Released Kriswood's La Dilligente tartane

Well, I will make one more attempt and then just post what I end up with. This is an interesting ship that would make a nice addition to the fleet.
 
The Dilligente Tartane is on the FTP in my folder. It works fine in POTC except for a few minor problems. It has a huge bow wave, no crew, and the cannons do not work. I set it up as an armed tartane but it is not.
 
The cannons don't work??? :shock

Edit: I just checked her in the GM Viewer and... she doesn't have any cannon locators! No wonder the guns don't work! :facepalm
 
Buenos dias, all! Want to say "thanks" to all of you, for your beautifull models.

She have gun's locators, seek it at tartane1_guns.gm.

Sorry for my poor english, it's not my native language.

P.S. "Сухопутная крыса", something like that I expected :urgh
 
Turns out that while the v1.00 version DOES have some locators in the _guns.gm file, the v1.01 version has no locators there at all.
 
I just dl'ed V1 from Rider88s folder on the FTP. I hope this works because I have never made cannon locators and am not sure what is required. :8q


EDIT: The V1 guns do have locators. But copying them to the V1.01 guns won't work because of the "model could not be read" bug. Perhaps I could move them to the main GM. :nerbz
 
Whew! My aching eyes...........All of those tiny numbers are a bummer :j1 But the cannons now fire! I don't know what size they should be. The documentation calls for 12 pounders, but I settled on 9 pounders for now. I also increased the cargo capacity because she is so big.

I got caught in a storm and she handled it easily. I also noticed that the yards have the reverse lighting bug.

La Diligante is on the FTP in my "after patch 7" folder.
 
Thanks a lot! I'll put her in my game tomorrow. :dance

She, and the Raa frigate if finished, will need the Ship Screenshots mod to be updated once more before Beta 2 though... :wp
 
Is it just me or is this boat really very distinctly French with her stern decoration. Means we've got to use her as a nation-specific boat and not a generic one.
 
I've got her working in my game and the crew works too even! :dance
Because she has to be specifically French, I didn't see the point of having three of them. So I chose this one and named her FR_Dilligente:

Armada, can you use the above screenshot for the Ship Interface Screenshots mod? Thanks a lot! :woot

I suppose so. I'll need to add some more images for the repainted Bellona and Superbe anyway, so I'll add this one too. :onya
 
Cheers. Do you intend to have those repainted ships included in Beta 2?

At the moment, I'm compiling the first version of Beta 2 Full as a start to making an installer that works right.
 
Ideally, yes. I've already done all the HEX editing, and organised some of the textures used between Pgargon's ships.
I just need to sort out the interface screenshots and upload it all, along with the modified deck textures you asked me to do. ;)
Could you sort out the ships_init entries for them, once they're uploaded? Saves me uploading my version and you having to merge it with yours.

EDIT: actually, I'll need to do the entries to test the ships in the first place... brain not working today. xD:
 
Don't worry about the merging; I can sort that out, as long as you don't make any additional changes outside those entries. :doff
 
Beats me, actually. I ended up renaming the walk file you did to Dilligente_walk and after making all required adjustments, it just worked. :shrug
 
I looked again with fresh eyes and I see what happened. The first walk file was corrupted and would not work. So I made a new one with a different name and then forgot to update all of the walk files. :facepalm
 
Hello guys!

There is a bug with a tartane1_guns.gm from the 1.01 version. I don't know why but it became corrupted somehow. I can't even open it in TOOL and gm-viewer does not show any locators. It is strange because my 1.01 version of tartane works just fine. So I've uploaded a 1.02 version with 100% correct guns file (see the first post) and here is a separate fixed tartane1_guns.gm file.

As for scaling, everything is OK there. Tartane is a type of a vessel with two masts and lateen rigging, no metter what size and displacement she is. So this is just a BIG tartane and she is scaled right (I've used a COAS avatar character and several COAS ships for that purpose). Here is a screen from PotBS. You can compare the size of a crew to a size of a vessel and see that it is the same as in COAS:

Thanks a lot for confirming, mate! :doff

We managed to get the cannons of La Dilligente working in PotC by using the locator file from the 1.00 release.

Her French fleur-de-lis stern decoration causes her to be limited to France only in the game.
