WELCOME TO THE THREAD FOR DISCUSSION OF THE PIRATE ISLES BETA
http://tessource.net/files/file.php?id=6886
PLEASE READ THE README AND THE FAQ FOR HELP IF YOU ARE STUCK BEFORE POSTING NEW THREADS, THANKS:)
FAQ HELP:
1. To start, simply sleep in a bed somewhere for a couple of hours, usually at least 4 hours to make sure the script triggers.
1B. Nothing happens? try sleeping for longer. Also the mod is incompatible with quickstart mods, because it tests if you have finished the character generation sequence.
2. Can't find the vintage rum? Where do you get rum...? Try the tavern, or maybe someone with a bit of money will have some in their house...
3. I'm level 10! why don't i have a hideout? Because you need a pirate rating of 10. Pirate rating can be improved by looting, and specific quests.
4. Where do i check my rating? Theres a journal in the Black Moon Cabin that will tell you your rating. Theres also a journal on the desk in the Pirate Hideout - Upper Level.
5. Where are the hireable people for the hideout? Try the taverns. Talk to everyone, "Those with something to say usually have a lot on their minds."
6. Why can't i get the brewery upgrade? Cause its not in the beta
7. Where are the hireable captains for my hideout? You need a pirate rating of 40 and 60 respectively to unlock them. They will appear in the Bilge Monkey once you have reached that level.
8. How do i get to the hideout? Once you have got your hideout by talking to Jimmy, you can travel to and from it the same way you can travel between towns, by activating the black moon. Generally you can activate the boat from quite a few places, but i like to do it from the wheel
Aarrrrr No one's replied? Well, mates, I[i][/i] sure will, I'm here ta keep an eye on this project, I'm havin' great fun with it already!
Yup my clothes I'm gonna finish off and filepath tommorow but at the moment I'm trying to think of a way to do some decent piratey looking pants texture with the sack cloth pants, I will figure it out.
Theres a load of other pants models I would have used for the pants but the female versions are skirts but I like the sack cloth pants as they are slightly torn and ragged and exactly how they would be after months/years at sea.
Hows the pirate hat coming along have you heard any updates yet?
Hey dont know if your looking for ideas for more first mates but I got two anyway:
The first is a Male pirate who looks as evil as they come. He mostly sticks to himself, but can handle a sword better than most. He doesn't care about the people in his crew, but after the player told of untold riches, and the promise of a ship under his control, he couldn't pass it up. He rules the crew with fear, but he keeps them in line. Going farther back in his history you see that he tried mutiny on his last captain, who soley used fear to rule, but the mutiny failed because when the time came, his followers became scared and backed down. This is the most likely reason why he is the way he is today.
The second is a Famous Pirates daughter. Her father went out on a mission to recover a lost treasure, but never came back. Life without her father brought great depression in her younger years, but as she grew older, so did her father's side grow more apparent. She developed a sense of adventure to match most sailors of the time. She became pretty good with a bow, and has a rare ability to stregthen the moral of her companions during battle. The player meets her on a deserted island where she is looking for her father. To covince her to join him he must first get her to abandon her search by either finding some proof that her father is dead, or persuade her that he will help her find him, and that it would be much easier with a crew to help her.
I was gonna start a new topic with all my clothes pics so far but it said I'm not allowed too and the search function is not allowed too, ah well I will show what I have done so far here and on the tes forums.

I have edited the laced leather pants so that they are plain black and I think it works for the pirate pants.
I have edited the sack cloth pants so that they are black for the sailor outfit, ideally these would be worn with sandals as the top of the pirate boots get covered up.
The laced leather pants are well suited for the pirate gear as the boots can be seen over the top of them. I was gonna make the sailor pants cream but I havent been able to get a good cream colour no matter how i tweak the hue and saturation.
I still have to edit the sailor top to make it less bright and more dirty looking which I will do tonight or tommorow as tommorow I hope to start filepathing the textures to the meshes ready for sending but thats the cutlass's, tops, bottoms and boots.
