New character

Looking nice to me! Shame you lost some of your work though.

I promise I will make an update with your stuff in it soon. How soon, I do not know. Not before the weekend, that much is for certain. Unless I can find time tomorrow. I'll try. There's so much stuff I should put in that I just have to make an update soon. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> All Again Again,

Ok so I have rebuilt one of the outfits I did for 'Jill' I used Alan Smithee's Beatrice face texture as a base for the face and Akella's Danielle clothes texture to build my texture reference so I could add new clothes and of course the akella danielle model to apply the new textures to. Alan Smithee's oh so cute Beatrice face texture was cut out of his engl.tga.tx and modified to suit the danielle model aswell as the look I was going for, seeing as it was Alan's original texture however I can't really release Jill until I have his permission. I just PM'd him to ask but I thought I should post a public request as well to keep everything square.

And whilst we are on the subject I also decided to change Jill's hair colour to Auburn after noticing that she bore a startling resemblance to High Sea Lass' avatar as a brunette, having lost my original files in the crash I decided to cheat and borrow Petros' 50_Aine's beautiful recoloured hair as it is just the shade I wanted so I will also need the Ok from Petros, again have just PM'd him and again consider this public request to beg, borrow, steal etc.

The only other problem I am having is deciding which armour textures to use, the new new ones(second row in the below pic) are based off of real armour and were looking fabulous prior to crash and loss of files, since I rebuilt them though they have never looked as good to me as when I first made them (isn't that always the case <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> ) and now I'm thinking I might prefer the old new engraved ones I did for "Jack Sparrow - Reworked" what do you guys think, is it just me or do you guys prefer the engraved? maybe they just need a sash like on the quickie Catalina I did above.

Well here she is anyway, the first outfit of Jill... we'll call this one 'JUST JILL" <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

<a href="http://daede.i8.com/POTC/Taegan.html" target="_blank">http://daede.i8.com/POTC/Taegan.html</a>

That last one on the end is Jill sans vest, it's not really enough to be called a new outfit and the armour textures will be the same as the vest ones I just like it as an alternative for those particularly hot days on land or at sea.

The coming outfits will include a variation on the above to be a little less casual, akin to my Privateer Jack then I will start having a look at some other models to get the final two outfits; Pirate Jill and Officer Jill.

Cheers,
Daede.

P.S. I never intended to release the quickie Catalina in my previous post, but if you guys think she is good enough for release and the 'Real' Catalina doesn't mind, I will include her when I eventually upload Jill. I can also with practically no effort put her in any of the outfits I do for Jill but I wouldn't want to use the same colours, I want to keep Jill at least somewhat unique so if anyone has requests <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> on colour scheme or outfit or anything let me know and there is a good chance I'll do it.

P.P.S. I also kinda feel like I might be starting to come near stepping on some great toes here <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/guns.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2guns" border="0" alt="guns.gif" /> , what with Jill looking like High Sea Lass, Catalina's namesake used as the base of a model, as well as the use(assuming I get permission) of pieces of Petros' and Alan Smithee's Textures; so if you guys n gals, or anyone for that matter, wants to make use of these textures feel free (Anything I release is fairgame far as I am concerned, but do check with anyone else I may have credited first) and if you want the layered photoshop files I made just PM me wich ones your interested in and an address to send them and they are yours.

Hey Daede, feel free to use the face. I stole it from Liv Tyler anyway. You could probably make it look a little better than I did, too... I was never really satisfied with how bug-eyed she looks.
 
I am sure Cat will be thrilled when she sees what you have done - I say, release it, it sure looks good enough to me! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

As for borrowing material (faces, clothing et cetera) I have no problem with that <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> - as long as they are kept away from any brothel or such. please. <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" />

I often start out with using textures from the original models, then tweak them a little. <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" /> Then I usually end up editing it so much that it is nothing like the original anyway - but it is good with a base to work from (I am not the best when it comes to making realistic cloth, muscles and so on! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />).

Engraved or not... Depends. <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" /> Starting out, the less fancy, the more likely. Later on, well, that's another story, heh. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> All,

Sorry for the extended delay in finishing the gals for release, I ended up revisiting Baldur's Gate with a few friends... 2 weeks network gaming=1 week recovering, oh boy I must be getting old. Anyway I am calling the girl Taegan now, in honour of the one that got away in real life. She comes in four different flavours; Bucaneer Taegan, young and fiesty; Privateer Taegan, a little more respectable and a little wealthier; Officer Taegan, the disciplinarian; and finally Lady Taegan, the well to do aristocrat.

I will be uploading to FTP as soon as I get the OK from Petros for using the 50_Becka.gm model file on Officer Taegan. From there I expect Pieter will add to his next Build update or if you can't wait grab her from the FTP yourself and follow the read me for install instructions.

