Hi All + Pieter
Pieter asked How to make large flags I did not now then, now i do. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
First you need Inez Dias TOOL. You can download it from this site .
In TOOL press "open gm" go to resource/models/ships/Xebec1/. Open xebec1_mast3.gm
Like this picture
<img src="http://www.thelib.com/gallery/albums/userpics/TOOL.JPG" border="0" class="linked-image" />

f4/f3 Position Y = bottom of flag locators. low number = flag grows down. large number =flag narrow.
f2/f1 Position Y = top of flag locators. low number = flag narrow ,large number = flag grows up.
f3/f2 PositionZ = how long flag, change 2,9 to 10 = wery long flag. Decimal point is "," . NOT "." .

After work press "Apply Changes" . In main window press "files" save gm.
It is saved like :xebec1_mast3_x.gm, now rename original , and rename saved gm as orginal, start potc and test. That is all, now Pieter start changing flags.

Here is example Schooner rigged Xebec you can get it from ftp.(without modified flags).
On ftp folder "xebec1" . Please rename original "xebec1" folder in your game before using ftp one.
Please read readme in folder.

Hmm, all I'm getting is a Notepad file called TOOL. I got the Microsoft/win/ file window maker whatever it is, still nothing. Getting restless over here. A question, can you reskin ship models with this TOOL?
 
Hi Commodore John Paul Jones <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
Please read first pinned tread in "potc modding". And You can get TOOL.rar in Pirates Ahoy home page
Under "files.. modding tools ". Look for Inez Dias name. In pinned tread there is also link. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
Now about different flags: Havin two different flags in same time NationFlag and personal one.
I have no idea. Is it possible with game engine?? I do not know. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
Well if it is possible it woud be a nice thing for sure. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
Hope this helps CapHawk <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" />
About AOP maybe better ask greyangel. Ithink he knows if it is possible??.
EXTRA EDIT : Extra pic, Nice flags but in need of new skin. I am NOT a ship skin/texture expert.

Thanks, Captain Hawk. I'd like to have large flags on all vessels, or at least on all naval vessels. Unfortunately, am already quite busy managing the Post Build 12 files. So if anyone wants to do some nice modding work, please add some large flags to the ships! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

About reskinning ships: You first need to change the texture files. To do this, you must convert the .tga.tx file to .tga with the TX Converter program. Then you can change the texture and convert it back. However, this will overwrite the old texture. So you'll need to change the texture file name in a copy of the original model. This can be done by opening the appropriate GM file with a so-called HEX editor. Please note that the new filename MUST have the same number of characters as the old filename!
 
Well.. Nice to see that our friend JP Jones started a little fire here..

I don't know anything about modding, so I would be very grateful if someone could make proper flags to all the ships in the game ..

Then we could finally get a more authentic look in our games!

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" />
I have now "galeoth1" = My new smuggler and "xebec1" = Pirate Schooner rigged xebec on ftp.
They need skins and import to potc. I know only how to make rigging to ships with Inez Dias TOOL.
Bye CapHawk <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
 
i'd be a very happy man if all the old and good modders would come back. you for example petros, you made loads of excellent skins, ships and otherwise. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Yes! All you modders come back please! It seems that either I or CCC is now the most knowledgeable modder around. I vote for CCC. If it's me, that's really sad. I am no great modder. I am having a truly hard time getting the Post Build 12 mods to work right. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
