    WHO was the greatest Admiral again???

    7th Greatest Dutchman in history, according to a TV program. (rip-off from Great Britons). Of course that's all rubbish, considering a football player is higher on the list. He's my #1! :) Funny fact: I read a wiki article about him yesterday, same day as this was posted.

    Gombo/Jocard problem

    Ah thanks HP! Haven't seen that thread before. But I'm afraid I can't try again right now as I really want to complete the storyline first. I've never ever completed a storyline in PotC, AoP and CoaS... I do have an older savegame but it's from way before and I don't feel like playing through...

    Gombo/Jocard problem

    Yeah I found that out aswell, but that makes it only more strange that I had both Bos'un and Nigel walking around there. I don't have any log files in my game folder, are they stored somewhere else?

    Gombo/Jocard problem

    I'm having trouble with the "A Free Slave" quest in Hoist the Colours. I chose Gombo's side and hired him as an officer. According to the wiki walkthrough you can either go to Bonaire and then to Eleuthera or go to Eleuthera first, then Bonaire and then back to Eleuthera again. I chose the...

    Water Issue

    Now that you mention it... That hasn't happened to me anymroe since I'm using the proper bump.zap.

    Water Issue

    You're welcome! Some credit goes to you aswell, if you never asked us to make a comparison I wouldn't have discovered this. Your explanation doesn't completely make sense to me.. If this is caused by the stock file being buggy, then how can my stock game installation not have this problem...

    MInimising

    I'm not sure about how much FPS it takes but I think it starts around 400. PotC appears as Cossacks II because that game (and a whole bunch of other games) also uses the name engine.exe for it's executable. It's possible (but unnecessary) to change it with a tool called nVidia Inspector.

    Water Issue

    I would mate, but I don't think I can make it sticky. If a moderator promises to sticky I'll be happy to do it. Correct, loading screen looks pretty again.

    Water Issue

    Aye matey, Tortuga indeed.. Let's have us some more! Pieter, here's the report you requested: http://home.online.nl/wanadslonno/PA!/PB/b13-b14b1_report.rar I also uploaded bump.zap for those who don't have B13: http://home.online.n...!/bump.zap_b13/bump.zap.rar

    Water Issue

    Looks like I found the file that causes the problem. It's bump.zap located in \RESOURCE\Textures\WEATHER\SEA\BUMP_G3 The version in B13 is 1.28MB and the one in B14 is 992kB. So I copied the larger one from B13 to my stock->b14b1->b14b1p6 installation and the water looks good. WinMerge is still...

    Water Issue

    Working on it right now. May take some time as I'm short on space on my HDD and my stock PotC folder is NTFS-compressed so copying it takes more time. In the meanwhile I'm comparing my previous b14patch6 folder with the one that includes b13. You probably know best but wouldn't that be better...

    If you have the buildingset mod enabled you can build some forrests and/or farms on a shore somewhere. Each time you visit them for taxcrops you can either take half of it or take it all. Taking half of it will increase your reputation by 1 per farm/forrest whilst taking it all will decrease...

    Water Issue

    It's just the "Loading Savegame..." screen that is now in Russian, the others are still intact so I really cba to fix it.

    Water Issue

    Forgot about ModDB Thanks matey! Update 3: Installed Build 13 Final, then Build 14 beta 1 and then Build 14 Patch 6 Full and the sea looks normal again! (My loading screen is now also in Russian) My savegame from stock game + b14 + b14p6 still seems to work. All hail Legendary_Spider for...
