New Island Mod??

[paveyj]

Is it not possible to add a new island to POTC in a mod? I know it would take a lot of work but maybe you can use an island from the original sea dogs as a base. I know nothing about modding so excuse me if im being impractical!

There are modders working on an expansion package for PotC - the PMT - and they have added new islands to the game PLUS the ones from Sea Dogs - this is a HUGE project and they have been working very hard to complete it. There is no projected release date on this because there are so many elements to it which still need to be finished. It's difficult to make any kind of prediction as to what's happening there because they are working in a closed environment. So we'll just have to wait and see...

Of course, we could ourselves try to do exactly as you say - but there are not a lot of modders here and we're all hard at work on projects that are taking up our time. We need more modelers here if we - on our own - are to do something about adding islands to the game...

Do you have any ideas you'd like to share? Perhaps something can come of those ideas. What would you like to see on a new island? What would you like to do on that island?

New ideas are ALWAYS welcome here! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Well, i was hoping to put on the island something different. Perhaps a new nation or something really odd like that island in sea dogs where the whole town was deserted! Maybe you could have an island run by emancipated slaves (formally owned by a european power).
Those are some ideas ive just cooked up in the last 5 mins, im sure other people have an endless list of things they want on a new island. SO POST THEM HERE< LADS N' LASSES

i think the thing i loved most about sea dogs was the "English" London feel to it, the inclosed smoggy like feel!

Even thoe it the carob <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" />

SeaDogs was great; I am looking forward to Akella's TRUE successor to SD - "Age of Pirates"... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Ah, that ends my confusion on the names... The screenshots to Russian magazines kept saying Korsary 2... yep, looks like a splendid game. And we ARE assured an American release, right?

I'm going to turn the Animist island into a native Karib settlement, and it'll have escaped slaves too. You just won't be able to visit the cave until you're at that point in the quest.

What I'd like to figure out is adding new beaches... I can sort of half do it but there're some bits I'm missing, and I dunno what bits or how to correct them.

Aye Alan,great idea,seems te have been a bit a waste O' island once ye done de Animist quest.I've replaced de strange house on QC wid a fortress,use'n CCC tutorial.figured all other islands had a fortress,QC should have one as well,gonna fill it wid pirate types,include'n yer 6 new skins,which all look great <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Yes, Akella is definitely going to release in English - won't be the same time as the Russian version, but it's coming. Read here for further info:

Alan whatever happened to the other island of FdF? Weren't you working on opening that up for new locations?

I `re-painted` that altar in the Animist's cave, replacing the scarab with a nice skull (can provide skin if you wish)... And I've always thought it would be great to have some of those "store displays" around - barrels of swords &tc, stuff hanging on the walls - to make those rooms kind of a "hideout" or weapons cache. Cannons, shot, guns, swords... I was going to place a bunch of gold coins all over the place, little mounds and chests full &tc... That kind of thing. Just never got into modeling... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
