--------------------------------------------
1. FEATURES
--------------------------------------------
This mod adds 46 new items to Age of Pirates: City of Abandoned Ships. Previously, a number of idols and trinkets existed in the game, which arbitrarily increased the skills of the player when carried. Those bonuses have been removed. In their places are 46 books. The first 42 give bonuses to each of the fourteen ship and player skills; three books totalling 60 points per skill. The remaining four books are extremely rare works focusing on the facets of Western martial arts.
Current Features:
-46 skill books, providing a sense of greater realism.
-Increased sale values of some statues and idols, making them more attractive loot.
-Potential +60 to every skill. Melee skills can all potentially gain even more.
Upcoming Features:
-Fully readable books. These will be well presented, potentially humorous, period-accurate, and in some cases, even informative.
--------------------------------------------
2. Requirements
--------------------------------------------
This mod was created for CMv3.1 with Trade Overhaul Mod 1.7. Compatibility with any other configuration is unlikely.
You should have:
-Age of Pirates: City of Abandoned Ships
-Combined Mod Version 3 Patch 1
-Trade Overhaul Mod 1.7
--------------------------------------------
3. INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------------
Copy the RESOURCE and Program folders to your Age of Pirates: City of Abandoned Ships folder. In Windows XP, the default location is:
C:\Program Files\Playlogic\Age of Pirates 2
In Windows 7, the default location is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Playlogic\Age of Pirates 2
A I have never willingly used Vista, I do not know where the default install directory is.
There are two versions of initItems.c included in this. Byr default, realistic spyglasses are OFF. If you would like to turn it on, you will need to rename "initItems_REALISTIC.c" to initItems.c and replace the existing file.
--------------------------------------------
4. THANKS AND CREDITS
--------------------------------------------
Darkhymn would like to thank FireBat for allowing him to be such a large part of this excellent mod.
Other people who have been instrumental in the development of this mod include, but are certainly not limited to:
-Pieter, who has contributed numerous excellent ideas and far too much good code that we have been unable to utilise at this stage.
-Luke159, who went so far as to release the CoAS console to us ahead of schedule to assist in our testing.
-Thagarr, who was the first to create a practical readable book texture, and who has since contributed much to discussion of fonts and textures to that end.
-modernknight1, for all of his insight and advice regarding period accuracy, from fonts to book topics and titles.
To anyone that feels that they have been left out, please tell us so. We want to give credit wherever it is due.
--------------------------------------------
5. ISSUES TO BE TACKLED
--------------------------------------------
-Books yet to appear randomly in store
