@Craiggo: The fmodex sound file that I ended up using is not even from an Akella game. I ripped it open and added to it. It works better than any other fmodex file I have tried. Is this with the no hud mod that its doing this? Usually I only lose sound for a few seconds with the new file.

hey craiggo, yeh its truly a masterpiece, oh and he said theres a patch to come out by this month most likely! SO you have something to look forward to very closely ^^

OH MY GAWD, YOU DID IT! THose islands are awesome!!! THIS is so great I cant express it. Im so looking forward to the new patch… This will truly rule out what mod is the greatest mod of all Pirate age mods!!! Imagine what is possible with that. You could add so many regions, provided the game can cope with it!!! I bet the PA guys will be pretty…[Read more]

AWESOME! Enjoy my friend. I really want to hear your opinion! I need your help on a project I’m working on. Also we can talk more – but I would like you to lead up the effort on MOD3 when I have it ready. I have not reskinned a lot of the later Era ships and they could use the famous Craigo touch.

So as promised. Here’s an update on what I am working on.

– Character Index 90+ percent complete (citizen and officer model renaming complete – testing still required)
– New characters 90 percent done. Animation problem with new swashbuckler character resolved.
– New items finished (although still looking for more ideas) – found a few new…[Read more]

Hi Craig,

Did you get my e-mail? Did you try what I suggested?

MK

That is indeed something to shoot for. I think it might be possible if we adapt the same code in the Port Controller into the shipyard. However, the same issues would apply. So your crew would have to come off of the ship when its left for repairs. I would also have to figure out some simple code to add to give the game instructions on how much…[Read more]

This is a great idea Dennis! I believed I responded about this privately – thought it has posted here but evidently not.

If I was still playing on the same version everyone else has I would post multiple save games for folks. When the patch goes out. I will post multiple saves here so people can see my world and crew.

I do not know where that calculation occurs in the files. In the source code which I have and have been making myself more and more acquainted with I have noticed some files concerning time. It may be in there.

I can tell you though from personal experience of playing the game thousands of hours in the last seven+ years that its never more than…[Read more]

Sorry folks if I made the character index problem seem like something easy to fix.

It has been an ongoing headache that I almost have done. Your clues and input have helped me very much.

Kuroi that error message is another manifestation of the character index problem. Once I have the pirates, officers and citizens renamed to a consistent…[Read more]

Take a look at the answers I gave Dennis on ships stats.

In general Warships have much less cargo space than their merchant equivalents because their ribbing/framing was much heavier/thicker and closer together. In addition the ribbing came into the hull much deeper restricting the space much more than merchantmen. Certain merchantmen are going…[Read more]

Thanks Dennis. Yes I can ALWAYS use help. The more you look at files and play with them the more you will come to acquaint yourself with coding in the game.

I took C in school as well as FORTRAN and I was raised on ADA and Basic. I used to write games in basic when I was a kid. So I know how code works and have certifications in computer…[Read more]

I actually don’t think there is a so called “Best Ship” Dennis.

The way the random stats generator works in COAS is that it will generate ships with a wide variance of different stats from the baseline that is set in the Ships_init file. So even if I have made Spanish galleons as a rule very slow, you might find a fast one rarely or every now…[Read more]

double post.

Still figuring out all the web master tools….

Its not just in one file but several. Also I have to rename a bunch of models to get it to work right as well.

On the Battleships I suppose we could do that here if everyone agrees. Make any 1st rate the equivalent of the Manowars you need to complete quest requirements.

I will put it on the “To DO” list. Its down a little ways though….
