Have All Nations At War With Me At Beginning

[longplaynoob]

Hi all, I recently had an idea to try and beat the game while having all the nations at war with me. I know I could attack ships and forts but I wonder if there's a way to modify the game files so they're hostile when I start a new game. If anyone could let me know I'd appreciate it thanks

Just to be sure, this is the unmodded "Pirates of the Caribbean" which you are playing, yes?

Yes, I'm playing the base vanulla game

First, make a copy of "PROGRAM\QUESTS\quests_reaction.c" in case this goes horribly wrong. Then edit the file. Find case "begining", specifically these lines:

            SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(PIRATE, RELATION_ENEMY);
            SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(FRANCE, RELATION_ENEMY);

Add similar lines for all other nations:

            SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(ENGLAND, RELATION_ENEMY);
            SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(SPAIN, RELATION_ENEMY);
            SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(PORTUGAL, RELATION_ENEMY);
            SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(HOLLAND, RELATION_ENEMY);

The story makes other nations neutral or friendly later on. If you want to continue to be hostile to everyone:
Find case "France_becomes_neutral" and comment out this line:

SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(FRANCE, RELATION_NEUTRAL);

Find case "Story_Sink_Oiseau" and comment out this line:

SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(ENGLAND, RELATION_FRIEND);

Find case "blaze_from_prison_to_residence_complete" and comment out this line:

SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(FRANCE, RELATION_NEUTRAL);

Find case "Lucas_end" and comment out this line:

SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(SPAIN, RELATION_FRIEND);

Find case "portugal_becomes_neutral" and comment out this line:

SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(PORTUGAL, RELATION_NEUTRAL);

Thank you so much! I'll try this out later

When you say "comment out this line" does that mean to change it to enemy?

 

[Grey Roger]

No, it means change this:

SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(FRANCE, RELATION_NEUTRAL);

... to this:

// SetNationRelation2MainCharacter(FRANCE, RELATION_NEUTRAL);

Putting // in front of a line turns it into a comment. The game then ignores it. But leaving France hostile when the story wants to change it neutral might do silly things, in which case you can just delete the // and put the line back the way it was.

The same applies to the others.

Gotcha, thank you

 

[longplaynoob]

Thank you for your help, it's worked! I hope I did the rest of the coding right though, only time will tell
