Solved No more Arcade Iron Man Game mode?

[Morthon]

Was the Arcade Iron Man mode removed in the last version? Some options also seem to have been removed inthe ingame difficulty tailoring menu thingy. I quite liked it and I don't really have the time (or patience) to play it on realistic even if I would prefer total realism. Is there some file I can edit, perhaps?

Cheers!

Cheers,

not sure if I understand right what you seek ... you want to combine the ships speed from arcade mode with some of the realistic options of realistic and iron man, do I get this right?

That should be possible, perhaps this is what you search.
Look at PROGRAM/internalsettings.h
There yo'll find:

// ======================================
// REALISM OPTIONS:
// ======================================
// Included in Realistic Game Mode:
#define REALISTIC_SHIP_INERTIA            0        // BOOL - 1=ON - Ships require counter-rudder and don't sail as if on rails
#define SHORE_DANGER_ALARM                0        // BOOL - 1=ON - Red flashing icon and danger music do not start until enemies draw their blade
#define DISCOVER_SAIL_TO                1        // BOOL - 0=OFF - Shores and ports must be discovered by sailing there manually before you can use Sail To
#define DISCOVER_FAST_TRAVEL            1        // BOOL - 0=OFF - Town locations must be discovered by finding them manually before you can use Fast Travel
#define NAVIGATION_EQUIPMENT            0        // BOOL - 1=ON - Items required for certain navigational information to become available
#define ENABLE_LIMITED_SHIPCLASS        0        // BOOL - 1=ON - When player takes command of ship of too high tier, Leadership and Sailing skills drops
#define CANNOT_RELOAD_WHILE_FIGHTING    0        // BOOL - 1=ON - Your gun won't reload while your sword is drawn
#define SAIL_OPERATE_DELAY                3        // INT - sailors will operate sails this amount of seconds after receiving command (set to 0 to restore stock PotC)
// Included in Iron Man Mode:
#define OPEN_SEA_MOD                    0        // BOOL - 1=ON - Worldmap enlarged for realistic DirectSail
#define WORLDMAP_DISABLED                0        // BOOL - 1=ON - DirectSail enforced
#define SAILTO_DISABLED                    0        // BOOL - 1=ON - Cannot Sail-To any ships at sea
#define ONSEA_DATA_DISABLED                0        // BOOL - 1=ON - Spyglass and compass additional information disabled, cannot move camera to non-player ships
#define REALISTIC_ABILITIES                0        // BOOL - 1=ON - Rush, Immediate Reload and Instant Boarding disabled
#define ITEM_REALISM                    0        // BOOL - 1=ON - Items like rubies, diamonds and inca statuettes give no skill bonuses (books and items like compass etc. still do)

Switch on the desired options by replacing 0 with 1, then select arcade mode and you shall have arcade mode plus the selected options.
I just hope this is what you seek

Ayup. That is where to dial it in to what you want.

Thank you, exactly what I wanted to know Basically what I want is arcade ship handling and world size, but no fast-travel or unrealistic hud elements or any of the sorts.
