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

    Got it - just in time! Because I'm just about going to keep to my intention of releasing the update before the end of the month.

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    Rereading that, I reckon I may have inadvertently insulted you, so just to be clear: I'm not calling you a fool! You're trying to find bugs - good. :cheers And you'll be credited for it in the documentation. A player who is not trying to help debug the story but who does strange things anyway...

    Cannot fight Coast Guard

    One possible workaround is to change officers' jobs. Not all officer types can contribute "Evade Coast Guard". The ones who can are the boatswain, quartermaster and master at arms. So can a pirate captain; you might have one of those if you captured a pirate and then hired him as an officer...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    Update: I've now tried that savegame a few times. It begins in Santo Domingo town, where fast travel is disabled. After going to the port, I talk to and then fight the soldiers by the ship, talk to officers, then teleport to the first cargo hold. After fighting more soldiers, I teleport to...

    Squire of the Sea

    Done! The shirt and vest have a bit of extra detail. That's because I'm not much good at creative freehand drawing but I'm an absolute demon at copying and pasting. So the texture for this outfit is a mixture of pieces from four existing character models with the colours changed to look...

    1: At case "renforce_6", add:Locations[FindLocation("Buccaneers_Camp")].vcskip = true;That should prevent thugs and any other random characters from appearing. Then, at case "renforts_4", add:DeleteAttribute(&Locations[FindLocation("Buccaneers_Camp")],"vcskip");That puts Buccaneers Camp back to...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    As far as I can tell, Anaconda has always been "PO_Fleut50". You also get the same type of ship if you start a FreePlay game as a Gambler or Rogue, go ashore for a duel, escape from jail and refuse to pay the jailer. You end up disguised as a priest and take over the ship, and the questbook...

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

    I intend to release another update soon, preferably before the end of this month. Anyone who has files needing to go in, please upload them soon. That includes but is not limited to @Jack Rackham, @AkrimalS, @Homo eructus and @BathtubPirate.

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    Try this version of "PROGRAM\Storyline\Bartolomeu\dialogs\Hugh_Chadman_dialog.c". Option 1 of the dialog is no longer an option. :D

    Need Help Continue playing after final mission + other minor questions

    First, make a copy of "PROGRAM\QUESTS\quests_reaction.c" in case this goes horribly wrong! Edit "quests_reaction.c". Find cases "Story_KillTheFinalBoss" and "Story_KillTheFinalBoss_2". Delete these lines from "Story_KillTheFinalBoss_2": bMainMenuLaunchAfterVideo = true...

    Can't save game without an active profile

    Where is your game installed? By default, it wants to install somewhere in "Program Files (x86)". Modern Windows security does silly things in "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" so it is better to install PoTC (and any other games, for that matter) somewhere else. Mine, for example, is...

    Screenshots thread

    I've no idea. It depends on whether the folks responsible for maintaining them copy these updates into BNH or MNH. Besides, this is mere cosmetics - there are far more significant changes in the currently available update, so see if you can find any of these: . FreePlay character Aveline de...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    At case "informateur_tavern", add:Locations[FindLocation("Turks_Tavern")].vcskip = true; At cases "cherchargent" and "natcharles", add:DeleteAttribute(&Locations[FindLocation("Turks_Tavern")],"vcskip"); That should block random characters in the tavern when you go to sit with Walter Foreman...

    Solved Terrible at fighting

    Found it! It is indeed in the "Options" menu, under "Game Preferences". For some reason, when I first go there, I can only see the first few choices (look at the slider on the scroll bar): If I click on a random setting (it doesn't matter which one, as none of these are the one I want) and...

    Solved Terrible at fighting

    Press F1 to go to the main menu and click on "Options". There should be a setting somewhere in there, possibly under Realism. If you can't allocate skill points manually, it's being done automatically. You'll gain skill depending on what you do, e.g. "Melee" for getting into fights...

    Discussion Some game play questions

    Carronades are less powerful than cannons of the same calibre. That's because they're smaller, shorter barrelled guns, so they don't have as high a muzzle velocity. The advantage is that you can use them on smaller ships - a 32lb carronade can be used on a ship whose maximum normal calibre is...

    BNH and MNH questions

    Look in "RESOURCE\Textures\flags". "shpflg" files are warship flags. Naval ships will use those and so will you if you're a privateer or a naval officer. Each file shows all the naval flags for one period: "shpflg1.tga.tx" is for "Early Explorers", "shpflg2.tga.tx" is for "Spanish Main", and...

    BNH and MNH questions

    That's fine provided someone familiar with BNH is reading the Maelstrom forum and can answer. Otherwise perhaps move BNH posts to another thread in the BNH section?

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    1: There are also some ships in "Story.c" whose names need to be translated. Attached are "Story.c" and "TempQuest.c" with 'TranslateString' added to ship names, and Russian "storyline_strings.txt" with all the new ship names, though those are still in English. 2: It shouldn't be there...

    BNH and MNH questions

    Not sure. "New Horizons" has it as an option during installation. Maelstrom might do the same, or it might give a choice some other way, or it might not have the choice - I don't have Maelstrom so I don't know. You'll want to ask about that in the BNH section: Beyond New Horizons
