*********1.1 Enable continued play after winning main quest******************
For the final quest, the scripts set Danielle and Clement as non-removable
officers. The original "continued play" mod only changed the scripts so that
your game could continue, with both of those officers still non-removable. Here
are the updated instructions that allow you to remove both Danielle and Clement
("researcher") after you finish the
main quest. Enables continued play after winning the main quest and makes
Danielle removeable from your officer list.
===NOTE: Only works if changed prior to sinking the Black Pearl and necesite
starting a new game.
Use a text editor to edit the "quests_reaction.c " file in the "/pirates of
the caribbean/program/Quests/" folder.
Save the changes and restart the game. Now, after the ending credits, the
game should continue and you should be able to
remove both Danielle and the Researcher characters from your officer list.
===Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of
the file before proceeding.
Using a text editor open ''Interface.c'' in the game folder ''Pirates of the
Caribbean/PROGRAM/INTERFACE/''
Search for the word ''arcade'' and you will find the following line at the end
of the file:
if(bArcadeMode) return 2.0;
Change the number to the desired speed factor, e.g. "4.0" and save the file.
In game press the time-scale key "*" on NumPad and there you go, with 4 times
the normal speed
===Note: To disable immortality, put "//" in front of the line. If you disamble
the immortality during the game, you mustn't start a new game in order to take
efect the change. That doesn't mean that you can enable again the immortality
without starting a new game.
********2.2 Change the start ship********************************************
Locate the following line:
ch.Ship.Type = SHIP_LUGGER_ENGLAND;
and change it to one of the following - do not include the comments in
parentheses.In parentheses are the ships abilities.
ch.Ship.Type = SHIP_BLACK_PEARL;
(for a ship with HP: 100 000, Speed:17,2, Turning:26, Crew:600, Cargo:3500,
Cannons:44xLBS32)
ch.Ship.Type = SHIP_FEARLESS;
(for a ship similar to BLACK PEARL but with only 15 000 HP)
ch.Ship.Type = SHIP_FORT;
(for a ship with HP: 54 000, Speed:11,2, Turning:20, Crew:3200, Cargo:27 000
Cannons:68xLBS32)
ch.Ship.Type = SHIP_MANOWAR_ENGLAND;
(for a ship with HP: 15 000, Speed: 13,65, Turning:21, Crew:950, Cargo:5400,
Cannons:100xLBS24)
ch.Ship.Type = SHIP_BATTLESHIP_ENGLAND;
(for a ship with HP:10 000,Speed:12,6, Turning:31,5, Crew:618, Cargo:4500,
Cannons:70xLBS24)
********2.3 Change character stats********************************************
Locate the line
ch.skill.Leadership = "1";
and change it to any number up to 10. You can do this in each skill category.
===Note: There is a "Sneak" stat, "Sneak" = "Luck". I don't know if Sneak
appears to everybody.
********2.4 Have more money at beginning**************************************
Locate the line
ch.money = "1000";
and change the number value to whatever desired.
********2.5 Have more ability points at beginning*****************************
Locate the line
ch.perks.freepoints = 1;
and change the number value to whatever desired.
