    the Black Pearl 2.0

    Actually, the change from the American's to the French presents a flaw in the movie. The design of the Acheron, as explained in the movie, was a new design that the Americans were building at the time and was a state secret! In the book, it was possible for the Acheron (not it's name in the...

    Pirates Online

    As I understand it (I have no first hand game play knowledge), it works similar to the PotC game. Both crew and hired officers are NPCs under computer AI, only the ship's captain (i.e. you) is a player. You interact with other game players onshore and can act as a team during quests and can join...

    age of sale - different eras

    Once again, just like I said the the discussion on re-writing the main quest, this is not necessary. If you add the Jack Sparrow story to a East India Trading Company office in Redmon and make it a separate quest, you can add an Admirals office in the Fort and add an entire series of military...

    the Black Pearl 2.0

    I'm missing something then, the black pearl in my game seems to have a shorter quarter-deck and three ship boats on the main deck rather than the gratings that seem to appear in the picture in the first post of this thread. Are you sure that they are the same models? Or are their two models in...

    Ships Boats

    The bug is caused by the code automatically adding the 'disembark' function to the hot key for instant action which is what the Anchor used to do. Whoever made the code, changed the anchor to send you to the deck but did not properly remove the code to send you to port, instead it got sent to...

    Rewrite current main quest...

    First, it is possible to play the game now without doing the main quest. All of the side quests that came with the game and all the new quests make it very enjoyable without doing the main at all. My suggestion was to create a East India Trading Company with Becket that was not linked to the...

    Questions

    To change it for a specific ship, you go into the Program/Ship and open shipinit.c in a text editor (check peters page, he has a good one for free that works perfectly with POTC), go to the ship and change the line: refship.abordagelocation = "boarding location you want here_location" to the...

    Ships Boats

    Actually, everything I think I’ll need is already in the game, at least to do it simple at first. Creating a ships boat is simple, it’s just another ship and the rowboat model is already in the game. Then add a ships boat action icon that appears only when your on your ships deck. Set up a...

    Isla de Muerte

    Isla de Muerte is right where Peter said it was. It shows up on ALL MAPS if you have compass3. So far there is nothing there but some recycled landscape and caves, but it still looks cool and will be a great place for the 'Jack Sparrow' quest. Whoever did the mod, NICE JOB, keep it up!

    Ships Boats

    As no one else has come forward, I'm willing to give this a shot. My C++ Kung-Fu is weak at the moment (Still learning the language) and I have yet to figure out where everything in the game programing is. But there are many many good hints and links scattered through theses forums so I'm...

    Question about class 1 ships

    I think you can turn the mod off in Buildsettings, but I'm not sure. You CAN buy them with the Mod running in QC but they are very rare even then. I did buy a MOW there to take on the Oxbay fort, so they don't seem to care what level you are.

    My ideas

    Do what I'm doing, read all the post, hints, fact sheets and tutorials you can get your hands on in the forums, grab a copy of C++ for dummies and teach yourself. (BTW keep backups of every file otherwise you get to do lots of reinstalls). I'm also playing with all the stuff from peters page...

    what ye be callin' 'er?

    My modified Bermuda Sloop is “Caribbean Witch”. When using a middle of the road ship it’s always the ‘Black Pearl’. The big ship is usually named ‘Retribution” if I’m going to use it for a while. Frankly I love the witch, the Bermuda Sloop is not only a great looking ship, but...

    Ships Boats

    While it would be good if you could make the boats look like they are being rowed, it's not necessary. Also, the larger ship boats (cutter and launch) often did carry sails!!!! So for the smaller ones, just eliminate the sails but keep the code for them to move (rowing into the wind was very...

    New to Modding, with a question

    I just wanted to be sure I could still do it the old way. The new items.c file has every listed in row format. I wasn't sure how to change those, but noticed that some items are still listed via the old method. Apparently adding a +1 - +3 changes the quality of the weapon and there is a file...

    Ships Boats

    Here's a suggestion. Create a couple of Tartane and name them Jolly Boat, Captain's Gig, Long Boat and Cutter. No weapons and limited crew. Update the 'Ship Birth' function to allow you to birth theses boat on your ship rather than an island. When you want to use them, re-launch the ship and...

    Rewrite current main quest...

    no, Jack gets the compass but it's not clear when. It seems that the main reason Jack gets the compass is to find the treasure. It follows that this would be after he learns of the treasure. I would suggest that it is also after his falling out with Becket. After all, if he could find anything...
