One more question: in the ReadMe is says there is a new French colony added. I found the new pirate settlement on Grand Cayman but I can’t seem to locate the new French settlement. Where can I find it?
Ha ha. I disabled rats too. I found a setting in the _mod file. I don’t think rats eat gunpowder! I also reverted to the default translucent compass so I could see the ranges of my cannons. I get what you’re going for but I get annoyed by little things like that. I interpret the compass/map as the captain being aware of his surroundings and the ranges of his cannons. Thank you for keeping this great game alive with your mod though! So many great things in it, and such an improvement over GOF.
The one feature I would like to see (which I believe was in one version of GOF) would be the ability to climb the rigging and sit in the crows nest. When sailing in first person mode it can be hard to see where you’re going behind all the sails.
I finally managed to download the files, however no matter how many times I try, when I go to unpack, part20 ends up corrupted. The game still works but is missing lots of sounds. I managed to copy over a lot of them from the base install but there are many unique ones that remain missing, like gunshots.
I been trying to download this for a few days now. Been running into the 5GB limit making this difficult. First tried downloading the whole folder as a zip and that ended up being corrupted after letting the bandwidth limit countdown reset a few times. Now I’m doing individual folders and running into the same countdown issue again. Would appreciate if you could host these files in a way that made it easier to download.
I understand why you felt the need to add this feature for realism, but in my opinion it makes it hard to play the game and complete quests. This could potentially ruin some quest-lines if you get unlucky. Realism is all well and good, but I don’t think it should come at the expense of gameplay.
I tried the fix mentioned above but it didn’t seem to do anything. Does this not work on current saves and require a new game start?
Okay I did a full reinstall after my dumb mistake. The save will now load, but if I attempt to save it immediately crashes, wether or not I do the f4 trick. However, new game seems to be working as normal. No issues so far.
