📋 About This Mod
The Pirate Isles BETA --------------------- Version 0. 71 Author:Dark Soul Contact: dark_soul108@hotmail.com Known as dark_soul on the official elderscrolls forums. Visit the Pirate Isles Project Forum: http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showforum=44 INSTALLATION ------------ Simply extract the files to the Oblibion/data folder. The files need to be in the following places for everything to work properly: - Check the file \"DSPirateIsleBETA.esp\" is in the Oblivion/Data/ folder - Check the \"SmallRumKeg.nif\" is in the Oblivion/Data/meshes/DSPIModels/ folder You may need to create the /meshes/DSPImodels/ folder. It is very important you spell this correctly for the models to show up in game. THIS IS THE 0. 71 VERSION, FIXED A FEW BUGS. - Fixed doors to ships in Yakudra - Pirates in the bottom of the Bilge Monkey are random, as originally planned. - Slaughterfish about the boats in combat. - Cargo Manifests now appear in a little chest inside merchants cabin. - Fixed doors between levels on merchant ships. - Fixed start to work with QuickStart Mods. - Locked more doors. - Fixed Medilo Dratha. - Put journal on top of chest in the Crimson Ark, to make what happened to you more obvious FAQ ----- 1. To start, simply sleep in a bed somewhere for a couple of hours, usually at least 4 hours to make sure the script triggers. 1B. Nothing happens? try sleeping for longer. Still nothing? Send me a PM. 2. Can\'t find the vintage rum? Where do you get rum...? Try the tavern, or maybe someone with a bit of money will have some in their house... 3. I\'m level 11! why don\'t i have a hideout? Because you need a pirate rating of 11. Pirate rating can be improved by looting, and specific quests. (Note you need a rating of 11 due to a small mistake on my behalf.) 4. Where do i check my rating? Theres a journal in the Black Moon Cabin that will tell you your rating. Theres also a journal on the desk in the Pirate Hideout - Upper Level. 5. Where are the hireable people for the hideout? Try the taverns. Talk to everyone, \"Those with something to say usually have a lot on their minds.\" 6. Why can\'t i get the brewery upgrade? Cause its not in the beta. 7. Where are the hireable captains for my hideout? You need a pirate rating of 40 and 60 respectively to unlock them. They will appear in the Bilge Monkey once you have reached that level. The Pirate Isles BETA - IMPORTANT!!! ------------------------------------ This is the beta release of my mod, The Pirate Isles. The beta is bug free (to my knowledge), but is not the final version. In this beta you can purchase a ship, hire one of three different first mates, and hire a crew. Once you have your crew you can go looting! Each time you loot your pirate rating goes up, get a high enough rating and you can acquire an upgradeable hideout! What does the Pirate Isles BETA add? ------------------------------------ - You can acquire a pirate ship! - Hire yon dastardly cre
