Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

Being as this thread has already been bumped I might as well add that the silent gatling gun and other sounds were due to an incompatibility with the FMOD sound system, but this was removed in later GZDoom versions and OpenAL plays the sounds correctly. I actually released a fixed version (before FMOD was removed, and with a number of fixes not just the sounds) on ModDB linked to the mod itself, so it can be found in the mod's downloads there.

Thanks for pointing it out! Here is the direct link to latest version 1.8.3 for those that are too lazy to google it. ^^

I've just updated my fixed version to v1.8.4 as the activate OpenGL renderer messages issue has now been solved thanks to this thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=61609
The first two maps of the mod were using ACS scripts to check the value of the now defunct vid_renderer cvar and if it wasn't set to 1 (or not present at all as it is now defunct) then it would cause some silly messages to show up on screen, and then in the second map after the messages have finished it kills the player. This was originally because the mod required the OpenGL renderer on the old GZDoom versions, but the new versions of GZDoom work differently and don't have this cvar any longer. As such, all I've done is strip out the checks in the ACS scripts for the two affected maps (thankfully the ACS source is present in the original Pirate Doom v1.8).

New version can be found here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/pirate-doom/ ... v-18-fixed

I love this mod, but ive got a problem with it recently and the opengl requirement. it's on but doesnt sense it... and so it's unplayable... HALP

I fixed this in my fixed version. Basically I just removed the check from the ACS script.