Cheers,
Daede.

P.S.
Screenies are at my site url below, couldn't fit them in the post sorry.

Very nice! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
I'll add it into a modpack update, yes. Don't know when. I'll try make it as soon as possible.
 
Wow, thats really nice! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_praise.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="icon_praise.gif" />

Looking forward to see it in modpack. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />
 
Nice work there, matey. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Yeah, I too am looking forward to seeing them in the next up update.

You have my OK.
She looks fine!
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Folks,

Thanks for all the positive comments, and thanks Petros for permission (and for putting an exclamation point after Fine).

Taegan is now available at the ftp...

<a href="ftp://ftp.piratesahoy.net/Daede_-_Taegan_N_Cat_-_v1-0.ace" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.piratesahoy.net/Daede_-_Taegan_N_Cat_-_v1-0.ace</a>
user: files@piratesahoy.net
pass: piratesahoy

follow the read me for install instructions, should work with any incarnation of POTC but I have only tested Build 12 with and without Updates.

Also available is my Jack Sparrow reworked at the same location...

<a href="ftp://ftp.piratesahoy.net/Daede_-_Jack_Sparrow_-_Reworked_-_v1-1.ace" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.piratesahoy.net/Daede_-_Jack_Sp...rked_-_v1-1.ace</a>

Jack is also included in Pieters latest Build update which appears to be well compiled and relatively bug free when applied to a NEW install of POTC/Build 12.1 (I say appears because I have only playtested a few hours and I say NEW install because I had a whole slew of weird problems when I patched over the October Build Update[of course those problems were no doubt caused by my messing with the game files and nothing to do with Pieters modpack])

Taegan will, thanks to Pieter, be included with the next Build update when Pieter gets the time to put it together. But there should be no problems installing her now if you can't wait.

Enjoy,
Daede.

P.S.
I am definately going to take a break now and start playing the game but if anybody has any special requests I would be happy to hear from you.

P.P.S.
Another big THANKYOU to Pieter for all his Updates, Comments and Humility; there is no emoticon big enough to express my appreciation.
 
I know I promised I would take a break but... <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" />

after playing the game yesterday I felt my officers were sadly laking in appearance so I thought I would have a little fun with the researcher skin.

A couple of hours later and we have a Carpenter, Doctor, Gunner and Purser(the last guy is just the original researcher for comparison purposes).

[attachment=261:attachment]

These were just quickie's for a laugh, so no armour variations etc. But if you guys think you might make use of them I will upload to the FTP on request.

Aaanywaaaaay, I am really done now, for certain this time, well unless I do get some requests that I find interesting, or I get overly tired and silly again. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

Cheers,
Daede.

P.S. I had to go through a couple of my previous posts and remove the attatched images as we were almost out of space at this thread. Is it possible to have the space assigned for this particular thread enlarged as it is primarily for showing off new characters which means piccies. It's no biggie but I thought I may aswell ask just incase.
 
WOW! Very nice ones too. Please release! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
Excellent work. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Ok I have uploaded to the FTP...

<a href="ftp://ftp.piratesahoy.net/Daede_-_Fun_With_Reasearcher_-_v1-0.ace" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.piratesahoy.net/Daede_-_Fun_Wit...cher_-_v1-0.ace</a>

Thanks for the comments Blackspot, Meiger and Pieter.

Enjoy.

Cheers,
Daede.

EDIT: I screwed up a line in the 9R_initModels.txt file the last paragraph third line should read

model.id = "9R_Purs_a_";

I had put a - when I should have _ sorry have reuploaded zip with corrected file but if you have allready downloaded you can edit the file yourself when you copy the initModels lines.
 
Hey Daede,

Great work there matey. Keep it up <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Just wondering if you could do a doctor/surgeon along the lines of maybe the short haired officer... you know the one who's just back from fighting rebels... long black coat for pirates or maybe plain blue ( no trimming) for a naval officer? I'm thinking a kind of Stephen Maturin...

Cheers <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" />
 
Cheers <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" /> Jack,

I was just a bub when I read the O'Brian books so I might be way off but I remember Stephen as more naturalist (Thats student of the natural world, not someone who runs around sans clothing) than surgeon, I know he was a doctor and did perform some pretty hairy surgery at times but I can't really see him in a white frock. How about something like this...

[attachment=263:attachment]

Is that kind of what your thinking/wanting? If not feel free to get specific about any changes you would like, I will be happy to oblige if I can.

Cheers,
Daede.

Hey, that's excellent, mate. I like indeed. Very much the naturalist look.

Can we have him as is, plus a version with a plain black coat (pirate doctor) and one with a plain navy blue coat (naval doctor), too, with suitable variation in breaches and waist coat?

Many thanks and keep up the great work. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

WOW! Looks very nice as well. The coat is beautifully done! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
