An ambitious project

I also made a quick reskin for the fastgalleon2. Need to find an idea how to include her in my build. Maybe adding a new famous pirate in my build. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Pirate flag decoration on the stern; looks fun. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Just to be sure that you recognize it's a pirate ship. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
I'll find an idea to include this ship in the game. There are still many historic pirates I can add...
 
Saturday, I'll release a small update for my build. It will contain :

_ The pirate fast galleon + his captain (Roche Brasiliano alias Gerrit GERRITSEN). I think I'll write a <b>very small</b> quest that allows you to capture this fast galleon.
_ at least a new fix.
 
Thanks Bartolomeu! I'll have a proper look at your game version soon, but I think I might want to try and release Alpha 9 first. Once that's done and people can continue testing and developing from that version, I should have more time to do other things. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Alright for alpha 9.
But I won't forget you told you'll release Build 13 update 4. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
Otherwise, I made a model for Roche Brasiliano.
 
I have now re-added Fleut5 and Lineship5 to my game, making use of your re-textures. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Thanks Pieter,

I finished the update and tomorrow I will upload it.

Otherwise, I think if Short Jack Gold agrees to help me in this work and if the community is interested in this project, it is possible to make a quest about the life of a Spanish mercenary in the 17th century.

The quest would be shared in 14 quick missions (1 mission for each new level rank reached by the main character). And two quest-makers could independently work on their missions.

For the ressources, I just need a re-textured Bocman4 + its 3 armours and a re-textured xebec.

Tell me what you think..
 
Or an English one would be better still <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

You could make the chooseable characters of each nation ....that would suit anyone.
 
Interesting ideas galore! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

I'd be glad to help you.
Short Jack
 
First, here's my update. It contains :

_The previous fixes (<i>Gun powder</i> and <i>two fixes</i> files).
_ Roche Brasiliano + his ship (the pirate fast galleon). I thought to write a very small quest. But after all, I will use the files allowing the expeditions. However, after sharing the loot, his ship will be moored off Quebradas Costillas; so you've got the possibility of capturing his ship. Of course, if you don't capture his ship you've got the possibility to hire him again as partner and everything will work as usual. Roche will appear in the QC tavern after completing the François Moulin's quest.
_ Possibility of changing your relation with the pirate community. Talk to the governor of Tortuga for this. (System similar to the diplomat's one)
_ Many fixes. (most of them for the quest_reaction.c)

About the quest, it will complicate to make different characters at the beginning. For each nations we need different locations, characters and some missions will be illogical if we don't choose the Spanish nation. So, I can't do it:?
and I think it would be funny to be in the <i>dark side of the force</i> if we choose the Spanish side.

The first missions would be helping the spies working for the Spanish and disseminated on the archipelago. For instance, bring some documents to a spy, free a spy arrested by a hostile nation, obtain some information about the enemies, take a spy back to a Spanish Island. The next missions would be killing some enemies (pirates or foreign officers). For the pirates, we've got Henry Morgan, François l'Ollonais, Roche Brasiliano and Bartolomeu o Portugues <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Of course we can add some others like the pirate Pieter Boelen <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
For the missions, i can find many scenarios. That's not a problem.

I already thought about the beginning : The player starts in the Havana jail. He has been arrested because he killed someone in the tavern. Soon after, a Spanish officer arrives. He takes you to the residence of Dark Vador(Oops I made a mistake <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> .. I wanted to tell the Vice-Admiral of Havana) There, you've got two options : you agree to work for the Spanish as mercenary or you'll be hung <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> ).
You accept to be a mercenary and the<i> fiesta</i> starts.

In some aspect, this quest is similar to the Hitman quest. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

So if <b>Short Jack Gold </b>agrees to work with me. We can make this quest quickly and add it to the selectable story mod. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
 
Certainly sounds like fun. But I think perhaps you should leave me <i>out</i> of a quest for a change.
 
No problem. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> You won't be killed
 
Too bad. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

Don't tell me you're masochistic.
Don't worry, I won't include you in the quest. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />

Not even in his swimming trunks? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />
 
This looks interesting! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> I wish you most success!

What will be the character's background? I mean, for example, will it be a former boucaneer from Hispaniola that will betray his former French & English pirate comrades? Why would the Spaniards give him the first tasks instead of hanging him - would it be someone with already some experience of the sea?

Any volunteer for this work? I don't need these ressources over the next days of course ( can be done in March). I just want to know if someone is interested in this work. If no volunteer, i'll do this.

I didn't decided the background yet. Over the next days, I will prepare the scenario but certainly the Spaniards know he has some experience to be a good mercenary. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