I have chose the particular meshes because I think they fit the style and that they are some of the only ones that the womens version is pants and not a skirt.
wrong damn link >.< http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/5660/nifskopecy9.jpg

Try posting a new topic again, just call it test topic and i will delete it after, it might be blocked cause you just joined. If it doesn't work send me a PM and i'll talk to the admin of chorrol.com about it.
It's ok it's letting me set a topic now. I got the text box up where as before it wouldnt even get that far
Im gona keep my eye on this mod
In regards to athenys question, no i will not be releasing another beta, only the final version.
Quick bug check.

Floating things and a lot of fighting in taverns. Did someone mention the fighting i cant remember :S
The most fun fight to watch was the bar on blackhorn. It was genocide. They were mainly attacking gunther and I cant remember the name of the other one, ah well anyway I felt left out so i reloaded, drew my weapon (the elven cutlass) and I proceeded to slaughter one of the tavern regulars resulting in 30 or so it seemed p***ed off people all looking to kick my boat.
Unfortunatly they underestimated me and I was soon awash in a pile of bodies
I got to the hideout and I think it looks really cool.
EDIT: I totally forgot about this but I made a little wallpaper for the mod as a bit of fun.
http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/5513/thepirateisleskc3.jpg
The battles are all well and fun to watch, but its a problem when the publican through which you hire your crew gets killed.
And nice wallpaper, i'll chuck it up on the screenshots section of the webpage.
What are you supose to do with the treasure map
Is thre a map drawn on the map in the final version
I must say you hid the pirate map very well it took me some time
Not sure if anyone found it out yet, but I found a bug where once you hire your max amount of pirates and kill the spares it will count as losing one of your pirates and allow you to hire that many more. They will no longer count towards your crew but assist you in ship fights.
When i try to sail home after battles, the game crashes.
How can i prevent this?
Thats very odd. Most likely a conflict with another mod. I suggest turning off your other mods and then turning them on one at a time and testing it to find which mod is causing the crash.
Noob question, Ive been lookin for about 2 hours and have no idea where to buy a ship can anyone help me out?
You can get the black moon from Mecios, he should be in its cabin or in the tavern drinking.
hey dark_soul, i have a request about in the mod, i have the nude mod in and its not one you can just turn off, about 50% of the female pirates like to remove their shirts so it doesnt seam too piraty if half the girls are topless, so i was wondering if you could get someone to add a thing that has on a female a thin bandage strap thing going around the torso blocking part of the breasts to seem more piraty, instead of topless pirates, what i mean is just a bandage going around at least blocking the the center of the female breasts....im not sure if this forum blocks certian words so im trying to avoid certian words
btw i just opened the mod in tes cs to find the name of the cages in the bottom of the outpost(for a mod i just started) and it's weird i was looking for your cells forever and i finaly found they wernt in interiors lol and i saw fort delargo.....i didnt remember that place in pirate isles.....that something you accedentaly added in it or did i just miss it in the game?
Small question here. Is it possible to get ship upgrades in the beta, or is this still to be added?
I've spoken to the correct NPCs a number of times, but there is no option to purchase anything from him.
No its not in the beta.
i found a way to remove the nude mod but the top replacer would be nice anyways
Heh, have any idea when there'll be an update? cos i've been checkin in everyday for about two months and i haven't seen any updates...
lol; it's just such a great mod which is why i do watch for it >_<
i can kinda do textures; the only problem is when i do them i don't know where the textures will actually go... say if i make a face from scratch it could have the face facing sidewards of the head... so yeah.
ps: i'm Deice on Tessource
there prolly wont be a new version released till it is complete, ive been following this for a while too
yea, i downloaded the first release [ the day it came out obviously] and i just couldn't get enough of it >_<
but yeah; still some updates onto where it is at the moment would be cool Dark_soul.
i totaly agreed also we could test some of the done stuff to report more bug ( and i realy want to test out the equipable pirate crew i got a load of item hide in avil just for them )
still cant wait for the full release
=]
sounds like fun eh; but seriously, he should 8)
All in good time.
