    Peter Blood: stuck (like many)

    So, I've bought the game full of hopes, but for now it seems that Akella has released an unpolished game (once again). I've tried 4 times to solve the starting quest for Peter Blood, but it seems that everytime I miss something: 1- Cured the one with migraine - received a dagger Talked off the...

    Encounter generator

    I've searched in both files, but I can only find the settings for the "sail to", not for the World Map encounters.

    Encounter generator

    What's the file that creates the 3d mode encounter settings, when you are "teleported" from the World Map to the "normal" map? I want to change the distance at which those encounters are set, because I find myself often already in cannon range, so there's no room to maneuver

    dine with the captain

    now we only need a violin/cello mod, a "better wildlife" mod and a spy-story, and I can really roleplay Aubrey's adventures <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink:" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

    Pirate's Island?

    uh? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> and from what I would have had to understand it?

    Pirate's Island?

    In the quest where I have to find Rheims, the quest log hint me to go to "Pirate's Island".. Where's it? Tortuga?

    boarding tips

    Every time I board an enemy ship, I immediately find myself alone, against 6-7 enemy soldiers: what's wrong? I've filled the weapon locker in my cabin with all sort of guns and swords, but my crew is slaughtered in the first 10 seconds of battle...

    How do you keep officers alive?

    well, as far as I remember the mod doesn't work anymore if you switch to the World Map (or, to be precise, it doesn't work if you go back to the 3d far away from land). But 30 min of sailing are really too few (unless you did them at 30x speed), to reach Redmond from Oxbay it takes 4 game-hours

    How do you keep officers alive?

    yeah, I supposed that.. so, if I enable the DSmod, I have to jump off, save and then return to the 3d mode. But in the read-me of the mod there's this line "<i>Directsail works only if you are in a sealocation that contains an island. If you are at "open sea" it doesn't work cause that location...

    How do you keep officers alive?

    The DirectSail mod is REALLY interesting, but I have a doubt: if I sail from island to island in 3d mode, how can I save (I don't know why, but you can save everywhere except when you are on your ship)?

    Save Menu Bug

    Save Menu Bug

    Without a reason (I've done nothing "strange" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> ) the game now, when I go in the save menu and click on "save", crashes: the save slots disappear, and I can still click on...

    How do you keep officers alive?

    I've searched in InternalSettings.h but I couldn't find the right parameter; I'm trying to set the game to be the more realistic as possible, so if you have other advices... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    How do you keep officers alive?

    Thanks again. Is there a way to slow down the game in the high-sea map? When I enter battle I often find myself already in cannon range because I wasn't fast enough to press the space-bar at the right time, and that's a bit unrealistic (and a bit too easy if you sail on an first rate ship)

    How do you keep officers alive?

    Thank you, I've solved the problem putting him in the passenger list when I have to land. How the officer's skill are used during navigation? Are they added to yours (so if you have 2 luck, and an officer 1, it becomes 3), or the game uses the higher value (so if you have 1, and an officer 2...

    How do you keep officers alive?

    After a successful boarding, I've hired a merry french doctor for my ship... The problem is that the nice guy follows me everywhere, even if I politely ask him to stay on board at the next battle; so he dies, everytime, everywhere; is there a way to force him to stay on the ship, or at least at...
