Disable Crew on deck

[DrunkenMaster]

How can I disable the crewmen who are walking around on deck? I'm playing potc with build11 installed.

What do you mean? When you are walking around in 1st person, or totally, when in 3rd person too? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Umm... I don't know, I was just clearing things up for the people who know how to do it... But if you have a `high-end` PC, you could try putting in the normal PotC models onto the ships...

You want to get rid of the `Lo-Man` characters, <b>DrunkenMaster.</b> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> and welcome aboard!

The code for the "`Lo-Man`" characters on your ships is `hard-coded` into the .dll files, and so far as I know, no one has figured out how to hack that yet.

Here is a reference to something some others were attempting to do - replace the `lo-man` characters with skeleton pirates - and there's something there about changing a setting and losing the `lo-man` crew altogether. So that might work for ya...

Yeah, it's a mod that makes them visible in `1st-person` mode.
You can disable that mod by:
open programsea_aiaicameras.c
Find

PeopleOnShip.IsOnDeck = 0; //Keemo


change the 0 to 1.

thx nathan

i made 'em invisible with another method^^...
i modified lo_man animfile so that they were floating around somewhere in sky or underwater... sometimes it looked really strange with that damned `loman-texturefiles` streched all over the screen^^
when u just delete anything in the animfile it results in extreme texture errors and great performance loss <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

thx again for ur solution
