    New to the game and forum!

    Ahoy Vampirate, welcome to the forum. >> I'd like to know how do you travel to other countries? do you mean sailing to other islands? That's easy. When you are in 'sea' mode (the 3d tactical screen) hit the return key to open the ship menu. From the menu bar select the compass icon. That...

    Diary of an unanswered question

    Yep! I found it. ...\Playlogic\Age of Pirates 2\Program\characters\RPGUtilite.c look for the initNewMainCharacter() function then insert "ch.reputation = 10;" somewhere inside (see below in the code snippet where I placed the new line of code). This'll make all starting characters Bloody...

    Diary of an unanswered question

    Ah, I should have read your post more slowly (that's the side-effect when multi-tasking). You mean the starting characters. Hang on, I'm still at work but will check that. I think I saw something in the program code about inital settings and stuff....

    Diary of an unanswered question

    1. well, that would require coding during career init. It would mean having one or several companion(s) attached. I guess that's doable. But in terms of game balancing I have doubts. You'd require more money to pay the companion. And money is a problem in the beginning. Think of the additional...

    COAS Mod ReleaseCOASLoyaltyMod.zip

    Hi Nspree, and sorry for the late reply. I was on holiday. I will try to help you. I'm sure, that your Italian version should not be a problem. I'm guessing that the officers.c file should be the same for any language version of COAS. Questions: 1. Did you install the Mod in the right place...

    Reducing ship upkeep

    sounds like cheating to me :(o) I don't see much use for it, since after a few ranks you'll be swimming in piasters. And I think those poor sailors, who risk their necks for your greed, deserve their monthly wages. I understand that it is difficult in the beginning. I've had that problem...

    COAS Mod ReleaseCOASLoyaltyMod.zip

    Cool :whee Thank you for testing this. That's the spirit! That's what I like about this community. There are always helping hands, eyes and ears to be found here. Perhaps, bad ass Pirates aren't such bad folks after all :wink: Long live the Brotherhood of the Coast :cat

    COAS Mod ReleaseCOASLoyaltyMod.zip

    Thanks for the hint Pieter. WinMerge, Notepad++ and so forth are a must for tweaking this game. Off-topic: I hope the Dutch win the WC 2010 tonight :gday

    COAS Mod ReleaseCOASLoyaltyMod.zip

    It's not included in 3.1.5. And I'm not sure if it is compatible. I need to take a look at that sometimes (I'm a bit on a tight run). Perhaps you can check that as well. Scan the files contained in CMV 3.1.5. Is there a officers.c file included? If so, it likely isn't compatible and would...

    COAS Mod ReleaseCOASLoyaltyMod.zip

    Thanks FireBat, that's an honour :-) I was glad to help. Alas, I got a tough job at the moment and can't spare much time for COAS (sniff). I'd like to provide much more bugfixes and stuff. Hope I find some time soon. And I will definitely take a look at CMv3.2 :keith

    COAS Mod ReleaseCOASLoyaltyMod.zip

    Thanks :) It definitely wasn't your playing style. I've had the same problem and started digging. No matter if you were a good or bad guy, those buggers lost loyalty. The quest officers somehow seem to miss the attribute 'alignment' (good or bad). That caused the loyalty check to always drop...

    Austin quest

    I think the JSComined Mods v1.9 solves this problem as well as other bugs. I have this Mod collection installed and the Austin quest worked well. You can find the latest JSCombined Mods in the sticky Mini Mods thread. Believe me, you'll enjoy the game mucht more with those Mods installed. And...

    Gun fall out

    In some older post I read, that your guns do age. The more you use'em in battle with an inexperienced crew and gunnery officer, the faster they go kaputt. I think this is also written somewhere in the manual. Now there is a trick. When not in battle, you can remove all guns, then install them...

    Playing with house rules

    My house rules.... I don't have many. After a successful mission or an arduous journey (which involves storms, attacks, you name it) I buy lots of rum barrels for the crew and double the rum rations (with the brilliant rum management Mod contained in JSCombined Mods). I also give the crew...
