Ideas for Mods..............

Some sugestions:

1. It would be nice if it were possible to climb the masts in FPS Mode, because those sails can be really annoying when I want to see an enemy's ship with the spyglass.

2. The possibility to hijack ships in the harbour, like Jack Sparrow and Will Turner did in the movie PotC: TCotBP, with the Dauntless and the Interceptor.

3. A Random Dungeon Generator, like in the game Diablo. Each time you enter in a dungeon or a floor in the dungeon, it will be a different place, with different enemies and items.

4. The natives "Akellani" should have a village in the jungles.

5. There should have more "Hitman" missions, after you complete the "Hard Labours of an assassin" quest.

For now, I can't think in any other ideas...

2. The relations with each colony can change. this idea also has something to do with idea #1, where you can deliver either peace treaties for peace, or to declare war by sending ultimatums.

That is one thing I would very much like to put in Build 14. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

4. put the nation's national emblem on standard sails instead of the old looking whole sails.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It was like that in Build 12.1, but I didn't think it to be very realistic, so I made the white sails mod. However, I put a toggle on it, so you can re-enable the emblemed sails very easily: Set DEFAULT_SAILS to 3 in BuildSettings.h. I don't think a new game is required.

We have thought of doing this, but we have been unable to think of a way to make this work.

We have also been thinking of this and I think I know, in theory, how to do this. Coding it in, however, would really be complicated and I don't really know how to do that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That might be really confusing. We already have a whole lot of dungeons, not to mention the Maltese Knight Abbey. Normal dungeons always have different enemies, sometimes you encounter skeletons, sometimes smugglers and pirates. And there are always different items. And be sure to check out that Maltese Knight Abbey with it's cursed pirates, weird effects and big treasures. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Would be nice, yes, but we'd need somebody to model a 3D village then, which isn't very easy.

In Build 14 Alpha, this quest has been improved. Not extended, but the original quest has been made more interesting. That is something. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
well, pieter said all i wanted to say.

one thing though: the rumors about the alkellani say that they don't have a home. they are homeless and have to stay alive by looting travellers. or something like that.
 
Cool, thx Pieter <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

but what about idea #3? with the rigging? Just want to know if it's possible.
 
ok, turns out that the alkellani do have villages, but they are small and scattered throughout the jungle. i've been thinking: what if the alkellani would be changed into the pelegostos? it's just a simple rumor change.

Possible: yes. But we'd need somebody to do it and I don't think anyone would want to. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Another possibility is this.
We have already set the trend of changing POTC from a total fantasy game with 6 fake islands and Indians named after Akella, to one more historic with some real "Caribbean" islands.

Why not rename the Akellani to the Carib Indians.

and change Isla Muelle into Puerto Rico, plz! I live there and would rather see Puerto Rico rather than a fake spanish island.

I agree.
It would require many changes in code to change all references to IM in quests, dialogs, etc.
 
Changing the names isn't difficult, really, but you need to change ALL references. I personally don't really see any need to change the names in the game, but if most other people do want that to be done, I could add it into the Build when somebody coded it.

BTW: I really like the name "Akellani". Seems like quite a funny ingame joke to me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
joke? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Who wrote the PotC game? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Akella? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> that's just lame.
 
What is? That Akella wrote PotC? That the Akellani are named after Akella? Or that Rico said so?
 
I hadn't noticed it until Pieter pointed itout. I think it's pretty amusing. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
