That sounds like a better solution, and a lot easier to mod.

How do you set an armor item to require or not require the cuirass skill to be worn (such as the French fencing gloves)? How do you do the same with pistols and the shooting skills?
Would it be possible to link swords to a fencing skill in the same manner?

Currently the breastplates made of metal together with other materials are all outclassed by even the English placard, and by the time you have the cuirass skill those are widely available. I propose that those low-level breastplates should be changed to not require the cuirass skill, like the corsair officer girdle. I see two arguments for…[Read more]

I really can’t find it, neither when I look or use the search function. Here is how the function looks for me:
void BerglarsInit()
{
ref sld;
pchar.questTemp.tugs.berglarState = 1;
pchar.questTemp.tugs.berglarSentJons = “SentJons_TownCave”;
pchar.questTemp.tugs.berglarSentJons.hp = 160;

I can’t find case “Step_overAll” in LSC_Q2Utilite.c, can you paste a portion of the code to show where it is?
.
Would changes to LAi_location.c be compatible with saved games or do they have effect only when you start a new one?

Where is the quest with the six murderers defined/coded (those that want the hero to go with them to the local cave and dungeon before midnight)? How is it that officers can’t follow into the cave when the quest is active while they can otherwise?
Where is the text for the dialogue in the quests written?

The old and damaged ships that citizens wish to sell are, even att he beginning with low trading skill, cheaper to buy than what the local shipwright will pay for them. Is that intentional? I can see the logic of selling something cheaply in a pirate town with no shipwright and ship market of its own but otherwise one wonders why the lady or…[Read more]

@modernknight1
The cannon mod that you have mentioned, how complete is that work? Do you have any material that could be useful to share even though the whole work is not ready, like guidelines, source material, spreadsheet/tables?

Many ships appear to be very heavily armed and crewed, both compared to sources about ships of somewhat similar…[Read more]

Awesome.
I haven’t had the opportunity to storm a town yet but France and the United Provinces changed relations in a new game of mine so the changes seems to be working so far.

From the looks of it, concole.c governs at least some of the ship upgrades and some other things. Won’t those features disappear if I replace everything, or is the code in console.c redundant?

I can’t find “bWorldAlivePause = true” anywhere in console.c, where should I type in “bWorldAlivePause = false”?
There is such an entry in the file seadogs.c though, could that be it instead of console.c?
How will this affect saved games, is it save-game compatible?

@Filipe
A great deal of things, two of them being the rate of experience gain and the wages of your crew. I’m unfortunately not very knowledgeable about the other effects.

Now my own question; how can I make it possible to capture colonies for whoever I have a letter of marque from, or for myself, right from the start?
Supposing I want a…[Read more]

The English have sentenced the officer in the prison to hang the next day according to Morgan so if you make him a permanently lasting character you might want to edit the dialogue too and change that part of the backstory. Otherwise, if you want to maintain the urgency the quest currently presents, the officer could be give a lifespan of two days…[Read more]

Ah, yes that item filter was a neat thing indeed. Very convenient changes, the item management and looting of chests is a tedious hassle many times.

REPAINTING ships? Yes! Get to work with that immediately! Could we, speaking of that, add some sort of feature with a customizable flag or set of flags? It would make sense after all if you flew the same jolly roger or a nation flag signifying the same kind of rank that you had been awarded.

Thanks for looking it up. One never stops being amazed by all the flaws and unfinished details left by the original game developers.
Where will the officers spawn, in the stair or on the first floor?

I just completed the third mission in the Dutch campaign where you eventually need to rescue an English soldier from the Antigua fort. Entering the prison all my four surviving officers followed me but upon exiting (after taking a prisoner-treasure quest while I was at it) none of the officers follow but the guards are respawned.

From other topic, the post modernknight replied to:

I think bounty hunter squadrons can be interpreted in several ways. I think of them as regular navy – since they wear naval uniforms and fly their nations flag – but with special missions. Their missions priority and the vessels available to them differ a lot, hence the variety of ships the…[Read more]

In order to not drift off topic in this thread, could you move the last posts of our discussion here?

Your view of the bounty hunters

Another question, how do you alter the number of ships in bounty hunter squadrons?
