This tutorial explains all locator types, their purposes and naming conventions, which can be used when adding new ships or modifying existing ones.
It covers content relevant to both PotC and the AoP series.

It also covers how to edit locators in Excel, which is an extremely useful alternative to TOOL.

No problem. I hope it's good enough to help you make some progress with porting your ships. :cheers
 
Just had a quick look and it looks absolutely excellent; thanks a lot for doing this! :bow
 
Again, no problem. :onya A tutorial covering locators was LONG overdue anyway, so I'm just glad we've got one now.
 
You saved me some grief with this tutorial. I finally got back to work on the Centurion and found out I had the cannon locators pointing in all of the wrong directions. :facepalm
 
Well I'm glad I could help, then. :doff I knew cannon locators would be a pretty important aspect to cover.
 
I've just uploaded a revised version with some important changes. See first post for details.
 
I think so, yes, but I'm not sure it's been proven before.
 
The sails have never been split between masts that I know of. I can't recall trying it myself.
 
I've now updated this tutorial with the changes outlined in the first post. This is mostly to bring it in line with the new Maya tutorial, which is easier to read and includes a contents page.
