New character

Much belated... I just uploaded 2 of my characters - The Towngirl 5 /Danielle mixture and then my own character, Blazie.

They are on the FTP server now. Sorry it took so long, life happened and then I try to make these zips behave, unlike the ones I sent off to Petro's at first... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />

I will do my best to get two more up this weekend - but don't hold you breath, please. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />


I will see what I can do with that armour, Cat. Never tried to move a part over quite that way, but I will soon find out if it works. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

While I am at it, would you mind if I tweaked the face but a wee bit to make it look more like the picture of her (such as slightly less elongated) - or are you happy with it as it is?


As for the other model, well, I won't say anything other than I will give it some thought... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" /> After all, he may still return and are probably a far better modeller than I am... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
See, now, I didn't mean for you to do any work like this. It's not important, really, not necessary... I'm fine with her as she is...

I was kinda thinking of putting her into the game tho, as a duelist - someone who comes after you when you least expect it, witty dialog while dueling, &tc... I dunno. That's far in the future... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

And really, as I said, it's not important... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />
 
Silly, I do this because I want to... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" /> So there, heheh!

Don't worry, playing about with modelling is just fun for me. But we will see when and what comes of it...

Aye, Lass, and I say we are all glad you are here, especially me!

I be hav'n time to skin that ... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> No, that don't sound right ...

I be hav'n time to dress .... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> no that don't sound too proper either ...

I be hav'n time to play with ... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> OH no never mind!!

Let me say that you were right about re skinning mixed models.
The shaders applied by the game to separate parts that once were one, causes some problems under certain lighting situations, mostly bright daylight.

Anyway, here is what I did.

You keep playing with dressing up your ladies, you're good at it! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />

Nice! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> So, can I have it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> You could always send it to me, eh, eh? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />


Yes, until I can be bothered trying with merging and retexturing I fear the mixed models will suffer from a number of problems. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
I'll have to rename the tga files and send them to you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
Check how the back has the biggest problem.

I just might give her a bodice type leather vest to cover the back but only the abdomen in front.
 
Very nice on the lacy bits, Petros! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Got them, thanks. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Yup, I knew there were problems - darker colours therefore work better, I fear. And until (if ever) I can find a good "joint" or am able to retexture them and then rebind them, well, then this is the way it will be. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

And it is the angel of the face of the model that decides what light it catches, so there is nothing I can do unless I rather have faces poke out here and there - and that is far worse...

Sorry, I'm not a good enough modeller to fix these things. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" />
 
Trust me to mess up. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

I royally fouled the 33_Blazie.zip, so if you downloaded it before this post, please download it again... Sorry about that... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />

Thanks for the heads-up, Petros.

And again... Avast me, I'm hopeless. I should have put in the corrected file first. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" />

Fixed now, I hope, or someone please keelhaul me... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

The latest 33_Blazie.zip uploaded and hopefully working.
 
In my PotCMods.zip, if you turn the debug mode on in BuildSettings.h, you get all the skins in the game. Is Blazie in there and working? When I set the start-up skin to Blazie, it did work in that modpack. But I did have to manually convert the TGA file to TGA.TX, but that wasn't such a problem. <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" />
 
Nope, that is one messed up version, I fear... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Sorry.

The one that is up now is (should be?) correct, however. And tweaked a bit, with a tweaked texture as well.



<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> Argh. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
I've been enjoying watching you guys work together, and admiring all the work you've done, so much that I had to try my hand as well.

Alan Smithee was talking about setting up a ballroom a-la SMP Pirates!, and I thought I might try to make a female dancer for him. I'm still working on it, but here's Ginger Rogers;

<img src="http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/332ZK34H/511419.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
 
Ginger looks really good Sir Mings. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> Oh, that makes me want to watch Top Hat! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Congratulations, Sir Christopher! She's beautiful! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
For an added bit of fun, if you want, Chris, the ball is supposed to be a masked ball, one of those whatchamacallits... a charade or something.
 
Oh cool! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> I'll have to see if I can get a mask on her for your masquerade ball.

For her partner, Fred, I was thinking of trying to make an officer's jacket, the kind with all the intricate braiding on it, I'll have to try to find a picture to show what I mean.

Ok, here's what I'm talking about;

Maybe a little Michael Jackson-ish, and not exactly period, but... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

I wonder if I could actually use these pictures to help make the changes, hmmm.... warm up the smiley. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />


@ Lady Cat below, I don't know, she can rustle her bustle a bit at this point...
 
Kinda a shame you can't animate the gowns to do a frilly little flip during the dancing... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
How were the original animations for the characters made, anyhoo? Becuase if we could find that, we could put in these sort of things (cloak swish, female chars sitting, etc)
