@Vincent So I haven’t seen the last two POTC movies. I was unhappy with where the franchise was going.

I did really like the first one even though it was set in the completely wrong time – 1750. They have continued to attempt to bring out the old piratey stuff to include ship designs from the 17th century and mix them with the Nelsonian era…[Read more]

There are a couple possibilities:

If you forgot to equip your Patent in your inventory, a governor will not “know” you.

If you had a patent, but no longer have one, you might have hurt or fired upon a friendly. That will remove your patent and you will have to obtain another one. Don’t ever shoot friendly or allied nation ships, soldiers, etc.…[Read more]

This is fair. I notice the character doesn’t really strafe right/left while running anyway, so penalizing energy for something the character doesn’t really do is unfair. I did what you asked and it will be available in next update.

I was preparing to do the dutch quest line were you defend fort orange, but when i went back to Stuyvesant, he said he doesn’t know me.. What could I have done? I dont think i talked to the pirate gov. on Bermuda.. I did talk to one pirate gov though thinking i could gamble with him, but i fear i did that which your not supposed to do when on a…[Read more]

What does the future of this game look like? MK and Jeffrey, have you guys thought about starting a Patreon/crowd funding account for funds to maybe create a new game using a unity engine or something? One that is along the lines of AOP2 but more modern and refined? You guys seem very dedicated and driven by your love for this game and time…[Read more]

I would like to see the energy cost removed when you’re running with the blade unsheeted and press the button to go slightly sideways but not dashing to the side to dodge an attack, I normally run with the blade unsheeted inside caves and use A or D to maneuver objects instead of doing with the camera as I find it kind dizzy and in doing so I lose…[Read more]

BIG THX to you dear devs for your dedication. I have a few cats in need of skinning as per above and will try to leave them at that for now.

Come to think of it, why not post both on TW and here?

I’m gonna jump in here for a minute. Vincent, I love your enthusiasm Mate!

I just wanna mention a few things.

1st: We are all really busy. Jeffrey continues to AMAZE me! He had 104 items on our priority list a couple months back and he has it down to around 80 now.

…and we keep adding things to it. A conversation on Discord the other day…[Read more]

Hey guys, wanted to leave a few comments.

For Orazio, how’s progress on the new Willemstad? I’m very excited for that project in particular, as I plan to make it Svendsen’s main base of operations in a series of personal story quests that I’m dreaming up for him.

To ModernKnight, when can we get the files for the modelling project? I’m excited…[Read more]

Thanks, MK. I’m trying to make a texture based on the look of the Dying Gull from PotC5. Basically, it’s going to be the characters first ship, so I wanted something that was an old, rotten, leaky tub (“It’s a piece of junk!” to quote a famous movie line…) – but it’s YOURS. So, any advice you could give on how I would go about achieving such a…[Read more]

Jeffrey, could you be just a little more specific about how to make my character start only in Willemstad? Should I use the first method you talked about, or should I try to use the second, and can you give me a bit more information about how to code it in? I’m a complete coding noob, so a lot of the info flies over my head even if I can make out…[Read more]

Hi,

I looked at your notes and cannot see where player ship and its data are located. To be clear what I want is to change data for ship given to player at start of a playthrough.

The code to paste for officers to follow, where paste it? For every possible location separately?

Rgds, Oldtimer

I have some notes about modding written down here that are relevant for most of the latest questions:

Work in progress.

Mr. Jeffrey,

THX for checking this but if triangle sails can be reduced on French Armed Tartane is this a special design feature for this lateen rigged ship only? It has two masts and furls one of them. The Negoce also has two masts and does not.

And was this so even earlier in the game as I seem to remember that at one time all ships could…[Read more]

You listed 3 ships: BarcoCostero, Tartane de Negoce and Small Caravel.

I have a February 2018 copy of the engine/game and I loaded up all 3 of those ships, tested the battle sails. Then I loaded the most current version of the game and tried all same ships. There is no difference in sail behavior between the old game and the new. Which also…[Read more]

Hi all,

a while ago I asked how to change performance of players specific ship. Just that individual ship.

I also got an answer but… I cannot find it here anymore… I wanted to start tweaking this now and would very much appreciate advice on changing speed, manouver and point of sail for player ship.

Rgds, Oldtimer

Agree with that.

Mr. Jeffrey,

thing is that battle sails worked on the ships in question earlier but after latest or maybe second latest update stopped working. Would a save be of any help?

Rgds, Oldtimer

Those battle sails are a function of how the model is built/designed and how the sails are defined. If some, or a particular model don’t react to the usual feature of half sails up, incrementally, the model needs adjustment; I don’t do that sort of thing because I don’t know the specifics of ship modeling.
