    The Historical Ships Mod

    Maybe it should be set so that ships that surrender to you or ship under your command are boardable, all other surrendered ships are not boardable. Or have a check where if your crew is less than a certain amount (like 2/3 of the boarded ship) the surrendered ship will resist boarding and fight...

    The Historical Ships Mod

    I do like that idea, I don't know how to do that though. It would be cool if a ship would surrender just to another ship rather than to an entire nation.

    The Historical Ships Mod

    Vinnipuk, I'm not quite sure how to address that problem because I think the problem there is more the fact of being able to board ships that you don't cause to surrender than anything else. Even if the ship that you had boarded was a class 2 warship, you would still have been able to board it...

    Graphical glitches

    I've had it happen with nearly every shiptype I've sailed. I haven't been able to figure out what causes it as it just seems to appear randomly in all sorts of conditions. It starts out pretty subtle, but as I sail it gets worse. The only way to stop it is to go to land or the world map. It...

    Graphical glitches

    I've been getting very strange graphical problems with Build 14 and maybe its just my imagination, but it seems to have gotten worse with the latest patch. I get random colors that take up half the screen and blink very fast. I snapped some screenshots until I caught it. Has anyone else had...

    The Historical Ships Mod

    There is the AmericanHeavyWarship model, but that thing is so covered in guns, I have no idea how it floats. :lol: I think there are 74 guns on that ship! I think something a bit less armed might look good.

    The Historical Ships Mod

    On the Lineships, if someone added some more cannons, I think they would be great to use as 4th rates again, but I don't know how to do that and wouldn't presume on others to do it. As far as the warships, like I said above, I wouldn't be sad to see them gone altogether, but if they stay in, I...

    The Historical Ships Mod

    I am now here to answer your questions, apparently my decision has caused quite a stir. The ships are too big to be frigates, but they only have 40 guns on the supposed lineships and 44 guns on the warships. They really don't fit into any category of fighting ship. (To be honest, I think the...

    My retexture of HMS Constitution

    Oooh, that might be my new favorite frigate! The old POTC original frigates just can't hold a candle to some of the beautiful ships that have come out. Any chance you can upload that for others to use? :onya2

    Solved Fixing the Build Mod Ships

    At the risk of sounding dumb, what is the ship remasters project? Is it overlapping work with any of the issues that I listed above? I would hate for you, Suraknar or myself to duplicate efforts on anything.

    Ship Images

    Oh, I see, I did really like the original Manowar3 from AOP, but I also really like the reskin, so I can't complain. I don't sail with class one ships much to begin with so it's not a huge deal for me personally either way. Now that the names and classifications have been redone, I think it...

    The Historical Ships Mod

    I think that looks pretty good. It does seem to take a long time to get a promotion though. I've never actually ever gotten to Admiral. Have others? I tend to play as pirates more though, so it is hard for me to judge it.

    The Historical Ships Mod

    If you want to be historically accurate, Commanders commanded sloops of war, a captain would command anything from a frigate to a ship of the line. Commodores commanded more than one ship and were typically considered "senior captains", Admirals would command a fleet. Admirals never personally...

    Ship Images

    I think I missed something here. Which ship do you want in DJ? I do agree that some ships should be taken out, with all the corvettes (now light frigates) and frigates, they get generated all too often even though they should be just because of the number of models. Also, I don't mean to...

    Mooring ships at the jetty

    That will be nice that enemy ships don't show up in ports. That was always such a hassle because it was impossible to maneuver to engage effectively and you couldn't go back to port if you needed to.

    Mooring ships at the jetty

    I would recommend doing it by crew size, that is the strongest correlation with ship size. There are some large ships with very few guns and cargo space is all over the place. If you tell me what the code would be for the jetty, I could add it into the appropriate ships in the ship_init.c file...

    The Cursed Pearl

    I have also noticed that ships don't always have the same speed. It varies based on nationality and also for other reasons that I'm not quite sure as I haven't fully looked through the code. I have seen the same exact ship get sold at several different ports and at each location have a different...

    Solved Fixing the Build Mod Ships

    Just a note, I read Suraknar's post about what collision detection. I did not test ships to see how close they could get to another ship, so if that is an issue for some ships, I don't know which ones those are. I don't believe that I remember every running into that particular issue, but if it...

    Solved Fixing the Build Mod Ships

    The messed up deck textures on the brigs was coming from an incorrect path file, I uploaded to the FTP the correct path files for those ships. I tested them and they work, so those are fixed. I will keep working on those that I can. We need some way to split this up between anyone interested...

    Solved Fixing the Build Mod Ships

    OK, I've got quite a list here of all the problems I have observed with all the ships. However, some are just worse than others. I will list them by importance of the problems. Some of the issues like the brig deck textures, I should be able to fix and upload. There are a ton of ships that are...
