1) can you build a house/own land on the game beace ive seen bricks and this ailitie that seems to have to do with farming

2) im the black pearl but you have a download to edit the cabin and thomas the terror edited the port how do i download these

3) can i edit the ship's hull and make my own sails rather than the one you have got

4) also can i make my own buildings in town a bit of modding of my own <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> but i will need help with the software stuff for the modding

1) If you have Build 13 Final or Build 13 + Update 3 (they're the same thing), then you have the BuildingSet mod that allows you to talk to an officer and build stuff ingame. You can walk through the walls and the buildings are glow-in-the-dark, but it's either that or NO building set. If you don't like it, you can choose not to use it. You can build anywhere you like (including inside... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> ) and the dialog of the residents offer additional gameplay features.

You can own land and you get money from the crops you grow there, but it is land in Europe that you can't actually visit. It just adds to your status and person wealth. You can get land by getting a Letter of Marque from one of the nations and being promoted.

Bricks are pretty much unused right now, but they will be given a greater use at some point. Probably as a part of the BuildingSet mod.

2) Adding the Black Pearl cabin is only easy if you have one of the latest Build 14 Alpha versions like the not-so-stable Alpha 8 WIP 1. Same thing for the port in deck view mod. This will all be implemented in Alpha 8 and the eventually Build 14 Final. Best to wait for that if you want a stablish game version.

3) Sure. Get the TX Converter from the Modding Tools section of the forum downloads or my own website (see my signature). You can then convert the hull/sail texture to TGA, edit them in a graphics program and convert them back.

4) There's some possibilities there, but it's a lot more complicated than changing some textures. You need to actually do modeling and we haven't yet figured out how to use Maya + Akella's modding tools properly. But you would be welcome to try. SOMEONE has to find out how it works, so why not you? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
