update 3 Full</i>
So, yes, Build 13 Full - Update 3 is the same as Build 13 Final. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

I'll leave again end July to return half January, so I'll be gone for a while.
 
Hi, I'm new to this. Hi hi hi etc. But the point is that im a noob in this and ive got a problem, wich is probably easy to solve, but not for me.

I have the "stock" version of this game, and its runnig well. (never crashes or something, just 1 in 100). But it became boring after having 4 battleships. So I downloaded both mods (13 full & 14alpha8).

First i unpacked all stuff etc, and followed the instructions loosely. Didnt work, so I deleted and uninstalled the whole thing, and installed the stock game, wich worked again. Then put 13 full on it. (100% according to the instructions) but didnt work.

So i dont know how to go on (with this game)

Things that could mess my game up (i think):
-Wich .exe should i use? Normal or the included?
-Dont knowing where to extract to.
-My shitty PC.
-The fact that the PC makes a folder in the stock folder?

BTW: i can play the stock game, but when i use the mod included launcher/.exe i get the following error report:

Microsoft Visual++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!
Program: D:\PoTC\ENGINE.exe

Abnormal program termination

Thats it.
Im dutch, so dutch help and explanation would be appreciated, but everything is fine (german, dutch, french(?), english)
 
If you follow the instructions provided in the Build 13 Final installer, it should work fine.
Just stick with Build 13 Final for now.
If that doesn't work, try Build 12.1 instead.
Make sure you start installing on an unmodified version of the game.
 
Crucial info for people On Vista install the stock game to a different folder then program files.
i use C:\Games\Pirates of the Caribbean
 
Now that we have the <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=13163" target="_blank">Build Mod Files, Downloads and Installation Instructions</a> thread, I think we can unsticky this one.
