after i beat the black pearl at the end, can i still play on my file because i sunk the black pearl and it showed me the credits and it just went back to the load screen where i had saved it in the temple, so is that it?

yep, start a new game. with CHEAT CODES. i was very pissed that you cant continue, since all my saves were in the temple and 1 before the pearl battle

can you tell me how do you get that ball out of the temple that you need to defeat the black pearl.

You have to look around that maze for awhile, I think going down is usually the right thing to do in the maze. At the end there are skulls and arrows or something that show you the way, just follow them once you get there.

Heyitsjohn saved me from saving all my saves in the temple by posting, I made sure I had a save before I went there, although I might've done it anyway, maybe not.

My goal is to get a couple of million dollars now. $100 million would be cool, that way I could be like that guy in SWAT, "I will give you $100 million dollars for whoever gets me out of here."lol. If I ever get that much my quest for money will probably continue to beat Bill Gates wealth etc.

I'm just talking though I only have around $200 000 so far.

you automatically get the orb that helps defeat the pearl, you know you have it if it shows the cutscene where danielle picks it up. basically if you're past the temple part and into the pearl battle you will have it. just hit y, then abilities, then scroll over till you find the orb, then hit a, then watch undead pirate filled FMV, then kill the pearl.

uh...when you pass thru the temple do you go straight to the black pearl? cause i have a save on the shores of khael roa and i have the manowar but i need to beat the temple to be on my ship so im asking can i roam after i beat the mazt thing or do i automatically get sent straight there? can i roam about the arpilegalamo thingummy in my new manowar once ive beat the temple?

Enabling continued play after winning the main quest
Use Notepad to open INSTALLDIR\Program\Quests\quests_reaction.c file find the following code:

case "Story_KillTheFinalBoss_2": bQuestDisableMapEnter = false; bMainMenuLaunchAfterVideo = true; InterfaceStates.Buttons.Resume.enable = false; InterfaceStates.Buttons.Save.enable = false; GameOver("finish"); DelEventHandler(EVENT_END_VIDEO,"LaunchMainMenu_afterVideo"); bMainMenuLaunchAfterVideo = true; PostVideoAndQuest("ending",100, "credits"); break; case "credits": PostEvent("DoInfoShower",100,"s",""); PostVideoAndQuest("credits", 1, "end_game"); break; case "end_game": LaunchMainMenu(); Characters[GetCharacterIndex("researcher")].Dialog.CurrentNode = "First time"; Characters[GetCharacterIndex("danielle")].Dialog.CurrentNode = "First time"; break;

and replace it with the following piece of code (don't forget to make a backup first!):

case "Story_KillTheFinalBoss_2": bQuestDisableMapEnter = false; DelEventHandler(EVENT_END_VIDEO,"LaunchMainMenu_afterVideo"); PostVideoAndQuest("ending",100, "credits"); break; case "credits": PostEvent("DoInfoShower",100,"s",""); PostVideoAndQuest("credits", 1, "end_game"); break; case "end_game": Characters[GetCharacterIndex("researcher")].Dialog.CurrentNode = "First time"; Characters[GetCharacterIndex("danielle")].Dialog.CurrentNode = "First time"; break;

I think it would be better if you set Danielle and the researcher as officers rather that just getting them. type setofficer instead... and to make the code simpler, why not just erase the lines that loads mainmenu and thats it. the game goes on. but also set character timer to 1900 coz your player has a life span of only 30 years i think. id been reading the codes for 2 days now =) i can say it's pretty neat and easy to debug\edit =)

yeah its the end......i think i accidentally cheated on one of my old games on it-i had a rly annyin comp that kept freezing so i got rly annoyed and started to press all the keys together-one time when this happened i got back on and i discovered that i had 100,000,000,000 gold extra than i did before-very funny (and useful) glitch
