    The Temple On Hispañola

    I've been playing this game, with the mod, for more years than I care to count. I don't recall ever stumbling across a temple on Hispañola before. Whether it's a recent addition or something I've missed for nearly twenty years, it's a fun find. My question is: is it worth exploring, vis-à-vis...

    WIP Adding Crew Damage to Rigging Attack

    In PotC: On Stranger Tides, we saw and heard how Blackbeard's sword would not only take over and ruin the rigging, but kill a portion of the enemy crew as well. I intend to use the musket volley code as a baseline and see if I can develop a reasonable facsimile of this. The trick will be keeping...

    A bit of overdue praise

    I bought the base game soon after it hit the market. It was, to be honest, a mess. But the community stepped up and started modding the game into something wonderful. To this day, I find things that leave me gobsmacked. Capabilities that weren't present in the rushed-released game. To wit: I...

    Solved GLITCH: Weirdly floating wreck in Tortuga harbour

    Tortuga and weirdness go hand in hand, but this was a surprise even for me: You can see off to the left where part of a carriage is sticking out of the wall about five feet off the ground also. Has anyone else had this happen?

    Discussion A question regarding ship hunting

    Ship hunting has become a favourite pastime for me. I'll jump at the chance to take on unfriendly ships, and refuse to hunt any from countries with whom I have friendly relations (I've got a cozy relationship with Spain and France that benefits me much). A problem arises when the governor...

    A Heartfelt Thank You

    Whoever scripted the scenario when you're on Tortuga and a fat friar goes running for his life with a skeletal pirate in hot pursuit, thank you. You have no idea how much I needed the laugh. It's inspired, it's brilliant, it's hilarious, and I bloody love it to death.

    Discussion What Arrrrr Ye Reading? A Place to Discuss the Piratical Tomes You're Perusing

    I'm halfway through "The Golden Age of Piracy: The Truth Behind Pirate Myths" by Benerson Little. It's the fourth book of his I've read, and he's doing a fine job of casting the harsh light of fact on many of the pirate myths and tall tales we thought were facts. As a historian, this work is...

    Dialogue Review

    Would there be any objections to my reviewing and correcting some of the game dialogue? There's some pretty atrocious ! stuff ! in , there . that needs attention . It may seem like a minor thing, but I can personally attest that it blows me right out of the storyline.

    When approaching Tortuga...

    Apparently one needs to drop out of the map view outside of the bay and immediately hoist the black flag before sailing in. Otherwise, they'll try very hard to blow your bum off. The more you know, eh?

    Solved Invasion of the Beach Balls?

    Has anyone seen this happen before? It's a clean install with the ENB enhanced graphics.

    Updated Build 14.1 Installer progress

    Well, slap me thrice and hand me to my mama! After consolidating all the changes and additions you lot have made to the base game, it comes to an astonishing amount indeed. 10.5 gigabytes! No wonder the game has been transformed so completely. And wondrously well, I might add. I definitely...

    Solved Compile error on startup

    OK, this one has me stymied. I started over with a completely fresh install of PotC, then installed the latest Build 14 (beta 4,1) files with the extra fix archive. I am rewarded for my efforts with an error every attempted launch -- error.log COMPILE ERROR - file: characters\characters.h...

    Long time, no sea...

    You could have knocked me over with a feather when I found out this board is still up and lively as ever! It's been ages since I've been in these waters, and it's gratifying to see some familiar faces still around. I'm hoping one or two of you remember me. Getting reacquainted is going to be...
