Awesome thats actually not too far away, looking forward to it

Progress is still slow, but I'm getting something done every day. Currently working on the final quest for the pirate part of the update. If everything goes as planned I should have it finished the day after tomorrow, after which I'll spend a week testing the update extensively. If there are no major bugs the update should arrive some time next week, hopefully mid-week.

Bump. I've found some time to work on this again so you should expect an update somewhere in the second half of the month.

I just found this mod and it looks great and I really like pirate games so that makes it even better. I made a post at http://forum.piratesahoy.net/topic/17166-the-golden-crest/ about this mod. Pirates Ahoy is a site for pirate games and is mostly dedicated to the Sea Dogs/Pirates of the Carribean/Age of Pirates series of pirate rpgs but also cover all other pirate games.

Firstly, many thanks for making such a great mod.

I seem to have a few problems with the Blessed Forefathers quest.

• I find the note about the gate room, but when I activate the lever, the gate does not open.
  I used TCL to continue, but it would be good to know if I have done something wrong or whether there is a glitch.
  
  
• I can't figure out how to cross the lava to get to the door leading to the river of fire.
  Hints and tips will be very much appreciated

guenthar1: Thanks for the post. Any publicity is highly appreciated


Surazal: As far as I can recall, I don't remember anybody reporting the gate issue. It might be a bug on your end, but you pretty much need to read the letter, go to the gate control room, climb the central tower and activate it. As for the lava, you should be able to jump across with minimal contact, but you pretty much need to run through it. There's no special way to do it.

Waterwalking is always very useful when lava is involved. Your feet still get singed, but you can hop to minimize the damage you take, and you have less trouble exiting promptly on the far end. I was rather shocked when I first learned that the game engine thinks lava is a type of water...

Thanks for responding. First time I went into the dungeon, I found the lever first and activated it. I later found the gate and the letter. I then went back to an earlier save before I had entered the gate room and waited to find the letter. Still didn't work, but I wonder if the game "knew" I had done it the wrong way first and was punishing me


Thanks for this tip - I died many times trying to jump across the lava

Just a small progress update: I've been testing what I've created several months, before my break from the CS and there aren't many bugs. I still have to finish the final pirate quest for this update (which should take some time) as well as polish up the current ones. If I manage to do all this by Tuesday, I'll then work on adding another quest or two for the Straight Arrow as well. I don't want to make any solid predictions as I, myself, have no idea how much time I'll have to work on the mod the next ten days, but if I have at least a bit of time each day, as well as no major problems arise, the new update (1.2) should arrive by February the 20th.

Pretty much everything is done, apart from two interior cells and one or two more final test runs. As I don't really have the time to work on it in the next few days I can't say when the update will be released, but if no major issues are found in the test runs I suppose you can expect the update sometime next week. The update focuses on the pirate quest line and that's how it'll probably stay until the release.

An idea for a spell, and theme (not lore however) related: make it possible to summon a kraken (you know what i mean right?) that reaches out of the water and will kill one or two enemies.

Excellent news. Good luck with this.

Everything is more or less done. The straight arrow won't be getting any additional quests this update, but chances are that the next update will focus on expanding it, whilst adding a minor quest or two for the pirates, but that's a topic for another time. I still need to do some polishing and a bit of dungeon cluttering, but that should be finished today. I'll then skim over the scripts and quests and see if any additional testing is required. If I don't see the need for any serious testing the update should arrive tomorrow.

So what do the ones who have played this think of it? Skimming to the thread I don't find any feedback on the quality, quests etc. Seems interesting but would be nice with some feedback.

Well, I'm not boasting or anything, but it was generally liked. I can give you a few example comments.

There was a lot of feedback, and the majority of which was quite positive. You can check out the comments on TESNexus, but I doubt you'll find digging through 1300+ comments fun

The latest update is released and can be found on TESNexus.

Bump

Love this mod. Seriously, long quests that are interesting, though the startup to get to the actual pirating is quite long. The first few are straightforward, but it starts getting more complex and exciting as you play along, definitely a keeper!




Haha I need to rely on some custom spells to get across, since I added a mod that makes lava deadly as well as visually better. On a side note, I also added a mod that makes traps deadlier, making a certain misty location extremely dangerous to go through!

Edit: For other tips for people with lava that's too deadly to cross normally, use spells like Midas Magic's icewalk, spells that let you jump very far or jump via telekentics, or potions and items that increase your acrobatics. Also take off your armor when attempting the jump if you do try to clear it via acrobatics.

Glad you like it Hades Drive

Suggestions, bug reports and any and all feedback is welcome, as always

This looks great, and I am really interested in downloading this.

Are there any known compatibility issues with FCOM, BCs, UL etc.?

Also, are there any requirements? Is Side's sailing ships recommended with this?

Bump to my question above!

There aren't any requirements and there's a compatibility issue with Battlehorn, which is fixed by download the additional plug in on the site. There's also a tiny conflict with UL, but it's only cosmetic and doesn't affect gameplay.
