Although I'm all for closing off the current build to further mods so that all bugs can be cleared up, I've got a couple of ideas for the future.
Whilst casting my eye over a couple of portraits in the Pirates RPG, those being the sextant and compass, I thought now wouldn't it be nice to have these instruments in some functional capacity in the Build Mod.
I was thinking that with the compass it would be necessary to purchase this item (or find as treasure) and equip it so as to have the compass ring visible in sea mode/map mode. So is it possible to activate/deactivate just this part (the outside compass ring) of the display, in relation to the equipping of a compass?
The sextant would also be a purchasable (and of course treasure) item, however would only relate to map mode. Without a sextant the map view would be a maximum zoom in and no zoom out or map overview (tab button) would be allowed. This would make it harder for you to determine your position on the map and navigate from island to island without a sextant.
Both these instruments should be reasonably expensive and if not rare, then not common. They should also be subject to loss by theft and maybe even a slight chance of loss in battle or storms.
The alternative is for them to just give skill bonuses in navigation and realocate the bonuses in navigation for existing items to other skills.
So, all you capable modders out there, is this possible?
