Pirates of the Caribbean: Patriots and Emperors

Very well. I have an idea. Release a .zip that goes with the Post Build 12 and a manual install version. That way, you can get the complete package and put it in quick and easy, or if you are better with the game and it's files, you can toy around with the standalone manual version.
 
How many files did you change for this mod? If you changed a lot of files, installing manually will be a serious pain. Then it's better to go with option A and let people WinMerge it into their own installation if they don't want to overwrite anything.
 
There are probably arount 30 files, but about 20 of them are in big folders that you just copy and paste. Like all the island character files in the init folder, because all the soldiers are reskinned.

Really, the only work is putting in the new ships, most of which are just simple copy and pastes.
 
Use <a href="http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Programming/Setup_Utilities/Install_Creator.html" target="_blank">this program</a> to make an .exe, it is so simple.

And also, what do you think of this Logo, i still need to get the alpha to work.

update: I have been trying a bit and so far i can't get the alpha to work with this.
I will keep trying, but is there any one else that nows how to make alphas.

I've begun to compile all the necessary files into one folder.
I have the Mod's Manual written up, and I have a good deal of stuff ready for use.
I'm pretty much waiting for the Dutch and American navies.

The quests are going into the mod, but I'd like to get a V1.1 out first, then start changinf the game's plotline. That way, people can start playing while we continue to work on the quests.

You lads are going to LOVE this. I've re done all the music and voices, so when you start a sea battle for example, the battle music from MC starts and you hear the gunners shout "FIRE!" as the guns thunder.

You'll hear Captain Jack Sparrow's theme when you anchor at port, you'll hear Sparrow vs. Turner (The blacksmith shop duel) when a swordfight starts.

You'll hear "Set full sails" when at sea, it sounds very formal and everything is said properly, just as a respectable navy captain would.

All the soldiers look awesome. Just look at the screens I posted a few days ago and see.

You're going to LOVE this. When I test it, I get blown away every time.

I like it, but are those the colors you're going to use? I would find it even more attractive if it looked like say ink on parchment, another cool look would be a new font and make it look like it came out of a colonial printing press.

EDIT: The Napoleonic Wars is a good subtitle, but the official name of the mod is
Pirates of the Caribbean: Patriots and Emperors
 
I have been doing that, because i have been looking at a mod called the Napoleonic wars for Age of Empires 3, so i just keep forgeting what this one is called, sorry.

Here is a new one, i still need to work on the alpha:

<img src="http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h99/CSHM-PiratesAhoy/potc_logo-NW-1.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

I will try changing the colours a bit, and you also gave me an idea that will get rid of the need of an alpha.

Edit: Could i get a picture of the main menu, it will help me know what i can or can't do.

Edit2: What about this:

<img src="http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h99/CSHM-PiratesAhoy/potc_logo-NW2.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

Ingame the white bits aren't there.

And what did you think about that exe program?
 
What do you think of this, i used your signature to make it (if you don't mind):

<img src="http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h99/CSHM-PiratesAhoy/PESignature.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

People that are part of the modding team could have this, it just has to be changed a bit, or the picture could go where we have stuff like, Master Mariner, Privateer or Modpack Compiler, we would just need to be able to change the picture, or an admin could do it.
 
I use Photoshop, i just copied your signature and editied it.
Another idea, is if they want a signature like you and me, then all i have to do is add what they do for the mod, and a ship of their choice.
 
Yes, like a mod team signature. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I like it.
 
What do you think of this:

<img src="http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h99/CSHM-PiratesAhoy/PESignature2JS.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

It is what Johannes Scherjon requested.
 
That signature is great:D
but about the quest, its bloody hard, I need a tutoreal or someone who has experience with it who helps me... without that I think I can't edit or make a quest..
 
Thanks, you should probably be also thanking John Paul, with out is signature i wouldn't have got the idea of making these.
I couldn't find any tutorials, but you should probably send a PM to Devichat because he is supposed to be helping with quests as well.

Of topic, does any one here use the chat site bebo?
