Cannonade vs Long gun -whats the difference?

no, but otherwise i would have to look up the way to code it in again. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
soooooooooo....i've helped? great! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
hehehehe....i'll just shoot those cannons of yours to smithereens! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" /> even if you shoot first, i will still have more than enough cannons to disable yours! hahaaaaa!

do your opponents have 42 pund cannons too if you decide that you can buy them?
 
dunno...havent faced anything big enough to carry them yet...only MOWs can use them, and i dont face them often. not even sure that all of them can use them. i think only the Pirate MOWs can carry them. will have to check sometime soon. oh, and dont underestimate the Pearl's manouverability. i could rake you 100 times before you could hit me once! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
i can load just as fast as you do, and i guess your maneuvrability would drop quite a bit with a few masts missing! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" /> believe me, my speciality is knocking off masts with a single cannonball. i've actually done it several times with my bow cannons.


by the way: could you let the pearl go 18 knots (unless it's already faster) and give it a maneuvrability of, let's say, 40 (unless it's already higher)? instant boarding would make it pretty easy to board it, anyway. letting it have 42 pound cannons would of course be nice as well. remember that if you give me the file, i still need to have 24 pound cannons on a gunboat, and that any other changes that you made shouldn't be in it.
 
The name is carronade and not cannonade. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

I think in 17th century carronades weren´t used yet. But never mind. Carronades were short barrel guns with bigger calibers that used for battle at the shorter distance (smashing carronades) than long barrel guns. They were cheaper than long barrel guns and could be charged in a little shorter time than long barrel guns. The longest range of fire had type of long barrel guns - culverines. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
ok. the 24 pound Gunboat and the BP, buyable in Pirate shipyards, with 18 knots speed under regular winds [i hope], with 42 manouverability [stock]. it's in the folder PROGRAM in my modding chest.
 
I thought that you aren't able to board high class ships with instant boarding ability? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
nelson, sorry to say this, but i don't want to buy the black pearl. i want to get it fearly, as normal. for the rest, thanks mate!

no, you can't board highER ships. and as the manowar has the highest ship class, you can board anyhting you want.
 
ok. dont buy it then! you wont encounter it anymore than you did in the stock version. just dont buy it in the shipyards! oh, and it's only found at the Pirate ones anyway...

as for whether the one you encounter at the end of the game will have 42 caliber guns, im not sure. save on the shore or in the alcove, so that, if you really want the guns, you can replay that bit later, after informing me and me checking it to see if theres any place that defines the weaponry of NPC specific ships
 
duh <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> well, that was a painfully obvious solution! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

ok, i'll go board some ships then.

EDIT: do i need that file for the cannons as well?

EDIT EDIT: WOW! i just saw that forts can also have 68 pound cannons! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
I've noticed that Morgan likes to exaggerate sometimes. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

no! look into cannons_init. i don't know where exactly, but i definatly saw that forts can have 68 pound cannons. i'll look up the piece of code in the file.

here it is!

// Even bigger, even scarier fort guns
makeref(rCannon,Cannon[CANNON_TYPE_CARRONADE_LBS68]);
rCannon.type = CANNON_NAME_CARRONADE;
<b>rCannon.caliber = 68;</b>
rCannon.ReloadTime = 125; // LDH was 240
rCannon.Weight = 72;
rCannon.Cost = 5000;
rCannon.sound = ("cannon_fire_CR68");//JRH
rCannon.gunpowder = 6;// added by MAXIMUS [gunpowder mod]
rCannon.FireAngMax = 1.0;
rCannon.FireAngMin = 1.0;
rCannon.DamageMultiply = 6.0;
rCannon.TradeOff = true;
InitBaseCannons_CalcSpeedV0(&rCannon,1280.0*CANNON_RANGE_SCALAR);
rCannon.Dispersion.X = CARRONADE_DISPERSION_MULT;
rCannon.Dispersion.Y = CARRONADE_DISPERSION_MULT;
rCannon.Dispersion.V = CARRONADE_DISPERSION_MULT;
n++;

see!

FACT: 2 68 pound cannons where used on the victory, called the 'smashers' and where stuffed with 200 musket bullets to fire at the enemy crew at a range of 300 yards.

by the way, i DID use build 8.9 for a short while. i found it on fileplanet when i was looking for the build, before i found this forum. i didn't work though. i couldn't even finish the tutorial.

Then perhaps it was someone trying to muscle in on the fame of the Builds by offering a pirated version because there never was a build 8.9.
 
so that's why you thought i was exaggerating! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> i heard that the old build versions where a collection of independant mods. what i think is the case here, is that this is in fact a seperate build mod community. they just keep collecting mods and putting it into a modpack, thus build 8.9. or they indeed pirated it and added some stuff to create build 8.9.

They are, and Build 13 & 14 are as well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
This is the home of the original "Build" as far as I know.
