Changing Weapons

Cattman2236 · May 24, 2005

Hey everybody i need help on how to change the starting weapon, if you dont know what i mean ill explain. When you start a new game id like to start the game with the best sword and gun instead of the saber and the short pistol. Can anybody tell me how to do this please.

Ok, open up characters_init.c.
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean\PROGRAM/Characters/characters_init.c</div>
Scroll all the way down to the bottom, where it says stuff about the goods in your hull. It should look like this:
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>// MainCharacter start parameters
    ch.Ship.HP = 300;
    ch.Ship.crew.quantity = 30;
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_BALLS,300);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_GRAPES,100);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_KNIPPELS,100);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_BOMBS,300);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_CHOCOLATE,100);
    SetCharacterGoods(&Characters[0],GOOD_LEATHER,25);</div>
Add this under that:

<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>GiveItem2Character(ch, "Item ID of the Sword you want");</div>
C is case sensitive, so be sure you copied exactly what I wrote (with the Sword's Item ID filled in)

The item ID is this: (quoted from the Windmill Slayer)
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(PROGRAM/ITEMS/initItems.c)</div><div class='quotemain'>//windmill slayer
makeref(itm,Items[n]);
itm.id = "blade23"; <span style='color:red'><b><<<<This thing right here!!</span></b>
itm.groupID = BLADE_ITEM_TYPE;
itm.name = "itmname_blade23";
itm.describe = "itmdescr_blade23";
itm.folder = "items";
itm.model = "blade23";
itm.picIndex = 16;
itm.picTexture = "ITEMS_3";
itm.price = 10000;
itm.dmg_min = 30.0;
itm.dmg_max = 50.0;
itm.piercing = 0;
itm.minlevel = 10;
itm.rare = 0.1;
itm.block = 20;
itm.param.time = 0.1;
itm.param.colorstart = argb(64, 64, 64, 64);
itm.param.colorend = argb(0, 32, 32, 32);
n++;</div>
Hope it helps.

Anyone know the code for the solingen rapier? Because the Windmill Slayer is ok, but you can loot it pretty quickly off stormy start.

Meh, if it had been me, I would have set it as "solingen". You can set the ID to whatever you want.

I suppose you could go through the file and find the stats you want or the pic of the blade you want and then you can choose as you will. To each his own. I like the Solingen too. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :cheeky

I was rooting around in the Build 12 files.. is it the modified saber?

CatalinaThePirate · May 25, 2005

The Solingen <i>WAS</i> the modified Needle, but now it's the re-skinned Silver Leaf.

Cattman2236 · May 25, 2005

In Build 12 without any Post Build 12 mods, the Solingen Rapier is still the rapier, only better.

Cattman2236 · May 27, 2005

Hey everybody i have one more question, which will probably seem easy to you lot. Anyway ill explain, When sailing a ship youll all notice the crew moving around on the deck, but when you go into the other view where your walking along the deck the crew go away somewhere??. So what im asking is how can i get the crew to show up ion BOTH views of the ship??. Any help will be much appreciated. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :onya

Hello. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

As far as I know, if you install Build 12 then you will see the crew on your ship too - unless I am mistaken and that feature comes with Pieter's current modpack... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :eek:

ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

But it's either of those. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Cattman2236 · May 27, 2005

i see, what file do i have to edit to make the crew show up?? because id really like to make the crew show up myself, well at least i know i can do it then.

High Sea Lass · May 27, 2005

Hmm, not sure - but if you have Build 12 installed (from the FTP server here) then you should see them run about... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

And the crew have better graphics, and turn in to common officer skins. Heh, a little bug is that the crewmen climb up and down the rigging of a fallen mainsail, even though the mainsail took the rigging down with it!

Actually, High Sea Lass, the Build 12 is not from the FTP, but from the files section of the mainsite (<a href="http://www.piratesahoy.net" target="_blank">http://www.piratesahoy.net</a>) of PA!. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
