I'll finish all of "50_Boss1.gm" files this week.

Petros · Jul 14, 2005

Oh, almost forgot ... even though he is somewhat of a joke, I thought I would upload "50FatJack" to the ftp.

Perhaps he could be used as another poor citizen or even the town drunk!

Report from me testing character models:
- All female models, except the skirted ones, seem to be able to sit quite fine. Great job to everyone helping to acchieve that, and especially to Inez Dias!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :onya

" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
Now I reckon they should be encounterable as tavern-hired officers just like the regular male officers. <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" />
- Offic_eng hasn't got a proper 256 character portrait, but re-uses the 128 one.
- Bmunk doesn't have a head GM file.
- 50evil2in's head isn't displayed when talked to. This is because the h_50evl2inr.ani file shouldn't have the extra "r" in the end. If the file is renamed "h_50evl2in.ani", it works fine. Will be fixed in my next modpack.
- Fanielle hasn't got her own head as head GM file. I recall High Sea Lass managing to make the right had file for her, so I hope that will be released soon.
- Some female models look slightly small. This includes Grlpatch and Claire.
- Regular skeletons, mummies and natives don't have any head GM files, nor character portraits. I can understand they're not really needed, but I would like to see at least proper portraits, because the portraits are being shown in the new corpses mod.
- Beatrice, Ladyinred, Fanielle, Nobleman and Nobleman2 are missing some weapon locators. Hope these can be added soon.
- Corsair4, Corsair5, hub_spa2, hub_spa3, hub_spa4, huber_por2, huber_spa5, nobleman2 and pirat13 all lack character portraits. They are currently set to their original model's character portraits, but it would be very nice if thet had proper portraits of their own.
- Ronald is HUGE! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :shock

" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
- You can change a character model and now also character name, but the sound type remains the same. So you can change a male officer in an officer having a female name and look, but a male voice. AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Can the character's voice <i>please</i> be made model-dependent?

There are several ugly character portraits, strange distortions going on with the animation (especially on skirted ladies) and some of the head-switched characters don't have their heads properly attached, but the bugs mentioned in my above list (and please note: Not all of my observations are actual bugs; some are just things I noticed) are, I think, the most annoying ones and I hope they can be sorted out on short term.

I know I'm forgetting to mention some things at the moment, but I can't remember them, so this is where I'll stop for now. Hope this report can help to get these things fixed. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :rolleyes:

Thanks!
I uploaded the fix to the ftp.

As for Claire, Nathan did express what sounded like approval when it was first proposed but still pending some way of getting her to sit.

Inez, you and I all want it as well.

With "man_woman_sit.an" file referenced in the 50_33_40Claire section of initModels.c, the animation should work fine.

Pieter Boelen · Jul 15, 2005

I will soon do a test, to see what happens if you just replace Clair with Claire in the character_init files. I reckon it should work. But maybe the dialog would need to be slightly changed, because he'd now be a she. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :cheeky

They are. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Skeletons and mummies (and the native reskin) have no head model period. So we're out of luck there. Portraits can be done though.

<i>- You can change a character model and now also character name, but the sound type remains the same. So you can change a male officer in an officer having a female name and look, but a male voice. AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Can the character's voice please be made model-dependent?</i>
Darnit, meant to fix that. Sorry.

Re: Claire.

(Thought it was still 'up in the air')

Just do a global search on program\ for 'clair' to and that should find both dialog and other references.
Ah:
We need to fix \rumour_data.c, dialog\zaid murro, and dialog\clair (if any).
Leave Claire's ID as 'Clair Larrouse' though! Just change the ch.name.

Seems like in the most recent version you sent me, the character voice is changed. Only I set the "India" skin to an officer and talked to her: The first time she didn't say anything (dialog qorked fine though), the second time she did have a female voice, but not the voice I would've associated with her. Have you got any idea how I can change the voice into, say, Danielle's voice?

I know <b>I</b> would like to have him switched for her. Not sure about other people. I tried to do it myself, but, like I already said, she isn't sitting all too well. Actually: it looks horrible.
