    Improve town economy

    Is Barbados in the current build set to be eternally struggling? I've noticed a constant low amount of goods with both traders.

    Solved How do I make the game find and insert the gender of a NPC?

    Ok. I think, I'm ready to do the modification. But while I can modify the gunsmith_fetch.c (and the other artisan fetchquest c-files) and the English quest texts, I know nothing about the syntax in the other languages, so I have no idea of where to insert the new variable (or what words to...

    Am I allowed to modify work made by a previous modder? Not errors, but narrative style?

    I didn't get the idea to kill Rachel! :sick That'll be either Alkella or Nathan Kell. Don't shoot the messenger here! :pirate41:

    Solved How do I make the game find and insert the gender of a NPC?

    I think I'm beginning to understand your explanation. Three things, though: 1. Is it the text in the fetch.txt with the quest texts, I'm supposed to correct with a variable for the correct pronoun? Then what about the similar text in gunsmith_fetch.c? 2. How exactly should I write the variable...

    Fixed Is there a tailor in Governor's Harbour? And other map-related problems.

    Forgot to ask: what is the difficulty with this? Making a map-illustration over the section of the coast with Cartagena and Dolphin Sands? Or enabling direct sail if a player owns that map? Or a third thing?

    I need to know: is there a conflict between going pirate and personal forts?

    An update to the test of conquering enemy towns flying a flag hostile to myself. I have also taken Governor's Harbour (English) flying a French flag. Again your modification worked, and I automatically flew my personal flag, when I left the townhall. And the innkeeper acted normally, when I...

    Dockyard in Pointe a Pitre gives obsolete fetch quest

    I can't say for certain, that it worked. But I mostly think it did. I was too late to reach an couple of artisans with a fetchquest in time, and none of those tried to give me an obsolete fetchquest. But it appears that the first obsolete quest (dockyard in Point a Pitre - expiration date...

    Am I allowed to modify work made by a previous modder? Not errors, but narrative style?

    Yes, sadly. :(

    The Kapitein of Kralendijk: how do I get arrested, once I've scammed the governor?

    Good. That means, I already rule all of Cuba. :bonaparte And don't have to search further for a loanshark.

    Solved How do I make the game find and insert the gender of a NPC?

    I'm in dangerous waters here, as I've never worked with the program files behind the dialogue texts and questbook texts before. So I'll need further help. 1. I found Gunsmith_fetch.c, and what I think is the relevant routine: case "save goods for me"...

    The Kapitein of Kralendijk: how do I get arrested, once I've scammed the governor?

    I haven't done any of those. All loans are paid on time, because I've drowning in money, and only borrowed to check the loansharks. By the way, are there any loansharks on Cuba at all? I can't seem to find any in either Santiago and Havana. And I haven't figured out, where the pirate town is...

    Solved How do I make the game find and insert the gender of a NPC?

    When I did a fetch quest for the weapon smith (female) in Grand Turk, I noticed the quest told me to bring the goods back to "him". I examined the text, which simply says "him" in all fetch quests. I had run into a similar problem, when soldiers tried to arrest me in another game, and the...

    The Kapitein of Kralendijk: how do I get arrested, once I've scammed the governor?

    Just to be clear, I met the hostile warships, before I took Charlestown and Antigua. I was trying to be funny. At the time, I still had a neutral relationship with both Holland and Portugal. But the tips on the load screens say, that if one's reputation get sufficiently low, one will find...

    Am I allowed to modify work made by a previous modder? Not errors, but narrative style?

    Actually, I just intended to add to the quest text about make Caron act more tough something along the lines: "later I learned that Rachel had resisted his advances so violently, that she'd died from her injuries". If Caron doesn't take no for an answer, thing might very well end in violence...

    Respawned guards tend to walk around - is this fixable?

    I checked it with Will Turner at Port Royal center. It worked. All the usual soldiers were back at their post, when I returned.

    Am I allowed to modify work made by a previous modder? Not errors, but narrative style?

    It isn't. When the main character (female) asks Simon Hanpool about the tablets, she's told about the lad (Nathaniel), who received a proposition from one of the dockworkers. Only Nathaniel wasn't interested and "he put him in his place". Sorry, but that didn't make sense to me. So one shows...

    The Kapitein of Kralendijk: how do I get arrested, once I've scammed the governor?

    Don't know, what I did. The ships were sunk, but my reputation floated, and the fort left me alone. What did upset both Portugal and Holland was my conquest of Charlestown and Antigua. I do try out your fix for flying a flag hostile to myself and will let you know, when I have a list. But the...

    Dockyard in Pointe a Pitre gives obsolete fetch quest

    I play a game in which I'm a French castaway, who tries a life as a trader. Currently I sail to all French, Spanish and Pirate towns in search of rumoured fetch quests. A rumour dated November 26th 1683 said, that the dockyard in Pointe a Pitre needed help, so I sailed there and arrived...

    Respawned guards tend to walk around - is this fixable?

    Thank you. I'll test. But weren't you away on holidays? I just write these posts, when I remember them and expect, that someone will come around and read them at some later point. I don't consider them urgent.

    The Kapitein of Kralendijk: how do I get arrested, once I've scammed the governor?

    Ok. I think, I've somehow been branded pirate, even though I've kept well away from sinking all "unauthorized" ships in the storyline in order to keep my good relations with Holland and Portugal. When I sailed out of the port of Sáo Jorge, I was also attacked by two Portuguese warships, while...
