    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    15 it is. :) I was leaning towards that. Now, which tips do you think should be adjusted or removed, and what do you think should be added? You can see them all on the previous page. Please write what you want the adjusted or new tips to say. Based on Hylie's suggestion, I'm changing these...

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    I have been busy with other things so I haven't been able to post here. Progress! I have managed to create a shadow effect and get everything into the alpha channel. The result looks similar to the original. The solution was to use the "Drop Shadow" blend effect. It didn't work when I first...

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    I can create the alpha channel, I can get the text into the alpha channel, but no matter what I do, I can't get the shadow into the alpha channel. I think I found Photoshop's equivalent to the gradient blend effect you used, but it won't do anything unless there's something in the selection, so...

    Need Help POTC on xbox?

    The code from the Build Mod that I included consisted of various bug fixes and improvements. When I'm finished with my game I'll try getting the Build Mod to work, starting with version 12.1 since that is the latest version most likely to work on the X-Box. I think it's a combination of the CPU...

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    I tried to create that shadow effect but it didn't work, even with the extra layers. Apparently I did something wrong. :doh

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    That looks good. Thanks for helping. :) I'll see if I can reproduce your result. How would you go about in creating an entirely new tip, with alpha channel properly set up and all? This is a list of all the tips, as written in the texture files: Having a high Leadership skill will...

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    I'm using Photoshop CS, so hopefully the procedure is similar in both Photoshop and GIMP.

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    It seems we have settled on having them just below the "New Horizons" scroll, so should I move them there and center them like this? Also, about adding new tips, there is some sort of shadow effect behind the text and it looks like this in the alpha channel. I would need some help with...

    Need Help POTC on xbox?

    Actually, I've been able to get my own "build" to work on the X-Box. :) My "build" is based on the English-language European version of the stock game and not any particular Build Mod version. However, my game does contain code from the Build Mod, and the Build Mod contains code from my game. My...

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    This is what they look like both just below the "New Horizons" scroll and just above the "Loading" scroll, in corresponding positions. What do people say?

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    I tried moving them and this is what they look like moved from the bottom position to the corresponding top position. So, should they be moved just above the "Loading" scroll or just below the "New Horizons" scroll?

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    Likewise, Pieter. :yes So, should I try moving them, or does someone else want to try, and where should they be moved to? Wouldn't moving them just above the "Loading" scroll cause them to be in the way of the actual image? Might not be easy to fix. :/

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    Sorry for my absence, mates. I haven't been able to check the forum lately. About the teleport mode being included in the cheat mode, I'd say it sounds like a good idea. :yes As for the tips, I can try to move them, unless someone else knows that they can move them in a good way.

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    You're right, it's not there even though it's there in the stock game. Oh, well, the instructions should be more clear now. :) Nice that you all like them. I thought they wouldn't be of much use because of the relatively short loading screens, and thought that must be the reason for why they...

    I tried RAR as well but it also didn't work. Is there a limit on file size?

    Mod Release The loading screen tips

    This thread continues from the posts starting here: http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/reclassifying-the-ships-again.19523/#post-434874 As can be seen from those posts, there are unused tips and a help section in the game's files. Should they be enabled? The tips can easily be enabled, and...

    Reclassifying the ships (again)

    The tips are shown during the loading screens in the American X-Box version, and can be enabled in other versions. The "help section" is an unfinished and disabled menu apparently intended for explanation of various things in the game. I tried to finish it and make it work but I don't understand...

    Solved Widescreen settings

    Now these are better results. :) It seems changing to the European engine.ini really does improve performance. Thanks for testing this, Hylie.

    Piratey forum theme

    I'm not a pirate. :whipa I'm more of an adventurer. When I encounter pirates it is usually in combat. Only if they start it first, however. I try to use violence only when necessary.
