An ambitious project

That new Spanish soldier looks nice, Thomas!
Not sure I like the flag on his breast too much though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
And I really like that WIC boss as well; original choice of model. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
He indeed does look a bit intimidating; but that's not a bad thing.

Who is Juan Estiban again?
And good job to you too, Bartolomeu! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />
 
he reminds me of that school rector of ours. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
I do like the flag there, it adds some detail to it, and secondly I read that the spanish soldiers wore a little spanish flag on their uniform so they could identify eachother better on the battlefield.
 
I like´m both. Dont know about the flag, its such a small detail. Your model, you decide <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
If it's historically accurate, then the flag is fine by me.
I just thought it might look too "kiddy",
such as the flags on the sails of the original worldmap toy ships.
So listen to Peter: "Your model, you decide". <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Just the name I gave to that Spanish Captain you'll meet somewhere in the archipelago after finishing the main quest.
Otherwise, Monday, I will release a small surprise. It won't be the finished main quest but it's also about Bartolomeu. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
 
After all, I finished the <i>surprise</i> now.

You can find it here :
<a href="http://hosted.filefront.com/dasise/" target="_blank">http://hosted.filefront.com/dasise/</a>
 
What is the surprise exactly? Of course I don't have time to check it out.
If you don't want to spoil it for others, you can send me a PM. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Argh. Do I smell sarcasm? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

The surprise is a 25 mb-trailer, featuring what I think is a walkthrough of bartolomeu´s new story.
Did´nt get much of the plot - but it looks like you get around the world in that quest, to say the least <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> It would make a good commercial for the mod on youtube I think!

Bartolomeu o portoguese you also made some new animations? That jump from the wall and that guvernor, polishing his buckle, is not in the original game, are they? Anyway, if this is a stable version, I´d be more than happy to test it out..
 
As PeterWillemoes said, It's a trailer about my main quest, Pieter <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

I didn't make new animations...unfortunately... I tried to add new animations to the man.ani file but I didn't succeed. It seems we can't add new frames to the file <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

I worked hard to make this trailer.. Maybe, we should include this trailer into Build 14 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
The word is "agreement"; not "sarcasm". <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
Now I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing this.
Oh well; two more weeks. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
Indeed we probably SHOULD put that trailer somewhere.
How about if Build 13 Update 4 is ever finished,
we add it as Build 14 preview?
There is a movie that's played if you leave the main menu open long enough.
We can replace that one. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Indeed, we could use these possibilities :
As PeterWillemoes said, releasing it on Youtube as advertisement for the mod.
As you said, like advertisement in Build 13 Update 4 and for Build 14 replacing or even adding it to the original one.
 
why do you release an update for b13? shouldn't you be working on b14? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

At this point I'm <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> too. Things got messed up long before I arrived. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
 
Ok, Pieter. Sorry for mis-interpreting you <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Deep One: Some mods in B14 alpha 8 works, others are bugged and unfinished. I think "b13 update 4" would only include the stuff that actually works. My best guess.
 
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->There is a movie that's played if you leave the main menu open long enough.
We can replace that one.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->No, I wouldn't replace it, I would code it this way in Build 14 : if you have loaded the 'standart' storyline, you'd have the stock PotC trailer ; if you've launched Bartolomeu's main quest you'd have this one, and if you haven't loaded any new game/savegame you'd have one of the available trailers randomly. What you think of this?


Now to clear things about in-progress Build 13 update 4 :
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/readon.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="readon.gif" /> Currently we have let's say two playable build versions, that's build 13 and according to some people who've tried it build 14 alpha 6. Talking of Build 13, there are still some very serious bugs in it, some of them being solved in later 14 versions. Before the summer hollidays I had begin to work on some updates for it, that would include things like correction of the salary system, some of Bartolomeu's quests and a bunch of my own minor mods (expression for dialog talking heads for example). I was planing to add the French translation as well - NOT the one currently on the FTP, I don't know who worked on this one, but it was done using some automatic program that makes it ununderstable, better keep the game in English than use it. But unfortunatly my translation is still unfinished.
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/readon.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="readon.gif" /> The thing is, I didn't finish all this work on time and now I haven't got enough free-time to work on anything serious. So all progress on Build 13 update 4 are stopped. Those last past month I've only worked on small things in Build 14 alpha 8 : I've send some minor bug fixs to pirate_kk, and I've being trying to write a mod that play with sunrise/sunset hour & sun height/azimuth depending on date & longitude, compatible with Dr Maturin new weather mod - that need a lot of improvement/testing as well, by the way. So much things to do.

Sorry for spamming your topic with all that Bartolomeu <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />2 You're trailler movie is very nice!

I always like this kind of opinion about my work. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

About Build 13 update 4, the question is : Why we've been sticking for many months with an Alpha 8 hardly playable when we have available so many mods working correctly.

Why not release a version of Build 14 alpha 6 + its update 2 + some minors improvements as Build 13 update 4 ?

Sometimes, there are things I can't understand.. But maybe, I'm really stupid. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Alright alright, seriously. We need coders. Deep One, ever tried c? You could be talented, ya know. Can´t hide forever <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

Nah, I'm no coder. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" /> I do can change thing or two if I know what to do. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Besides I'm not really into old games.. especially when they're unfinished and buggy, Waiting english CoAS to come out. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> I'd mod that a little by adding some repainted ships. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
