Yea after long time im back to work on my mod(i was working on games like gta 4,sims 3,farming simulator etc) taked alot time for me but hey im back ill update my thingys here only on bigger parts of mods not for few text files changed anyway what things are new.I got separated mod (just for me lets say its like backup of only my mods).But now im working on gof 1.0+1.1+1.2 and i u all did great job but stil i need to complain on ships i know u had good intensions by em but still alot of em have model bug which cant be fixed easy let me explain:
1 - Sun is on right side and glowing from right side but ships are darker on right side where they are supossed to be light and dark on left side and thats very big prob to me becouse my weather mod cant be applyed to gof becouse all those ships and belive me on my words my weather is very very realistic i spended over 6 days without stop(without switching jobs) to get right colors to match fogs and sky,very detailed waves(amp1+amp2) and harmonics,new sea reflections+ sea bump ok to much talk :D

Good to see you ovahenort, welcome back mate! :dance

I am no modder by any means, but I would think it would very much be possible to use the same particle effects from POTC, I really wouldn't have any clue how to do it though.

I think in theory it might be possible for each ship to have different crew, but I think the Dutchman and the Perl are unique ships, and you will find that kind of effort might really not be worth your time mate. But as I said before, I really am no modder :facepalm
 
PotC only allows different crew for ONE SINGLE SHIP in the game. Nothing can be done about that without the source code. Of course for CoAS we DO have the source code, but we haven't gotten much of anywhere with that yet. It would be great even if we could get it to compile properly and then make small adjustments as required. But no luck so far, it appears.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, PotC and CoAS use different particle systems, which doesn't make it easy to port over the effects. Too bad, because a lot of the ones in PotC indeed are very good.
 
The Akella tools are the GM Viewer, TX Converter and Maya export plugin. I can give you the password if you think you can use it. :doff
 
It is the file that seaward.ru sent us. I think it's got their AoP/CoAS sailorstool too, if I recall. The correct Maya plugin can't be found elsewhere as far as I know.
 
yea dont add to much objects couse then ull shadows will be totaly f...d that was most annoying thing to me also if u need any tips ask me :)
 
I still need info about these files:
loclighter.ini - This as far i know is for some kinda lights etc but i didnt notice any changes in game while testing(what for is this file)
particles.ini - we got 2 files of these in different folders i tryed to edit and test both but no visible changes in game(does this have any effect and where)
 
particles.ini is used in PotC in any case, but doesn't CoAS use a different particle system?
 
maybe but which file couse i cant find anything in txt things...i hope its not used xps particles couse i dunno how to edit em =(
Resources>particles
 
From what I understand, AoP and CoAS DO use those .xps files. I'm only familiar with the PotC style files, so I don't know anything about those either. :(
 
One silly question: Are you making this a separate mod for CoAS or would you intend it to become part of our other modpack(s) for the game?
 
it will be patch for gof under destiny of pirate name but both credits will be in game im just waiting new patches for gof to add em to my mod so nothing will be droped out so far except few ships :) couse most ppl play gof and i just updated my mod to merge with gof
 
I got Maya 5.0 with required plugins but we dont have plugin to export obj files into gm files back? Any other way to convert obj into gm file without harming it?

The GM Viewer has an "OBJ Export" button at the bottom of the screen. Doesn't work entirely right for large models, but that's the way to do it.

Sounds good. I always prefer if all mods are combined together; not much point in having too much things separate. :facepalm
