Alright, thanks for clarifying! Good to know, since my fave color is blue anyways 🙂 Apologies for my ignorance about ship colors, as well

There is, but it’s not a trivial task. The extra dialogs for the ship options (copied from Bermudes) need to be appended to the string array for each shipyard in the ProgramTextrussianDialogsShipyard*.h files and the array resized to accommodate the newly added lines.

Then the shipyard dialog logic implementations need to be copied from Bermudes…[Read more]

Not bugged. There are 4 color combinations for that ship. You can tell how many variations we have for each ship under its texture directory. This one has hull1-hull4, so there are 4 different color schemes. They are randomly assigned to the ship.

We also added an option to the original game, where you can pay the shipyarder to randomly…[Read more]

I didn’t know Notepad++ can do that kind of search function! Thank you for both bringing that to my attention and the solution! Cheers, and have a happy December!

How and what to edit depends on the perk and its effect type. Here is a way to seek them out in the code.

First, find the actual perk attribute name. Do this by opening file RESOURCEINItextsrussianAbilityDescribe.txt

Scrolling through the file, we find where Clever Shot equates to the GunProfessional:

GunProfessional {Clever Shot}

We can…[Read more]

Ahh, that explains it. If I may, the thought came across my mind and I would like to suggest something regarding the possible interface design of the repaint feature: how about using the default inventory/shop interface, with the paint schemes being described by just simple, vague-ish text (e.g. Black Hull and White Stripes, Brown Hull with Yellow…[Read more]

Thanks for answering all my questions succinctly as always, Jeffrey! 😀 The inventory tweak and the console command is so useful. I mistakenly gave the wrong officer a good weapon so I really wanted to take it back. Thanks for making it a reality!

Oh, also keep in mind that the officers will always sift through their inventory every time you give them something, so even if you equip them with something particular, the very next time you place something in their inventory/trade with them, they will requip themselves with what they consider to be the best items again in all categories. Even…[Read more]

There is no way to select a particular paint scheme right now. There are two reasons. First, we can’t just display the ship texture files because there are many attributed to any ship, they are not consistent and they are also a scrambled, random jigsaw, so don’t display well as a 2D image.

So, this would mean that we would need to display a…[Read more]

There is no way to unequip your officers by design. The thinking is that once you hand over any sort of weapon or good, it is a gift and your officers can make their own decision. If you would like to change that in your game, find script file: ProgramINTERFACEitems.c. Find this function:

void SetVariable()

Within that function, change the…[Read more]

Also while I’m here, I’d like to ask if there is a way to specifically choose the design when repainting my ship in the shipyard, or is the process random?

Some new screenshots from my successful run in with a Spanish Treasure fleet. I had three very large ships full of men and two middling sized ships with upgrades. I was leaving Portobello as part of a Governor’s quest when suddenly the treasure fleet emerged. There were 21 ships in the Flota this time. 37 is the most I’ve encountered in one and…[Read more]
