I found the kraken in the phase files!
 

i updated the phase files and i found the kraken textures and attacks!

Unfourtenently you can catch the kraken while going fishing! How do i know? cause i checked in the fishing section and i found the kraken textures and other sea monsters in it. So its not just the kraken,There is no point of putting on the textures cause you guys have already sen them. And you can also fight him, update your phase files, go to GUI file phase_4 then you will see stuff like-

kraken_struggle
kraken_smackdown
kraken_grab

and stuff like that, everything that has to do with the kraken is in phase_4 maps section of gui. Davy Jones from the trailer use to be in there,but now its in hanheld i think. Thats the last time i saw him, oh well just wnated to tell you guys this bit of info and i dont mean to bring up the kraken cause ik some of you dont like hearing about sea monsters and stuff.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing.

np im gonna keep checking

i have the phase files and may i ask how do i update them? 0_0

wait do they update it auto?

Apologies for the noobish question, I am not familar with the phase files, where can I find them?

They would be in your PiratesOnline folder...

They're .pyd and .mf files right? What would I open them with?

Yes, you would open it with panda 3D

somehow i can only get into phrase_WL
D;

Those have been there forever. There's also grasping tentacles, doom tentacles, and other attacks it might use, as well as its patterns. Hey, I saw some pictures of that a while back. Anyone mind posting them if they still know where to find them?

And loverly sounding bits like ...

kraken.GrabberTentacle.grabAvatar

'Ouch, get off of me you nasty Kraken! Go grab someone else' :)

Unfortunenentl,HOW YOU UPDATE THEM IS, whenever you type in your password and user name it says updating pirates online right? sometimes? well when it does that delete the old phase files folders go to ur disney folder get the new ones out you know turn them into a folder with cmd and then there is something new in there, then when it says updating pirates online again next time you log on do that again.

AND ATTENTION! I MADE A MISTAKE, ITS PHASE_5 FOLDER IN THE CHA SECTION!

no these r diffirent! these arent ones that say kraken.grabber.avatar. THIS IS A COM PLETELY DIFFIRENT TEXTURE AND ATTACKS! i sware

They certainly are, I am looking at the actual code that runs the game not the images that are used by the enigne to display it :)

Good find, but don't expect to find the Kraken in the game before New Years.

Another Kraken thread...

I hope it gets released soon so we are all satisfied.

What exactly are the phase files? Sorry but I'm not familiar with this.

The phase files are the game :) (well, the bulk of it anyway)

The code that executes to become the game, the 3D models, the maps, the textures that cover models, the music.

They are compresssed using a selection of different processes, some of which (models, textures, music) can be unpacked with tools supplied with Panda3D while others may require different code utilies.

Ooh and people can view it? Just by going into their files?

Yep :) Well almost, there is at least one very handy tool out there that make the process simpler ;)

Phase1.pyd holds a copy of the game code as does phase_1.mf (Among other stuff, dll's and the like). The two copies are compared at runtime by Launcher.exe (as well as it checking BD5 checksum values) to ensure that they are the same, I assume to reduce simple hacking of the client.

how do i get panda 3D for the phase files
