Solved Black Pearl: Floating Crewmen

[Lazy]

The problem can be seen in the picture below:

The crewmen walking on the Pearl aren't really nailed down to the ship itself

Not entirely sure if this was already reported or if people just decided to ignore it but if there's a way to fix this by myself I would appreciate if someone shared it.

@The Nameless Pirate; do you know if a proper crew walk file was ever made for the AoP/CoAS?

Converting from those games back to PotC is relatively easy.
But the other way, I believe not so much...

Well I stayed up all night yesterday reading how to fix it myself and I managed to pull through!

It looks better and they actually look like they're walking on the ship now. Although I did use the sailorspoints given away in this other thread and edited it because it also has the same problem of floating crewmen.

I attached the sailorspoints file just in case someone else wants it because floating crewmen isn't exactly immersive lol.

I made one when I ported the Black Pearl from NH to TEHO, it should also work in CT/COAS.

If you are interested, you can find it on the Black Pearl mod in my signature.

Nah, from what I remember it is just as easy.
The same tool is used for both procedures.

Good work!

Thanks I'll check it out! Just checking, is there a way to port the curse Black Pearl from the PoTC vanilla game to CoAS? The closest I can find in my current GOF mod (ver 1.0) is the Light Frigate which is a retexture of the Black Pearl Frigate

 

[Mikafu]

Oh, and for future readers of this thread, the old Black Pearl model in GOF v 1.0 does not have this bug, nor the waterline issue!

 

[Mikafu]

Hello, thought I might put this issue here,

I recently captured a 28 gunned frigate, overall it looks good, very elegant. However, the gun decks are inaccessible. There is clearly a ladder leading down and my crew on deck walk up and down on it freely. Is there a way to remove that "invisible barrier"?

 

[Mikafu]

Also, could someone link to me the thread for porting ships over? I also require the Black Pearl frigate files from PoTC so that I can port it into CoAS

The camera walk patch is saved in the GM file.
That would need to be changed with Maya.

Also, could someone link to me the thread for porting ships over?

Plenty tutorials here: Tutorials
But maybe it it this one you need?
Tutorial - Porting ships from POTC to AOP

 

[Mikafu]

Thanks Pieter, Maya? I'll check it out

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

Not just any version though.
You will need Maya 5, since this is what version this plug-in work for.

[Mikafu]

could you tell me how to get version 5, and how to use it? Plus its only a free trial

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

I think that @Pieter Boelen can help you with this.

Edit: nvm I found the SAILORSPOINTS file in my game directory.
