    Planned Feature Town under attack

    This thread is a bit old but I was just thinking about this after capturing a French town. What if, after you capture a town, other nations can attack/naval blockade it and you would get a letter from your town's governor/fort commander 1 month before the attack to join the defense (because...

    Distance from enemy ship for victory/escape

    Hi, There's an "issue" with the victory conditions when you are in a battle on the sea. If your cannons are 32 lb you can still reach the enemy ships and shot them but there's no battle going on, you can go into the worldmap from there because they are very far away. It's a bit weird when you...

    Drastically reduce chance of Pirate encounter in friendly ports

    Hi Pieter, There is a value in the InternalSettings.h called "COASTRAIDER_CHANCE", it's a float value but it affects all types of ships, not only pirates but merchants too. By default it's 0.2 and the minimum is 0.1 for minimum pirates or 0.0 for no ships at all. That's a way of dealing with...

    Drastically reduce chance of Pirate encounter in friendly ports

    Just finished playing and while I was attacking a French town I could see pirates nearby (I also took some cool screenshots!). I think they shouldn't appear near towns if their ships aren't strong enough (tier 2 and 1 only). Two tier 1 pirate ships may even destroy the fort if lucky (the AI...

    Solved Disabiling Sound Files

    It is indeed bizarre. Now it's at -60 dB so it's complete silence and the canon sound is ok. But my file is 1.21 MB. It's not too big either because when I export the original one after making the changes, it's 2.29 MB and it works fine.

    Solved Disabiling Sound Files

    No, it's another file. This one is a 2 second file called "CannonReload-002" and only has the screaming in it.

    Solved Disabiling Sound Files

    Hi, I wanted to disable the voice that screams before firing and so I made an empty file and replace the old one as suggested but it also disabled the canon sound for some reason. So my solution for that was to just take the existing file ( make a backup just in case) and apply a 20 dB...

    Screenshots thread

    A random battle with some Spanish merchant convoy after a stormy day. Edit: I just activated antialiasing and anisotropic filter (which I didn't even think about all these years) and man, what a difference! From this To this Look at those ropes! Next screenshots will be way more...

    Solved Can't see screenshots

    Hello, I'm trying to take some screenshots ( F8 right?) and they appear in the game folder but all of them have the same size and they are blank, just a white background. I would love to take some screenshots but I don't want to print screen and exit every single time. Any idea why this...

    Solved Can't change crew uniform

    Oh but that's now, when I started the game it was very different! The beginning was very slow as combat is difficult and you can't go and kill everyone so I did a lot of missions (trader missions and escorting). After a while I bought a new ship to transport a lot of cargo because I found a...

    Solved Can't change crew uniform

    Sure! For now I'm just a normal English captain doing missions here and there and looking for more powerful French/Spanish ships to steal :pirates Last encounter was with a French scratch patrol with 3 1st rate (one of them was the Soleil Royal, which I really want to capture) and some other...

    Discussion Build 14 Beta 4.1 WIP: What's the Verdict?

    Hi Pieter, I just got back into the game after a while (played beta 3.0) and even though it's still the same mod for the same game it feels so different! There is a lot of new stuff and the game keeps getting better. I can't thank you enough for this. If it wasn't for you guys, we wouldn't have...

    Solved Can't change crew uniform

    Hi Tingyun, Oh that's a shame, it makes sense though. The post I read was from 2014 so it was pretty old. Thanks for the help to both of you! :)

    Solved Can't change crew uniform

    Yes, by crew I mean the crew on my ship, not my officers. When boarding or just going around the ship, they still have the normal clothes.
