I started modifying games many years ago, when I first made reskins of existing ships and eventually made new ship models myself for the sailing simulator Virtual Sailor. After doing this for a couple of years, I joined the PiratesAhoy! forums and ended up taking over modpack compiling for the Pirates of the Caribbean Build Mod from the notorious Nathan Kell. As such I have contributed to the release of Build 13 Final and am still active in the development for Build 14: New Horizons.

The sidestep is disabled by default because people complained about it too much. You can enable it again at the bottom of PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h

That is being worked on for "To Each His Own" on "Storm X".

1. Click "Read more..." and actually READ the "License Agreement".

2. Good.

3. LONG story. Even *I* do not fully now the answer.
Once upon a time, there was a person who called himself "Maximus".
There was a second person (read: pirate) named "Konrad K".
That is where the story starts. I think...?

It cpuld indeed be interpreted that way. But it's definitely not the case here. You can see the "Full" version as a modern regular release; while the "Final" has all the Season DLCs included as well.

Whenever PC Gamer mentions us (https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/this-17-year-long-mod-project-makes-the-pirates-of-the-caribbean-tie-in-game-one-of-the-best-pirate-sims-around/), interest in us immediately jumps up SO much that our own website servers cannot keep up with the demand.
We recently upgraded our XenForo software though, so hopefully we'll be a bit more audience-proof this year!

Which exact mod version are you using? The Storm mod or the Maelstrom standalone distribution?
Post the compile.log, system.log and possible error.log from your main game folder at Piratesahoy.net for more extensive support.

The first dialog has 3 options now. If you choose any of the first 2, you get the original game story immediately. If you choose the third, the "Stormy Start" mod is triggered instead. You will then only start the original story the next time you visit Speightstown, Barbados.

Are you talking the original 2003 game by Akella? Or after installing the mod?
Which version? Maelstrom or Storm?

Yep; if THAT doesn't inspire fear, then you are truly fearless!

Yes.
Until someone new shows up who wants to continue again.
Some other storylines have been more recently worked on though; for example, the "Ardent" one.

This "screenshot" was actually faked with Microsoft Paint.
However, was was still "concept art" back then, is becoming reality now!
