ships rigging

I think the ropes of the ships are much to thin. can they be made a little bit thicker?? you can hardly see the rigging from your own ship!
 
As far as I know the ropes are just made as lines joining two points. As far as I know the thickness can't be changed. But I might be wrong on that way. I'm not exactly "Mr. Rigging". <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

No.
The ropes are not lines but meshes.

They use the texture "Sail_rope.tga.tx" but you won't find any rope.gm.

They are probably locked away in some dll file so we won't be able to get at them to resize them.
Even if we could, as the engine.exe only uses one size for ship rigging, what would be the right size?
 
Consider myself corrected. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> @ Petros

You are right about not being able to change the thickness.
 
Hehe. Thank you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
Well for one, I'd like to have thicker ropes too <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

it would have been nice if we could make them ticker <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sad" border="0" alt="icon_sad.gif" />
