And as you say, most likely not animated. But how would one want a female sitting at a table in a tavern to be animated? I find the armwaving head dipping drunken animation for the men to be a bit on the strange side in many ways. I mean, if you walk into a tavern and talk to someone and he says he's an officer, would you hire somebody who moves around like that to navigate your ship?!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

The ladies with the skirts would have to have the skirts smoothed down around their legs anyhow, you couldn't do that with an existing model, I don't think... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
If she has to be a static model, maybe she could be modded to have a mug in front of her, or a plate of food or something. I think the taverns are sadly lacking in that kind of thing, right now... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

No idea.) to <i>add </i>animation as well (unless we get us an über-hacker <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
