Thanks! That's what comes of trying to compile the zip from several different folders related to different projects - occasionally something gets missed out, in this case the walk files for some new ships. I've re-uploaded the zip with the walk files included - try again, please!

Yes! Now it is OK. Thanks then I can play a little as planned tonight :D
 
Good, then at least hopefully I haven't missed anything else out. :oops: Try starting a FreePlay game as a pirate and look for a ship described as "Adaptable ship, fast, but poor in crosswind. Pirate scheme featuring a dark hull with red markings." That's a new light brig specifically for pirates - I found it when I downloaded a mod for "City of Abandoned Ships" specifically to see if it had any ships which PoTC doesn't have and should have, and this was one. What makes it particularly suitable for pirates is that it has a plank. :walkplank It also has a rather nice walk-in cabin. And it's the ship whose walk-file showed up in that "error.log" as being missing.

Is that the movie version or a historical version that is different?

Different from what? :)

The movie version is actually a replica of a much smaller and much earlier ship. Grand Turk is designed to replicate the 20-gun frigate HMS Blandford (1741).

The real Indy was way larger and built 40 years later.

To me, the Grand Turk (which apparently is now called Étoile du Roy) looks more like the Black Pearl from some angles. They must have taken quite a few liberties with her design. :confused:

They do seem quite similar to me, with the exception of paint scheme and decorations - the Grand Turk is implemented in very simplified (let's say napoleonic) style, with rectangle windows, no golden sculptures, etc, but otherwise I would risk to say it's the same ship.

I found 6th rate in the game to be relatively similar to both, BTW.

It's final because most of it is incorporated into @Mad Jack Wolfe's new installer. So now I'm working on a new post 11th August archive instead...

Since 11 Aug 2017 isn't released yet, here's a question: Should the Post 11 Aug stuff go into a new executable before it is publicly released? Or not?
