Does anybody remember how to change the destination setting for the transporter feature of the trainer?


I THINK I figured it out.

1. Start the trainer, then start a new game.
2. Sail to a city that is not currently one of the teleport cities, pause the game before entering that city.
3. Hold down the alt key and press the tab key to switch to the trainer screen.
4. Select the "Teleport" tab.
5. Hold down the Ctrl key and press the 2 key (the one that also has the @ symbol on it).
6. Hold down the alt key and press the tab key to switch back to the game.
7, Save the game.

The next time you play Pirates using the trainer and the saved game you created in step 7, when you press the Alt-2 key combination you will be transported to the 'new' destination city, although in the trainer it still shows Panama.

This seems to work, but might not function under all circumstances.

Been awhile since I’ve used the trainer but yes it’s possible to change a destination point of a city that’s listed in a game in the trainer and other waypoints as well. Button text could even be replaced say for the East Indies mod you could set the cities to some of those and even rename the buttons to the name of the cities your going to. Way points to like it let’s you go to certain passages or channels why those points could be changed and would need to be in the East Indies in order to work properly because it’s a different map. Teleport to the top ten pirates etc is done automatically as it finds then wherever they be located.

How do you rename the button to the name of the new destination city?

I currently don't have it on my laptop but will be getting it soon to check out my ballrooms and lost city. Anyway in the main folder their should be files you can open probably by notepad buttons are likely listed like the city name for example one might say Nevis then change the text to Madam Pearls Whorehouse then save it. might try shorter name than that.

I can't figure out which file it would be, neither the hotkeys.ini nor the piratedata.ini files seem to be the one.

Okay I’ll take a look at it soon. Without having it it’s hard to help out.

I took a brief look at it. I thought they can be changed but i didn't see anything even with a hex editor. I might have scrolled to fast. possible it part of the interface. Anyway it can still be used in the East Indies and the points can be changed but may have to wright down somewhere which button goes to which city.

Thanks for looking. I'll use the 'right down' method.

Download the trainer, set it to run in Administrator mode, then open it and make sure the SMP is set to BigPond/Trymedia.

Open the game with the trainer open, load your character/start a new one and then make whatever adjustments you want. Worked for me.

Glad to see people still play this(Spoilers)

There isnt specifically an offset for GoG
But if its the same as the Steam version try the Bigpond/Trymedia SMP as thats what the steam version of the game uses

steam Guide

How to make a Game Trainers Work with Sid Meiers Pirates (Steam)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2085934821


recommends using the adammil -
Sid Meier's Pirates Challenge Pack

http://www.adammil.net/blog/v121_The_Sid_Meier_s_Pirates_Challenge_Pack.html

http://www.adammil.net/files/121/ChallengePack.zip

and generate a game executable

Use the adammil generated executable,
instead of the native Steam SM pirates executable
with any Trainer


(some Mods may include a custom version of an
adammil generated executable)

see above link for further info



Phalzyr (aka CJ) Trainer 3.20 link
https://www.lonebullet.com/tools/download-sid-meiers-pirates-phtrainer-v320-free-295.htm

set to Bigpond/Trymedia SMP for Steam/GOG

Latest available PHTrainer v3.20 recommended for Steam.

https://www.lonebullet.com/tools/download-sid-meiers-pirates-phtrainer-v320-free-295.htm

set PHTrainer - Bigpond/Trymedia SMP for Steam


For Windows 10, general recommendation -
no longer recommended to install any game to either:

\Program Files
\Program Files (x86)

as now OS protected Files Areas and access is blocked by default

If game is already installed there - use run as administrator
with PHTrainer v3.20


You may need to set a Anti-Virus File Scan Excusion Folder
as Trainers are generally not liked & may be blocked by AV
(Trainers may display Virus like behaviour)

Reading PHTrainer readme recommended,
as well as looking through this thread


Windows 10 no longer supports Retail Disk DRM schemes
such as SecureRom, Safedisk etc
Steam does not include this as Steam uses its own Steam DRM.
GOG does not include DRM.


Steam Guide on Using Steam SMP with Trainers here:

How to make a Game Trainers Work with Sid Meiers Pirates (Steam)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2085934821

recommends using the adammil -
Sid Meier's Pirates Challenge Pack

http://www.adammil.net/blog/v121_The_Sid_Meier_s_Pirates_Challenge_Pack.html

http://www.adammil.net/files/121/ChallengePack.zip

and generate a game executable

Use the adammil generated executable,
instead of the native Steam SM pirates executable
with any Trainer



SMP Retail Disk Game must be patched to v1.02
for Windows 10.
Steam or GOG versions should already include this.

SMP Retail Disk Game has this problem -
Buggy Game Resolution Changer
also Widescreen resolutions not supported.
