    Discussion Some game play questions

    1: Forts are certainly a possible source if you find the right civilian and he doesn't call guards instead of talking to you. (Useful hint: get a special sword such as Francis Drake's sword from the "Angelique Moulin's Father" quest. It never deteriorates. So if you have to fight the entire...

    Bug Stock POTC / Strange things on archipelago / Animist temple - I can't move

    That's odd. Something must have gone wrong with the game much earlier in the quest. When you delivered the second letter to Padre Domingues, you should have been attacked by some Animists. When you killed them all, Padre Domingues should have been moved to the Animist cave and a different...

    Discussion Some game play questions

    1: You can't. Those are stock game locations - Conceicao, Douwesen and Falaise de Feur respectively. You won't find land entrances to forts in San Juan (Isla Muelle) or Port Royale (Redmond) for the same reason. Only Speightstown (Oxbay) and Bridgetown (Greenford) were expanded to include new...

    Bug Stock POTC / Strange things on archipelago / Animist temple - I can't move

    Odd. I don't remember having a problem with that quest when I played the stock game. I certainly completed it because I made sure to do so before the last part of the main story. Did you talk to Padre Domingues in the Animist prison cell before going to the throne room? Can you upload your...

    Screenshots thread

    For example, while most jungle locations use the default file in "RESOURCE\Textures", some use a version in subfolder "Locations\JUNGLES", where I've turned the flower bright pink. And the version in "Locations\ENGLAND" is now blue.

    Elizabeth Shaw Quest

    Why should the game account for poor player choices? As an experiment, I started a FreePlay as a merchant character. FreePlay starts at level 5, and being a merchant, I rose to level 6 by doing cargo deliveries, which raised my Sailing and Commerce skills but didn't do much for Melee, Cannons...

    Squire of the Sea

    Nice work! :cheers Of particular interest are the one with dark hair, white shirt and blue trousers and the one with fair hair and light blue dress. Here's why: On the left, character model "50_33Petra". On the right, "towngirl1". If you go into a tavern in PoTC, you'll often see a random...

    Could Someone Give me Advice on Customizing Ship Models in Pirates Ahoy?

    For textures, you will need: . GM Viewer: https://piratesahoy.bowengames.com/Cloud/Tools/Modeling+Texturing/GM%20Viewer.zip - shows ship model parts, also shows which texture files they use. .

    (Stock PotC) Choices in quests

    There is no real choice in the main story - for example, whether you do it on your own initiative or you wait for orders from Silehard, you must destroy (or capture) the Oiseau because the next part of the story won't start until you do. In the assassin quest, you should have a few choices when...

    Discussion Lost quests on stock PotC?

    1: Did you set Artois as an officer before you arrived at the island Conceicao? If not, make sure he's an officer, sail somewhere else, then return to Conceicao. 2: That's just a way of telling you that you're about to receive the same treatment - or, if you have already visited Silehard and...

    Need Help Help modifing Starting parameter POTC 2003

    That's going to be a problem. Windows security does silly things in "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)". Uninstall the game, then install it again, but this time put it somewhere else. Mine, for example, is in "C:\Games\Pirates of the Caribbean".

    BNH and MNH questions

    Assuming Maelstrom works the same way for this as New Horizons, there are a few possible causes. One is reputation. If your reputation is on the good side of the spectrum ("Bloke", "Matey", "Dashing", "Hero") and your captain's reputation is on the evil side ("Rascal", "Swindler", "Bloody...

    Screenshots thread

    This is how flowers in the jungle look at the moment: Flowers should be bright. They want to be seen. It's nothing to do with romantic gestures for humans, it's to attract insects which will spread the plant's pollen. So, a simple change to "RESOURCE\Textures\leafPalms.tga.tx" to brighten...

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 31st January 2025]

    Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, someone's stolen the old man's hat. I don't want to rush out a new full update before the end of the year. Rush leads to mistakes, mistakes lead to bugs, bugs lead to suffering. But for the greedy Social Climbers among you, there's this: Gold for...

    Trophies in the Free Play mode

    Here's the next one. As a FreePlay Social Climber, raise 1000000 gold by any means fair or foul, but not as a British, French, Spanish or Portuguese privateer. Then go and talk to any non-hostile, non-Pirate governor. The conditions for the "Gold for Honours" quest are: . You are less than...

    Manowar in shopw or encounter

    Don't worry about it, I've done the same thing before. Any modder who claims never to have written code which failed due to missing brackets, missing semi-colons or simple typing errors is almost certainly lying. :D

    Discussion Lost quests on stock PotC?

    Look at "PROGRAM\ITEMS\initItems.c". Find the entry for the Corsair's Pride, find the entry for a basic sword such as "blade1", and see what is different apart from basic stats such as damage and price.

    You have not put a semi-colon at the ends of your new lines. Spot the difference:

    Manowar in shopw or encounter

    Have you tried starting a new game? Changes to "Ships_init.c" might not take effect until you do. You should be able to find those ships in "Ships_init.c". After that, whatever you did to unlock the manowar, do the same to them. For the Satanist frigate, for example, look for "Frigate_sat"...
