Pirates of the Caribbean: Build Mod 13
Pirates of the Caribbean mod | Released Oct 30, 2007

RECENT VERSION: BUILD 13 FINAL
Pirates of the Caribbean is a very nice pirate Role Playing Game for PC. Although the game was far from great, it was certainly good fun, apart from the bugs. Fortunately for the players, the game could easily be modified and that is how the Build modpack began. The Build contained all good mods joined into one package for easy installation. I started messing around with modding after Build 12 was released. I made a couple of small mods myself and added all mods that other people made into what soon became a major add-on for Build 12. Finally, two years after the release of Build 12, this modpack has been released as Build 13, introducing many new bugfixes, features, mods, character models, locations, items and yet again enhancing the game quite a lot.
Build 13 Final is the final full installation version for Build 13. Work is in progress on Build 14, for which several Alpha versions are available for public testing here. Please note that these versions are not completely stable and contain several bugs, ranging from not so bad to gamekilling. Build 13 is recommended for those who just want to play the game. Only get the Build 14 Alpha versions when you want to work as an alpha tester for the modding team.
Please ensure that you back up your base install of PotC as re-installing the game takes longer and is not necessary.
It is also a good idea to back up for each build as the update process has been known to go wrong in cases.

Some of you may have already noticed, but we would like to formally announce that....
proudly presents:
OK, so the preliminary cover art needs some work. Let's try that again, shall we?
The PiratesAhoy! Community proudly presents:
This game is being developed to be the pirate and historical seafaring game to end them all. Realistic yet fun gameplay on land and at sea allowing both extensive free play and exciting scripted storylines should ensure that anyone with any interest in the Age of Sail should be able to live their dream!
Now the above may sound a bit vague. Therefore, we recommend you to have a look here:
At a Glance: First Game Concept

So what game is this mod for?
lol.. basically it transforms the game by making it work better. It adds a lot of desirable features from other pirate games such as Age Of Sail and Sid Meire's Pirates!. It adds new textures, new music, new sound effects and improves the stability of the engine (well... till Alpha 14.7 anyway :D lol) it adds new quests and allows you to walk around on ship decks.
Bethesda and Akella did a terrible job on the inital game and the Build Mod really fixes the mistakes they made. It is an essential mod for anyone that has bought this game (and most likely hated it) because it makes the game significantly more enjoyable.
Basically it makes the game actually playable and one of the best pirate games around.
ok i got it working.....thanks
Yeah, I had it turned on before I put in 14A7 and the A7_FIX. Since I can't get in to disable it easily, is there a file I might be able to edit to fix this?
I suggest you go to
Piratesahoy.com
and let them know that.
Have you got the secondary interface on? that could be the reason because its been known to crash. If you can turn the original interface back on as that doesn't cause a crash.
If this doesn't fix your problem use the link above and talk with the team.
Downloads should now be up and running from ModDB. You'll be able to get every version up to Build 14 Alpha 7 which is experimental at present and shouldn't be used, instead use Build 14 Alpha 6 as it is stable. I will add the bug fix when it becomes available.
The team already knows about the boardings. I'm guessing they'll fix it in 14.8
I finally got it to work. However, I noticed that your menu is bugged when trying to enter the "OPTIONS" panel. It will simply crash you to desktop with the message: "ENGINE.exe has encountered an error and needs to close." I think it might have something to do with the 14A7 patch.
lol.. The idea is to do what ever you think is fun. The game doesn't care what you do :D (but keep in mind that you can get on people's bad sides :D) Check your quest book for instructions too.
