In the event anyone is wondering what's become of this Mod, I'll tell you what I've learned.

The creator, Homer Jr. had a catastrophic hard drive failure shortly after working on v0.4. He had, last I heard, two options: 1) Release what he had and lose everything, or 2) Don't release anything in the attempt to work back up to making more additions. I never found out what came of those options.

However, I, and my brothers, had stumbled on this Mod and I started tinkering with it. I have cleaned up some folders, making the file smaller, and altered several things to try to keep in line with the wishes of the Mod creator in v0.4.

Most of the changes are in line with the Mod creator's original designs for v0.4, however, some things are of my own doing to keep it looking concise and to the point. My brothers and I also ran into a few things that, while intentional, I believe accidently caused too much hassle.

If anyone would like a copy of what I have, please let me know. My brothers talked me into 're-releasing' this, so thank them.

I take no credit for this Mod as it's creator, Homer Jr., did every ounce of work short of me 'picking up the torch' so to speak.

I made some errors in my last posts in my understanding of what happened to the mod. Homer Jr., the original creator, passed the torch to Thunderbolt, and it was Thunderbolt who suffered the hard drive failure. That said, all things still stand in my last post, though I would like to give credit to both Homer Jr. and Thunderbolt with this correction.

If you are interested in seeing what I have done to the Mod in the name of continuation, please email me at kammerzell_navy@hotmail.com and please place in the subject Pirate Mod at the very minimum so that I don't wipe it clean thinking it's spam.
