Maltacus! Nice screen shots man! Thank you for posting them. I noticed you like those sky and water combinations and a little haze on the horizon. I can tell you that when I first took on the task of changing our waters, weather and sky that eliminating haze was one of my top priorities to give the Caribbean the lighter brighter look it has in…[Read more]

Just a couple things…

@Jack, I have that same ship and it doesn’t do that in my game. Just as with the flickering that has been described I think it may be in your hardware or video card settings. If you have a newer SMART video card you can have it analyze the game and change and maximize its settings specifically for our game. What are your…[Read more]

I want to make sure that everyone is up to date on what we are doing with the game. First off I don’t think a lot of people read everything in the read me’s or in the ongoing discussions other places. This is no big surprise as some of our threads are now VERY cluttered with over 700 posts on a single page.

First off, how many realize that as of…[Read more]

You’re braver than I am Old Timer,

I NEVER take on the Isabella quest until I am at least level 10 to 15 and have the curaiss armor, shootist, cleaver shot, and some of the sword fighting perks. Those guys at the Cathedral are bugger hard and I have been there. 30 times plus 30 times.

@Craiggo, I will have to put a list together of the characters with armor. I am actually working on a bunch more as we speak. I have Alonso Ramirez and Amaro Pargo finished. Jeffrey did some additional magic and was able to figure out how to get multiple animations to work with one character. What that means now is that I can have many different…[Read more]

Yeah faces can be tricky. I have hundreds of cut out photo shop faces now. I think I would try to make Modyford’s face fill in the space better. His head looks too small for all of the wig hair. What made you want to change Modyford?

MK

yeah the only time soldiers get involved is when they get hit by a stray bullet or sword slash. I have actually used that as strategy many times ensuring I am between the soldiers when bounty hunters or enemies are after me. As soon as the bounty hunters hit a soldier, they jump in on your side. Faction neutrality and REACTIONS FUNCTIONS are…[Read more]

Oldtimer,

I appreciate the input! Thanks. Some good recommendations here.

Agreed with number 1 and Jeffrey’s assessment

Agreed with number 2 and Jeffrey’s assessment. My recommendation is for auto draw every time. This has really never bothered me, but I have been playing this game forever, and I am adept with the sword in it. Its like…[Read more]

Jack,

Have you tried moving the new camera view scroll toggle in the options menu (left side of menu/screen) until it suits you? All the way left everything is zoomed in very close and all the way to the right everything is zoomed out. You may want to tinker with that until you like what you see.

Thanks for the screenshots Ians! Love the moustache! Bart Robert’s Royal Fortune is a rare and wonderful ship indeed!

@ Craiggo, Mod update is out – time NOW!!! Go to the main download link.

MK

Thanks for the heads up Maltacus.

Yeah we will get rid of it. We might use those in the future in the DLCs somewhere or quests, but after you take the ship you could change it to a regular sail when you repair it. None of the ships in the game should have shredded sail textures. Some have the stripped or patched or black or crimson sails – but…[Read more]

@ Malticus, Wow Dude screenshots! Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah as I wrote earlier in this topic, the site caused new responses to post in the middle when I added new screenshots – after I combined the two screenshots topics. (don’t know why????) When our website is rebuilt by a professional (SOON in negotiations…[Read more]

OK WOW! So this discussion on sails threw me for a loop. An ugly moldy texture should not be appearing on standard ships. Sure I have some patched ones (a new black one in the update which looks much more realistic which I just did a few weeks ago in fact) – but this texture you mention is not in my game. So I got thinking and then I realized just…[Read more]

@ Jack,

That sometimes happens to me, but only if I am running a bunch of other stuff on my computer. If I optimize my machine before game play it never occurs. Also make sure your check you properties in the config file. Right click and then hit the compatibility tab. Select your OS and check boxes as appropriate for graphics. Disconnect from…[Read more]

OK Sorry Mates,

Jeffrey and I in our final testing have found a half dozen last minute bugs. They are all fixed but one. Once that one is squashed we will get the update out. I have full confidence in Jeffrey’s abilities to figure out what is going on. Its actually an old bug and Jeffrey wants to get to the bottom of it in the source back end. We…[Read more]
