A&M `Add-on` (from ALexusB)

Ahoy Alexus B,nice te hear from ye again mate.Aye Alan,Fred Bob,Ol' Skull be think'n ye mates be right,becuse de A&M pack adds a lot tew de game wid new Islands an such,dar would be more opportunities tew improve de game from thar, <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
ALexusB: nice to "see" you again! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

It's going to be pretty difficult to merge the two. I wouldn't keep your hopes up.
Besides, as Fred Bob says, A&M pack is a pretty complete and `self-contained` conversion/expansion/modpack.

But of course I'd be happy to help anyone who wants to add anything I've written to their codebase.
 
<!--`QuoteBegin-Fred_Bob`+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Fred_Bob)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Aye, dis would best be (and is) a separate PotC `Add-on`!  :cheeky  

The goals here as Fred Bob sees them are as follows: 1) Make the A&M `Add-on` run on the stock US/UK versions of PotC and 2) Translate it from Russian to English. That's really it (and that will be a lot!), Fred Bob be thinking!  :onya

Excellently!

Thanks all of you!

Some explanation

1. `Add-on` can easy be installed to eng ver of potc (troubles will be with european ver - like with russions - they have different dir structures)

2. Yes. Need to translate!!! Start with INITEXT and quest book

3. I need to translate my web site to eng to help you with install

4. PROGRAM is not pressent in `Add-on`!! All code is closed in DLL

5. I will give you some files .c a .h to translate them

6. At end of all I create eng_patch.exe to set it over rus ver

7. All of textures and names of town on it will be optional by your side (draw it by self)

8. I'll give some of you (who will be work with me) link to my close work forum (on english of'course). And then we all can work with more productivity then was in past

Who can read russian? And know english good enough (not me <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

Who wants to help in this work?

When I create forum for it I'll be able to get `on-line` consultations (in Moscow time of'course)

But now we can start here <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Ok let's go
Some of you have to install rus ver of `add-on` to see how it is and to test new eng patch on it.

I will write instruction for install on english, but if someboby can write it self it would be great! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Ok I'm ready to invite you to
<a href="http://kerk.ru/forum/index.php?showforum=11" target="_blank">http://kerk.ru/forum/index.php?showforum=11</a>

Set language to English in left bottom corner, register and start our translation and relations

there ara 2 topic on english
1 Common with russion gamers to talk about game (they have realy good experience since june 2004)

2 Private topic for our development team to make eng version
 
We have several who do understand Russian though; hopefully they can be of help here. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
I think the quest texts file may be one of the ones I already translated and put in korsary.zip on the ftp. Anyone been able to download that yet?


I'll look at this new forum.

And whowants to redo the loading screens? Those are about the only graphics with Russian texts, and I posted the translations earlier. I redid the graphic for the "About the A&M `Add-on`" screen myself, so I have that.
 
By the way, AlexusB: Do you mind if I use some of your new models, like the weapons, in my mods for our B12 version of the game? I really love the axes, and I'm making an executioner.

(Do you also think you'll make some more?)

Spo siba bol'shoe!
 
Stupid question...but are there any new ships in this mod?

Just wondering... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

I can do loading screens, Alan! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Let me know what needs to be done, and I'll do it. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

And Kaiser, I don't think that's a stupid question! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Splendid; I just tried doing a loading screen of my own for one of my own new locations, and it turned out crappy. Though I'm beginning to compile a list of all the letters used in the loading screen script, since it isn't among the standard fonts of my Photoshop.

The text, corresponding to each screen, I've supplied here; you know where to download parts of the `add-on`? The address must be earlier in this thread. They're all "resource"folders and whatnot, and at least one has all the loading screens in their proper place.
 
Okay, Alan, I think I got it. Whew, there are a lot to do! But no worries, I can handle this. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" /> This is going to be great!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

Thank you again, Alexus!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ty" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

Your need just play new game...

`Add-on` is power game and it is new game (dislike potc)
I use only graphical engin ans resource pack

Call it seadog 2.5 <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> It will be correct <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

That you hear about AoP in this site had been done YET!
(Akella just anounce my `add-on` list + some news of engine. All other they hold in secret therefore I can do it more faster then them <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

So AoP must be power then `add-on`!!!
And can be SUPER GAME.
But it is just "can be" <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

And let combat begin!
 
Alexus, do you have Photoshop files (.psd with layers) for all the loading screens?

One of my team did it
And I think he has it

Just go to our workshop
Here we do nothing

My team members will never be here

Here we can speak about `add-on` but cannot do some real action

I have my stile of work if you want my help you need to work with me too

I have 2000 userd in Russia yet so I have lots of work for support russion ver.
And will be support 2 ver.

So translation must be quckly!!!
Else we'll have troubles with functionaly and new quests
Now I am ready to set pause to my work and control your translation of version 0.9.1222
 
Zamechatel'no! blagodariu, Alexei.

Are the musketoon and combat arms in the versions of the build you already released? The new weapons I have from your site are the three axes, a fireplace poker, shotgun and what looks like a club or bowling pin, besides the swords.
 
it is fireplace poker - yes!

It is joke for some quests

All what I've told above is done yet in 0.9.1222

PS I took .zip with text but it seems like an old version
Need some correction

I'll try to write instruction how install game and you will be able to check these files in game
 
If you need some people to correct your english texts alexusB, I would be glad to help.

contact me via private message if you need me.
