To date, you are the only one that has ever had this…

Here’s how they work:

Perks

ProgramINTERFACEcharacter_all.c

These lines set the icon:

GameInterface.TABLE_PERKS.(row).td1.icon.group = icoGroup;
GameInterface.TABLE_PERKS.(row).td1.icon.image = perkName;

The icon.group corresponds to the name used in RESOURCEINIinterfacespictures.ini,…[Read more]

No, that was indeed the entire joke in that statement: You the person, did not find the robber story believable, but ‘you’ the character did, so that’s why I think my story that I made up was true…your character bought the waitress’ claim as truth, so that’s why I thought everything I said might actually be true, about the character’s inability…[Read more]

I’m sorry you got offended…my story for your character was supposed to be a joke about how your character was tricked by the waitress and other drinkers, and that the character was gullible enough to believe their story about the ‘robbers’ when there weren’t any and the waitress was just using that robber story to hide the fact she and the other…[Read more]

OK, I’ll tell you the real story that happens in the tavern…

You passed out from too much booze…a lightweight who can’t handle your liquor while trying to scam gossip from the hardcore barflies.

While you were passed out, the waitress and other patrons, laughed a little, then conspired to take your money, then lie about it, telling you a…[Read more]

I copy/pasted the relevant part from the message and sent you a PM.

I think you can still get to it.

Upper right, click your name and you should see a short menu. Hover down to Messages, another short menu, click All Member Notices. You should see it there.

That link was taken down after it was incorporated into the last update a few weeks ago.

Jolie Rouge is correct, but keep in mind that changing HeroDescribe.txt will only affect new games. To change existing games, character animation attribute has to be changed through some console code to check.

Also, as Jolie mentions, this can have adverse effects in rendering as some animations completely wreck and distort the character, as…[Read more]

There is more content coming out soon, but in the meantime, since some AI updates have been done, a couple script changes/fixes, I went ahead and put that out:

It still does not support the higher poly character models, as that will only be distributed when the first character…[Read more]

I found about 5 weather hour settings that looked bad, played with some other values that look better, without the noticeable pattern. This will be in the next update coming soon and you can try that out, with foam enabled again, to see what you think.

Hey, no problem.

For more information, can you tell me what part resolved it? Was it just starting with an empty folder and copying the core files in, without the original game, or did you also have to run DXSETUP to fix it?

Strange. I don’t yet know why it happened, but you can fix it with the console. Put this in the console.c, nothing else:

void ExecuteConsole()
{
chrDisableReloadToLocation = false;
Log_SetStringToLog("Success");
}

Load the game, while at sea, press F4. You will now be able to enter Bodden’s Landing, or anywhere else that is locked.…[Read more]

Aware of that one too, but other ship obstacles are handled differently than islands, so that particular problem is still something that needs work. But at least we’re much better off than before.

Still looking into some of the other common problems. Then perhaps start adding some better battle tactics too…

You ever go to sea from port, in say a place like Bermudes, and if you’re not paying much attention, after a few seconds you hear that CRUNCH, as one or more of your companion ships decided to make a U-turn and crash into the shore? Breaking a mast, doing some damage…irritating, right?

Well, that’s another one gone. Shouldn’t ever…[Read more]

I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t think all the missions need to be completed for one town mayor and can be several. The number is random, between 5 and 10 for when he will offer you the LoM.

First, it looks like you may have the original game, mixed with this one. The fmodex.dll skipped and the 59 loaded lead me to surmise this. Don’t do that.

Remove: start.exe, config.exe, the modules folder and fmodex.dll, and any other .dll files from your game folder, then copy the EngineUpdate.zip stuff back into the game directory. Your…[Read more]

What are the symptoms after you attempt launch? Anything?

Some things to try for troubleshooting:

Is the Buccaneer’s Reef file in the same directory as start.exe?
If the game is in a subdirectory of Program Files or Program Files (x86) set it to Run as Administrator
Make sure the start.exe is set to Compatibility Mode for Win XP (right…[Read more]

You need to have at least one unit of contraband, on any ship in your squadron (they are red items in the store). After accepting the mayor mission, go to the tavern (or to the store first and buy at least one contraband; you need it for the correct smuggler dialog to show) and speak to the smuggler and tell him you want to sell. They will…[Read more]

As far as I know, the only reason for a LoM, is to engage a national quest line. I can’t think of anywhere that it provides any benefit, other than that.

If you attack any ships your base nation (regardless the flag you currently fly, but your base nation that you started the game) is at war/unfriendly, it does no harm toward any nation that is…[Read more]
