    Engine Limitation Ships Surrendering

    I'm having an issue where when I'm engaging a group of ships and I get one to surrender, they all turn gray. I'm not able to board any of the other ships other than the surrendered one, but if I fire on the other ships, I get big reputation hits. Is there a way to keep the other ships as active...

    Solved Smuggling in Cartagena

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could provide some assistance. I took a job in Cartagena for smuggling. It told me to go to the Dolphin Sands. I have sailed up and down the coast and haven't been able to find any such place. If I go too far to the east, I end up in Aruba. Could someone give me a...

    Solved "W" doesn't work for sailing

    Got a question. I had a brig and was able to capture an English Galleon. I went to port and fixed the galleon and was going to use it is my main ship. It is a level 4 and I have the ability to sail level four ships. Whenever I try to go to sea, I can never get the sails to go down when I push...

    Artwork

    OK, I have to ask, who finds all the artwork for the Build 14? The painting that is used for the main menu screen is especially cool! Good job to whoever finds them.

    Graphical glitches

    I've been getting very strange graphical problems with Build 14 and maybe its just my imagination, but it seems to have gotten worse with the latest patch. I get random colors that take up half the screen and blink very fast. I snapped some screenshots until I caught it. Has anyone else had...

    Walking on ship decks

    In my game, the Lydia and Batavia don't have proper collision detection, when I walk on the deck it seems like I am walking on another ships deck. Do others have this problem with these ships? What program is used to fix this? Does this come from the walk file or the path file?

    The Historical Ships Mod

    I just uploaded to the FTP a new mod that overhauls the ships in POTC. Here are the highlights of what this fixes. 1. It places all ships into 8 classes. Class 8 is Tartanes, Class 7 is historically unrated ships. Class 6 to 1 are all the historical ships organized as they should rated by...

    Ship Classes

    Other than the amount of work that would have to go into it, is there anything in the game that would prevent us from rating ships as they actually were in real life? Class 1 would be ships 100 guns and over, 3rd rate would be 64-80 guns, 6th rate 20-28 guns, etc. All ships below 20 guns would...

    Working on ships_init.c

    Does anyone know what this code is for? refShip.RigType = "Gat" I am trying to understand the rigging code better, but this doesn't seem to go with any ship unless is overrides the "Fri" rigtype for frigates. Anyone have any ideas on this?

    Jack Sparrow Quest

    Hi all, I have another question on this quest. I killed Brock in the house next to the shipyard. I walked back to the tavern and met Annamaria. She gave me part of the map and ran off. It never updated the questbook. I went into an talked to Beckett and then I got a quest to go to Jamaica...

    Ship without icon

    I just captured the ship with the model ConvoiShip1 and now that I have it, it says it is a Dutch Two Decker, but does not show an icon of a ship in the ship screen when I hit F2. Any ideas why this wouldn't be showing? I looked in the ship_init.c file, but it has been awhile since I messed...

    Character Stats

    Got a few questions regarding Build 14. I am playing the Jack Sparrow quest. My character has check marks next to melee and luck, what do those mean? Also, it says that his is rated 2 - 1 for his sailing, it seems like his base is 2 but for some reason he is at 1, I have looked at the items he...

    Boarding Question

    Hey everyone! I haven't been around in awhile, but it is awesome to see everything going strong here. Got a question for you on Build 13 Final. I just reinstalled it and went out pirating. The first ship I attacked surrendered to me. When I got on the deck, I went to talk to the captain who was...

    Puzzle Pirates

    I'm going to guess this has already been discussed, but does anyone play puzzle pirates? I found out about it from bilgemonkey's website and have been having a blast at it. I suck at it, of course, but it is alot of fun with tons of cool puzzles to mess around with. I tend to spend alot of time...

    The Main Quest

    Just wondering how many times all of you have completed the main quest? Believe it or not, I have only finished it one time, after I finished it, I got into modding and testing and have never gotten past saving the old crazy man since. I do spend quite a bit of time doing other things, but I...

    SkillUp System

    Could Maximus let us know exactly what increases each skill? The system seems to work well, but certain areas never seem to increase. I got cannons increasing pretty regularly with fighting so much, but I also sail alot, and that never seems to go up. Leadership went up after talking to a random...

    The Ketch

    I have recently been sailing the Ketch that was recently put in the game on the realistic settings. It seems that it follows the rigging settings for a full rigged ship instead of a sloop. Has anyone else experienced this? My sails begin luffing soon after I turn halfway toward the wind. In a...

    VCO ships in POTC

    Well, I downloaded the client for VCO and attempted to port one of the ships into POTC and figured I would give you my report. The ship hulls works fine, but no masts appear, I'm guessing there are no locators for masts. Someone familar with modeling could probably answer that. The main problem...

    Money from Capturing ships

    What part of code would I need to change to alter the amount of money that can be gotten from surrendering captains? I found some code that appears to be a modifier for it in the cabinfight_dialog.c file: switch(Rand(5)) { case 0: NPChar.wealth = sti(NPChar.money)*2.3; break; case 1...

    Realistic Sailing

    Well, I finally took Hook's advice and have been playing with realistic sailing. It is unbelievable how much it changes the game dynamics. Square rigged ships are no longer the optimal vessel. Sloops an Xebecs seem to be much better. IMHO, it makes the game alot more fun and requires alot more...
