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]

I have to tell you guys that I think this is quite possibly my favorite topic on this website.

Jeffrey and I continue to discuss your ideas. Orazio’s motivation has been for a more immersive and realistic world from the beginning and he’s has done so much to make that happen. I plan to hit him up tonight in a PM for yet another favor. Now that…[Read more]

@ Jack,

Thanks for the enthusiastic comment. We are pretty proud of our work and its just going to get better.

MK

@ Old Timer,

Yes

MK

Based on your input Jeffrey and I had a long discussion and we are gonna change a bunch of items. I have more new items in the works as well that will modify other skills.

Books: Our plan is that you have to take the time to read them (like in Mount and Blade mods). Based on your intelligence level that will determine how many at a time you can…[Read more]

OK GREAT NEWS! We got it all working right. Thanks to a long conference call between Jeffrey and I we have everything working. Let me test this for a couple of hours and we will get it out to everyone right away.

Some really neat stuff in here. Jeffrey and I are still working on new and better water (work in progress) but we now have SEAFOAM on…[Read more]

Eventually a bunch of characters will have more outfits. My first attempts at character textures were very amateurish and I am reworking a bunch of them now that I have got really good at this. So the Hans Sloane texture (Dr. House) with the white hair is getting a complete overhaul because so many don’t like him.

There were almost several other…[Read more]

Sorry folks, There is something wrong in the update and I can’t get the game to run. Can’t test if it won’t run.

Will get this out to everyone as soon as it works.

MERRY CHRISTMAS anyway!

MK

WOW! Feedback! Amazing! Love it! Keep it coming.

So I’ve been traveling and just arrived at my destination this evening. So I am just now seeing this and just now getting Jeffrey’s combined update. I will test it tomorrow so that we can get it out to everyone for a Christmas present.

SO yeah just as Vincent stated, as long as you have a spare…[Read more]

Lots of new screenshots on my flickr site.…[Read more]

I want that booty!
