Someone told me that was a feature in Caribbean Tales Supermod…it played softcore. I guess some folks at PA! and across this game’s community thought it was terribly offensive and took it out, LOL.

In ProgramQuestsquests_reaction.c, find this:

I just took a look at the sail behavior of the Snauw and it looks correct to me. Here’s what changed:

When the wind is coming from behind the ship, I kept the same sail behavior for square sails as it seems fine; no change there. What I changed, is that as the ship turns, and the wind approaches close to perpendicular to the ship, the original…[Read more]

Also, any comments on the other ideas I mentioned, but which you didn’t mention as denied or finished?

I was considering/exploring some of them…like this one.

expand the camera angles in first person.

While exploring the possibility, I found that I was backward on my assessment of the problems viewing the PC in 1st person, but the problems r…[Read more]

– Combat music continues to play until a scene transition after defeating rapists.

Now fixed in all COAS versions.

– The sound effects from the opening menu continue to play during the intro/tutorial scene when starting a new game, should probably be fixed.

I found that is a holdover from original COAS; it’s not really noticeable unless the main menu is raining, so it was missed. I fixed it in all versions.

– The new sail billow direction could maybe use…

– Allow players to sort Trade tab lists alphabetically: This was impossible to do with the original engine as there was no way to rationally compare alpha strings in a less-than/greater-than fashion; that logic does not exist. For whatever reason, the internal script compiler will compare strings for equality/inequality correctly, but for l…[Read more]

– allow players to navigate command menus with the scroll wheel: I made the up/down/left/right command navigation selectable in the control mapping options, so now you can remap the command navigation to mouse scroll

The following, I can virtually guarantee won’t be done:

– No energy cost for dodging in combat: We disagree with the premise

-First person eliminate head bob from the first person camera: The reason this happens is that instead of idle characters standing like statues when AFK, they have idle animation to look more natural. Since the camera i…[Read more]

So far, here’s what I’ve got:

– Treat dead bodies like containers, and use the command/action key to loot them when walking over them: DONE
– Have dead bodies remain where they fall permanently until a scene transition/loading screen: Kinda…just extended timeout to 5 minutes.
– First person make the view point carry through loading screens: DON…[Read more]

Oldtimer,

As the label “Historic” implies, they will be actual real battles that occured we are recreating. So when you open the DLC it will show you a menu of four battles. (Each DLC has four for $7 dollars) Then you can click on each one and read a historical narrative about what happened at the battle.

Then you can choose the option to start…[Read more]

Hello Oldtimer,

I agree about the consistency and you should understand that consistency is something that I have improved over time. Just look at speed and ship handling since 2013. Look at how much the scale has increased. Ships never had speeds below 10 in COAS and the old GOF mods. Now we have ships as slow as 6. I plan on scaling that down…[Read more]

@Vincent So I haven’t seen the last two POTC movies. I was unhappy with where the franchise was going.

I did really like the first one even though it was set in the completely wrong time – 1750. They have continued to attempt to bring out the old piratey stuff to include ship designs from the 17th century and mix them with the Nelsonian era…[Read more]

There are a couple possibilities:

If you forgot to equip your Patent in your inventory, a governor will not “know” you.

If you had a patent, but no longer have one, you might have hurt or fired upon a friendly. That will remove your patent and you will have to obtain another one. Don’t ever shoot friendly or allied nation ships, soldiers, etc.…[Read more]

This is fair. I notice the character doesn’t really strafe right/left while running anyway, so penalizing energy for something the character doesn’t really do is unfair. I did what you asked and it will be available in next update.

I’m gonna jump in here for a minute. Vincent, I love your enthusiasm Mate!

I just wanna mention a few things.

1st: We are all really busy. Jeffrey continues to AMAZE me! He had 104 items on our priority list a couple months back and he has it down to around 80 now.

…and we keep adding things to it. A conversation on Discord the other day…[Read more]

You listed 3 ships: BarcoCostero, Tartane de Negoce and Small Caravel.

I have a February 2018 copy of the engine/game and I loaded up all 3 of those ships, tested the battle sails. Then I loaded the most current version of the game and tried all same ships. There is no difference in sail behavior between the old game and the new. Which also…[Read more]

Those battle sails are a function of how the model is built/designed and how the sails are defined. If some, or a particular model don’t react to the usual feature of half sails up, incrementally, the model needs adjustment; I don’t do that sort of thing because I don’t know the specifics of ship modeling.

Hiya Vincent,

Well Jeffrey is planning to expand the flag texture even larger because I have found some more historical flags for our period I want to include. I LOVE correct historical variety and flavor. This was a time of NON uniformity. I think that is one of the reasons why I love it so much more than the later 18th century Nelson era that…[Read more]

Stickied to top of thread:

EDIT: LOTS happening folks. Dennis who is our Discord group guy asked me to sticky the information about the Discord group here. Good discussions happening there and more activity than I expected. Here it is: https://discord.gg/Ps3zMtP

My thanks to Dennis for putting this together for us.
