I've read in a topic some time ago about an idea for a permanent group of crew members who are following you like officers on shore. I think that's a good idea to improve the game so i'm actually working on this mod.

At this time, the mod works fine, i've succeded to create a group of crewmembers who follow you everywhere on land (except in store, shipyard, residence and houses). The number of crewmembers who follow you depends of the number of crewmembers on your ship and the group can reach 10 men with you for a big ship. The crewmembers do not take any officer slot so you can also hire officers like usual.

You'll have to equip them by talking with them (to open the exchange interface) and the mod is switchable.
If you don't want to have crewmembers with you on land, you can desactivate the mod by talking to one of them. To re-enable the mod, go talk on crew members who are in crew's quarters on ship. You can also change uniforms of the following crewmembers by talking with them and i have had this option in the crew's quarters members too.

This mod add a little fun in the land melee fight and is very useful for the addition that i have also made for the random treasure quest generator. Now you can have to fight a group of pirates (small or big) on the island where the treasure is hidden.

At this time, the permanent crew members mod are only for new islands mod...

Cheers
 
Wow! Sounds cool! Just a few questions: If your crewmembers get killed on shore, will your number of crew members decrease too? And do you have to equip them with new weapons each time you are on land with them? Would be great if they would actually take their blades from the weapon's locker... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
You won't have to equip them each time you go on land, you'll have to equip them just one time like officers.
At the beginning, i found the way to equip them with the weapons locker but weapons didn't return in the weapons locker and disappeared definitively from it and when i went on a next location, crewmembers took new weapons again in weapons locker. It was a good way to get it empty quickly So i prefered equip them manually like officers. I haven't found the way yet to decrease the number of crew members if one of them is killed on shore but i'm working on that too <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Did you put it on the FTP already? The current version, that is. I would've liked to put it into a modpack update, but I don't seem to see the file on there. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
No i haven't put it on the FTP yet because i continue to test it a little before and i will put some little new stuffs with it like the random treasure quest generator "upgrade" that i have told above. I will also put some little bugfixes like the russian talking crew member in crew quarters and a bug of the cabin mod i have also fixed : the companions (like fred bob) didn't go in cabin with you...
 
Hey, this sounds great, Screwface. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> Looking forward to giving it a go once you've tested it.

Cheers <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" />

But would not that have been rather realistic? The men selling their blades to get those extra pints at the local tavern before they head back to the ship? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Excellent ! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" /> I always wanted to march through the jungles with a decent landing party. Or a file of Marines <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />
 
yeah what we really could use thou is a new special character like bucaneers and marines(bucaneers being the Pirate's infantry) with proper animation soley for those units, as it looks rather wierd with NPC's walking around with a musket holsterd like a pistol and fire it with the same ease as a pistol <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
