Hi all,

an idea in connection with this is inclusion of Moslem slave hunters who are known to have raided N. American coast in our period of time.
Could be a new questline actually. Fight them or maybe side with them…

Enemy recognition, again.

Sailing for Spain I join a battle between Portugal-Pirates. Portuguese flag is neutral, Pirates hostile. I decide to help the Portuguese.
While manouvering to a good attack position I come close to the Portuguese and they open fire upon me. Why? They are flagged neutral all the time.

Mr. Jeffrey,

THX for your attn. Now my armed tartane will become truly invincible…

Mr. Jeffrey,

if I want to change several parameters can I just put them one after another between the brackets like:

– void ExecuteConsole()
{
RealShips[sti(Pchar.Ship.Type)].SpeedRate = 15.0;
RealShips….;
}

THX for your attn.,

Oldtimer

Mr.Jeffrey,

should it look like:

– ExecuteConsole(RealShips[sti(Pchar.Ship.Type)].SpeedRate = ??;)

And if I have several playthroughs running, where do I find the PC in question?

THX for your attn.,

Oldtimer

BUMP, kinda,

How and where can I change the stats of a ship I currently command?

Rgds, Oldtimer

@Filipe, Jeffrey

Yes, that`s it. But the problem originates in Mod Options settings.If set only at the starting screen it has no effect on playthroughs going on. The settings must be adjusted in Mod Options for any individual playthrough. A bit of a hassle actually.

In that case all useless bonus items should be removed from the game world or have a large monetary value to make the effort needed to acquire them worthwile or have the bonuses readded.

THX for your attn.,

Skill items.

Some no longer conform to their description, like:

– Effective Stances give skill increase 10, not 20,

– Grappling gun, same,

– Powder flask, same.

I suspect there is more of this.

Repair statue.

How does it work? When on PC person, on Carpenters person and/or when in ships inventory(chest)?

Mr. Knight,

firstly I`m glad that the login issue is solved.

Secondly, you are quite right in your comment. Still, the general rule seems to be that pirates did not routinely attack eachother.

What made me think here is that according to Mr. Jeffrey pirates attacking pirate PC were a std “feature” of COAS. But they did not attack me until a…[Read more]

Hi,

sounds great. BTW, a big flaw IMO is that PC is attacked by pirates when a pirate himself. It`s really bad for immersion.
Please make a toggle at least where this “feature” can be turned off.

THX for your attn.,

Well, after reinstalling both it works, so probably something went wrong while dl-ing the update.

Rgds, Oldtimer

Hi all,

after updating both today I get the message “failed to create program…”.

I have made some minor changes earlier and the game was playable until updated.

Rgds, Oldtimer

Bounty Hunters.

Hi all,

bounty hunters at sea, can they or their captains surrender? I have not seen that happen and I REALLY would like them surrendering now and then. So I could throw them overboard now and then…

BTW, the old printed game manual says that bounty will never disappear wholly but can decrease if player does good deeds. What…[Read more]

@Modernknight

Looks like my ship was not damaged enough to qualify for light repair, had abt. 70% hull and 50% sail left.

THX for your attn.,

Oldtimer

Hi all,

how do I activate an ability? I have quick repair, my ship is badly damaged and I do not see where/how to use that ability.

Rgds, Oldtimer

Mr. Jeffrey,

why I wrote abt. this is that in my playthroughs as pirate hitherto I was not told to “watch myself” as long as I flew Jolly Roger. Neither was I attacked at sea by common pirates, only GoF:s and now “Bold Privateers”. But here is something I saw recently, same playthrough:

– I changed from Jolly Roger to English and was…[Read more]

Against all flags, pirates inclusive…

Im a pirate, flying the Jolly Roger. While in pirate havens Im accosted as if I were an enemy, while at sea common pirates attack me. If thats by design its the next worst design flaw I`ve met in pirate games.
