Need Help FindIslandByLocation ERROR: Please post your compile.log file at piratesahoy.net!

[Fresh]

There's Nothing in the Compile.Log mentioning this error.

Any clue?

Any clue?

Something MUST have been written to compile.log; at the very least the same line you saw on the screen.

Based on your other thread, Installed mod but no text?, my first thought is that you may have an erroneous installation...
Please make sure you follow the installation instructions and avoid the game's default "Program Files" folder at any and all costs.

Possibly, i needed to download the new patch, after that it fixed it.

 

[NattRamN]

help me please. Set the game, but when the game starts, a black screen appears and
FindIslandByLocation ERROR.

Hi there and welcome to the forum.

I don't know how you installed the modpack, but something definitely went wrong.
Please make sure you follow these installation instructions:

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Install the stock PotC and make sure it runs OK
2. Create a folder anywhere, such as in "Downloads"
3. Download Part 1 (this file is DIFFERENT from the one on ModDB!) and Part 2 and put them in that folder
4. In that folder, click on the EXE
5. Browse to your PotC install. Point the installer there
6. Choose the options you want when asked
7. Extract this file by @Grey Roger on top: http://piratesahoy.bowengames.com/potc/Grey Roger/post_jan7_fixes.zip
8. Play!

CRUCIAL INSTALLATION TIPS:
1. You MUST install this on top of the unmodified stock game
Pirates of the Caribbean, released in 2003 by Akella.
The mod is NOT a standalone game!

- DON'T install the game to Program Files,
otherwise Windows prevents it from installing correctly
Install to, for example, C:\Games\Pirates of the Caribbean

You are using a very old version of the game. You can find links to the current version of Build 14 here:

[Grey Roger]

How did you combine "b14_beta4_final.tar" with the original game?

 

[PirateRockin]

First i installed Pirates of the Caribbean 2003 Original by Akella then i opened b14_beta4_final.tar i am using with Winrar and i just opened b14 then i selected all the folders and i moved them in Pirates of the Caribbean 2003, that's how i combined and i replaced all the files from original potc 2003 with the ones from b14
