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.

<b>Q3:</b> The RunMe.bat file is giving \"file not found\" error messages. What\'s wrong?
<b>A3:</b> Usually when it gives an error message about missing files, it means the files it was trying to move are already where they needed to be or the files it wanted to remove were already not there. So that\'s nothing to worry about.
<b>Q4:</b>
I start the game, the \'Storm Engine 2\' Box loads up and starts to load all the modules, then the game loads for a split second. I hear a noise like the beginning of a video, then the game just hangs. I have to Alt+Ctrl+Del to get out of the game if its not windowed.
<b>A4:</b> fix the problem by uninstalling CCCP Codecs with FFDShow. Now the game starts up fine.
<b>Q5:</b> is there a way i can play as barbossa in build mod 13?
<b>A5a:</b> yeah, go \"Pirates of the caribbean/PROGRAM and edit InternalSettings.h\"
There you\'ll see: // Character Selection Options. to play as barbossa, change one of the selction options to pirate10.
<b>A5b:</b> buy the outfit at a pirate tailor shop and put the outfit on.
