"Ahoy there mateys,
't been a fine week for capers, from startin out in the port of oxbay, armed only wit my ol' saber and a brand new shiny new `celler-phane` wrapped copy of POTC... I now have 2 loyal crews of back stabbin cur's aboard 2 of the finest battle ships on the `myharddrive-main`." <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />

thats right guys, im new, Id like to say a big hello and congratulate you on this site. I havent finished the game in normal mode yet (well ont way) but this Build yer all talkin aboot sounds pretty sweet...

do I continue with the game and finish it in normal mode first or do I give in to temptation and jus install this mod and start from scratch?

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" />: cheers, mateys you can tell me over some of the finest grog (very little) money can buy! YARR!
 
OMFG a sig with Adam Ant in it, now i never thought id see that! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" />

Apart from that,, its the general opinion you should finish the game vanilla then mod after that <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

cheers for the advice, I shall continue with the game 'vanilla' (kick it one time boooy) untill I a) finish it B) get stuck and give in or c) jus give in

Cheers for the welcome Keith!
as I used to do a bit of modding for cs I should imagine the lure of building and adam ant pirate model too great to resist (sounds f**king hard tho).. but I may well have a go

shame itd be pretty impossible to have dual flintlock pistols hehe
 
but you'd do it just for the war paint and nice white vest <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />
 
you know it, Ill just pinch a skin with a tricorn hat and then try and make the face fit (aka give it warpaint and a clean shave)... the white vest would be nice but I dunno where Id nick it from unless I oculd just recolour an exsisting model...

ill have a look round the towns tonight and see what models need chopping up ....... I may find i cant as Ive never moded out for Potc b4 (probabaly obviously). so if anyone wants to volunteer to give me a hand (or love adam ant enough to do it for me) drop me a msg.

Little advice on the game...

If you start out and go around boarding and selling so you have a nice ship to start the main campaign on (say, the Caraval I had which was upgraded to a Corvette and then to a Battleship w/Corvette escort), only keep one ship. lol

I was on the mission where I had to escape from port with the French captain - lo and behold I see my Corvette escort in bay with us!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" /> Damned thing was toasted by the frigate, Battleship, fort... I was most unhappy. :x
 
I probabaly should have done that from the start, i started the main campaign and got so far then upgraded to the nippy but powerful (and blue!) sloop (still just had 1 ship)... then I caried on till I stol the class 2 ship in the harbour with the idol on it, and used that to get a battle ship.

so now I have them 2 beauts to look at...

Im currently on my way to find some dude who reads foreign text with daniel in my crew (the indestructable thing that she is)...

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> thanks mucho for the advice!
 
lol You're in the same place I was before I restarted. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I had a Battleship, but almost no gold and the thing's hull was only about 15% - not the Battleship she once was. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

You're in for a little surprise when you find him. I won't spoil the rest. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Yeah, I just couldn't wait to really try out the build, so now I've got two POTC folders--one unmodded and one stocked with build 11. All I have to do is change folder names, and *bam*, I've got two games to play at my leisure! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" /> That's a good solution!
