Actually, I have anew project I’d like to do real quick, so if you guys get a moment, I’d prefer if you could answer this question before my last one.

I want to try and find a way to get the sex scene to play a movie clip instead of a sound file and a screen image. I find the current sex sounds alittle awkward, so I’m trying to build a mod that…[Read more]

Nice work, Jeffrey!

As for the sail direction, I was sailing the Snauw at the time, but from what you said, I may just be seeing things that happen correectly and interpreting them incorrectly in my own mind.

For just five days of effort, you sure got a lot of things done, that’s so awesome! Thanks for taking the time to work on those little QOL features I requested. The sorting of trade catalogs is especially appreciated, and yes, you ARE cool.

I can understand not wanting to make dodging in combat free, it is YOUR guys’ game after all – I don’t mind…[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]

New feature requests I came up with;

– support mice with additional buttons; this would be a big improvement.

– allow players to navigate command menus with the scroll wheel, to make it easier to use without needing to move your hands around between different control areas.

– No contraband goods at pirate ports – this seems a bit odd to me.

-…[Read more]

Wanted to report a few bugs;

– The sound effects from the opening menu continue to play during the intro/tutorial scene when starting a new game, should probably be fixed.
– Combat music continues to play until a scene transition after defeating rapists.
– The new sail billow direction could maybe use a bit more work to refine it – it works fine…[Read more]

So, in the interest of getting answers to my questions from further up, I have decided to ask them one ata time, as recommended by MK. Here’s the first one;

I want to create a special quest officer, and then have my character (Svendsen) start off with him already joined to his party. How would I create this officer and assign him his chosen…[Read more]

Also, I’m still wanting to try my hand at some location modelling – I have a list of scenes I’d like to try recreating in an even better way than they are now. However, I wanted to ask about models, specifically acquiring them. I’ve done some searching on the internet, and I found a site that has a number of tropical plants that would be perfect…[Read more]

Yeah, sorry bout that. That’s some pretty exciting news you’ve shared with us, though, I’m waiting excitedly for the next update to come.

Nice to hear that you liked the look of the Dying Gull, and especially that you decided to do some similar skins for the sloop and snauw. I was originally going to do one for the snauw, but I just couldn’t figure out how to get the look I wanted… sigh. My only request for those skins is that you not use a white lower hull for them, and simply…[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.

Hey guys, wanted to leave a few comments.

For Orazio, how’s progress on the new Willemstad? I’m very excited for that project in particular, as I plan to make it Svendsen’s main base of operations in a series of personal story quests that I’m dreaming up for him.

To ModernKnight, when can we get the files for the modelling project? I’m excited…[Read more]

Thanks, MK. I’m trying to make a texture based on the look of the Dying Gull from PotC5. Basically, it’s going to be the characters first ship, so I wanted something that was an old, rotten, leaky tub (“It’s a piece of junk!” to quote a famous movie line…) – but it’s YOURS. So, any advice you could give on how I would go about achieving such a…[Read more]

Jeffrey, could you be just a little more specific about how to make my character start only in Willemstad? Should I use the first method you talked about, or should I try to use the second, and can you give me a bit more information about how to code it in? I’m a complete coding noob, so a lot of the info flies over my head even if I can make out…[Read more]
