Womens speed:-) - little help

[TheOsirisDK]

Before I even found out there was a "patch" for potc i was trying to tweak the game a bit myself... all working well actually! I came across something rather odd though:
I wantet to play as Danielle right, so (cant remember exactly) i changed the model to danielle (simpel) however in game she moving faster then she shuold according to the speed of her legs! hard to explain but it was like she was "hovering" over the ground!!!
I then changed her "sex" to female and the problem disappered! (ie males are faster females in potc! lol)
anyway, then for some reason ALL the story was disabled! I started by the docks having appearently skiped the boat traning! why?!
is there any way i can get my Danielle Avatar to move NORMAL and still play the story?

(BTW when i changed the "sex", the dialog also changed from "Mr" to "Miss"...!)

great - now im replying myself, anyway I was just wondering...
with the new Build, you can change you character right... can become danielle `In-game`? (where are those darn tailors anyway???)
if not, how can change that? appearently it dosent work with just changing the model and the id... little help?

Yes, you can play as Danielle in the B12 game through getting her outfit at the Tailor. You will be able to find her at the Tailor on QC - he's the guy in the blue suit standing to the right of the gate when you go into the town.

I also made up a couple of new female skins to go in the tailor shop, but I haven't put them into the Build update yet. If you wish to try them, you can get them at this link:

<a href="ftp://ftp.ganotherapyusa.com/pub/new_chars.exe" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.ganotherapyusa.com/pub/new_chars.exe</a>

It is a `self-extracting` archive, and once it is opened up just copy all and paste into your PotC directory (overwrite all).

Here is a link to what the new skins look like:

<a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/`ftopic3799-0`.php" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/`ftopic3799-0`.php</a>

There are two females, three males, and a skelly. The two female skins can be found (redhead) at the English tailors, and (black) at the tailor on FdF. The tailor on Oxbay is on the street to your right as you enter the gate, and the one at FdF is in the same area as the Shop, so just fast travel there, and walk out of the shop and down the steps to the right.

The trouble with quests not working when you change your character may have to do with the character ID, unique for each character andcalled up for quests and things. Here's the way I would do it, to start out the whole game as Danielle but keep the right ID:

First, get Build 12 and install everything, since no pirate should be without it. Then find Malcolm Hatcher's dialog file, and find in it where he offers you different outfits to change into. Either change one of those or activate one of the ones that aren't used, using the Danielle model as your option. (I've not noticed it but I'm sure it's a Tailors Mod option, which would mean you'll have no troubles playing it `in-game`.)

You may also want to find Catalina's extra Danielle skins for the Tailor's mod download, in one of the threads around here.

ohoh, got a little problem on our hands here:
I did alan_smithee suggestet and changed Malcoms dialog, however,
if only change thing in the dialog, Danielle will look all screwed up in game (ie: body parts all over the scene...)
To solve that I change the ch.sex to "woman" in the "characters_init.c" file, but now I'm back where I startet with Danielles feet not macthing her speed... Any ideas? Now I just swap the model `in-game` from the tailor, dose I get any of the problems?
(I really hope I can play with Danielle at the start, becuase the tailor shop is guarded by 3 pirate ships who's cannons - im not interrestet in...)

 

[CatalinaThePirate]

Yes, if you get Danielle from the tailor and if you have restored the original files, she will work as a skin for your main character. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

There may possibly be some remaining checks of pc's sex in the quest files, so I can't guarantee that the MQ and others will work right, but as said above in the main the problem is the ID and not the pc's sex.
