Solved Engine crash and something amiss

[Black "Sam" Bellamy]

yeah some buildings or cannons would just be grey colored

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Yah. That's what you get when some things like textures never get installed and you try to play the game anyway. No textures = grey items.

how do u activate cheats and what r the cheats and is there a god mode like on AOP 2 and do i download beta 3 wip 12

 

[Black "Sam" Bellamy]

never mind i figured it out how to cheat but do i need to download the beta 3 wip 12

 

[Black "Sam" Bellamy]

now the cheats don't work so im trying to figure out what happened

 

[DavyJack]

it's best you re-install the whole thing mate. you'll continue experiencing troubles if files are missing. I had experienced those things with even worse scenarios but I re-installed and it run well. just give it a try
follow the steps i posted. and it's up to you if you want to install the wip: Beta 3 WIP 12

now the cheats don't work so im trying to figure out what happened

Make sure NumLock on your keyboard is ON for them.

And indeed if you see missing textures, something went wrong again.

 

[Black "Sam" Bellamy]

Fixed now thanks

 

[Black "Sam" Bellamy]

im not sure i extracted the wip 16 right cause now i have 2 game launchers one is the regular build 14 launcher and the other iss the launcher for build mod 13

 

[Pieter Boelen]

How is that even possible? They're ALL called ENGINE.exe . The one should have overwritten the other.
And what is the Build 13 one doing there anyway? You shouldn't need that at all.

 

[Black "Sam" Bellamy]

im not sure the game is still the same like it was for the 2.5 mod

 

[Black "Sam" Bellamy]

How do i extract it to the original

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Delete your POTC folder and start all over again. That is how you get back to original.

 

[Black "Sam" Bellamy]

i mean how do you extract the wip 16 mod to POTC

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Install up to Build 14 Beta 2.5 first:

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!
2. You MUST install Build 14 Beta 2.1 Full first!!!
3. Allow the installer to run RunMe.bat upon completion
- 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

If that works, you can go for the next step.

How do you change flags I'm doing the Jack sparrow quest to sink volcano and I can't switch flags to French flags.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Which modpack version are you using? The Nations Relations interface was recently overhauled.
In any case, you cannot switch while you are "in the danger zone".

 

[DavyJack]

I re-extract wip 16 and this happen:

I added these(from http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/build-14-beta-3-progress.20686/):
Tradebook.zip
fix.7z(by Cassadar regarding Blackbeard's head)
new-pennants.7z

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Looks like an erroneous install. Never saw that error before. Have you SEEN the line where it gets into trouble? Isn't that a file you modded? Perhaps that is where the problem comes from.

 

[DavyJack]

yes. figured it out.
