Dutchman

maybe someone like pieter or the person who made an excellent job of creating the black pearl could make the improvements on the dutchman
 
Has any of you had a look at either Razor's Dutchman or Thomas the Terror's version ingame? I don't think it's fair to judge either of them based on solely screenshots and videos. They should be tried out in the game as well. Personally I would love to have the Thomas the Terror version improved with a more accurate sail plan and Razor's sails and possible have the stern slightly remodeled to be more like the film's Dutchman. The best would, I think, be to try and make a mix of both versions, taking the best of both, leaving out the bad things and making one version that is better than either one seperately.
 
i've tried razor's version ingame, but i don't its as good as the other dutchman. when using razor's i can clearly see that theres another hull layered over the top

which one is the thomas the terror version
 
The other version. I call it the Thomas the Terror version because he found it on the Russian forum and helped me putting her into the game and made the sails and improved lamp texture for it.
 
i agree with mikey. the TTT version has a way too wide stern. the real dutchman has a more galleon-shaped stern, with two walkways and galleries.
 
the only trouble is gettin it to look like that without makin it look out of place e.g. back end being slimmer than the front.
 
I made my own version of Dutchman sails.

The "real" sails look like that:

And my version looks like this:

Personally, I'm not quite happy with them yet, but, maybe you have some additional comments?
 
ok, maybe this will wind up as a double post. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

i think that the weeds look more like thick vines, but still, it looks good to me.
 
Yeah, I noticed that myself... ok, v2 is going to have thinner veins <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> And darker, too.
 
hey kazeite, seeing that you've done such an excellent job at creating the black pearl, would you consider improving thomas the terror's model of the flying dutchman

TTT Flying Dutchman

i'll look at the dutchman's from a different perspective this time: the TTT version has a whole lot more guns. and the more guns, the better. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
 
razor, i think thats an excellent idea using your masts and sails with TTT's Model, but the hull still needs some adjustments
 
I would love to have the improved sail plan on the Thomas the Terror version. I was also thinking of tripling the forward chaser gun locators and increase the number of forward chasers to six. That would simulate the "gattling gun" effect of those cannons: Three cannons on the same spot that can all fire. I haven't tried it yet, but I think it should be relatively easy and might actually work. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
great idea about the triple guns pieter. also i've noticed that the deck is incorrect, the real dutchman has a lower area in the centre of the deck which has stairs leading down eg
