An ambitious project

[Pieter Boelen]

Note that the same texture is used elsewhere in that town model. It doesn't look bad to me, but as usual I'd welcome it if other people had a look at it too.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Updated Cartagena town textures included in WIP 18, along with new and improved loading screens: http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/build-14-beta-3-progress.20686/
Comments appreciated, of course.

Great! That's better.
To Armada: the fort will have a big role in the last part of the quest.

Swapped out the "tavern" sign in front of the blacksmith with a more appropriate one.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Good point

I think I'll add a few inside locations in the Cartagena Center. There are some good mansions I could use for the quest... and maybe I will add a jail...

To Pieter:
When I create locators, i use the side-step. Problem: with the last version of this feature, we must click many, many and many times to go up to a 'far' location. Can you send me a file that re-installs the old system?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Jack Rackham had the same issue and we came up with this solution. In PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h find:

#define SIDESTEP_DIST_LEFT         0.05   // FLOAT - Default=0.05, distance traveled per step when sidestepping to the LEFT
#define SIDESTEP_DIST_RIGHT         0.05   // FLOAT - Default=0.05, distance traveled per step when sidestepping to the RIGHT

Change one of those values so that you get large steps to one side and small steps to the other side.

Thanks Pieter

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

just a thought about the worldmap: maybe we shouldn't use the word "Colombia"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Kingdom_of_Granada

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Might get nicely confusing when we've also got Grenada.

 

[Armada]

That's interesting. Maybe we could call it 'Kingdom of Granada' until the end of Period 2, and 'New Granada' from then on.
After all, if we're being pedantic about all the other islands' names throughout each period, why should we make an exception for Colombia?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Just made the code adjustments for that. Will be in the next update.
For the sake of it, I'd like to keep it called "Colombia" in Napoleonic.

 

[Armada]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

I agree

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Just a thought: The ground texture for the Cartagena townhall garden should be improved. If a texturer is interested in this work, I'll appreciate his help.

I don't want to create new thread for some stupid question. I'm playing this new part and I'm to meet this Ortega guy at the townhall but he's not there. I searched whole city for him.

 

[fjx]

OK, now I'm shot every time i break the window.

 

[Jack Rackham]

You have to be quicker entering the church after breaking the window.

 

[fjx]

I knew it was your work, Jack. I felt it. Thank you. What after getting out of church though?
P.S. The story repeats for the third time, eh?

I'm not sure Bartolomeu is done with that part.
