You should really check out that forum and post any questions you may have in regards to ship modeling. AFAIK, you are the only person on the COAS forum who is modeling ships, so most of the other modders here may wish to answer some of your questions, they just lack the knowledge on how, including myself.

I can definitely see some differences Ovahenort, but the resolution of the videos make it a bit tough to really make out fine detail. I can really notice a difference in the size, and with the reflected light on the water from the sun and moon. I do like your overall sea lighting effects from what I can see.

Your ship textures of course look great, and your grass texture stands out pretty noticeably as well, as do your charterer textures, those look fantastic! If you could post a full resolution screen shot of two similar scenes, that might help a bit more to see the some of the effects more clearly. Nice work mate, I am looking forward to seeing the full release! :onya
 
movie is s..t becouse gamecam i dunno which program to use to get better movie quality :shrug (gamecam give me 24 bit color palete)
thing is that if it not moving its not noticeble - i mean on ambient light which gives real shadows ill see what i can do later so ill update old movies....maybe HQ ones xD: xD:

weird ...I am running Windows 7 32 bit and have no problems with it whatsoever. Are you using 32 or 64 bit mate? My systems specs are listed under my sig. It might be a conflict with something else you have running in the background, or could be a codec issue. Codecs can cause a lot of weirdness sometimes, even with things in Windows that have absolutely nothing to do with them. I ran across another free program a while back that can help you track down codec issues without uninstalling and re-installing all your codecs, this little program enables and disables them with a mouse click. You can find that program HERE.
 
i got 1 problem and need fast info so i can continue my work here it is:
i have very beautifull sky and weather and sea effects and im almost done but couse im not using allways fog in weather only in morning hours and storms problem is when comes time in game without fog closest
island sitting good in water but others which are far from me are floating over water
original coas use fog to hide that problem but if u want realistic caribbean weather help me to find codes where to manipulate with these islands
i want throw them into water to have real look i really need all ur help here couse im 100% with my mind into weathers so i dont have time to search for those codes

waiting answers :will
 
With all the fog in CoAS, I figured they were trying to hide some of the flaws in the engine, but I never was sure just what. Looks like that would be one of them, but I have no idea what to do about it. It might not be possible to fix it without access to the source code, even then it might be tough to fix. For now, your only solution may be to re-enable the fog. :shrug

I had a quick look through some of the island files, in \Age of Pirates 2\Program\islands\Islands_init.c one thing I noticed is every island entry seems to have two lines commented out :

Code: 
		//Islands[n].ImmersionDistance = 3500;
//Islands[n].ImmersionDepth = 0;

I have absolutely no idea what those do, might be worth checking out though. It may also have something to do with the island locators, but I really have no clue about those.
