Story lines!

Can someone briefly describe the story lines(with the ones from alpha 10)?
I would be really thankful because i'm a bit confused...
Oh, and someone tell me if the story lines depend on the character you choose; and if they do, which character has which story line?
If don't want to, just post a link to a page that there are all these together so that i can find out!
THNX!!! :)
 
THNX!!! and sorry for all my questions, i'm new in here and i'm trying to get the point quickly.
Thnx again!!

Oh, something i forgot! I read somewhere that after Build 14 you'll stop working on this project! Will you then make something like the Build Mod for CoaS?
Also, can i bring ships from the Build Mod to CoaS and how?
Thnx!
 
Go to Storm Engine modelling and there is sticked tutorials of doing exactly that ;)

Build 14 is still far from being completed but when we do finish the plan is/was to move onto CoAS... somethings might come up where we choose not to do it but at the current time we are planning on doing it... but like I said Build 14 still has a long way to go till completion
 
But that is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time from now. CoaS would be a good platform though.

I agree! It would be a good platform! Because of that and of the quality of the Build Mod team, it would be great to see a more expanded and upgraded CoaS!

I've finally finished downloading and installing the whole thing until the Alpha 10!
Which story line do you recommend playing? I'd prefer the finished ones but if you suggest a WIP i'd be happy to try it!
By the way, which story lines are finished?
Also, is the "Master and Commander" finished?
 
Master and Commander is a purely free play storyline (for testing and other stuff for modders) so it doesnt start ;)

Jack Sparrow is finished up till the end of CotBP with New Horizons being the only truely complete storyline

All of the storylines are worth a play and I think Assassin and Bartolomeu are near completion.

Asking me or Thomas which storyline to play is not the best idea (as we are both writers for seperate storylines)
Me for Jack Sparrow
Thomas for Jean de la Croix

I would recommend trying to give them all a go at some point though ;)

Thnx for that! and sorry for asking, i really didn't mean to cause anything... I just asked because it's the first time i try Build Mod and i want to have a good start! Sorry and thnx again!
So, when you say that Jack Sparrow is finished up till the end of CotBP you mean all the main quest till Isla de la Muerte(whatever it's called) and the end of the POTC1 with all the side quests and stuff?
 
Yep. Pre-film stuff, sidequests and the whole of CotBP are included.
The original game storyline is a good place to start and then any of the other storylines are good.
The Devlin ones don't have much content yet and M&C is empty completely,
but every single other storyline comes highly recommended.
Play all of them at some point if you get the chance. ;)
 
well, i will! They are really great! Congrats! But what's wrong with the side step? Is it supposed to be like that? Just slide to the left and right?
And how do i disable this log about hits and experience on the left side of the screen during battles?
 
We tried adding in a sidestep and the result was the slide :modding

Easy way to stop it, dont use the buttons :rofl
 
I advise you to play Jack Sparrow. My storyline is far from complete :p my quest can keep you busy for perhaps 1 hour :p
 
Ok! And how do i disable this log that informs me about the hits, accuracy and other stuff on the left side of the screen?
Also, my game with Jack Sparrow crashes a lot! Most often when the screen changes to enter the naval battle, enter the cabin and so on! what's wrong?
 
Press [L] while in the game and it'll get rid of a lot of log messages.
 
Thnx! How many levels can i get? Because i get them pretty fast!
Also, will the "Dead man's chest" and "At world's end" be separate story lines or all the 3 will be 1 story line?
 
They'll be added as a continuation of the current storyline.
There's infinite amounts of character levels, but each one is harder to reach that the last.
 
Also if you have auto skill system on (default) skills will take longer to increase slower evertime you level up. So say you got up to melee 9 and your sailing was level 1 it would take a lot longer to get to level 2 sail than it did to get to level 2 melee.

Also depending on your character type (ie Adventurer) will allow 2 or 3 of the skills to increase faster anyway ;)
 
Oh, ok! thnx! Now about Jack Sparrow. I don't know if this has been discussed before, which i guess it did, but i didn't find anything about it. If i finish the story line now, when the patch with DMC and AWE will be released, i 'll have to play it from the beginning again?

Also, while in direct sailing, i know that i can find ships on route, but will i ever find ships battling?
 
You will need to start again from the beginning, but if you've got cheatmode enabled,
we've got some options in place to skip towards points later in the quest.
This is mainly intended for testing, but you could use that. :yes

Good question on the battles in DirectSail; indeed you don't encounter any of those.
I wonder if we can add that; it would make sense, considering you DO have that on worldmap.
 
It would be really nice! And after you meet a battle, decide if you'll get involved or get past it.

Anyway, how much time it takes to sail from one island to another? I've been sailing and sailing for hours only to go from Jamaica to Cayman! And every time i am direct sailing i never find other ships in sea! The only ship i see is the one i escort sometimes and after that the endless ocean.

Also, about pirates. Someone told me that you can't meet them and chase you when direct sailing because of some loading screen. Why is that? Can't you make them behave like a nation ,so that you can meet a pirate ship, and just make it be hostile to everyone?

As for Jack Sparrow, why don't you make them different story lines? Because if you finish CotBP now, you'll have to play it all over again from the beginning to move to the next. Or(i don't know if this can be done)maybe locked story lines that you can unlock if you finish each one?(if you finish CotBP, DMC is unlocked and if you finish that, AWE is unlocked.)
