Mr. Jeffrey,

several blades become available at lvl 6 not only “blade29”. Which value should I change to make only that blade to appear at lvl 1, irand or?

Rgds, Oldtimer

@Jeffrey, Filipe

THX for your attn., anyway, I have changed “rare” values for 2 weak but fun pistols and I am quite happy with that. I will not tamper with items in stores,(except for blade 29, maybe) as I do not find it necessary.

My gripe is that the selection of weapons at lvl 1 and 2 is so limited that it is not fun especially if playing…[Read more]

I’ll see about possibly coming up with something, though no promises.

Also, while I’m thinking about it, I wanted to mention one more thing I’d like to see done by the dev team going forward. In particular, I’d like to see Orazio go through the collection of ship models we already have, and fix up the ones that the team plans of keeping. The…[Read more]

That cannon ability will take effect with the various gunner implements when either you or your gunner have them.

I also finally changed the fact that the Storm Engine never switched the billow direction for square sails on ships like this:

I’ve changed that. Also, the perpendicular square sails, when meeting a…[Read more]

That’s really good, Jeffrey, awesome work! The only other change I would like to see is to make the aiming indicator/reticle easier to see – it’s so small that it can be hard to see sometimes, especially in in the dark. I’d like to see something a bit thicker and/or more prominent so that it’s easier to see both the reticle and the color…[Read more]

The .level and .rare settings only affect what will be found in corpse loots. For trader/store, those settings are ignored and only certain weapons are available. There is leveling there too, but it doesn’t use the settings. For trader items, another function is used, in file scripts/utils.c, called GiveItemToTrader().

In that function,…[Read more]

Blade29 chance = 0.1;
Blade82 chance = 0.01; – min level = 16.
Pistol33 chance = 0.001;
Pistol41 chance = 0.001.

Other than the Conquistador all weapons should be available, tho those pistols will be a little harder than the Schiavona to find.
I took a look and the number of 0s is like the chance in any common RPG so 0.1 would be common, 0.01…[Read more]

Hi,

I do not know how to go to an unloaded town but I got the ids needed from the store I was visiting.
I modified the initItems.c and did not see any modded item in stores while playing for a while.

When should I reinit? I did it in the Options from the start screen before starting a new playthrough.

BUT, for the items I wanted…[Read more]

First, you need to know the items id, this can be done by pressing f11 and going to Installation on the right bottom side to enable the BetaTestMode then go to an unloaded town and check the items in any shop to get the ids.
After that go to ProgramITEMSinitItems.c to change the line “itm.minlevel = x” of the particular item id. Just be sure to…[Read more]

Hi all,

an idea for a possibly bloodless quest(s) could be to restore damaged magical item(s) to working order. There is at least one such item in the game.

Tartane de Negoce and Small Caravel also have full and furled sail only. Maybe others too. I thought it might affect Class 7 as whole but French Armed Tartane has battle sails.

Hi all,

Barco Costero seems to have only full sail or furled positions. No battle sails.

Swords from quizzes are described by quest givers as heavy, medium and light. All are medium. Not good for immersion and role playing.

ITEMS leveling

Hi all,

I have been critical to leveling of items and by now I think that this might be connected to mine playing at reduced XP gain speed, by half. That`s why I generally have much better loadout from loot/roadside/chest finds when items I earlier wished for become available in shops.

I would like to make Conquistador, Cookson…[Read more]

Just came back here after remembering how I could check if I registered two years ago. I am so dumb to forget about the possibility to ask for a new password 🙂 :D. I was never an active member since the last two years were somewhat stressfull for me (getting married, get a son, finished my degree). I purchased a couple of weeks ago MAELSTROM and…[Read more]

Hmm, I see that same problem with New Horizons. Whoops.

Anyway, great news it was a simple fix and I’ll be sure to update them on Itch. However, if you have automatic update from Itch, it will overwrite that file again with my screen resolution, so you may need to put it back after it updates. I intend to never update that start.ini so I don’t…[Read more]

It’s running! thanks for the heads up!

P.S. the same problem arose on New Horizons, did the same thing, fixed it too.

That is my mistake. I accidentally uploaded my personal start.ini file for that game and it contains all the POTC resource in E:POTCItch. You don’t want that…

Find where the Program and RESOURCE folders for POTC were placed on your machine when you downloaded. Open start.ini in a text editor and change the very first…[Read more]

Hello, I have a problem with BotC on Maelstrom, It won’t launch, she gives me an error regarding Xinterface or something…

Galleon Legero cannons will be fixed in next update.

However, I checked both the Fifty Gunner and French Fifty and I can’t seem to understand the “invisible additional ladders” you speak of. I looked at all hull textures for both ships and nothing looks wrong to me.
