WIP Swedish East Indiaman by Philipjn

[Grey Roger]

I can create a new version of "shipsBR.tga.tx" containing an interface picture for the Swedish East Indiaman. The trouble is, the FTP site appears to be down, at least for FTP access - I can get at it through the Internet and download files, but FTP can't see it to let me upload files. (@Levis reported a similar problem so it's not just me.) So I can't upload the file.

If anyone else wants to put this into "shipsBR.tga.tx" and edit "pictures.ini" to include it, here's the 256x256 version of the screenshot which I plan to use. Otherwise, it's going to have to wait until either the FTP site works or I figure out how to use Git.

@Jack Rackham reported it as well and I confirmed it yesterday. I already sent a message about it to the person in charge.

We do have a different FTP available that could be used in the meantime.
If necessary, I can share the login details for that one.

My antivirus mentioned someting about the ftp commander "general behaviour". Someone else?

I haven't used FTP Commander in years.

When we have a working FTP site, this is what you're going to get:


But whenever I'm tasked with doing something for a nice ship, e.g. producing an interface picture, I have this sudden urge to steal the ship:

Any news of the FTP-site?

No reply on the PM I sent, so I have just now sent an e-mail instead. Hopefully that helps.

EDIT: Yes, it did. Problem found and a solution is now available.

Strange. Although I need to use a different server to upload files, they appear for download at the same URL. Which means you can find the interface picture file, and the revised "pictures.ini" to use it, here:

Yup. Call it "computer magic". I don't understand it either.

The new adress works perfect.

I just discovered and bought this ship. It's a very nice model and is well detailed. But it has no crew. I'm too old and my eyes are too weak to do it meself so I do hope some young whippersnapper gets around to doing it.

Performance wise it doesn't seem to sail into the wind well even with stays, but maybe I'm just spoiled. I started with the Diligente tartane, then the Hoy, then the Fragata Latina.

True, nobody ever got round to making a crew walk file.
