    [HELP] Finding Sails

    I made a few sails a while back, and since then, my computer had to be wiped due to a virus, and I lost it all. Does anyone have those sails I made, or a link? A white sail with a red circle with spikes A red and black vertical striped sail A red and gold vertical striped sail. There may...

    [HELP] Can't take curacao

    I've taken quite a few cities in my career as a pirate, in hopes of making every single town a pirate town. But I'm trying to take curacao, and all I can do is take the ransom and leave. It won't let me capture the city and make it my own. So...yeah...why can't I take curacao? I've tried three...

    [HELP] Grow up!

    I like to hire other captains as officers. Now normally, it's easy as pie with a little savescumming, but lately, all the captains say when I ask if they want to be my officer or join my fleet is, "With you? Grow up, first!" My fleet isn't full, nor is my officer pool, so what's up with that?

    [HELP] Deserted Town

    I just took over port royale under the pirate faction, and, even after waiting 15 days, including the transition from one month to the next, the town is abandoned. No citizens, no shopkeeps, no bartender, no pirate guards, no nothing. It looks just like it did after I walked out of the...

    The 7 most terrifying pirates from history

    Read about some seriously scary pirates, courtesy of Cracked Magazine's website. http://www.cracked.com/article_19353_the-7-most-terrifying-pirates-from-history.html Three of these guys are in SMP!, which kinda makes that game slightly creepier. ;)

    CoAS runs too fast!

    I know what you're thinking after reading the topic title: lolwut? It's true. I recently had to wipe and redo my machine, and when I got coas installed and the combinedmod all up and everything, I ran it for the first time and it runs too fast, like time is sped up. It doesn't do it smoothly...

    Diary of an unanswered question

    I guess my questions keep getting lost in the flood of posts into each topic I ask something in. In fact, the only acknowledgement of my existence I've recieve in the last month was for when I helped someone else with a question they had. You guys are probably just busy with other stuff and...

    NPC Reputation

    As you know, when you hire an npc to be on your crew, they start out with a set reputation that never changes. (swindler, hero, regular sailor, etc) I know that this is a randomly decided attribute due to the fact that the same unique npc (captains) will have differing reputations from one...

    3 textures 1 ship part deux

    This is kinda weird. I'm trying to give myself the red and white corvette, but all three hull folders have a generic-looking tan one. I DID find the red (and the blue and gold) one in what appears to be a secondary texture file in the same place as the main one, and I said ok no problem, I'll...

    Everyone hates me

    I'm pretty far into my game as peter blood now. I've got a price on my head from england as they ticked me off when they sold me into slavery, so I've been sinking their ships. But I'm neutral with everyone else. I've even been doing some of the dutch governor missions. Suddenly, a few months...

    Changing 3rd person ship camera

    I have a widescreen monitor and I edited the options file so CoAS runs in 16x10. The only problem this causes is that the chase camera in the 3rd person ship view is 'mounted' quite high and it's difficult to see all of my ship at once. I looked around for a solution on this forum, but didn't...

    CoAS Running too fast

    I'm having a very odd problem with my computer lately. I recently wiped and re-installed everything, and since then several games (including CoAS) have been running TOO fast. A weird complaint, I know, so allow me to explain. So far it does it on CoAS, sim city 4 and descent 3. What happens is...

    Should we support other Naval games?

    I love pirate games as much as anyone else here, but there's plenty of great naval combat games out there that don't involve oceanic thievery. Here's a few examples: PT Boats - Akella - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWVgB_954bY Sins of a Solar Empire - Ironclad -...

    Totem problem in Tenoctitlan quest

    I was doing the tenochtitlan quest the other day (I think the skull sucks, but you have to do it to get the shotgun later) and I encountered a problem where after I kill the natives in some of the rooms, I can't place the totem in the center of the room. It doesn't even give me the little hand...

    Sink the flying dutchman!

    I was just snooping around on youtube and found this video. I can tell this is the first encounter because the dutchman is heavily damaged when the battle first starts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBrOADVez40 So apparently is IS possible to sink the flying dutchman the first time you...

    One Ship=Three textures

    Here's a thought: Let's say I wanted to modify the rpgutilite.c file to give myself a frigate upon starting a new game. Easy. Everyone knows that trick. But the frigate has 3 different 'skins' (texture sets) that are assigned randomly upon spawning of a frigate. There's a tan/red one, a...

    Savegame Editor

    Does a savegame editor exist for CoAS? Or maybe a hex editor is used for that kind of stuff? Please keep replies constructive or to yourself.

    The Wind Guessing Game

    I hope this hasn't been talked about yet. if it has, I sure didn't see it. It really annoys me how the wind direction in the map and sea modes are different. I can be running with the wind in the map mode, come across a ship I want to attack, and when I get into sea mode the wind is blowing...
