The Flying Dutchman Unleashed

Description
Some new surprises lay in wait for fans of the Flying Dutchman . . .
Everything you see in this video can be done in-game.
Nice video, mate! Thanks for showcasing my work on the Dutchman's new special abilities. Now all that's left to be added is for the Dutchman to be able to sail into the wind, like they say she can in Dead Man's Chest. Should be easy enough now that we've got steamships.
From what I've heard and read about her, she's actually supposed to sail faster into the wind, then with it. Because the Pearl can outrun her WITH the wind, but not against it.
No ship can outrun the Dutchman against the wind, but even if the Dutchman could only sail 1 knot against the wind, that would still hold true since against the wind, the other ships will be going backwards. Not counting tacking of course.
The Flying Dutchman in the game has always sailed faster into the wind than with the wind. She generally did lose her speed when pointing exactly into the wind though, which I have today written some code to try to avoid. Might need some balancing though.
well that's kinda cool, will you do some more work with the tentacles?
like spawning them underwater and raise them instead or something? I don't really know the limitations of the engine soooo :P
Alas, this is the best I know how to make it. I know it's not perfect, but it does get the point across.
(The tentacles are code-wise floating goods like the ones that are left once a ship sinks).
This actually looks brilliant! Again, nice work so far, Pieter!
This also nicely showcases the more realistic water appearance... anyone else notice that? ;)
I DID notice actually. Your new ocean is very pretty. :P
Awesome work! i dont really want to sound like a critic but to make it more movie realistic, the dutchman should submerge and emerge more slowly, the kraken tentacles should emerge from the water and maybe move, i dont know if this is possible with the engine but anyway well done guys with the work done!
We can change the speed of emerging/submerging fairly easily. We've even got some particle and sound effects added now, which makes it look a lot better too.
The Kraken tentacles unfortunately are not so easily changed. This is the best I know how to make it. At least it gets the point across of being a Kraken attack; unfortunately we have to deal with game engine limitations here.
as this is being done in the game?
Yes. Everything you saw in the video CAN be done in the game.
hey very nice video! have you build this or is it in the game?
The new abilities will be available in the next release, Build 14 Beta 2, which will be out by the end of the year, hopefully.
Any actual specific date for beta 2?
That's up to Pieter, really. Before Christmas is most likely, so not long to wait!
Before the end of the year is the most specific I can be. We're still doing a lot of work and it will depend on how smoothly that all goes.
Hello is by any chance u can put crew on the desk of flying duchman?
Grate Video,can wait to relese =)
Hello dose it posseble to add Davy Jones storyline to the game? Like on Age of pirates 2?
Thank you from massive fan =)
Hello people? dose anyone replying to the questions?
Sorry about that. The Dutchman doesn't have crew because we can only have one cursed crew on deck and the Black Pearl already has that.
Davy Jones appears briefly in the Hoist the Colors storyline. As of now, I don't believe there are any plans for a Davy Jones solo storyline.
Oh allright thats really shame,becose i really want to see Davy Jones in the game more then now,Or Black Beard whold bee nice as u have Queen Anne now.But anyway grate work guys,its the best mod i ever played soo far,and it will this this way!Cant wait for beta 2.
Oh one more question I tryed to buy Davy Jones skin at talor shop,but i cant i tryed a lot of times in evry talor shop but i cant find the skin.
And i have some error all the time like game go off evry 30 minutes and it says like (windows trying resolve the problem) or something like that.
Anyway thanks a lot =)
Please tell me how can i find Davy jones skin in the game?.And how can i resolve this kind of erorr?
I'm not sure you can actually buy it. I think the only way to play as Davy Jones is to manipulate the code. I can show you how to do that if you'd like.
oh really? U know i cold buy it at talor shop davy jones skin,on last relese,that was beta 1 pach 6 and i find the skin at tartuga port.
Thats will bee grate if u could show me how to do it.
Thank you soo much =)
Oh you found it after all? Well I guess if you found a place to buy it, I don't need to show you the whole code bit. This is much easier. :)
no i cant find it on new relese,i find in old version,on beta 1 pach 6.
But it dosent work with new version =( please show me how to change code.
Thank you
no i cant find it on new relese,i find in old version,on beta 1 pach 6.
But it dosent work with new version =( please show me how to change code.
Thank you
Go into your main game folder. Open PROGRAM, then Console.C.
Find the line that says:
void ExecuteConsole()
{
ref pchar = GetMainCharacter();
if (!bSeaActive) ref lcn = &Locations[FindLocation(pchar.location)];
ref ch;
int i;
int limit;
switch(0) // Case 0 = Various test and cheat codes
{ // Case 1 = Location coordinate information
case 0: // Case 2 = Automatic instant cheats in port
// LAi_EnableReload();
Directly below that, type: GiveModel2Player("DavyJones",true);
Then save, start your game, and hit F12 to turn into Davy Jones.
thanks a lot mate =)
hello! First i would like to say that you all have done an amazing job on this mod! But one thing is that i dont know how to get the dutchman or the queen annes revenge! Please, please help!

Where is van der decken? I Played Bartolomeu beta 14 2.1 anybody know?
In the Bartolomeu storyline you have to play through it until the quest itself brings you to Isla de Muerte.
