<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> m8s i just got a idea.
I was thinking about a mod for Aop that would be cool but im not a modder myself so if anyone got this maybe could use some ideas.
What i think would be cool is a multiplayer adjustment. You have more then one person on the same ship as in one person can be captain and another boatswain and so on and so forth. That would be cool. Gunner crews would be a nice touch too. Like there would need to be people too put out fires repair the ship and take care of all the water. That alone would be like my dream game and thats not including boarding. In boarding you could like have musket fire and lots o freedom to move bout deck. This might be too hard to make i think and probobly has the potential to be a completely different game but just a cool idea!


LOL thats all. <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" />
 
As much as i know, you will control the ship during battles, not the sailors and there will be no fencing at boarding like you have at land. So build in control of single persons aboard the ship might be impossible, if you don't want to rewrite the whole game....
 
I think another title from Akella has something like that. It's called PT-boats, but it's a WWII game. So no luck with boarding and fencing again <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 guess i'ts too soon to talk about this. Let's wait and see what happens with the original game. As for now - the're trying hard with liitle success...
It's like one step forward and two back.

BTW the game has changed a lot since release.

Most recent patch (v 1.1) added "talking with captains in sea" asking for news, to surrender the ship, pay you for not destroying his man-o-war or pay a ransom for prisoner you have on board... This is the feature that always should have been there, or at least the icon was there.(as many more things in the game - like doors, jungle you can't enter... ) I think they'll open them for an european release.

And finally - the game is not mod-friendly - thank's to starforce.

Is it known if the European version will be mod-friendly? If not, I suppose we'll be <i>forced</i> to stick with PotC. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
Not that I would mind sticking with PotC. Would be a shame to have to start from scratch again while we have so much good stuff. <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 have been thinking of how to add such a feature into PotC. I've got several ideas for it, but don't know exactly how to code it yet. When I have time, I'll go and try... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
Maybe AlexusB could do this in his SLiB project... Actually this add-on looks much more promising to me.

I'm sick and tired of buggish AoP, and I'm signing off from beta testers <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
