DangerousWaters

Dangerous Waters - 0.1.2 (Release 1, with the readable Old Chronian ships)

Pirates for Sailwind. Guns you buy, carry, nail and fire; a pirate who sizes

you up, chases you, fires back, boards you and takes her cut; damage, splinters,

and a captain's manual to go with it. And the Old Chronian ships refitted to

face her: fighting tops, a net under the bowsprit, copper below the water,

lids on the ports, davits astern.

The manual (DW_Manual.pdf, in this zip) is the full guide. This page is the

short version.

Requirements

• Sailwind
• BepInEx 5 (installed by Mod Manager / r2modman)
• Recommended: Configuration Manager (press F1 in game for the settings).
• The Old Chronian ship mod is NOT required for the pirates or the guns:

the pirate is the mod's own copy of the Caelanor, carried in the mod's

bundle. Old Chronian is needed only for the Old Chronian refit and the gun

port lids, which are fitted to its ships.

Optional, each adds one thing to the Old Chronian refit (chapter XII):

• Dinghies (, Pr0SkyNesis) - the Aelasyl's stern davits and

the boat in them.

• Old Chronian Fixes (Discord, with Old Chronian) - gives the Caelanor her

bilge pump; with it the Aelasyl gets the same pump.

• Shipyard Expansion (Discord) - the copper sheathing wears its copper,

matching the brig's; without it, a plain copper of its own.

Old Chronian itself is a Discord mod, not, so a mod manager

cannot fetch it for you: install it by hand first.

The Old Chronian ships, made readable (0.1.2). The refit reads each ship's

own rigging and hull to place its ropes and cut its copper, and the Old

Chronian files as handed out keep that out of reach - on them the ratlines

and copper landed half a metre off. The zip now carries the four ships again,

identical but for that one flag, in OldChronianReadable\. On the first start

the refit backs up the stock files in the Old Chronian folder as.orig.bak

and puts the readable ones in their place. It touches only files it

recognises, says what it did in the log, and can be switched off under

General. The ships look and sail exactly as before; Virtual Crew works on them

from then on too.

If you have the old separate Caelanor Mast Platforms mod (2.6.2), delete

it: the one in this zip replaces it, and BepInEx skips the old one anyway.

Also in the folder: Caelanor Hatch Walk Collider Fix (CaelanorHatchFix.dll,

by Dixiecapt). The Caelanor's cabin hatch has an invisible walk collider twice

the length of the opening, which blocks the companionway even with the hatch

open; this slims it to the hatch itself. If you already have it installed

elsewhere, keep one copy.

Install

Unzip into BepInEx\plugins\. You should get:

BepInEx\plugins\DangerousWaters\DangerousWaters.dll

BepInEx\plugins\DangerousWaters\CaelanorMastPlatforms.dll (the Old Chronian refit)

BepInEx\plugins\DangerousWaters\CaelanorHatchFix.dll (the Caelanor's cabin hatch, see below)

BepInEx\plugins\DangerousWaters\OldChronianReadable\ (the four Old Chronian ships, readable; see below)

BepInEx\plugins\DangerousWaters\dwpirates

BepInEx\plugins\DangerousWaters\dwpirates.manifest

BepInEx\plugins\DangerousWaters\Sounds\... and a few text files beside them.

The folder must be named DangerousWaters. Start the game once. The settings

file BepInEx\config\com.roy.dangerouswaters.cfg is written on the first run.

Press F1 for the settings: about forty of them. Tick "Advanced settings" at

the top of F1 only if you want the two hundred tuning and diagnostic keys too.

A save that has DW guns or shot aboard depends on this mod. Uninstall it

and those items are gone from the save. This is true of any Sailwind mod that

adds items or ships: if a save stops loading after you remove a mod, put the

mod back, take its items off your ship, then remove it again, or use Save

Cleaner where the mod supports it.
