The following members are on the list to receive Loyalty Updates.

(54 loyal members in all) THANK YOU MATES and MATETTES!!!

Just because you are a member here does not instantly entitle you to this content. Loyalty implies a contributing member – someone who has taken some time to tell us who they are and help us out, contribute or ask questions (in other words – PARTICIPATE) – not just lurk. If you want to get on the Loyalty list, step up and introduce yourself or take part in some discussions here or even start your own discussion. It can be about anything – the game, history and we even have an Off topic forum. If you feel you have been left off this list in error please PM me and let me know where and when you dropped by and contributed.

Also if you are on this list and did not received the notice (which would not surprise me given this clunky site tools past track record) please let me know and I will ensure that your received the link.

So this current update is 395MB in size zipped and 1.06GB unpacked. Please go to the following link to DL the content.

********** https://mega.nz/ LINK OMITTED – only in PM Notice to loyal members **********************

Simply open the rar and overwrite/replace existing files when prompted.

Do not put this on top of your current game folder unless you have Jeffrey’s latest update applied FIRST!

CONTENTS:

There are two new ships in here (the new Chaloupe and the Dunkirk/Ferrol Raider) and nearly 30 new skins for 8 different ships in all (11 of these are for the Olandesa alone with Maltacus’ new skins added with my modifications. In addition, there are new cannon sounds and a lot of GREAT new music tracks. (Thanks to Modder01 for some of the new cannon sounds given with his kind permission)

As per member requests to provide better point of sail numbers applicable to select vessels, I have gone through the entire ships list and overhauled ALL ships numbers regarding sailing into the wind performance, speed and turning factors. You will definitely notice the difference. Schooners, large lateen, spanker, gaff or lug-sail equipped vessels now have a definite edge sailing into the wind over square riggers. Square riggers have better acceleration numbers if the wind is abaft and all turning numbers have been dramatically changed. Square riggers with large amounts of stay sail surface will out perform ships without. You will notice that the scale has been widened across the board and larger ships are no longer as responsive in turns as they used to be.

In addition, because of confusion with sail textures and new sail textures, I have included all sail textures currently in game in their correct places. Some of these look like duplicates, but they’re not. Many ships call for unique sail textures for this or that particular ship now. These will overwrite any mistakes that may be present.

I almost have many new town skins and tavern signs ready to go but that will be in the next update. I sensed people were getting impatient so I just posted what I have ready right now – but there is lots more even newer stuff ALMOST ready me hearties!

EDIT: Feel free to respond here on this thread publicly as well if you didn’t get the update message/notice. MK

DAMN!!! I forgot one file in the DL.

I am going to post the link here.

WARNING if you are a loyal member and do not have the update above this file will screw up your game – in fact it will not run because the ships it will be looking for are not in your game. ONLY if you have already put the update above in your game – also put this file in the Program/scripts folder

Sorry folks. I’m tired.

Could you resend the PM to me? I clicked the notification that showed when logging in away and thought I could read it later but I can’t see the message in the inbox now, don’t know why.
Looking forward to studying the new sailing statistics, I have also noted some oddities there.

[Jeffrey]

I think you can still get to it.

Upper right, click your name and you should see a short menu. Hover down to Messages, another short menu, click All Member Notices. You should see it there.

[Maltacus]

No, I don’t have “all member notices” under the messages tab. Only inbox, starred, sent and compose. Perhaps it doesn’t show because I somehow accidently deleted it, but the tab should show regardless and “x” should also close the message, not delete it. Very odd.

[Jeffrey]

I copy/pasted the relevant part from the message and sent you a PM.

Have to say, i always come back to this as even if i didnt really have time for playing much games i was always amazed by this mod. There are few games i always return to. (Another being Mount and Blade Warband with all the amazing mods it has).

See i got a notificiation with the link (the 395 mb Loyalty one) so i assume all account holders got it?

As im dowloading the game yet again (new computer and the last version i played was 2.6 or so anyway) with all this differnt links im honestly lost if this “loyalty” update by now has been added to the regular download (see a 1.5 gigabyte update there) or if its additional stuff thats left out.
