    Poll Idea: modifying certain freeplay characters to make them more unique

    So, lately I've been trying to expand on certain freeplay characters - particularly the main characters in the stock game and those from the POTC films, by giving them unique starting conditions. This has been done with help from @Grey Roger . The idea is this: if I'm going to select "Cutler...

    Need Help Modifiyng Freeplay

    Would it be possible to make Freeplay a little more unique by putting in particular starting locations, skills, officers, etc. for each model that's chosen? Seeing Malcolm Hatcher talk to Cutler Beckett and him starting out with hardly any wealth, for example, is a little bit of a letdown. I've...

    Discussion Attempt at "ship battle simulator"

    With @Grey Roger 's help, I managed to make a rudimentary "battle simulator" where you can easily build a fleet of 4 from the start and face off against 4 enemy ships in Cozumel/Khael Roa. This has been on my mind for quite a while and I thought of sharing this with any of those who are also...

    Where to find rank of NPC's?

    Greetings, I'd like to ask which file I should look into to determine the rank generated for NPCs such as town guards and enemy captains in sea encounters? And also others like bandits, cave guards, townspeople, etc. Also - is there a way that I could set an existing character at a specific...

    Need Help Resizing ships?

    Greetings, Is there an easy way to resize the ship models? I've heard there's been a blender plugin released, but I'm ignorant as to how to get it to work, or even download it. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Need Help AI is ludicrously dumb

    This will be the last time I'll make a thread in this forum for some time (maybe a week or so) since I've apparently been the only one spamming it recently... So far, sea battles have been incredibly disappointing. I am using the Constitution and am DOMINATING an HMS Victory. We start off a...

    Unconfirmed Bug Annoying mast glitch

    Not sure if anyone has experienced this before, but this really frequently happens when a ship gets demasted, and it's worst I think when using the Constitution frigate. Whenever this happens, I notice that when I change my flag in Relations, the game crashes and says "abnormal program...

    Discussion Several questions about the mod

    I've decided to simply post a single thread where I can ask all my questions about the mod instead of cluttering up the forums with them. I hope this is fine with you. 1 - Where did some sounds go? I noticed there are no hurt/death/slash sounds. And it seems to me the footsteps have become much...

    Need Help Enemy ships have the same level as me

    Just a brief question, in my Internal Settings the "#define START_DIFF_SHIPCAP" is set to 0, so as I understand it, the enemy crew's level does not depend on mine. However, when I level myself up through cheats to 300+, the enemy's level also scales up to mine. I find this out when I board...

    Need Help Black Pearl no smoke and no skeletons?

    Hi all, I'm trying out the Black Pearl now, it seems that it is in its cursed form (with torn sails) however, I notice that it's not having fog around it. Also, at night, the crew appear as normal humans and not as skeletons. Is there a fix for this? I remember fighting it before in the final...

    POTC galleon accuracy

    Hi all, Is the POTC galleon model based on any particular real life galleon design? They are freakishly large (64 metres) and seem to be based on early 17th century designs. After doing some research on Manila galleons though, it appears some of the biggest galleons built by Spain kind of...

    Need Help Is there a way to get rid of the random armed people?

    Greetings all, Is there a way to toggle off the random armed citizens you encounter in towns/jungles? I actually have more in mind about altering the mod, but I think this is the one I want to figure out the most. Thanks!

    Need Help Bartolomeu quest problem

    Hi all, I'm doing the Bartolomeu quest and I didn't pay the smuggler his 35,000 after 10 days. I read that when you exit the store Emilio Soares talks to you. However, he does not. Does this mean I cannot continue the quest? Is the quest broken if you don't pay the 35,000? I recall not paying...

    Discussion Santisima trinidad galleon

    I have relatives living near Bagatao Island, Philippines and apparently their ancestors hailed from there. Incidentally, the so-called Santísima Trinidad y Nuestra Señora del Buen Fin (Spanish ship Santísima Trinidad (1751) - Wikipedia was one of the largest of the Manila galleons and was...

    Discussion Free Play?

    I was just wondering what you guys do on Free Play? I usually enjoy designing my character but am kind of clueless on how to proceed once the game starts. I think it's because there's no main quest to do. Does anyone have ideas on how to make this game mode fun? Does each "type" (Sailor, Rebel...

    DXInit The operation is not supported

    I just installed the original Sea Dogs game out of curiosity. It launched fine, until I tried changing the resolution from 800 x 600 in the settings. When I did that, the screen went black, and I had to exit from desktop. From that time on the EXE file keeps sending this message "The operation...

    Need Help Game suddenly keeps crashing

    Ok, so I've been playing the latest version of NH these days pretty much properly with the Intel fix/DGVoodoo add-on. This time however, after I created a new Freeplay character (rogue) and saved the game once, when I re-loaded the save (because when I went to the church for some reason the...

    Bug My own fort fired at me

    After taking Guadelope, I assign a governor and gunner from my officers, and go back to my ships, and fly a Neutral flag. Then the fort fires at me! This is insanely annoying. My own fort fire at me?! What's going on here? Apologies for my rage, I hope you understand...

    Discussion Flying Dutchman origin?

    Whose idea was it to have Hendrick van der Decken be the original captain of the Flying Dutchman? At first, I was just like everyone else, with no clue of the original legend, but man does it open up a realm of possibilites in the Pirates of the Caribbean verse in my opinion. After a bit of...

    Size of Pearl and Dutchman?

    I want to say these models are absolutely fantastic...I especially like that the Pearl has the mist from the film. Just one thing though, are their sizes accurate? The Pearl now is much smaller than the stock version, which is understandable as the original was huge. However, she is only over...
