Please help with installation

[badthechadass]

I know the order to install the modpacks, but I can't find where to download some of them, such as build 13 update 1 & 2. Whenever I try to install update 3 at the black copying screen it says it can't find the path for the files to go so I don't think update 3 is doing anything.

You don't need update 1 and 2. Just install Build 13 + Update 3 and you're all set. Make sure the installation paths are all exactly the same.

I forgot to mention: I think that with "black copying screen" you mean RunMe.bat. If it says it can't find a file, that probably is because the file is already moved to the proper folder. It's nothing to worry about. To check if Update 3 was installed correctly and effectively, start the game and check if it says "13.0 Update 3" in the lower left corner of the screen. If it does, Update 3 was installed correctly.

Thanks, how do I install 14a6 on top of that? Also, why does the smoke from the cannons turn green after it drifts?

Make sure you follow the instructions Pieter has on his site!!
14/6 ad. is a bugfix! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

See the very bottom of the Build 14 Alpha page on my website:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec--><!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><i><b>Additional</b></i><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
Build 14 Alpha 6 Additional contains two mods that are either completely untested or don't work properly at all yet!

<b>Improved Blockdamage</b> - By Pieter Boelen
Blockdamage depends on enemy character rank
Reason for leaving it out: It doesn't work properly yet

<b>Max Skill Increase </b> - By Pieter Boelen
Items can only increase your skill points to this amount
Reason for leaving it out: 100% untested<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

.........Hope I don't forget!!?? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Thanks for the replies guys, but I've into yet another problem. I had it updated to 13/3. Then I installed 14/6 (when I run the preset.bat, something just flashes and closes, I wasn't to sure about that)

It says on the main menu that it's 14/6 but as soon as I load a new game the screen is black, not frozen I can still go to my menus. But it's black on gameplay.

To Nosie: That would be most appreciated. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

To badthechadass: Sounds to me like something went wrong when installing. Once you have Build 13 working properly, be sure to follow the EXACT installation instructions from my site for Build 14 Alpha 6. You MUST run RunMe.bat afterwards.
