    A somewhat different modding idea...

    I have replaced all of the tracks with music from "Cutthroat Island" .... I'm also thinking about mixing in some "Sea Dogs" music (thanks to the download in the library), and probably some "POTC" (the movie, since I think the `in-game` music is not all that great). Using the music_alias.ini...

    Transparent Crosshair

    Hey Catalina ... I use Photoshop 7. I do image editing as part of my job, but I've never done much with game textures before. However, that crosshair was bugging me enough to want to do something about it. I'll continue fiddling. I am thinking about replacing the texture entirely with something...

    Is POTC now worth buying?

    Way ahead of you Pixasox :g1 I agree with your very compelling and `well-worded` post. The first time I set sail, I couldn't believe how much it gave me a "you are there" feeling .... the ocean graphics are phenomenal. I'm thinking about putting a fan on my desk that blows across a bowl of salt...

    Transparent Crosshair

    Hi, all. I'm a newbie to POTC. So far, I love the ocean graphics, but it kind of spoils it to have that big, dark crosshair in the center of the screen. In an attempt to rectify this, I mucked around with the textures and came up with a version that reduces contrast in the alpha in order to...

    Is POTC now worth buying?

    Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. My wife managed to find POTC for me today, and I've got it and the build installed and `up-and`-running. I fiddled around for a bit and took my ship out to sea. I can't believe how pretty the ocean graphics are in this game. Very immersive! The build...

    Pirates 2004 - The Graphics.

    Looking at the screenshots, I actually like these graphics. It's hard to judge not seeing stuff in motion, but this appears to be a game that has a bit of art design and character behind it. Until PC games can actually be `photo-realistic`, there is something to be a said for a game that has a...

    Is POTC now worth buying?

    :cat Thanks, Catalina. I was looking at the forums but was having a hard time geting a sense of whether the mods made the game bearable, or if it was really now cool and fun. Nevertheless, I'm sold, and I'll head out tommorow to see if I can locate a copy. it's great to see a mod community...

    Is POTC now worth buying?

    I happened across this site and noticed that there is a community mod for POTC that seems pretty extensive. I downloaded it and looked at the readme and it looks interesting, of course, but it's hard to get a sense of POTC gameplay since I don't yet have the game. I'm a big fan of `sailing-age`...
