Pirates of the Caribbean: Patriots and Emperors

It isn't a colour that makes parts of textures transparent, it is the "alpha map". I have no idea how to make one, but it should be possible. Somehow. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Question toYourObed't Serv't LordNelson: I've had a look at that realism mod and especially looked at the Dutch naval ranks. Where the HECK did you find these? "Ondeugd-Admiraal van de Vloot" means something like "Naugty Admiral of the Fleet". <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

It was some sort of translator thing. Online.

Why would you want to delete anything at all? It can only cause additional bugs. Do delete it, you'd have to mess around with a lot of files, including the dialog files and the files in PROGRAM\QUESTS.

Horses won't be possible in this game, I'm afraid. The engine won't support it. We haven't even been able to add static pirates onto characters' shoulders yet and that should be much simpler.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? static pirate?
 
Woops. Typo. I meant to write "parrot", not "pirate". That's what you get when writing "pirate" so many times a day. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Thought it might be an online translator. They always make for amusing results. I once translated this forum into Dutch using Babelfish. Even if you sought for over a year, you wouldn't find a jokebook funnier than that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Please note: Once you added an alpha map, you have to make sure the convert settings in the TX converter are correct, otherwise it won't export the alpha map.
 
What do you think of this so far, should i upload it?

should i make the words darker, if i make them to dark they are harder to read, because of the ships in the background.
 
or this

What do you think about these sails?

I like all of it! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Maybe you could write something like:

For King and Country... or for the Glorious Cause?
The fate of history is in your hands...

I like the sails too mate! I'll keep all of this in mind.

Found this piece of music on Myspace. Its from The DaVinci Code movie, by Hans Zimmer. This sounds pretty cool... could go into the game.

Thanks, what do you think about this, i am just going to try it ingame.

I think i know how to make that music the main menu music, i am just testing it now.
 
I have done it, download Total Audio Converter, you can find it on google, go to

<b><i>Pirates of the Caribbean\RESOURCE\Sounds\MUSIC</i></b>

and make a backup of <b>CutthroatIsland_Main_Theme</b>

With Total Audio Converter find where you have put the Da vinci code music, put a tick next to the mp3 file, and at the top bar next to <b>convert to:</b> select <b>OGG</b>.

Then when a bit comes up asking you were to put the converted song put it any where.
Then go to where you put the song and rename it to <b>CutthroatIsland_Main_Theme</b> then put it in

<b><i>Pirates of the Caribbean\RESOURCE\Sounds\MUSIC</i></b>.

P.S. I still need to test it, i am just downloading the music again, last time i didn't save it.
 
To change the music, you should replace the Cutthroat Island main theme that I added in the Post Build 12 mods. Not sure why you'd want to add something from The Da Vinci Code, though. That isn't really period-like music, is it?
BTW: I have a very big lot of movie music. If you need anything, just give me a sign. I have lots of pirate-related period music. Including Master and Commander and several other ones.
 
I too have CDs like M&C and PotC... the DaVinci Code's music is very energetic and dashing... sounds glorious and full of awe. I like it. Its not the title of the music, but the mood it puts you in.

Hahahahahaahaha! I translated Vice-Admiral into Dutch, hmm... I wonder if it did that for all of my countries, it translated Vice, like in Vice City, oops. I'll get that fixed. Maybe Secondary Admiral?
 
I think "Vice-Admiraal" could be a reasonably good Dutch translation. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
I will upload the loading screen to the ftp as soon as it is working.

What do you think of this, for when you are going to the Main Menu.
