If anybody knows which A&M Mod versions are available and ready for install, please tell me where to find them and how to install them. If possible, including some translation to English (I am no good at Russian <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> ).
I want to test out the A&M Mod (and see if there is anything interesting I can merge into the Build as well. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
If nobody minds, that is... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> )
 
<a href="http://legend.seaward.ru/links.htm?uselink=69" target="_blank">http://legend.seaward.ru/links.htm?uselink=69</a>
 
It's all in Russian. I can't understand what to download. Any chance you might give me step-by-step installation instructions? And would it work on an Euro PotC version? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
The A&M mod work perfectly on a europeen version
You can download it here <a href="http://legend.seaward.ru/download.htm" target="_blank">http://legend.seaward.ru/download.htm</a> The link botom the page.

Click on there 4 link "data1.slb 2.8 Мб | data2.slb 68 Мб | data_upd2.slb 14 Мб | data3.slb 1.8 Мб | setup.rar 0.26 Мб "

good luck <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Put this files in one folder, unrar setup.rar in the same folder and start setup_upd.exe Other in English <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Is there a "setup_upd.exe"? I only see a "setup_addon.exe". Ah... Well... I'll be trying that one then. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

BTW: I've heard that the mod is at least partially translated. Is the translation added in some of the downloads on the download page, or is it an additional download? If so: Where to find it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Of course it is setup_addon.exe, my mistake. About translation, it's not finished yet, and not available for downloading now, I think. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Seems to have worked in the end. Was a bit complicated (got a few error messages), but I think I've got it now. Been looking through the RESOURCE files: Impressive, very impressive. Haven't gone to play yet though. Can't understand the interface buttons. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
BTW: I thought there was a small download to at least translate the interfaces and Quest Book, even though dialogs would remain firmly Russian. Is that file available somewhere? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Lots of interesting stuff to add into the Build as well. Nice new character models. Great new ships skins. Recoloured location models (to use for new towns). Cool new blades and guns. Lots of new stuff! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

If nobody minds, I will try to make a zip file containing all new A&M Mod RESOURCE files, so that modders here can use them as well for their mods. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

Perhaps you should ask AlexusB 'bout this. He is registered member here <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> And also about english translation.
 
Thanks a lot navy, I have sent him a PM. In case anyone wants to see what I wrote:
<!--QuoteBegin-"PM to AlexusB"+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE("PM to AlexusB")</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Hello AlexusB,

I wanted to ask you if you are fine with me (or other people) using resource files from the A&M Mod for the Build. As long as the A&M Mod modding team is properly credited, of course. We wouldn't want to pass on any of your work as our own. I believe someone (you?) once said that we were free to use the resource files for our own purposes, but I would like to ask for permission once more.

I have been working on a Post Build 12 Mods compilation for the Build for quite some time and I'm trying to add in as many new stuff as I can find, so that includes any new stuff from the A&M Mod that I can add. I already added in several character skins and Maximus has used the A&M Mod's interface files and ideas to create an improved user interface for the Build. The A&M Mod's new added islands are also being worked on to get into the Build. On <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.net" target="_blank">Pieter's Pirates Page</a>, you can see what work from the A&M Mod has already been added into the Post Build 12 Modpack.

I would also like to quote something I wrote some time ago in the <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/index.php?showtopic=5869" target="_blank">New Interface Released For Download</a>, but haven't got any reply to from anyone working on the A&M Mod:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->I would also want to thank everyone from the A&M modding team for doing the great work which this has been based on. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
And while we're at the point of talking about stuff taken from the A&M mod: I also want to say that I have taken several character models from the A&M mod and put them into my Post Build 12 compilation (which can be found at <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.net" target="_blank">Pieter's Pirates Page</a>). I haven't taken credit for making the models (I'm not so good at making human-like models and am terrible at texturing anyway), so I've only taken credit* for merging them in. I recall once hearing that we could use the files from the A&M Mod for the Build, so I sincerely hope you don't mind... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

*credit in this case means that the models are merged into initModels.c like this:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    // --> PB Merges
    makeref(model,Models[n]);
    model.description =  "I want to dress out like someone really, really poor. Don't ask me why.";
    model.id    =  "brodyag1"; // From the A&M Mod
    model.price    =  1;
    model.assigned    =  true;
    n++;
    // PB Merges <--<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->As you can see, it does say the models came from the A&M Mod, so I hope this is OK with you...<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

With your permission, I would like to make a zip file containing all the new A&M Mod work and make it available for download so that all the modders here can use the files for their own mods. That would include character models, weapons models, ship models and location models.

In return, I would want to offer that you may use all mods that I have worked on in the A&M Mod, if you like. That is, of course, a feeble return, because I haven't done much at all yet, but it is the only thing I can offer in return. And, of course, I would make sure that all the A&M Mod work will be credited to the A&M Mod modding team.

Thanks for reading this lengthy PM and thanks in advance for your reply. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Hi Pieter I have here the new interface file for a&m mod.In Pirates Ahoy ftp there are needed files a&m addon or similiar name.But interface file is old.
The file goes to Pirates of the Caribbean\RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\RUSSIAN
Hope this attacment thing works.
No it did not. I do not have permission. I try to put it in ftp. Bye
The common.ini file is now on ftp.Name is New a&M interface file.
 
Thanks, Captain Hawk. Will check it out.

I now made a zip containing the A&M Mod's new files. I thought it would be about 50MB. How very wrong I was! It's 380MB!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
NOW what???? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
Well... The add-on works now. And BOY does it look impressive. Unfortunately, I don't understand anything (except for the minor parts that have been translated). I kept being killed in the second location you come in when trying to fight. And I haven't got a clue what I should do on the pirate island. I suppose I should get a ship. How? Beats me! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
Does anyone know what the odds are of seeing an English version (soon)? I would really, really, really like to play this mod properly. It looks like it's defenitely worth to be played. And there already seem to be more parts translated than are actually used in the game. I've seen several translated dialog files in some file on the PA! FTP. Quite a lot of them actually.
 
Hi Ihave uploaded my RUSSIAN folder to ftp.
Hope there is more translations in it.
What to do is, start as trader take a loan 1500 .
Buy a tartane transport passagers and escort ships to ENGLISH colonies .
If you Started as Blaze that is.Change flag to english.
RUSSIAN folder goes to Pirates of the Caribbean\RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS.
Bye.
 
Thanks a lot, again, Captain Hawk. That works better. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
Now if only I could figure out what those crazy people are saying... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
If you start in pirate isle "hebuc" go to the tavern and talk at the tavernkepper and at the man wich are sitting(he has a beard and a hat) After you can take his boat.
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> WOW! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

Now where are all the people who were working on that translation mod? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

More power to ya, Pieter! I have been hoping to play with this mod for quite a while now - sure looks great... It's really nice that we have this spirit of cooperation and we can share our works - more fun for everyone!

(almost typed that to say "more RUM for everyone"!) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

Anyhow, great work! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
I have received AlexusB's reply to my asking if he minds us using A&M Mod resource files. He said that, as long as we give them credit for their own work, we can use whatever we want. And he wants us to call the A&M Mod the "Sea Legend is Back" (SLiB) add-on. But I don't think either of these requirements will be a problem, right? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
So: Major thanks to AlexusB for allowing us to use their files! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />
 
Woohoooo...
