    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    Various exchanges about current code and designs, and possibilities for the future with Kieron and others have given me a lot of ideas. Unfortunately, I'm not yet familiar enough with all the POTC code to implement this stuff <i>myself</i>, but I thought I'd throw them out here for everyone to...

    National ship paint designs in the 17th century?

    I've noticed quite a few people request ship textures based on each nation's respective "standard" paint designs, the most famous of which is the Nelson Checker, of course. It got me interested, so I started Googling, but most of these standards seemed to start forming around the Napoleanic era...

    Replacement deck for ships

    It took me awhile to figure this one out, but after staring at the original deck texture for <i>way</i> too long, I finally adjusted it to suit my own tastes. Overall it's much darker, and I made some changes to the cannons (stole the 'wheels' from Duke's Xebec BR deck texture <img...

    New custom sails and a minor fix for Kieron (screenshots)

    As much as I've been screwing around with textures and ships, and customizing everything I've got the skill to customize, I decided I wanted some sails specifically for my character. To that effect, I started working on an emblem, but very quickly realized that my creativity doesn't extend to...

    Changing ship names (new mod)

    Yes, I already know the first question you probably have. "Why do we need a mod for this, when we can already rename ships in the game?" Well, this idea started out with a very simple desire: the desire to have unavailable characters in my ship names. The apostrophe is the most notable...

    Where's the info on extra ships stored?

    By "extra ships," of course, I mean any ships beyond your first ship. In Characters_init.c, there are entries for "ShipSlot1" through "ShipSlot3," but these are for `new-game` initialization, and always remain empty. Furthermore, any changes passed to them don't seem to have any effect...

    How does the `name-change` function work? (Solved! ... sorta.)

    I'd like to create a small mod that allows me to change my main ship's name through a text file, the way build 11 uses BuildSettings.h to change the main character's name. Why do I want to do it that way? Simple; I want to have characters like apostrophes, which aren't available from the...

    Ship question (working on big personal mod) (UPDATED)

    Thanks to Kieron's new "nation ship design icons" mod, I've decided that I want all the ships in my game to have a specific origin. From that spawned the idea to have different nations build different ships--at least, ships with different textures. Based on this idea, I'm slowly reworking my...

    Where are ship names stored during the game?

    I've been curious about this for a while. I know how to change the name of my starting ship, but are the names for all the ships you capture/encounter stored in your save files? I'm only asking because my main ship has a custom name (Emily's Love) that I can't mimic with the `in-game` keyboard...

    Intermittent CTD in sailing mode (build 11)

    I usually hate `cross-posting`, but after posting this problem in the Technical section, I realized that a lot more users read and post in this section, and since it's a glitch in the build, it should probably be here anyway. So without further ado... I'm getting a CTD that I haven't seen...

    Unusual CTD in sailing mode (build 11)

    I'm getting a CTD that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else. It doesn't happen when a `pirate-hunting` quest has been activated--or any quest, for that matter. It's happened to me twice, and has happened to a friend of mine twice in rapid succession. What happens is this: In sailing mode...

    The Black Pearl--automatically hostile?! (Build 11)

    Running through the 'treasure chest' quest, I talked to the shipyard owner at Oxbay about the chest he wanted me to deliver. `Yadda-yadda`, guy on Falaise de Fleur. Right. My relations with France are a bit strained, to put it mildly, but I was headed there to smuggle some stolen goods...

    Weathered Ships Mod (Updated!)

    This mod is an extension of MuddyMonkey77's original "Weathered Ships Mod," which installs Rafe Bligh's custom ship textures as new ships, rather than replacing the original ship textures. More or less, all I've done here is to include Rafe's latest ship textures in the mod, as well as creating...

    Problem when adding new ships (build 11)

    I downloaded the weathered ships mod by MuddyMonkey, the one that adds Rafe Bligh's textures as new ships instead of replacing the original skins. The version available in the mods section only includes Rafe's original textures, and since he's added to them, I decided to update the mod for...

    Where to find *separate* mod files?

    Hey, guys. A friend of mine recently picked up POTC and installed it on my computer (he doesn't have his own but wanted to play the game), and since then I've been really interested in the various mods that people have produced. I've downloaded quite a few, including the newest PMT build...
