Solved Installing build 14 beta 4

[Pieter Boelen]

Does it matter where it’s at and what type of document it is?

It needs to be exactly "readme.txt" right next to "ENGINE.exe".
Usually in Windows, you can right click in a folder, press 'create new' and then choose 'text file'.

 

[Pirate_Lord]

So it doesn’t have to be with the other files?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

So it doesn’t have to be with the other files?

What other files?
It definitely needs to be with the main game executable.

 

[Pirate_Lord]

Ok that’s what I thought. I meant the actual game

 

[Pirate_Lord]

So do I need to make a new file and copy the main game over then put the readme.txt and ENGINE.exe?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Engine should already be there.
Just put the readme next to it.

 

[Pirate_Lord]

Ok. And is that all it is or is there anything else I need to do if that doesn’t work?

 

[Pirate_Lord]

Thank you for the fast responses btw.

If that doesn't work, check your private messages.

Thank you for the fast responses btw.

It's going to slow down soon.
Getting late here.

 

[Pirate_Lord]

I did that. it still isn't working

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I did that. it still isn't working

I don't recognize ANY of those files.
Are you sure you've got the right game?
It should look something like this:

Whatever it is you've got there, you'll have to run that "Setup.exe" first to get the base game up and running.
But for all I know, you might have Sid Meier's Pirates! there or something.

 

[Pirate_Lord]

this is what the box is. I can also send the discs too.

 

[Pirate_Lord]

Then there’s the possibility I could also be dumb enough I’m trying to get this mod for a game it’s not meant for.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

It's the correct box.
Run that Setup.exe then.
See if you can get the game running without the mod first.

When it asks where to install, type C:\Games\Pirates of the Caribbean .
Then once the base game works, install the mod to that same folder.

 

[Pirate_Lord]

I can just get the stock potc from the mega link you put in if you think that would be easier

 

[Pirate_Lord]

Ok. I got it to this point now.

 

[Pirate_Lord]

How do I do this?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Progress.

That message means you have to place that 2 GB file next to the modpack installer.
Make sure it has the exact filename mentioned.

 

[Pirate_Lord]

So the modpack installer is the file with the mod correct?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

The mod is two files that you downloaded.
One is an executable (.EXE).
The other an archive (.TAR).
You need both.
