<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> I've made a ship before but there was some critics about it... and well I made some adjustments. The previous ship was under <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?act=findpost&pid=227964" target="_blank">that</a> post. The new, real Black Corsair is in <b>this</b> post! The older Black Corsair isn't realistic, that is why I and other members which I respect don't want to use it in-game. This is why I made this newer version of the Black Corsair, which you can download <a href="http://dodownload.filefront.com/9370044//8169b7fd101453ca7df83b6ddabaaf94d998768cf9e4aaceaed890fb01d66cee3e4baa75021839e8" target="_blank">here</a>. For the screenshots question, I am really sorry to everybody (especially Petros: Sorry mate. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> ). Due to a system error, I was unable to take screenshots in-game. I will try to fix this problem but for now, I try to make as clear screenshots as I can with GM viewer. Here they are (and sorry again):

Oh great... Don't tell me it uses another custom deck texture... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sleep.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="-_-" border="0" alt="sleep.gif" />

And don't you think it's a little too black? It's just a black blob with some gray and gold stuff visible. Doesn't look very realistic, now, does it? Find corvette <i>Mefisto</i>s skin, or stock <i>Black Pearl</i> - this'll show you how ships painted black should look like.
 
Looks interesting! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Nice one that Ship could become wery cool!!

MAby its to dark/ black.. You should maby make some parts with litle more lightning... I dont know.. maby colour the railing on Pic: 6 brown or something... I dont know its your ship...

summary: Cool ship but litle too dark hehe.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="cheers.gif" />



Keep up to good work... This ship can become great <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate_plain.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p3" border="0" alt="pirate_plain.gif" /> Chris
 
Question: If she were to be added to the Build mod, where could we use her? She shouldn't be one of those ships you see all over the place, right? Perhaps she can be used somewhere as quest only ship, or only available from Vanderdecken's "shipyard"? Or an uncommon pirates only ship?
 
Quest-related posts split to <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11382" target="_blank">this thread</a>.
 
well, it looks a lot better than the previous one, that's for usre. pretty nice, in fact. i do agree though that it's a bit too black. maybe it looks better in-game.

I am not even sure, it should be in the Build, in fact I am not sure that everything that was ever produced should be included the Build pr. default. If we dont know where to put stuff anymore without making an excuse for doing so, then we probably should´nt <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

IBesides, Pieter Boelen is complaining about the size of the mod on a regular basis and I think someone mentioned, that the Build already holds over 100 different ships? I see a ship in the "Goth" style, which is a modern offspring from the 20th century urban arts. I doubt there were any black and white/gold-only ships out there in the 17th century, its nor the other way: the more colours, the more dangerous and powerfull. Also, we certainly have enough "cursed" ship. I am sorry, I couldnt wrap this into a more polite way of saying it.

But for a first-time-modding try it is really good and James Ironhook can be proud of his work, and the fun he had reskinning it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
have you seen petros' war galleons yet? those are mostly black, and look very good despite it.
 
Well maybe that's because we can actually see something there despite the fact they're black, huh? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

That's the whole secret: make it "wood painted black" black, not "black hole" black.
 
As for modpack size: Yeah, that's a problem. It would surprise me if Build 14 does NOT turn out to be 1 GB at least. Indeed we should perhaps stop putting every single thing in. We've got over 150 ships already. Perhaps we should hold off on adding too much new stuff and perhaps we should even consider removing some stuff. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
well, actually that ship comes from a book about a sailor called Black Corsair and well, the book itself is called the black corsair.. you are right, Pieter. It should be in a quest, but not related to the book because the book talks about how he got revenge on a spanish governor.. I don't really remember but anyway, I really know NOTHING about making quests, so I can't really help.. It is to you guys to decide for what you want to use the ship for.
 
I know you use Adobe photoshop cs2 right? I whonder,, What brush do you use to get those lines? on pic 2 ?

or how do you do it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" />

Btw, why it shouldn't use a custom deck texture??? I just thought it makes a ship a lot more original when it uses one..

Yea it was... but you know what? You can just cut off parts from OTHER ships and paste them into the ship you want. Btw, it really looks good when you do so, I've tried it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />



As for the "too black/dark" comments, it is (if we follow the book..) supposed to be a ship, so dark, that it can even hide into the darker shadows of the night... I mean, this isn't a normal ship, it's a legendary one... But I actually think your maybe right... I'll try it in-game and we'll see what it does. By the way, speaking of in-game: had anyone actually already tried it?
 
Some ingame screen shots would help <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Haven't tried her, no. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
As for custom deck textures: We already have quite a lot of those and the number keeps increasing. Especially if all new ships have different deck textures. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Another hint for you Matey.

"If you don't, no one else will either."

You have to show that "<i>you</i>" care enough about how your creations look, by actually getting them in game.

The only problem I think of is the "4chars name" of the deck.. is there a fix to this? Because, when I go to HEX EDITOR and I hex edit something, I can't Insert. Even if I DO insert more chars than 4 before the ".tga" , the deck kind of sorta dissapears in the gm viewer (think of what happens in-game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> )
