For the technology of the time, Pirates Gold was so much better than SMP. PIrates GOld was maxed out with everything 1993 had to offer, SMP just has better graphics with some improvements. Villains are better in SMP and the quests are more in depth though

We know about the "useless items" to impress missionaries and native chiefs that were dropped from the finished version (and rescued thanks to the legendary AdamMil). There are also nifs for a parrot and an extra pirate_captain that look unused.

It looks like there's some other stuff that, as far as I can tell, didn't make it - the executable has a reference to a "fencing_instructor" near the reference to the captain of the guard (different from the retired player character "fencing master"). There's also something in there that looks like a sneaking minigame from Cartagena prison, with the difficulties "Argh (sneak in)" "Aaargh! (sneak out))", and "Aaaaargh!!!"

Weird stuff, anyone seen anything else like that? Wonder if we can find a way to use whatever work went into them but wasn't used


Credit to the brilliant noloyolo456 for unlocking some of this stuff (like the escape from Cartagena) with the secret options mod: http://hookedonpirates.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=131817#131817

This requires a new exe, I believe, so likely incompatible with our other big mods - for now...

You will have to use his executable and transfer over the cities, text what ever else you changed in making your first mod executable unless you know to make the same changes he made to unlock those features. Don't know what his base executable is either it might be a steam executable or anything that might be a challenge redoing a mod with that.
