I just installed this mod, its very very fun but theres some few things i want to be changed but i dont know how.

First is, what is Direct Sail? i read what it was but i dont get it
Second, the sailing is a lil bit too slow and realistic, can i change that to make my ship go faster, cuz i sail at like 6 sometimes and when i get into battle, the ship is so far away i cant catch up and i stay in that 1 battle for about 15 minutes doing nothing.
Third, any way to make the cannons reload faster? takes real long time

and my turning is really slow, and the starting speed of sailin is slow
last is that my game is like has a different voice dialouge instead of english, when i change cannon and stuff i hear a guy say something in a different language, any way to change back to english?

ohh and if i enter a battle thats in the sea with more than like 6 ships going at once, how do i leave if i dont want to battle anymore? because i kill 1 ship, takes like anohter 15 to kill another, its too realistic, i wanna tweak this a bit.
 
press 'R' to up 3x, 'G' to speed up 10x, and 'R' to return to normal speed again.

directsail can be used to sail to another island in 3D sailing mode. if you're not the patient type, simply use the world map.
 
ok thnx, now what about the different language voices, how can i put it back ti english, and how do i make my ship reload faster?
 
the sound thing is something that probably went wrong in the installation procedure. are you sure it isn't english? it's pretty hard to understand what's said, so i wouldn't be surprised if it's english after all. for instance: firing gives the sound OOOOOOOOOOAP!, changing the ammo gives someone saying 'load guns with ... aye, captain.' in a REALLY low voice. loading them with chainshot gives a slightly muddled up track, so it can be pretty strange to hear. they have the most horrible accents. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

as for the cannons, hire a gunner with high cannon skill and plenty of cannon-related abilities, and you'll see that it goes fast enough. giving yourself the pre-reloading ability really boosts it, and you need only two ability points to get it. if an officer has that ability, you can't use it, so you need to get it yourself.
 
yeah the sounds def not english, but the locals is english, when my crew speaks, it does say OOOOOOOAP! when firing but when loading its totally completely different, its like french or russian.
 
well, someone else can surely help with that. i think that thomas would be a good help with this.
 
yeah thomas help me! yeah when i goto into the world sea, i hear the voice sayin like j'aime le up or w/e, ill try to record it next time.
 
you could also upload the file if you can find it. it should be somewhere in the sound directory.
 
yeah ok heres the sounds, they sound russian. thats all the sounds in my sounds foilder, theres no english ones, so yeah those are what im hearin, the second sound is in hte soldiers folder, and i went thru all folders no english
 
well, it's definatly russian. and i do have those. i think that you simply installed stuff in the wrong place.
 
Don`t you have to run the runme.bat? I haven`t played POTC since months *I know, i am a sinner* I am more busy with modding the graphical shit out of AOP. so i have no idea!
 
yes, you do. there was also something with preset.bat but i wouldn't do anything with that unless you really know what you're doing.
 
i ran the runme but still nothing, i just check the update 14 alpha 6, all the sound files are russian in there o_O

Hi Piratey - as loaded the sound files (voices) are what you call Russian - I thought they were Nordic, but that is by the way - The English dialog is there, ( see sounds\interface\evlanO.wav etc. and I can play these outside the program) but as downloaded the program does not "point" to them.
I do see that CCCDirectSail calls PlaySound ("sail_ho") but haven't been able to trace "what that calls" (if you see what I mean).
I think it is just a manner of pointing to the correct language but, I am not smart enough to tell you how to do this, but perhaps Morgan or someone else can help.
 
How to get the dutchman? i see it in the ship map wich is in the program folder. does it really looks like the duthcman or does it looks like another vessel?
 
the current dutchman is a reskinned galleon. you might meet it someday. i have seen it several times already.