i noticed, sorry if i wasn't clear but i men't i can't do them from scratch*
like... i can never find the exact placing for it if i do it from scratch and yea... ears all over the place
log book capitaine barrel : friday march 9
we arrived into this new island a good 6 month ago brought by slave seller , the island whos pupulated by pirate are rater friendlyer than most people i encounter so far in the imperial province i succed to buy a ship from a old seadog , befor long i hired myself a crew and took over the sea! Sadly for me and my crew the exitement of the sea battle have come to a end after having myself a pirate ratting of 100 . Since the start my first mate and me are looking forwar for a new update who will probobly never come... Am growing old , and i fear the end of our day as pirate...
all that to say it not that we dont like waiting but at some point darksoul we would like to something to feed our desire of playing the mod some of us ( included myself ) have been there since the start of this asome adventure . We dont ask you to hurry up and finish it , we know it take a lot of time and effort to make a mod. But it been close from 6 month since we had our first tasted of it since than a lot of thing have change in the game that we want to test out . As the creator of the pirate island mod the time you have play it must be listed in day or maybe in week . But most of us haven see it for month !
so plz hear our cry and post a unfinish update for us to feed our hanger of piratie!!!
(a guy who have been ir with the mod since the start)
also i just add a idea the smith we hired for our hide out could have a doughter that we could hired later on to fix our crew equipement when it broke , she could be at the spot where there a practice doll .
i would prefer to play the full version, an update would be nice but it would make the full version less surprising, but i do agree with barreldragons we have been waiting a long time. there is little left to do in oblivion now lol, cant wait for a release.
Bah! That's crazy talk! Although I've been waiting for this mod since your initial posting (actually longer - though at one point I was concerned I'd have to make one myself ), I for one don't mind waiting for as long as it takes. As a former software developer type with literally decades of experience myself, I can assure you the paths into the pitfalls you described are well worn!
I throughly enjoyed your beta release, played around with making a few customizations a while back but as I liked what I've been hearing from you on your direction I'm just looking forward to this one. Besides, MTW2 is out now and I generally only have a few hours a week for games anyway - I got enough to keep myself occupied
lol ive been here for a while, i know it takes a long time(working on a mod now, can be annoying, especialy bugs) but i still remember when you said it would be hopefully finished before the new year lol
zorro, it would be nice to have the new texture but i found out how to remove those mods, download your nude mod again but instead of extracting the files, open your data folder, go to meshes delete all files that are in the mod by looking at the file you just downloaded and searching for it in the data folder....btw im not too good at describing things...
still i would like the bandage more than the origional bra...
when u get a another ship to your crew u can say to him that he should go out and loot for u but he doesnīt give me any money , is that right?
i canīt go to the second floor of his ship it is locked
wait iīve found it now
there a fire place and a bear pelt in the cabin of the joinable capitain?
no donīt think so
thought so
Hey, I've been looking for a pirate mod for a while and go so excited when I found one. But then I realized that it was only on the nexus, and they aren't accepting my login, so if you could upload it onto something like planetelderscrolls.com that would be AWESOME
well mate seem you will have to bride some of us since the thruth maker of this wont be back until december
So, I thought this might be put here simply because I didnt notice anywhere else to put it. a little while ago when I was playing the beta, something happened on my computer that took me out of screen. I went back into game and the mod froze on me. I then messed around a bit, reloaded oblivion (not reinstall) and as of the past few times ( playing on the latest save which was made right before oblivion froze ) I was looting a ship, its been the same ship for the most part. an imperial sea ship with 2 mages, a fish in the water, and a few merc's. also my recently deceased 1st mate ( who died in the first raid on this ship ) is still laying on the deck of my ship.
it's probably my fault, but I thought it might be worth noting. Other wise, for a beta, the mod is good n.n I love the setting and everything. But I'll put my suggestions on the discussion form.
I cant find the first mate, shes dissapeared. you need to tie her down to one location such as in the tavern or in the boat and perhaps make all your crew spawn at your ship whenever you sail from on place to another
i re-installed the mod and for some reason their all staying in the ship this time so maybe it just loaded wrong, i thought it would be cool if your not too picky to be able to hire a random pirate by just talking to the first mate
