Character Switching

A lot of great new models have been released lately, but the game doesn't use them. Almost all quest characters still use the same dull stock characters. In my modpack, I already switched a few character models, but there needs to be done more. This is the place to propose character switches. For a list of available character models, visit <a href="http://pieter.piratesahoy.net" target="_blank">Pieter's Pirate Page</a>.

- I reckon that the QC pirate leader, Jurcksen, could do with a new, more piratey skin. I just dont know which one would be appropriate. Any ideas? This would also free up his original model to be used for more generic purposes.
- Raoul Rheims also looks very generic. I'd like to see him use a more cool and unique character model. I was thinking 50evl2in by Petros, Nathan Kell suggested one of the new A&M mod corsair models. Suggestions welcome.

Feel free to add you own suggestions. Good ones will be added to an upcoming modpack version.

If the idea is for Reims to look unique, I don't think the A&M corsairs work.
Corsairs 4 and 5 look just like Corsair 1!

Now if someone slaps on a different face, and changes the ascot/collar treatment, then it would be unique. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />


As for 50Evl2in, Reims would probably look like that once you catch up to him, after he has been on the run, and being shot at.

I'm not convinced however, that Reims would look like Evl2in when you first meet him. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
Petros: Heh, you ferretted out my meaning, bwahaha... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

For Jurcksen, there don't seem to be any old-rich-pirate models...best I could think of is Capnhook.
 
I just started a reskin of corsair1 possibly for Jurcksen, but I'll keep in mind something for Man3 Reims!

If anyone elso would like to try ... please do!
 
I like Jurckson the way he is, big bald guy with just this purpetual mean look on his face. I never see that model anywhere else anyway.

Pieter mentioned once using my captain guy in a red coat and yellow bandana for Rheims, I forget the model name. He looks sort of Spanish and with the name I figured that's what Rheims is meant to be.
 
I like using the Jurcksen skin for one of my officers. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I always thought Rheims was French. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
We could use HIgh Sea Lass' 33_Ronald model for Jurksen. Another thing is the 2nd pirate governor (Jurksen either gets killed or captured by you at the battle of Khael Roa)
 
HKD: I think Lass wants to reserve Ronald for other use...
(But check the New Characters thread for Petros's new Pirate Leader...)
Good point about Jurcksen dying/being captured, though; I'd completely forgotten...
 
Yes, thank you, Nathan, I would rather see Ronald as, uh, Ronald! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

I could of course tweak a model to suit "the new Jurksen" though, if need be. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Sorry, I didnt read the "Unique" bit on the char summary thing.

Hmmm, 50evl2in is a good Rheims, in my opinion. How about Wurmwoode as a new Jurksen?
 
Ines in the tavern says that Jurcksen was BLOND, too. - wait - <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" /> No, not blond, but blue eyed. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
Perhaps he's wearing contact lenses? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
I made the following character switches recently:
- Replace Isenbrandt Jurcksen with Petros' Boss1 skin
- Replace Raoul Rheims with Petros' evl2in skin (only temporary to see if it looks fine)
- Replace Clair Larousse with Petros' Claire:
> Having a few problems here: Getting her to sit in the tavern is not working properly yet, even though I know it <i>is</i> possible now. PLEASE HELP!
> Some more dialogs and quest text might need to be femalized. Actually: The Clair Larousse_dialog.c hasn't been edited at all yet. But I promise it will be soon.
> I set ch.sound_type = "female_citizen"; for her, but I don't recall hearing her with a female voice yet

These changes will be in the next update that I am wanting to upload today.
 
I don't think sound_type is ever used, what's used is playsound calls from the LAi Type.
Maybe there's a sex check in SetSitType?
I'll check...

So how should I give Claire a proper female voice then?
And thanks for going to check out the sitting problem. It's really quite annoying. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
Change her greeting. That's the sound that's played when you initiate dialog.
For the auto-play sounds, that's done by LAi_CharacterPlaySound() which is called after determining sex, so that shouldn't be a problem.
 
Does anyone else think some character models for important quest characters are still pretty dull? Ewan Glover, anyone?
