    Mods and Restarting the game

    Like Catalina I don't mind starting a new game, in fact one evening I started a new game three times just because I wanted to change somethings. I actually managed to play POTC for the first time in a month or more today and it took me a while to `re-learn` all of the controls. IIRC NK has...

    What do pirates pay for earrings?

    A pirate walks into a bar with this enormous steering wheel stuck down his pants. The bartender can’t help but ask, “What’s with the steering wheel?” “Arrrrr" the pirate answers, “it’s drivin’ me nuts.” <img...

    Realistic Boarding

    Also the problem with these different "maps" would be that there are 49 ships in the standard Build 11 with the Gunboat mod installed. To make it realistic you would need to make 2401 different "maps" to reflect the number of different possibile ship boarding encounters that might crop up...

    From memory (as I've not used it for a year or more) when you open a file the left hand pane is in HEX and the right is the HEX translated into ASCII Just use the search function to find tga and it whould highlight the found text in both panes and in the right hand pane you can see that tga is...

    Need a Build11 Save

    Can you be more specific about which good ship you are talking about? Also are you running any other mods? As the saved game is mod specific. The only ship that is unlocked by any quest is the Mefisto and that is in a side quest. It is possible to edit the BuildSettings.h file so that you...

    Mods Advice.....

    I recommend downloading Catalina's excellent Fred Bob quest and here's a link to some details for it: <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic2536.php" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic2536.php</a> Also get hold of JMV's French and Spanish packs that are also on the Mod...

    I've used this freeware hex editing program in the past: <a href="http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html" target="_blank">http://www.hhdsoftware.com/hexeditor.html</a> Hopefully it should be good enough for the job.

    Unfixed Bugs in Build v11

    You only need the Build 11 files. I believe that if you install Build 10.1 first and then Build 11 directly over it then that potentially cause problems. You also don't need the NK Build European patch as that is included in the Build 11 and installing that will cause problems. I suggest that...

    French Pirate in the Tavern

    The convoy is in a clearing the other side of Greenford. You could try to go there and see if you can intercept the convoy, failing that you will have to return to a previous save.

    Up to modding items again

    If you are using the Build then you'll have to enter the properties for the new sword twice in the initItems.c file. This is so that people can use it if they are using Scheffnow's Weapons Mod and if they have got that mod disabled.

    is there a way to slow the camera move speed during sailing?

    You're welcome, and I think that I'll make that change as well. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

    is there a way to slow the camera move speed during sailing?

    I could be wrong but in the PROGRAMSEA_AI folder there is a file called AICameras.c that controls the cameras at sea. I think that the following entries control this particular view. <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->// Ship camera paramerets...

    Build 12 leaders - who are they?

    It sound good to me... but me as a bus driver on B12? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I'm certainly not a driver, I'm more like the fat kid at the back that shouts out...

    Game crash engine.exe crash, V11 installed, more problems!!

    Ok here's a few suggestions that might help you. 1. Disable `Anti-Aliasing`, this is in the advanced features of your graphics card. 2. Try the Omega drivers for your graphics card. The standard drivers are well known for causing problems with POTC. These drivers can be found here: <a...

    Suggestion for a Merchant mod that would really help me out

    That's an excellent suggestion. The easiest way would be to use what is so far my one and only mod that sells all unequipped weapons along with some of the more useless booty when you use the Sell All button. It is currently on the Pirates Ahoy FTP server here: <a...

    POTC 2+3

    Possibly so Amos. They are going to film them back to back and current rumous on the films are: 1. Johnny Vegas has signed on for role in one or both films. 2. They might stray away from the Caribbean, possibly into Thailand. 3. Keith Richards may or may not be in as Jack Sparrow's father...

    Might as well ask... even if i suspect I know the answer

    Unfortunately Scarborough is a little too far for some rum in a gay bar called the Jolly Roger <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I wonder is the owner of the bar is...

    Hotkeys

    There are three ways that you could add this option. The hard way would involve modifying the game so that you could have two blades equiped at the same time and just draw which one you wanted. I have no idea how to do this as this is way beyond my feeble programming skills and even if someone...
