Major breakthrough with Akella

For us to start working on CoAS, we'd need to actually have some people wanting to do that. Nobody bothered to switch over to AoP. And with good reason. Hopefully CoAS will give adequate reasons to do switch over. Of course we'd definitly be willing to support any new members wanting to mod CoAS. That's what we did with AoP as well. Unfortunately modding for that game appeared to be quite short-lived here. Hopefully modding for CoAS will list longer and, if possible, would even allow us to port most our modding work to that game. But I do fear a split in the community, because there's bound to be people who don't want to move over and bound to be people who do. And I am not even sure whether moving over to CoAS would actually be a good idea. It'd give us many new options and that game also has a lot of cool new stuff that we have not yet added to PotC either. But then if we stick to PotC, there's also still huge potential in that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
Torn us apart? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> Eh? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
I updated the <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=11271&view=findpost&p=228706" target="_blank">list</a> based on what the modders, who are participating in this discussion, have stated. As it shows, the balance is FOR a cooperation with Seaward.ru and FOR working on a CoAS-based Build. However, almost every statement also includes tentavely reservations about NOT splitting the community!

Folks, as we have included our RELATIVE interest in CoAS, should I send the letter?
 
Umm.. cooperating with russians free? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> I think you disagree with that one? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
I will only cooperate with the russkies for free if they do not intend to make profit.
If it is a commercial title with the intent to make money i will only cooperate for my share of the profit.

Merciless Mark, glad you asked:

It means, that as far as I understood your comments, you have specifically stated, that you will not allow any kind of commercial use of your work - it should be free for all to use. And (Commercial) is..well..the opposite.

But I can see, thats not what you meant and I will correct it.

EDIT: However, I should drop those comments completely because it only makes sense to me anyway..done!
 
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->City of Abandoned Ships should be pretty similar in file structure and file usage.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Well, if it they are similar enough, couldn't we mod both simultaneously, as in make the file then just put it in both games, with slight changes? Then Players could choose: COAS or POTC.
 
Possibly, but not easily. Because both games are pretty different, even though they do use the same engine.

As for free or commercial: I suppose we first need to know what "support" they want from us. I don't think they want us to work on the actual game release, considering that it's only a few months away. Perhaps they just want us to continue our modding work on their game, which would hopefully improve the game's sales and longevity.

Any further comments on the letter? If not, I think we can send it away and get some more clarity on things. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
Have I not made it clear enough, that I am for both things? I'm not on the list. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
Oops. You are now <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
How about those who haven't said anything? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Actually I did say something some posts back.
I won't go near anything with starforce! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guns.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2guns" border="0" alt="guns.gif" />
 
I don't think any of us want any Starforce involvement. And yes, you didn't say anything, though I AM interested in your views on the matter... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
I think it can be sent, unless anybody has any further comments/objections.
 
SEND! SEND! SEND! SEND! SEND! SEND! SEND! SEND! SEND! SEND! SEND!!!!!

Sorry, got carried away. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
At least you got your point across... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
Hehe..easy now <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I send it 2 days ago.
But don´t count on a reply for at least a week, though..Things are surely heated up to the boiling point at Seaward.ru at the moment, with their soon release and all..
 
He's right! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Why the hell is this thread brought to the wrong place eh? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> Same goes to the Akella tools.
