    How to mod?

    Yeah but they would still have to be repacked in to fpk files...which I think can be done... Would you mind checking into the possibility of "sharing" the resources? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio"...

    Anybody figured out dancing?

    I know...I'm dreading it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> No need to get a USB pad tho, I can just remap the keys to WSAD or something.

    How to mod?

    HD, Keith. To be precise: on the LE DVD, among the extras you can add to the game besides additional sails and flags is a "mod" file that adds some extra characters to taverns. This file just gets dumped in your Custom folder and thus activates this mod. In the Assets folder on the HD there...

    How to mod?

    Problem is that mods for Pirates are those fpk files, which are compressed archives of scripts and graphics, etc. I've been looking all day and can't find anywhere online that tells me how to extract/open them, then repack 'em! Until we can do this, or unless we get the sdk, we're sunk. I LOVE...

    Anybody figured out dancing?

    I'm playing on my laptop so I don't have the number keypad. Thus I'm forced to use the mouse. The best way I've found is to watch ONLY the keypad icon in the lower right. It's like playing Simon. Watch for a direction button to light up and click on it as fast as you can. I began my first dance...

    Yankee checks in on the game - my thoughts!

    Yeah!I just had that happen for the first time - I took a Spanish Treasure Galleon and afterwards my men sang Blow The Man Down! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" /> Now...

    Choosing eras, skills and difficulty

    Once you type your name, hit the next arrow and the choices become active. You can't change the era unless you change the difficulty setting to something other than Apprentice. Took me a few tries to figure that out.

    errr... How do you purchase new ships?

    Not yet. I think you may have to seize them all at sea.

    Anyone know how to open/use the FPK files?

    GRRRRRRR! So I downloaded a nice little FPK Extractor tool, but when I try to open the FPK files, it says they are all invalid...which I assume is some sort of protection setting on the file. I MUST Crack these suckers open! <img...

    Yankee checks in on the game - my thoughts!

    Because tobacco isn't politically correct. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" /> Damn! I was pissed at that too. I'm still digging around for a way to mod that in.

    What a Game. Simply Amazing

    I maxed all the settings and it plays great - looks great too!

    Anyone know how to open/use the FPK files?

    That is the key to modding. For example, the Limited Ed. I have comes with an extra .fpk file that putting in your Custom folder cause new characters to appear in some taverns. Anyone know where to begin? I have lots of ideas, I just need the proper tools. I did a lot of modding in Morrowind...

    My small mod plan - need info.

    The first thing I want to do to tweak SMP is to reactivate the missing Tobacco trade, and to possibly add Slaves as another commodity. Two VITAL aspects of the 17th century Caribbean that need to be there, imo. Problem is I can't seem to find the appropriate file to change...anyone try this yet...

    Limited Edition DVD Content?

    Ahoy Paul! Josh here. To use the special content, you just copy it from the folder into the Custom folder. Music goes in the sounds folder.

    Yankee checks in on the game - my thoughts!

    Oh DAMN it's a thing of beauty!! I am just blown away with the quality of the game, it plays seamlessly from one setting to another. I'm impressed with how much of the original game has remained intact. I hope you boys are using headphones or stereo speakers when you play, because the sound...

    Agh the WAITING!!!

    <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":kev" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> Bad day to be Canadian, <i>eh?</i> Are you close enough to the USA to drive over the border and pick up Pirates in a state? I got my...

    Agh the WAITING!!!

    My Order Status page at EB Games still says "Waiting For Product"...so it's not even shipped yet!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" /> Ugh. Oh well I'm too busy...

    pirate fiction?

    Aye, Cup of Gold is excellent. Kind of short, and it also is evident that Steinbeck was no seafaring expert - he kind of glosses over the seafaring aspect of Morgan's raids, but it's still EXCELLENT. Trust me!

    No Gore!? Why not the favored "Minor Menu"?

    This game is to be a family affair, something Dad & the Kids can play together. Pure fun & adventure, Indiana `Jones-style`. I think it takes a lot more effort and creativity to design a title like this will be than to use shock value as a selling factor. With that said, I'm all for violent...
