<!--QuoteBegin-CouchcaptainCharles+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(CouchcaptainCharles)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->I often find these "ambient" ghostvoices most annoying.

I'm only working on this quest right now because it's something I know I can do - I got bogged down in my Sneaky Trader quest as it's become much more complicated than I initially envisioned. This is not BAD, mind you, just frustrating...

I'm kind of waiting for the new trading interface to settle itself down - before I get too much deeper into my ST mod, anyhow... The new islands and the new locations are also going to be a factor in what I do with the guy, too...

And the new locations will give me a chance to finally dust off the rest of the Estrella and Armand story - I see Armand as another "pirate king" type, with Estrella running an inn - in a hidden cove somewhere that you wouldn't be able to find unless you were "in the know"... Armand can be a quest generator, too, ala the governor's "Pirate Hunting" missons - only from a pirate, they can be raids on military envoys, capturing the treasure fleet, &tc... That kind of thing can be added to easily enough - and expanded to include many many many random tasks...

So much to do, so little time! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

Definitely better, yes.
The texture will give you no problems.
 
Catalina, I´m sorry, but I must tell it. This old man seemes to me better than the new one. This old (Neanderthal) man looked at least as a good swashbuckler but this new one looks somehow strange, too much effeminately, by my opinion. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />
 
Rad, we're here talking about a "young lad" (the son of the blacksmith - or cooper), if I'm getting it right.
 
Yes, I second Inez. It ill look real cool if we shrink it! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Not too YOUNG (like 13 or 14), mind you, but a late teen or someone in his early 20's and not very worldly.

I was thinking of Rolfe, the young Austrian courier in the movie "The Sound Of Music", who joins up with the Nazis when they occupy Austria, when I made this character.
 
<!--QuoteBegin-NathanKell+Apr 21 2005, 06:29 PM--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(NathanKell @ Apr 21 2005, 06:29 PM)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Changing somebody's model is very simple.
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->string modelid = "some_model_name";

Just pop that somewhere in reinit and you're all set. If you want to do the change only if the model isn't right:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->string modelid = "some_model_name";
string charid = "some_character_id";
ref chr = CharacterFromID(charid);
if(chr.model != modelid) {
ref model = &Models[AppearanceMod_GetModelIndex(modelid)];
AppearanceMod_SetModel(&chr, modelid, model.ani, model.sex, stf(model.height), false); }<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Nathan, or anybody, I'm confused...

I tried to change the model for Jordano from "man4" to "Diller" (my new character) using the code above but the ModHelper keeps kicking it back as "invalid syntax".

Not sure I have it right (this is in reinit.c) - <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->  string modelid = "Diller";
 string charid = "Jordano";
 ref chr = CharacterFromID("Jordano");
 if(chr.model != "Diller")
 {
     ref model = &Models[AppearanceMod_GetModelIndex("Diller")];
     AppearanceMod_SetModel(&chr, modelid, model.ani, model.sex, stf(model.height), false);
 }<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->The line that's making the game kick it back out is this one:

<span style='color:red'>ref model = &Models[AppearanceMod_GetModelIndex("Diller")];</span> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Any clue what I might have done wrong? I can't even get into the game. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
 
try it in two steps? And use ref mdl instead of model (in case model's already used)?
i.e. int idx = AppearanceMod_GetModelIndex("diller");
ref mdl; makeref(mdl, Models[idx]);

Make sure you reinit models first though, so "diller" gets added.
 
Heh. English, please? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Okay, I tried THIS:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->  string modelid = "Diller";
 string charid = "Jordano";
 ref model = &Models[AppearanceMod_GetModelIndex("Diller")];
 AppearanceMod_SetModel(CharacterFromID("Jordano"), modelid, model.ani, model.sex, stf(model.height), false);<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->And got this:

Don' t really understand much of this, but it looks like you get -1 for index because "diller" just isn't there.
If you try as Nathan says (first fetch the index into a variable (idx) and then in a second step get the array element Models[idx] with that index) you could in between check with trace or log_setStringToLog what the index is (and I suspect it'll be -1).
 
Well, I'll muddle through, as usual. Inez, thanks for the thought, I'll check it out. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Hee hee... Thanks! (gotta put the rest of the smileys in!!!)

I've been a bit busy lately so haven't had the time to get back on track with this mod, but hopefully I'll find some time this weekend. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Inez, if you could (when you can find a moment) please make this model just slightly smaller - maybe so he's the height of a woman instead of a man? I would like it to be noticeable that he's smaller, but not TOO small...

And thank you! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Yeah I haven't forgotten. Will try it as soon as I've slept. It's just the standard "killer" model, right ?
 
Yep, standard "killer" model is right. No rush... Just whenever you can find the time. I'll be at this fix for a bit, yet. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
