All of my tricks are modifying the savegame file... so far.

I haven't figured out how to modify the game at all yet.


Hey jlangsdo,

any updates here ? The mod with more towns in the Gulf of Mexico would be really nice.

If there is a town limit and towns would need to be removed I would say Gran Granada, Gibraltar, Rio de la Hacha and either Puerto Bello or Nombre de Dios could go.

But, if you want to mess around, here's what you would do using my savegame editor to repurpose Gibraltar as Paramaribo, with attributes borrowed from St. Martin, located about as far SE as I could put it:

pirates_savegame_editor.pl -unpack slot4
echo "MarchingMap_435_24 : F1 : 0c " >> slot4.pst
echo "SailingMap_435_24 : F1 : 01 " >> slot4.pst
pirates_savegame_editor.pl -splice City_10,CityInfo_10 -clone City_39,CityInfo_39 -in slot4 -out slot4
pirates_savegame_editor.pl -set Paramaribo,435,24,435,24 -splice CityName_10,City_10_0,City_10_1,CityLoc_10_0,CityLoc_10_1 -in slot4 -out slot4


Has anyone tried that save game editor or maybe a different one ? I have installed perl now but the save games I create all get corrupted.

Even if I do not change anything I get a corrupted file. I tried for example to start a new game, save the game in slot1 and then

CMD
perl pirates_savegame_editor.pl -unpack slot1
perl pirates_savegame_editor.pl -pack slot1

relaunch the game and as soon I load slot1 I get an error. So I have only unpacked and packed the game without even changing values in the save game.

Stopping in to pay homage to a historic thread. If only posters like the Aberdonian could see where we're at now *pours one out*
