This topic is to show my progress on editing correct walk files and rope data for all the AOP ship to hopefully be included into build 13.5 and others:

Done:

AOP Brig
AOP Lineship
AOP Fleut

I am working on the AOP Manowar at the moment but as I can't open the hull model in Tool I had to improvise. It has taken a few days to do but the Manowar is almost complete. Also I think it would be good if the Manowars hull texture was the one without the plating as I think it looks better:

Once all walk files and rigging are complete then I will post them <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Thanks a lot for your work! When you're done with the Manowar walk file, could you possibly also upload the hull texture without plating so that I can replace the texture currently in the Build? Judging by your screenshot, it does look better without plating.

i agree <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> , maybe some better textures will improve her.. i was thinking of doing that
 
well, it's mainly it's shape. but a better texture would still greatly improve it.
 
The shape is odd; I agree. What about that AoP Fleut? I don't think I've ever even seen a screenshot of that one... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Here is the AOP Fleut, I have fixed the ropes, camera height and edited a walk file for it, download link at the bottom of picture. Pieter if you think the Manowar is odd wait till you see the AOP Warship <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

That ship is a merge of Caravel and Fleut mate. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

Looks good but i can't say ENTIRELY good to a ship with just 8-12 cannons
and what has a look of a Caravel shiptype. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
great tnx! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
that's an older type of fleut than the PotC version. that's a fleut from the time where the design was only just more or less standardised. the PotC version is the improved version of it.
 
Interesting. Doesn't look that much like a fleut to me. The stern is not so high and narrow as the fleuts I know. Nice ship though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
as i said, it's a pretty early fleut. that's what they used to look like before the batavia and such.

I agree. But that does´nt go for the AOP Manowar and some of the other ships in AOP. Especially the square walkways are ugly and sluggish made.
 
Here is the AOP Manowar, I have edited the Walk file and fixed the rigging.

Also in Ships.init change the cannon total to 102 as it has that many, I also suggest change the entry in common.ini from Light Manowar to Man-o-war (I think it sounds better).

More coming soon <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Thanks very much! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
yeah... manowars, no matter how many guns, are NOT light. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

i agree that most of the AOP ships are pretty ugly. they're too corner-y and square. i'm more for the flush lines and curves in a ship. the fleut's not bad at all.
 
Sorry, but with quite a few of these ships, when I copy the files to the game, it asks if I want to replace the already existing files of the same name...

using build 14.6


PS. The forums scaring me... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
