Hey, we have a great, annual Shakespeare Festival in my state, too. Quite a trip for where I live, though…way south of us so I think I’ve only gone once and that was a long time ago.

Glad the rest of your family catered to your idea…but Treasure Island is considered a classic story, so maybe helped make it easier for you to convince 🙂

If you can send me a save (preferable from during a battle where you later can’t board a ship…tell the ship you attempt to board), I can take a look.

I also see that Maltacus posted a possible solution from PA!, but I am fearful that changing a function to ALWAYS return true, instead of a variable value that is intended to be possibly changing…[Read more]

I see.

My current fix allows those other heroes to continue taking delivery missions, yet still allow you to negotiate goods while that happens by eliminating the ‘busy’ factor. The only way for the other heroes to collect money (in order to upgrade their ships and such) and also progress levels and experience. Without that, any time you later…[Read more]

I have not had these cuirass/weapons problems with other characters, but have not played as Nathaniel, so this might be a problem with that specific character. I will start a game as Nathaniel and give myself those items to see if I get the same problems. If I don’t, I may need you to send me a save. I will notify you about whether I need a…[Read more]

I will need a save file to check this out.

First, if you have boarding saves enabled, you should have a save file created when you tried to enter the fort/land troops. Do you get the same hangup/freeze if you load that save then try to ‘board’ the fort again? If you do, send me that save file.

If you don’t freeze there, I want you to destroy a…[Read more]

Not sure, but I’m certain it could be done.

What upgrades were performed? I can put together a procedure to do the same upgrades you did, without cost, that you can run with F4.

I held out hope that the first option would do it, without replacing the whole ship. Too bad that didn’t work out. But, if you really want to upgrade again, but without the expense/hassle, we can probably do another console to make that happen; seems fair since you already performed the upgrades and shouldn’t have to duplicate the effort.

There…[Read more]

Tulkas, it was a question I had myself a few years ago so I tested it out.

The answer is no. Once you reach 100 points – that’s all you get, so you can drop, sell, or stash the extra stuff into your ship’s chest. I always get rid of all of the extra unnecessary books and items once I get to 100 – unless its just really cool stuff I like, such as…[Read more]

WOW! Vincent WOW!,

I have thoroughly read your “novel” and I am impressed with both the dedication to get the ideas out there and several that we had not thought about before. This is awesome! Thank you bud! We will definitely do some of the things you suggest.

FIRST OFF though: Let me express my thanks by telling you that with your long…[Read more]

Hmmm, a novel? Contrary to that ‘other’ reaction in ‘some places,’ we don’t respond with essentially a TL;DR, I actually enjoy reading lengthy thoughts. I will respond to some of them.

1. The mind-boggling number of quests/side quests. Indeed, this has been the topic of conversation between MK and myself and he is of similar mind. In fact,…[Read more]

You’re welcome Madz,

So take a look at the different versions of the Black Pearl you see. Most of them are textured completely differently. I left I think only one dark version in the game and it will appear randomly. So that ship is called Armed English Merchantman in the game because that’s what she looks like.

I prefer my more realistic…[Read more]

Look at what I just stumbled across. I have never even heard of this before.

Has anyone played this?

Can someone tell me if its any good?

This looks fun and pretty cool as well.

It’s cheap as heck! I am too busy to give it a try right now with all of the stuff I am working on with our own game, but maybe I will download it for later.…[Read more]

Probably the Mod Option for realistic spyglass. Load your game, then Esc to show menu. Select Options, the lower right of the next screen Mod Options.

At the top, is Realistic Spyglasses…make sure it is Off. Accept. Now, the best spyglasses should show the details you are looking for.

So for those modelers who want to submit Pirates of the Burning Sea ships I wanted to provide the exact contract verbiage as given to me by a dev a long while back and also quoted to me by one of the original modelers.

After you copy over the files, load a save, and then use F4 key. You should see an “Operation Successful” in the upper right message. Then try to remove/fix your ship’s cannons. If it doesn’t work, you may have to replace your current ship with a replacement of the…[Read more]

I got it figured and fixed. Let me package this up and get it out.

It required another cannon locator added to the model (one was missing). You will now end up with 2 more cannons on that ship as there are really 32 per side in the model, instead of the defined 31 in ships_init.c. You will have to get the new model, then run a console.c fix to…[Read more]

AGREED!

I am looking forward to seeing more of that model! From the pictures you showed me I think she will be an absolute beauty.

So to your question:

Good question with regards to submitting models for the contest and I just wrote a more thorough response via PM. My thoughts are that paragraph 6 of the modeling rules define part of the…[Read more]
