    Mod Release Expanding the variety of NPCs: First crew done!

    Edit Sept. 14, 2015: Here's the first set of new boarding crew members, nine new pirates. It's called A Buttload of Buccaneers. Installation is part drag and drop and part manual file editing, to be compatible with whichever mod you already use. Contains a readme that details installation...

    Finished (?) Henry Morgan questline - what now?

    I had to start a new topic because I've been chasing information scattered across too many different threads, and it's not in the nice walkthru pdf. So I did all of Henry Morgan's chores - killed Law, captured the gem-filled ship, etc., and then helped him sack Portobello and Panama. As I...

    Brand new laptop can't run PotC?

    The game still works fine on my creaky old desktop (after trying some other games I felt like seeing what was new in the build - flattered that my Capn' Hook skin is one of the starting character options), but it will not play on my brand new laptop. I thought at first it was just some fault of...

    Giant explorable ship guts

    After seeing the three new decks designed for the A&M Mod, which are utterly superb, and after Pieter reminded me of the old project, I wanted to give another go at linking all areas of a ship (larder, gunroom, galley, etc.) to have one big playground environment. Problem is I am still stuck...

    Fleshing out Blaze/Nate's origins

    So what I am looking at the feasibility of doing is making a little scenario to flesh out Blaze/Nate's origin... he's always felt like such a 2D character, but there's potential and I have some ideas. But I wanna make sure it jives with what's already in the game. Can anyone offer me any clues...

    Child-size models and animations

    So I finally am gonna make a few children models, only I have no sense anymore of how it is done. Resized the desired model to the desired child size with the touch of a button in the Tool, and saved the animation (my.an I do believe) as well since the man animation does not work with it. But I...

    Some more ideas I am tossing around...

    So after playing SMP!, I've had a few thoughts for things that would be nice to add to PotC. Cat's kind of already working on a treasure map idea so that needn't be said. And I think there has been some work to make the balance of powers, with hostile take-overs and peace treaties and so on...

    Random beginning scenarios mod

    Finally got to play Sid Meyer's Pirates and though it's cartoony and foolishly simple (unlimited ammo, fighting so basic it offended me), I got hooked for a few hours. And it reminded me of an idea I had once for a PotC mod. So I am entertaining the idea of coding a few new starting scenarios...

    Let's kindly get me caught up...

    So I have just now gotten POTC installed on this machine at the house, but I've lost track of which files I should be downloading to install over it. I'll inspect the FTP for the newer ones, but anyone want to advise me? I mean, which are the stable ones and which ones are for testing, and all...

    RobC/Alan_Smithee Blacksmiths Mod v. 2.0 ready for D/L

    As I write this, my update/expansion of RobC's blacksmith mod is uploading to the server. It's roughly a 16 meg download, since I dunno how to compress or make a `self-extracting`; it's a `folder-tree`-arranged collection of the models and skins and text files that add one blacksmith for each...

    "Invalid argument to date encode"? WTF? Needed for

    I'm writing a new quest so resolving this bug is vital for me. My game CTD's trying to enter my boat out of the FdF port, and the error report says "Invalid argument to date encode." It blames the error on some lines in some dialogs I've edited. Like, for three different lines in two of the...

    Update on my new projects -- huge ship cobbled together!

    Finally making some progress in some projects. Just a moment ago I'd written out a whole explanation of my complete and explorable ship interior mod, but the whole machine got zapped by evil francophone lightning or something. le sigh. In short, I was buzzed on...

    My new questions and suggestions

    I've had a few new thoughts to bounce around, but first I want to ask about that blacksmith graphical interface, I think NK wrote it. I never got it to work before, it gave me a C+ runtime error, and even now it still doesn't work. And I take it no one else had this problem. Could he rewrite it...

    Wanna know who the REAL pirates are?

    The REAL pirates, I'm finding, are le government Quebecois and their notion to raise tuition for foreign students, who already pay 10x more than natives. Rotten French pirates in stripey shirts and berets, swingin' their `sword-like` loaves of bread... Sorry, a `non-sequiter`. As appropros...

    Huge problem plauging me, rargh, desperate for help!

    I'm about to fully reinstall my game for the third time in two days, since I have this awful recurring problem where I simply get a black screen upon starting a new game. It happens after I've installed a few mods (downloads from here and my own skins/codes), but I can't pinpoint just which...

    New formula for ships... so how?

    After reinstalling the whole lot, I decided to try out that tempting Jolly Roger RobinB made a while back. But I've noticed Build11 has changed since he wrote his instructions, so following them gives me an error with no ships available at all. Anyone know the formula, given the latest build...

    Couple quest questions

    I've found a few quests that I don't remember reading about anywhere, not even the B11 "quests added" file, so I have to wonder about them. 1) I forget his name, but there's this fat bald merchant with a little gotee just outside the church on FdF, and you help him recover some stolen...

    Ahoy, who wants to help me make some quests?

    Maties, I've got some ideas cooking for new side quests of all sorts... Texture redesign I'm fine with, for new characters. But I'm just beginning to learn the coding, that's my big handicap. I've gotten as far as inserting a new character in a place and getting through the dialog, even hiring...

    My junk's just all KINDS of messed up...

    Things have gone from bad to worse as I've tried to fix a bug that appeared out of nowhere the other day... Two full reinstalls, working fine up to a point, then they just take a dive, in different ways and at different places. What I get now is the game won't even start, as during the small...
