    We Have the Storm Engine!

    Sad it takes news of this magnitude to pull a lurker such as myself out of seclusion but wow... What news! Congratulations and well done. If I were a beting man I wouldn't have backed this horse. In terms of the engine dispute, what are the differences between the games in terms of specs? For...

    Picture request - HMS Speedy

    Hey Seb I've actually used all of those sources already during the build. The Sailpower one especially was interesting... The game looks kinda cool. I think I'll have to use the Sailpower detailing. I wanted to check using the Geoff Hunt pic but I'll get by. Thanks guys

    Picture request - HMS Speedy

    I'm currently building the HMS Speedy prior to conversion into the HMS Sophie for the Master and Commander questline. I'm building an accurate model of the speedy first (two ships for the price of one... and a half) and need as much source material of the deck as I can get. Does anyone have a...

    Freeplay

    The kind of blank start that Captain Maggee suggests would be great. Would it be possible to allow that and also remove the option to change it for storylines to prevent messing them up? Regarding the the M&C storyline, I was halfway through modelling the HMS Sophie before my computer packed up...

    Freeplay

    I've been playing the mod loads of late so firstly a bucket of kudos for all involved. My only gripe (I've gotten over my swordfighting phobia) is the lack of a freeplay option. I'm working my way through the storylines and am currently enjoying the Hornblower one but I like the option to have...

    I just realised why I stopped playing this game the last time...

    Blast... Is there a section of code which controls the tailor shop inventory and is it possible to modify this?

    I just realised why I stopped playing this game the last time...

    I know it's not hard, I play a lot of Mount and Blade so timing-based combat isn't usually a problem for me. I think the biggest problem is the pressure of having to win after an epic navel battle where I'm very aware one mistake could mean having to do it over again... Basically, I'm a bit...

    I just realised why I stopped playing this game the last time...

    ...Because the swordfighting is abysmal. I have quit the game several times now out of utter frustration. I spend half an hour in pitched ship combat and get my enemies to surrender. Than I board, their Captain for some reason wants to clash swords dispite having raised the white flag, I whip...

    Landfall/Ship fast travel problem 14-9.5

    I have the experimental mod pack so I think it's as you say Cpt Maggee. Once I found a port the option to sail to it became available. Thanks guys. It be plundering time.

    Landfall/Ship fast travel problem 14-9.5

    Hi all. I used to play the build mod a few years back and after a long hiatus have just found my way back here. I've just installed B14 A9.5 and have tried to start a few new games but keep encountering problems. For some reason when I am in coastal waters I get no option to fastsail to the...

    HMS Sophie W.I.P

    Glad you like the pump Peiter. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I was pleased with how it came out. And it's roughly the same amount of polys as a cannon to-boot!

    HMS Sophie W.I.P

    Here are some new pics featuring deck clutter and detail. Just a bit more detailing and trimming (and cutting our the cannon ports) left until she's finished. She's a little heavy atm, just under 20k polys with all parts (inc cannons) taken into account. Should be able to reduce it quite a bit...

    monthly salary in Build Mod...

    Surely it's possible to make an area for your estate full of all the (physical) buildings we can think of and merely 'blink' them on as the player invests in these upgrades? ...It all would need a coder though <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"...

    New Location-specific Loading Screens

    Nope, I'm using 14.6r2. Strange. 13 crashes all the time on my comp, but this version is a stable as can be.
