    Guide Tips & Tricks for Playing the Game

    Hi, first i'd just like to say that I am very impressed with the game and the improvements that have been made since last I played (I think back in early 2012?). I've been having a frustrating time with national relations though and i'm not sure how they work. From what I can tell you start off...

    Treasure Trove of Model Ships: Preble Hall Annapolis

    If you're still in the area, the pinnace Kalmar Nyckel was in my town in Southern MD not long ago and should be traveling around as it makes its way up north to Delaware. Annapolis is one of the USA's former capitals back when DC was still a swamp, and is the current location of the US Naval...

    Joke thread

    The day after his wife disappeared in a boating accident, an Ocean City man answered his door to find two grim-faced Maryland State Troopers. "We're sorry Mr. Rice, but we have some information about your wife," said one trooper. "Tell me! Tell me! Did you find her?" Rice shouted. "We have...

    Starting Randomly

    I'm making a free play storyline for myself, with no quests, just starting out with a dinghy and a small sack of gold. So far it's been fun but I would really like it if I can somehow start out in a random location. I've been trying to see if dying immediately does something but no matter how I...

    POTBS big waste of time

    I play POTBS now simply because my dumb intel graphics laptop can't handle the Build Mod so I can only play it when I come come every once in a while. The economy is nice, so is the boarding/land combat with all sorts of different styles, moves, and focuses. I think that Build Mod is honestly...

    Solved How to change Flags settings

    I would be against making merchants and naval vessels fly the same flag. They're very useful for identification.

    Some questions, possible problems, suggestions.

    Some more questions, this time about relations: When ships surrender, do that change national relations like sinking/boarding them does? Also I was confused by something. I was playing as an officer in the British navy, and I attacked some ships, taking a french merchant and an american...

    Released The Empress finally arrives!

    I wonder how she should sail? I've heard junks are a bit different then your conventional rig.

    Reassigning numpad controls.

    How can I reassign the numpad controls (steam ship, cheat mode)? My laptop has no numpad or any way to activate one short of plugging in another keyboard, so controlling steamships or experimenting in cheat mode will be hard.

    Conversion Request

    Really? I wouldn't know, having only seen the film replica in the film, never in real life (wrong side of the country).

    Conversion Request

    Yes, however it is the film version of the HMS Surprise, which is a modified replica of the HMS Rose. I have several resources on M&C ships that someone could use but no modelling skills or programs unfortunately. The film's Surprise is very close in the overall look of the boat, just...

    Raa frigate

    I've been sailing her in POTC, and shes a fine ship but I must say the sails look a bit oddly proportioned. The foresail and mainsail appear to be rather thin and the foretopsail and maintopsail seem a bit wide. The sails seem oddly tapered in and the topsails tapered out and too short.

    Mod Release New PotC Movie Music Pack!

    I quite like the music pack, i'm using it now. My only recommendation would be to change whatever music plays when sailing or switching to map view. As it's very short, and when I use direct-sail to get between islands it keeps playing over and over again. Great work though!

    installing

    I ended up just manually moving the texture files to the right place, that worked. Edit 3/1/12 Ok, so something is definitely weird here: Shortly after I fixed this problem, the aging machine I was using decided to go off and decide Windows XP was dead. So I bought Windows 7 and put it on that...

    installing

    I messed up the install, so the game is actually my Games directory. I meant to install it as C:Games/Bethesda Softworks/Pirates of the Carribean but I somehow managed to put it in C:Games, without those subfolders, so when opening up Games there is no POTC folder, it just goes straight to...

    installing

    I re-installed and it's still there, so either my installer didn't download right or my computer is just stupid.

    installing

    It seems only "Sea" and "Battle" loading screens use the stock image now. Capsizing seems to be working fine now too.

    installing

    I got error messages too until I realized that for some reason the RunMe batch wasn't finding the right directories. I restarted and ran RunMe and the game worked fine. It appears that Stock POTC loading images are in my game for some reason. Was capsize mod removed? I hit a storm but didn't...

    Some questions, possible problems, suggestions.

    I've been playing POTC for a long time now and still haven't figured out how to capture a town... how do I do that? Sailing up and bombarding forts has not been successful, but maybe i'm not doing it long enough?
