Mod suggestions

[Thomas the Terror]

I think that there are still some things i did like to see in AOP, things that need to be coded in. (can `t do it myself <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> , i suck at real coding)

My list of idea`s:

1. The time frame should be set to 1690, the uprising of the golden age of piracy
2. More islands+main land: cuba+virginia, middle america, southern america.
3. - Tortuga has to be a PIRATE island.
- Jamaica has to be in ENGLISH hands, and the city called: Port Royal
4. More POTC landlocations, like the forts, jails, hideouts, dungeons (maybe i can do a bit myself)


This is my list till now.

Aye mate, there be a few details left out or altered fer certain. Altho I don't reckon they were going fer authenticity. Mayhaps there be a means ta rename them places usin common.ini in \resource\texts <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
Seems ta me it be more of a global replacement o' constants, an that be a lot o' diggin! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/treas1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":treas" border="0" alt="treas1.gif" />

At any rate, I got hopes us lot can make new quests an such as was the case with POTC. I be lookin inta more dialogue fer starters at least. It's a start... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Aye, I've been thinking up just such things myself. Just working on so many things, I'm just not having the time to do everything I'd like to.

Anyhow, some of my ideas about quests would be things as follows:

* A colonial naval command office, from which you could get specific pirate hunts, hints about where famous pirates may be lieing and other such info and quests.

* The occasional random encounter quest(escort or specific hunt) where there would be an enemy ship that MUST be stopped from harming your charge.

* Treasure hunts similar to those in PotC build mod.

* An extensive listing of active working pirates, similar to Sid Meier's Pirates, where they are doing thier own thing, sacking towns, taking ships and sailing about just like you do.

* A lost at sea lover, brother, father, etc from one of the random wandering female characters(so far the only NPC's that have quests for you are male).

And there are a pile of other quest ideas I have.

This is just a small random sampling of the ideas I have floating around.

I tried once to change tortuga to a pirate city, but i could only get the worldmap flag to pirate, the city it self was still french, when i filled in "none" (Nation) just like it is on isla mona, the game crashed. And when i tried to add a new location, the screen went black. so i have to look at the potc location cloning thread again (AOP is almost the same) I am trying to add the incan temple and some landforts, jails in the forts, and the dungeons TO the forts.

hi
it`s good to be a little more real time , like in POTC , when change location in town it`s cost time, upload goods cost time , sailing in battle get a change time ,change weather and wind direction while in battle

A global replacement of all references to a nations ownership shouldn't be tool hard (?). Change the file that crashed the game and then see if you get any error reports in other files.

PS if anyone does do this keep a record of the files you changed and please post it

Blue french flags? I'd like to see that instead of white. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

 

[Thomas the Terror]

The white one is the correct one.

 

[Cep]

Aye France wasn't a republic till much later.

 

[Thomas the Terror]

no the WHITE flag with fleur the lis is the ROYAL flag, the ROYAL troops worn white TOO. The blue is correct to, but it is a bit out dated. The tricolor is the one of the republic.

 

[Cep]

Oh I thought he was referring to the republic flag when he said blue. I know the white flag was Royal, during the French revolution when Royalist French soldiers came to England they were nicknamed chalkies or something because of their whitecoats.

 

[Captain_Creed]

No, I was referring to the blue Fleur de Lis, but I think it was replaced with the white Fleur de Lis by 1600.. I just like the blue one better. I'd replace the graphic myself, but I'm not sure how to modify the graphics in the game... Is there a special tool to read the game files and extract the graphics and then repackage them?
