    Playing Alexus Add-On

    Level 13; I've been having a bit of luck capturing a lot of corvettes, and they do the trick though they sap my abilities something fierce. Huge problem though: I can't hire officers anymore. The limit seems to be lower than in the standard game, which I can live with; but even now when some...

    Playing Alexus Add-On

    Finally I captured a brig, this is nice. Now I stand a chance against all those headhunters (great AI on those ships by the way, real aggressive the way they let loose a broadside, swing over and open the other set of guns on me). -- Some guy in a black robe in Nevis' bar just asked me to find...

    Playing Alexus Add-On

    Oh cool I didn't know about improving ships... I see the FAQ AlexusB posted details it more. I've just had to steer clear of islands whose nations are hostile toward me, since now I have to be in port to get crew or repairs or do basically anything. I would like a ferry-boat sort of option so I...

    Playing Alexus Add-On

    Navy: When you say jump in battle, do you mean that back-slide motion that is by default the z key? Been playing this game all week by the way, now that I have finally gotten it to work after trying several times over the past year or two, however long it's been out. I love the RPG elements...

    New character

    Hey Daede, feel free to use the face. I stole it from Liv Tyler anyway. You could probably make it look a little better than I did, too... I was never really satisfied with how bug-eyed she looks.

    Playing Alexus Add-On

    hm, the personal characteristics on the lefthand side toward the top are an acrostic for "special"... that must have been intentional for some reason. It includes such items as intellect... I wonder how that affects gameplay.

    Adding Slavery mod to build 12

    I think the thinking was we'd add it officially if we could counterbalance it with something like a way to release the slaves on a friendly shore and gain a rep-up.

    Problems with delivering goods

    Similarly, since one of the more recent builds, my game basically hangs and crashes when I try and do a deliver-the-goods sidequest. Maybe I shouldn't ask when I have a MoW with an empty cargo hold... the calculations have got to be staggering.

    Tool for making characters and converting VRML files to gm

    I have had zero luck with the VC models so I gave up for now. The GMViewer and Inez's tool just crash or don't recognize the file when I try and open some of them. And it's a crying shame coz I was most interested in the locations, little castles and things. I haven't noticed any town or...

    New or Improved ships ...

    I tend to agree with Merciless... The ships all look sharp but some stray toward the cartoony. My least favorite, I dunno who made it, but it's a big ship with almost neon green and yellow on it... Stuff like Cap'n Hook's Jolly Roger is fun as a break from the norm, anyway.

    Tool for making characters and converting VRML files to gm

    that's what I was planning on doing; I just have to ask him what he's got cooking for the islands and where I can fit it in. It'd be nice to make the ship_pub location an actual landing shore, the way the original Douwesen shore isn't. Got the inside of the pub all finished, then I started...

    Tool for making characters and converting VRML files to gm

    You bet. It's a lot of odds-and-ends though... like, I may just slap the Curio and wrecked ship pub into the same zip file for now; those're the ones I've gotten the farthest on. Almost done with the interior of the pub above. Still not sure where I should put the pub, any suggestions? Couple...

    Tool for making characters and converting VRML files to gm

    Here's another I started working on, inspired by the look of the pirate tavern in SMP! <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v251/alan_smithee/ship_pub.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> It's a wrecked ship made into a seaside pub. The interior will be a shipdeck full of tables and...

    Tool for making characters and converting VRML files to gm

    Inez: Haven't had a chance to get the newest tool yet... I'll let you know. CCC: Awesome. You can delete that lighthouse right out of that model, too. Here're some previews of my new towns and locations (another one I will do soon is a sort of ship graveyard, since I can repeat the derelict...

    Ladies and Gentlemen... My proudest moment.

    I will give all that a try when I can Pieter, thanks. For the items, besides the ones I will make very specific to him alone, I'd like to make him the only buyer/seller of many of the random Aztec artefacts - some of the skill-enhancing trinkets, and the piddly-diddly crap like clay pots and...

    Tool for making characters and converting VRML files to gm

    So here's what I picture, and it's possible but would require some things outside my abilities: A clifftop mansion, surrounded by scraggily old dead trees and tombstones. I got the clifftop (Oxbay lighthouse location), mansion (any of them will work but the first I've tried so far is Redmond's)...

    Tool for making characters and converting VRML files to gm

    CCC: While I get my error message in English, it's the same effect that most model elements seem incompatible with others. Basically I can only make the _x files already in the mesh folder work with other models. (Great creativity by the way; I'd like to see about cobbling together a pipe organ...

    Ladies and Gentlemen... My proudest moment.

    Remember those fishswords I started the thread with? I'm almost done with working my Curio into the game; I'll release it in a few days. I feel a bit bad for the delay, I basically had this done a year ago but put it aside in favor of a lot of half-baked ideas that I could never ge to work out...

    My experiences with playing the newest Modpack

    Exactly. Another dialog option could be to ask him to send you one of your officers ("Captain's orders and would Mr. So-and-So be so good as to wait upon me in my cabin?"), who I think should be staying in their own little quarters when you enter your ship instead of standing in your cabin...

    Captains Cabin

    He beat me to it did he? Ah well; I really got nowhere, though I have a few ideas of how to use the space now... Also lets me concentrate on my Cabinet of Curiosities, which I basically got finished last year but never got around to releasing. It will have Fishswords for sale.
