Hi all.
Here you have my mod for realistic spyglasses.
Can be used with a saved game (just use the "I")
Returns unaccurate info.
To use it, substitute the file C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean\PROGRAM\BATTLE_INTERFACE\ispyglass.c
and add this code to BuildSettings.h (it's also attached)
//**********KBLACK SPYGLASS MOD SECTION****************************************
//---- Makes the info given by spyglasses unaccurate and depending of distance
// (all nautical terms are in spanish - except those I know in English)
#define KBSPG 3 // Define the behaviour about the mod
// Values
// 0: Deactivate mod
// 1: "Fun" settings of parameters (not too hard, for beginners)
// 2: "Realistic" set of parameters (values as near as reality as it can, adjusted to the distances of the game
// 3: "Hard" set of parameter - for experts - very few info, very inaccurate, need to close
// 4: Fine tuning - the mod will use the values settes below
//------------- KBSPG - Fine tuning section (set by default to "Fun" ) ---------
