    Poll Idea: modifying certain freeplay characters to make them more unique

    Forget about him? Why? He's an important character in the original game. Why not imagine his staff taking his place instead, like what happens when you assign someone to rule over the town? After all, I placed a butler in the residence. It would be sad to see him go. What about assigning some...

    Need Help Modifiyng Freeplay

    While browsing through the models, I found "EITC CPT" Jack, who in the photo seems to be wearing a blue coat but with Jack's face on the "Artois Voysey" head. But ingame, he looks like a generic British officer. Where can the actual model in the photo be found?

    Poll Idea: modifying certain freeplay characters to make them more unique

    On second thought, maybe I'll post these problems here now for you to comment on: - I tried to take over Redmond as Conorrongtion but when I started talking to Weatherby Swann, the dialog was stuck in some sort of loop. - Barbossa: I made the crew skeletons. However, I don't know of a way to...

    Poll Idea: modifying certain freeplay characters to make them more unique

    Alright, I intend to update you tomorrow (Saturday) about the status of my edits, since there are a few issues that I believe you'd be able to address. I should be able to send them by Sunday for inclusion into the update.

    Poll Idea: modifying certain freeplay characters to make them more unique

    Don't worry, I won't give them high levels anymore. I might be able to do most of them within a few days, but I won't be putting quests first. Setting up the special starts is relatively easy for me.

    What about still giving Mefisto to him, but putting in some sort of unique quest to do? Like I said, I still don't think it's quite fair that Beckett and Norrington start out with massive ships, while other unique models have to start out with a tiny ship. That's why I wanted to give Barbossa a...

    I understand that, but the Dark Teacher is the more unique model. Plus, there's reason to suspect that Dark Teacher was the real leader - "Dark Captain" is just a placeholder for whoever replaced him after he was killed. That's why I decided to include "Dark Captain" as an officer, because he's...

    I'll try that. Are you sure about that? Cutler Beckett is the richest and most powerful character in the films. If I want to play as him, I want to feel like him. The Young Beckett could be the one where you start out earlier in his career. I'd prefer him as a Sword Master because that's what...

    Need Help Modifiyng Freeplay

    He's set to NationsAllHostile. Surely the intent was to make everyone hate and run from him? He's Davy Jones, after all. Not some pirate. If I attack pirate ships as Davy Jones, they'll turn hostile to me permanently despite me using their flag. Why not have this be the default from the start...

    So, I just noticed that pirate ships are neutral to me if I choose Davy Jones. This is despite the code SetAllHostile. Would there be a way to fix this?

    Poll Idea: modifying certain freeplay characters to make them more unique

    You prefer them to start from the beginning? How do you feel about the other changes, like the extra officers, added weapons, or owning colonies from the start? Or the hunt Blackbeard quest? I want to get a grasp on how much other people like these characters modified.

    Discussion Attempt at "ship battle simulator"

    I don't know whether you realise that I never intended to force anyone to do anything. I was always under the impression that this project was supposed to be somewhat inclusive.

    Discussion Attempt at "ship battle simulator"

    Certainly I wouldn't really mind if it doesn't end up included. That's really up to whomever is in charge of managing the updates. I guess the issue is that mods like these can't simply be released independently, because every time there's a new release, they become incompatible. Don't you...

    Discussion Attempt at "ship battle simulator"

    Angling for something isn't the same as "demanding" for it. I'm asking you guys for your thoughts, your opinions - not ordering you to do accept it. :rolleyes:

    Discussion Attempt at "ship battle simulator"

    Thanks for your advice, I'll certainly look into this. However, I'd like to make things clear - when have I ever demanded anything to be included in a future update? Also, should we expect help from this forum under certain conditions only?

    Discussion Attempt at "ship battle simulator"

    I've revisited this simulator and tried to simplify things by putting everything in console.c so that I had an easier time preparing the ships & stats of the characters involved. However, there's a problem - "Friend" and "Friend2" no longer appear in their ships. In addition, "Friend3" is the...

    Poll Idea: modifying certain freeplay characters to make them more unique

    So, lately I've been trying to expand on certain freeplay characters - particularly the main characters in the stock game and those from the POTC films, by giving them unique starting conditions. This has been done with help from @Grey Roger . The idea is this: if I'm going to select "Cutler...

    Need Help Modifiyng Freeplay

    So these enhancements can't make their way into an update? How about putting this into vote? I personally feel like it would expand the experience of the mod. Reverting a starting character to a generic state is as easy as taking out one letter or adding another to the name. I'm slightly...

    I mean Flying Dutchman is kinda a copy already of "Vasa" so in my head-canon they're really the same ship. Plus Vanderdecken was the "original" captain of FD and he's Dutch so put two and two together = FD is the Vasa. It doesn't have to be perfectly consistent with the history... Yeah, that 10...

    Need Help Modifiyng Freeplay

    I think the Vanderdecken model deserves some sort of freeplay. I don't really have the skills to do modelling though. So I'm considering putting him in the 1600's with the following background: an ambitious if somewhat unskilled shipwright, who wanted to show off to the Dutch his prowess by...
