How to add new items to the build?

The cormorant increases your melee skill by two, and it doesn't decrease anything, AFAIK... So it's not really a terrible burden at all (when it quits smelling, that is, LOL!).

Heh, Fred Bob, I want to know why someone would `booby-trap` a chest and lock it up and keep nothing of value in it except a dead cormorant that's really a seagull. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Aw crap, I shouldn't have sold it for such a pittace. I assumed only the items that told you they affected your stats affected them.

Any other surprises I've yet to uncover from the chests? I haven't beaten the game yet with Build11.

I've just double checked the code and in it the cormorant is known as "mineral4" and it has the following stats:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->makeref(itm,Items[n]);
itm.id = "mineral4";
itm.name = "itmname_mineral4";
itm.describe = "itmdescr_mineral4";
itm.model = "";
itm.picIndex = 4;
itm.picTexture = "ITEMS_7";
itm.skill.fencing = 2; // GreatZen
itm.skill.leadership = -2; // GreatZen
itm.skill.sneak = -2; // GreatZen
itm.skill.hidden = 1; // NK so skillch hidden
// NK -->
itm.skiptrade = true; // can only get via rand
itm.skiprand = false;
itm.skipequip = true;
// NK <--
// itm.shown = false;
itm.price = 25;
itm.minlevel =0;
itm.rare = 0.3;
n++;<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
So it does reduce your Leadership and Luck by two each. If you're just starting and need a melee boost then it may be worth keeping it, but once your fencing skill goes about 4 or 5 then it sin't worth bothering with.
 
Mo' like an albatross den a cormorant! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
Yes, that's true, Sirus, I took a look at that too. I noticed what it did when testing something else - and I was carrying luck and leadership enhancing items and didn't realize there was a deficiency.

And yes, Fred Bob, the albatross <a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/stc/Coleridge/poems/Rime_Ancient_Mariner.html" target="_blank">(Rime of the Ancient Mariner)</a> is probably what they were reaching for when they called it a cormorant. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Or do you suppose Coleridge meant a CORMORANT?!?!! <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" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

Funny, I have a photo I took of a seagull on the beach here in SoCal, and it's the exact same pose as that "cormorant" in the game (typical pose). Looks JUST like my shot. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Ever see a cormorant swimming underwater? They are like seals or otters, really fast and amazingly agile.
 
Makes sense... Anyone's leadership would suffer if he carried around a dead cormorant that thought it was a seagull, or `vice-versa`. He couldn't sneak around either, for the smell. But he'd fight like a sunuvagun Boy named Sue.

By why does it hide the skillcheck? What does that do?
 
<b>CapitainDams, </b>if you mean the textures for things such as you would find in a store or in your inventory, they are in

PotC/RESOURCE/Textures/INTERFACES/ and are called "items(number).tga.tx" There are many pics in one and are called by their position in the file. You should be able to figure the system out once you look at the pics.

HTH! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

<b>alan_smithee, </b>I don't know what the skillch does... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Maybe it makes it so you can buy items you might not already be able to buy because you don't have that skill (like the scrapper pistol or the `double-barreled` pistol). ??? No clue, just a guess. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />:
