Need Help Adding New Nations

Ahoy @KovadJupiterus and welcome to the forum!

Can you please explain a bit more what you would like to do?
While adding a fully new nation like the United States is certainly possible, that is decidedly NOT easy.
So unless you already have substantial experience with coding and texturing, I really have to recommend against trying that as your first modification.

On the other hand, perhaps what you want is far simpler.
After all, the "Personal Nation" in the game is relatively easy to hijack for somewhat modified purposes. :cheeky
 
I would like to do own new nation maybe Sweden if it would be possible with no colonies only ships will appear.. when you sail.......and I have a no modding experience only texturing and some modeling.....so what you suggest?? Is it possible to make nation with no colonies and you will only see ships appear randomly.?? Cause I would like to learn to mod this game..... :)
 
Without colonies, it is definitely easier. :onya

If it is Sweden you want to add, perhaps @Jack Rackham would be willing to collaborate a bit.
He already added some Swedish stuff for his storyline.
At the very least, that will save some work because he already did it. ;)
 
Ok thanks for information ...... is there any tutorial to create a nation??.....cause I cant find it. I downloaded tools Notepad++ and others....

Not really, because there is only one person who ever did it for real.
He wrote the code to make it possible, but nobody made use of it since.

This weekend I can't really give any details, but check PROGRAM\globals.h and PROGRAM\NATIONS\nations_init.c to start with.
 
1)
sl.(sn).start.nation = PERSONAL;
sl.(sn).start.Flags.Personal = 31;
Click to expand...
This gives your character a swedish flag, using personal nation.

2) In my startstoryline I have this (with the help of @PieterBolen):
ref ch = CharacterFromID("Swedish Guy");
ch.nation = PERSONAL_NATION;
ch.Flags.Personal = 3;
ch.Flags.Personal.texture = 4;
Towns[GetTownIndex("Khael Roa")].gov = "Swedish Guy";
Click to expand...

Which enables my swedish colony to have visible swedish flags.

3) To make a specific other ship use a swedish flag:
ch.nation = PERSONAL_NATION;
ch.Flags.Personal = 3;
ch.Flags.Personal.texture = 4;
Click to expand...

4) What you're asking for though, ships you can meet with swedish flags - havn't tried that at all.

Would you be interested in making it happen?
It would take some fiddling around, but together we'll manage it, I'm sure. :yes
 
Hopefully @Jack Rackham will be willing as well.
While I know, in theory, how to do it, I have absolutely no time to do anything more than to give a few hints to you guys.
But I definitely reckon it would be cool to have Sweden as a more fully functional nation in the game. :yes
 
Yes at least in WoodeRogers it would be nice to see some swedish ships as one colony exists.
Historically Sweden really wasn't important in the Carribbean. I think Denmark maybe more.

It's defined as a PERSONAL_NATION. I have no idea - do you ever meet ships from PERSONAL_NATIONS?

If we have to do it in another way I'm afraid a very complicated flag puzzle I have ready is spoiled.

How come? You can answer in PM if you want to avoid spoilers on the main forum.
I think we can do it independently from what you currently have in place.
We can start with doing only those on-sea encounters to begin with.

@Pieter Boelen Please do you have idea of any good modeling programs for POTC??? Cause my program does not open any POTC model...
Click to expand...
You can only open PotC models if you export them to OBJ format using the GM Viewer program first. Then, you can technically use any 3D modelling program to modify it, but Maya 5 is required to export it back to the game's GM format.
 
Hello again guys is it possible to create a nation without port on island... and if it is how difficult it will be??

Is it possible? Totally possible! We added the USA as well.
How difficult? Easier than adding the USA, but still a fair bit of work required; mostly textures and models.
What do you have in mind?
