Flags on ships in B14A9.5 Development Resources

I can't help you for this. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Is it something that Yo-ho-ho could settle ? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Don't think so. It's a Different Flags mod weird effect that I'd probably need Pirate_KK's or Screwface's help with.
As far as I'm aware, both the locators and the code are correct, yet it still doesn't appear to work right. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
I found another instance of the <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?s=&showtopic=13298&view=findpost&p=332665" target="_blank">Fast Caravel pennant problem</a>. On the barque1 and barque2, I can't place a pennant on mast 2 like I want.
If I do that, then no flag appears at all. Why is it impossible to place pennants at certain masts of certain ships??? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
I also got an instance where the flags on my barque2 in port were pirate flags, no matter what flag I was actually flying. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Do we want that or should we have pennants and merchant flags always?
This is also the reason for my barque problem report; the pennants DO work in the other periods. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

Bartolomeu's Santiago
I enlarged the ensign on mast3 since I thought that'd look better. Note, however, the ensign on mast5 too:
<img src="http://piratesahoy.net/build/temp/Santiago.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

I'd much rather have a pennant there, but if I use the following code, mast5 will simply have no flag at all:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    refShip.Flags.Mast2.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast3.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;
    refShip.Flags.Mast4.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast5.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
The following does work fine:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    refShip.Flags.Mast2.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast3.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;
    refShip.Flags.Mast4.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast5.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
I have attached my model files; hopefully somebody will be able to tell me what's wrong here. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

BTW: Please let me know if you think the ensign on mast3 should be larger still. I'm not quite sure... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
 
I have now sorted the pennants on all manowar type ships and also restored their on-deck crew.
For whatever mad reason, none of the manowars were using their walk files anymore. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
I need opinions on ships that can only fit pennant-size flags, like the Yacht:
<img src="http://piratesahoy.net/build/temp/Yacht1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
I'm inclined to put pennants only on the masts, since I find that an ensign reshaped to pennant size just looks too ugly.
It gets all distorted and you can't really make it out anymore.
Alternatively, we could enlarge the main mast's flag, but then it passes through a rope, which is also weird.
Any thoughts?
 
I have now fixed both yachts and all luggers (except LuggerVML) to show pennants properly, which looks much nicer.
I intend to continue work on this, because I'm fed-up with seeing ships that have pennant-shaped ensigns on all masts! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />

<!--sizeo:7--><span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><i><b>!!!HELP NEEDED!!!</b></i><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->
Some files I cannot open with the TOOL, but I know certain other people can.
In that case, I really DO need help from somebody else to fix up the pennants for these ships instead.
For now, I have ran into this problem for:
- LuggerVML
- Lineship5/DutchLineship5
- SloopBrig

I'll tackle them for you <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Here you go: View attachment Ensigns___Pennants.rar

NOTE: Weird affect with Lineship5 and copy the Lineship5 files to DutchLineship5 as well <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Lineship5's fine, as are the others. Thanks very much for your help!
I'm going through all files from ships_init.c and now all yachts, barques, luggers, galeoths, xebecs, sloops and schooners are good.
This includes reskins and any variations on those types of ships. Also the manowars and battleships are sorted.
I'm now onto the caravels.
 
Please find attached my current ships_init.c file; all ships that still have the NoPennants line still need to have their pennants fixed.
I'm working by ship type from the top down. If somebody else wants to help, it'd be a good idea to start from the bottom and work up. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
I'll give it a go Mr. Boelen <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

EDIT: 5 ships done <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
- AmericanHeavyWarship
- SpanishFrigate1
- PiratFastGal
- Pinnace11
- FastNavy

NOTE: FastNavy doesn't have any ENSIGNS
NOTE2: AmericanHeavyWarship has PENNANTS but if I remember correctly they are big
 
That's great! We'll be able to resize the flag locators for the FastNavy and AmericanHeavyWarship
to make the pennants the correct size on the AmericanHeavyWarship and enable an ensign on the FastNavy. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
The AmericanHeavyWarship we will also be able to apply to the HeavyWarship.
 
Find attached my latest ships_init.c file, which you can use to check which ships still need to be updated.
I'll be gone for one and a half day, so continue the work if you want. I'll continue as well once I get back.
I've tackled all fleut-based ships now too (apart from fleut5), as well as all regular pinnaces, but not yet WallerPinnace or WarPinnace.
The Warship11 has a pennant-problem again: one of the masts can show only an ensign and when I set a pennant, it doesn't show.
It's the same problem as with the FastCaravel. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
Take a look at this <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Bet that makes you happy <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Niiiiice! What'd you do? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

Changed some locator numbers for the penn so they were the same as flag on mast5. Some were different <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Brilliant; thanks a lot! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

BTW: Does anyone have <i>resource\textures\SHIPS\VENUSST.TGA.tx</i>? Yo Ho Ho? Seb? Somebody? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
I just got back tonight for a week at least so I just saw your PM, I'm glad you found it :)
