    I Cant Board Ships!!!!

    An easier way to change the difficulty is to press F1, options, and on the bottom is difficulty level. If you unloaded a few broadsides of grape shot before boarding that could make them surrender... either that or the enemy captain thinks he has no chance of survival... like if you were...

    Napoleonic Mod -- Next step

    The answer is yes. Eventually we will. Soon: no. This year, probably not, maybe near the end. The task itself isn't really that hard. Its just a matter of getting the materials. You need maya4.5 and that is really hard to come by. I have maya5.0 but you absolutely need 4.5. 5.0 doesn't...

    Napoleonic Mod -- Next step

    I will be doing everything in my power to make the Americans... or Prusisians etc. realistic. The real question is how to make this an "Option." Not every player will want to play with or against the Americans (especially our Dutch players). The most obvious way of doing it would be placing...

    Napoleonic Mod -- Next step

    This will count as part of my research. The Dutch Fleet had for all intenstive purposes been captured by the French. Thus, there really isn't a point to keeping the Dutch, Dutch, when you could replace them with a combatant. I just want to know where support lies... what people would like to...

    Something I can't find

    I know I read this at least in the old forum, before the move to the old site... Where is the code that says what icons to use for the captains of ship encounters? Something has to tell the game to load only offic_eng for English naval vessels, well, what does it? Thanks

    Has anyone done this, or is working on this..

    To ease the size of the download you could do only `men-of`-war, no merchantmen. Afterall, only Royal Navy and English East India Company vessles used the Nelson Checker, and even then, only the big Indiamen in hte company used the paint scheme. So, you could do the Sloop, Brig, Corvette...

    Expansion Pack

    Frigate Mizzen Mast

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Rico Well, it doesn't make a difference, does it?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> In the game, no. In real life, yes. The ship can point higher into the wind.

    Frigate Mizzen Mast

    The diagonal yard is called a lateen rig. Look at the xebec, galeoth, and tartana to see different versions of the basic design. Common in the Med and very common in the 17th century. The `fore-and`-aft rigged mizzen course is much more efficient design. Good idea to change it.

    How do you make quests ?

    I was under the impression POTC was in C, not C++.

    Just another mod idea.

    Haha, some of the stories I've read of the early sea dogs in the late 16th, early 17th centuries really shows how chaotic "rank" was amongst the sailors, especially before the Royal Navy came into its own. Captains would raise a red pennent (not like the red flag pirates would use) to show that...

    3 Mod Ideas

    Well, I always figured that "Iron Will" or whatever it was called, signified flogging. Of course, simply flogging should never increase or decrease the morale of the crew nor should it affect your reputation. Historically speaking, there really isn't a standard to go by for understanding...

    3 Mod Ideas

    I don't know about that, Smithee, it was just the bad effect of a code error. How about this, instead of mutiny just being a text box that appears, how about it loads the gun deck and you have a fight. It would be those sailors still loyal against the mutineers. There could be some sort of...

    RELEASE :!! NEW english and french Skinn`s Betapack !

    Yeah, I had that problem too for a while on the skins I was doing. I finally figured out that by checking each skins head model in the gm viewer I was able to make sure the lips were placed correctly in relation to the mouth crease on the model.

    RELEASE :!! NEW english and french Skinn`s Betapack !

    The old ones I did last winter suck. No apology necessary. Even if I thought they were god's gift to this green earth, you still wouldn't need to apologize. You do with your game whatever you want. Deringer, I'll see what I can do with your Spanish Captain, but next to your abilities my...

    RELEASE :!! NEW english and french Skinn`s Betapack !

    Capo, Your plan is more right than you know. His British soldiers have white facing while my have blue. The blue signified Royal Troops. So it would make sense, from a somewhat historical point of view, that the Capital island would have royal troops, while the outlaying islands would have...

    Oh, to change your boarding party to different skins open up the nations_init.c file in your Program/nations folder. Scroll down to the bottom until you find this: <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->//Player boarding command     for(int i = 0; i <...

    I don't know about the others, but here is how you can change your officers' names. Open up seadogs.c in your program folder and find this line: <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Log_SetStringToLog("You see " + findCh.name + " " + findCh.lastname + "...

    Any chance you might still have the military skins you did? Yours are so much better than mine.
