Some suggestions

Couldn't find anywhere else to ask this: Are the treasure quests only just given by random dudes on the street, cos I can never find them!
 
Indeed they are only given by the random characters. It occurs purely randomly and if you keep talking to random people,
you'll get a treasure quest eventually. Of course the maps tend to be pretty expensive, so make sure you've got the money.

Whether there's treasure or not is random. Sometimes there is, sometimes there isn't. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Ye, If you remove the sword from against the tombstone there is the cross ....
 
That happens randomly; sometimes it's there, sometimes it isn't. Hopefully one day we can fix that one. It's annoying. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Another thing like this I have noticed is sometimes location/character pictures will disappear from the top left corner.
This doesn't effect anything really though
 
Shouldn't there be someone who makes you pay to moor your ship at a pier or pay to enter the harbour? Perhaps such as in that house in Port Royale Port?

I reckon that should be included in a realistic toggle, it does sound like a good idea :D

I used the slave plantation in Jack Sparrow and freed them (worked a treat :D)

It shouldnt be too hard to implement. Do you reckon it is worth it?

No it wouldn't be hard to set up
- universal dialog file
- Mooring guy put in every town

Like I said, for players who wish it to be realistic would think its worth it but then again other players would hate the waste of money.

What I suggest is write it up and see if you can get it to work ;)

Also do you know how to go about making the price to moor go up for the bigger ship (just for more realism) :D
 
not quite sure, i'm not the best at coding this game but i think it should go up above a certain class of ship for simplicity, not individual ones. Maybe the price could be high for actually placing ur ship on the jetty. There should be way more little rowing boats and fishing boats around the docks by the way.

if (PChar.Ship.Class == 1)
if (PChar.Ship.Class == 2)
etc.
That should hopefully work ;)

As for docks I reckon that would be quite hard to code in :?

OK thanks, btw do u no why i cant set my model as various people such as cutler beckett?

If you are trying to do it in Jack Sparrow it won't work ;)

Any other quest though it should, the reason for Jack Sparrow is it shows you as Jack Sparrow first and then it changes you to a random character to get told the story.

Any other storyline just change the model on the line
Code: 
sl.(sn).start.model = "[model]";
in PROGRAM/Storyline/[Storyline].c ;)
 
Oh, ok then, that makes sense. I found that the head port house guy in port royal could have his dialog changed very easily.
 
Sounds like a fun idea and would ensure that the "you need to pay mooring"
dialog in the Jack Sparrow storyline doesn't come dropping out of thin air.
It could also encourage people to use alternate moorings instead.

As for more small ships and checking whether a ship is moored alongside the jetty,
that's another story. At the moment the whole "ships on locators in ports" thing is not yet sophisticated enough.
As you might've noticed, the game doesn't care if you have a Manowar and just puts that alongside
(read: through) the jetty without any regard for size. So that goes a bit more complicated.

For the models, some models aren't added in PROGRAM\Models\initModels.c,
which could be the reason why they don't work for you.
Beckett is indeed not added in that file.
All unadded characters don't have portraits yet; those still need to be made.
Eventually. If we can convince somebody to do it. :razz
 
I made a really good ship surrender, but I already had four ships. So I was wondering if it is possible to tow a ship?

If the ship has surrended swap ships with one of your officers and then you can board the surrended ship and exchange ;)

Meaning you get the good ship and don't loose your ship (just one of your officers) :rofl
