    Just when we thought Akella wasn't producing anymore...

    Looks like they're just building Pirates Odyssey with the same engine as CoaS and the predecessor. Would've liked to see them go with something that could support modern shaders and effects, because the video looks quite weak right now. Still, for those of us who fancy a piratin', it's better...

    What mods, how to etc...

    For the first time in 20+ hours of playing the game it rained -- while I was at a town -- and it looked awesome! For some reason, it's really rare to get rain/intense rain in the game unless you land at a port after sailing through a storm (in the same area, mind). Does anyone know if there...

    Serious Modding Effort

    I was wondering if Maya's polygon smoothing feature would work with the existing models in the game, but since I have an incompatible version I can't test it. Essentially the bone structure and such would be intact, it just adds more polys to smooth out the rougher edges of the mesh, resulting...

    Mod Ideas

    Officers completely loyal to you will also shoot you. It's actually a flaw in the design where the npcs fire at the nearest thing to them almost like an auto-target. I've noticed this with enemies as well. If you get a pile of skeletons in a tiny hall, the ones in the back will repeatedly...

    Mod Ideas

    Mutinies seem to involve x crew (not officers) vs you, from what I've encountered. I don't remember seeing any officers loyal to me at that point, but I may have just had bad luck.

    Serious Modding Effort

    I've been slowly, SLOWLY editing the conversation files to be more piratey. So far I've made the smugglers sound like pirates and the whores sound more like whores. I even changed the 'shark' story so it doesn't sound so stupid and her reasons for turning you down make more sense. I've run...

    Mod Ideas

    I think for the more neutral reputation characters this should be a possibility, but for the evil ones I don't think your good character should necessarily make them see the light. Perhaps after they are aboard awhile the severely opposite reputation crew could cause a mutiny sequence where you...

    [HELP] Can't get the GM exporter to work in Maya 9

    I've been working with some of the models in Maya 9 by exporting them to .obj in the GM Viewer but unfortunately the GM export utility doesn't appear to be working in my version. Every time I try to export a model I only get the default maya types even though I've correctly extracted the...

    No food in stores= game end?

    If this happens then open the debug panel and enable the 'no rats and food' setting. It makes the rats go away and your crew doesn't need food anymore.

    Game difficulty - we ALL are actually playing on "easy"

    I do think that random enemies become easier once your skill improves and you get better weapons, but shouldn't it be that way? I mean, most of the characters you encounter are simply random thugs in the jungle or crew when you board a ship. I don't think it's realistic in the least that...

    Quest Dialogue Improvement

    I actually started 'piratifying' the game, removing the modern lingo and replacing it with proper piratey talk. It's a shame that you can't seem to modify dialogs beyond changing the actual text, though. It would be nice to add more dialog options and branches, but you work with what you have!

    [REL] CoAS Hardcore Edition 1.2.3

    You may still have problems with the russian mod just with the textures and models. I get intermittent crashes when I open chests/bodies when I have it enabled, telling me that there could be one or more item textures that don't work right.

    Rags mod plus Rags model for Blood

    I was thinking more along the lines of just reskinning the face to look like the main character. I haven't done modelling in ages <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />.

    Rags mod plus Rags model for Blood

    Very interesting! I wonder, though, if the models have similar enough shaped faces that one could easily adapt the face of one character to another model, like a governor model for nobel? I may just try it.

    New Textures successful!!!

    I've applied all the models and textures to an existing game and they all show up. This should be perfectly safe since it's only changing what the objects 'look like' rather than their filenames or behaviors. I've also done this with my own module and never had stability issues, though I do...

    game cheats badly

    I think your points are valid, just remember at whom you should be directing your frustration. No one moderating/posting actively here that I'm aware of works for seaward or Akella, so directing your anger our way is just going to make enemies for no good reason. I am displeased about several...

    stuck at enchanted city quest

    The problem I'm having is when I land at the Mosquito Shore, a guy runs up to me with absolutely no dialog, so I stare at an empty text window for a minute and then the game crashes with a dialog.dll error.. It seems I need to find where this dialog should be in a text file and add it myself.

    Your Preferred Jack Sparrow Model

    I notice none of the images seem to be working, Pieter. Is there a way I can see these Jack Sparrow skins without downloading them first? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    Losing crew in boarding battles

    I think a certain amount of fighting is done before the actual boarding starts. The computer tallies up enough losses on both sides so, regardless of crew count, it only has to spawn a certain amount of npcs. This is just speculation, but it's based on a fight I had where I had over 100 men...

    New Textures successful!!!

    I've been noticing some rather inconvenient random crashes since I added the resource and texture folders of the hardcore mod to my game. Notably, it crashes after I open a chest or search a body, leading me to the conclusion that some of the new texture graphics aren't very stable.
