New or Improved ships ...

[Petros]

While experiencing down time, I got the idea to start work on another ship. There is only one paint scheme for the Light Frigate so I started on it and finished it a few days ago. No new ship stats yet, just the paint job.

 

[Thomas the Terror]

Great job Petros! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

 

[Meigger]

Very nice Petros. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Very Nice!

Wow beautiful Petros! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Can't wait to pillage and plunder in that one! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Also, could I make a Corvette skin request? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" /> If you have the time, of course. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I would like a skin that is mainly black, with cream gunports and cream trim here and there, and a bit of dark red too, with a skull and crossbones at the aft? That would be awesome! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

I like the idea (can almost see it) and it is now on my "to do" list. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

I have to wrap up the Lt. Frigate and the Rheims character, <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" /> and I already started working on another female officer, <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> plus I'm still bug testing Pieter's Post B12! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

I will get to it however, as I can see where such a ship could be used in game as the English Pirate's ship, off of FdF, or Shaggy Gary's ship in the Nigel quest! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />

Aaarrgh... she be a beauty, mate. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.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" />
She is up on ftp as "Light Frigate 2.zip"

I left everything else the same so she has the same sailing characteristics as the Light Frigate. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />

Great idea Petros ter add ship tew Nigel quest,one O me favorite quests <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

 

[Pieter Boelen]

If some character's ship needs replacing, please tell me what character should use what ship.

Great job Petros. I tested her out and she is a beauty. She's now also in the post Build 12 modpack. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

If I could only figure out how?

I'm trying to change the shiptype Ethilrede Claar, AKA Shuggy Garry, uses so I can see what changes work ... but I can't! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Made changes first in "TempQuestCharacters.c" but now, do I have to start a new game and play all the way up the Nigel quest again?

It's not that easy as you have to go all the way through the Oxbay liberation first so it's not like you can just use POTCModHelper to start in a different location.
And will everyone else be forced to start a new game as well?

Then I thought about adding to the "Reinit.c" but (I really don't now what I'm doing) I'm not getting that to give Shuggy a different ship, before he is encountered, on re-initialization, either! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

I'm trying to do this so only Shuggy gets this ship.
Are my ship stats wrong?

Check below code from the Redmond character ini file. That should show you how to change a character's ship model:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->makeref(ch,Characters[n]);  //Robert Christopher Silehard - ãóáåðíàòîð
ch.name  = "Robert";
ch.middlename = "Christopher";
ch.lastname = "Silehard";
...
ch.skill.Commerce = "10";
ch.skill.Sneak = "0";
Interesting part -->
ch.Ship.Name = "Belette";
ch.Ship.Type = "Manowar_gub"; // PRS3, 05-05-10 change from 1 to gub
ch.Ship.Stopped = true; [What does this line do anyway?]
// KNB ch.Ship.Cannons.Type = CANNON_TYPE_CULVERINE_LBS24;
ch.money = "100000";
<-- Interesting part
LAi_SetHuberStayType(ch);
...<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
Then I reckon you can add something like this to the reinit file to make the change take effect in an already started game:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->ch = CharacterFromID("Robert Christopher Silehard"); // Cat AQ improvements
ch.Ship.Name = "Belette";
ch.Ship.Type = "Manowar_gub"; // PRS3, 05-05-10 change from 1 to gub
ch.Ship.Stopped = true; [What does this line do anyway?]
// KNB ch.Ship.Cannons.Type = CANNON_TYPE_CULVERINE_LBS24;
ch.money = "100000";<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

I hope this helps you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

This is what I had done:
in Tempquestcharacters.c:
ref ch;

makeref(ch,Characters[n]); // Ethilrede Claar - ïèðàò, êîòîðûé ïðîäàë â ðàáñòâî îäíîãî èç íàøèõ îôèöåðîâ () Leborio Drago

ch.sex = "man";
ch.sound_type = "pirate";
ch.Ship.AI.GroupName = "Ethilrede Claar";
ch.Ship.AI.Task = "attack";
ch.nation = PIRATE;
GiveItem2Character(ch, BLADE_SABER);
ch.equip.blade = BLADE_SABER;
ch.nodisarm = 1; // PB: Disable disarming
ch.location = "none";
ch.location.group = "Quest_ships";
ch.location.locator = "quest_ship_11";
ch.Dialog.Filename = "Gyles Dubois_dialog.c";
ch.Ship.Name = "Neptunus";
ch.Ship.Type = "Corvette6_50"; // was Corvette1 // PRS3
ch.Ship.Stopped = true;
// KNB ch.Ship.Cannons.Type = CANNON_TYPE_CANNON_LBS24;
ch.rank = 1;
ch.reputation = "22";
ch.experience = "0";
ch.skill.Leadership = "1";
ch.skill.Fencing = "4";
ch.skill.Sailing = "5";
ch.skill.Accuracy = "4";
ch.skill.Cannons = "6";
ch.skill.Grappling = "1";
ch.skill.Repair = "1";
ch.skill.Defence = "2";
ch.skill.Commerce = "1";
ch.skill.Sneak = "1";
ch.money = "10";
LAi_SetMerchantType(ch);
LAi_SetLoginTime(ch, 0.0, 24.0);
LAi_SetHP(ch, 80.0, 80.0);
LAi_NoRebirthEnable(ch);
ch.greeting = "Gr_Gyles Dubois";
n = n + 1;

in Reinit.c:
ch = CharacterFromID("Ethilrede Claar"); // aka shuggy garry
ch.Ship.Type = "Corvette6_50"; // was corvette1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is what is not working.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

You are using this on a not newly started game, right? You did reinit though, didn't you?
Maybe the "ch.Ship.Stopped = true;" line need to be in reinit.c too?

If all that isn't working, I don't understand anymore. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />
Most of it looks quite good. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Then I really don't understand anymore. I thought that was the way to configure those things. Nathan set Silehard to have a new ship model. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

[alan_smithee]

I kind of thought that was just a new texture for the MoW model, for Silehard's ship.

(Not that this is a big contribution to the board but I feel like it's been weeks since I've poked my little mole's head above the surface of the earth.)

Actually I thought Sielhard was supposed to get the new model MOW "Manow50_gub", which is the MOW Gub but with not only a new paint job but different stats.
