Some Questions for modding with the game

At first I wanna say that i'm german so sorry when something is wrong.
I have the German version of the Game PotC and the Build mod 14.
My biggest Problem is,that the game is English but i want to play in german :)
The second is, that i want ships like the Pearl or Dutchmen in the Shipyard to buy. How can i make these ships buildable for me in all storylines?! :)
Thanks
 
You'd have to translate the English to German yourself. No German translation will exist until somebody starts and finishes it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
For the film shops, go to the Buccaneer Camp on Hispaniola and buy them from Hendrick Vanderdecken.
 
thank you.
but the thing i want is, taking the original german version that i can play in german.
So i only want to mod the german version that i can walk on deks and add all the ships of this mod.
What i have to do to get all the ships and the decks in the german version?
which things i have to change?
 
For the ships, you'd need to take the models from RESOURCE\MODELS\Ships and the textures from RESOURCE\Textures\Ships and the code from PROGRAM\SHIPS\ships_init.c and RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\English\common.ini. You'll need to modify the ships_init code for the stock game though, which is going to cost you quite some time once you've figured out how to do it. As for the ship's decks, there's no easy way to impletent those into the original game.

Don't you think that playing the game in English is a small price to pay for all the added features in the Build? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
yes it's a small price and english isn't a big problem for me.
But my problem is, that i want to take the pearl or the dutchman as startship but if i change the startship in one of the storys, the game crashes or there are false textures and i don't know where i can buy the dutchman. in tortuga?! but they are shooting at me when i sail there -.-
 
look at this post then

You installed Alpha 9 + Patch 2 properly? If so, there should be no texture problems.
You can buy the ships from Hendrick Vanderdecken in the Hispaniola Buccaneer Camp.
 
But if i want the dutchmen as my startship, i go to storyline and change lugger1 into curseddutchman.
But now, i can't walk anymore. the game didn's crash but i can't walk -.-
where is that camp?
I have to find that buccaneer camp right?! Cause on Hispaniola i can only take beaches to land or tortuga/the other 2 towns but not that camp

Land on the bay "Boca de Hubon" on the island "Hispaniola". Go into the jungle, about 2 levels and there you will find the same pirate fort like on the island Bonaire (Douwesen).
Go into that fort and search for a strange looking black skeleton guy call'd "Vanderdecken", should'nt be hard to find.

Here the pictures:

The camp is not at a shore; it's near Boca de Hubon though.

You should be able to set the Dutchman as your start ship if you installed Alpha 9 correctly. I've done that myself in the past.
 
Mhm no can't set it. If i take another ship as the Lugger as startship, i can't walk -.-
Don't know why but when i install alpha 9, sometimes the runme says, that something ant's be found.
is that the problem that it doesn't work?
 
Where are you setting your start ship? You need to do it in PROGRAM\Storyline\[Storyline].c
I just tested setting <i>sl.(sn).start.ship = "FlyingDutchman";</i> in the standard storyline and that worked fine. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
No doesn't work -.-
in the legend of jack sparrow it works fine with the dutchman but in the standart story i can't walk^^
 
I just checked CursedDutchman too and it works for me in Alpha 9 Patch 2; please make sure you installed correctly.
Alternatively, use PROGRAM\console.c. Remove the // before the GiveShip2Character line and change "Constitution" into "CursedDutchman".
Start a new game with the standard storyline and the standard lugger, go to port, then press F12 and you get the Dutchman after all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
