Pirates of the Caribbean: Patriots and Emperors

Er staat hier een tutorial op piratesahoy van ene gushy, je kunt het heel gemakkelijk daar door leren, de rest heb ik zelf een bietje uitgevogeld. Ik gebruik de tx-tga converter om de skin om te zetten naar een bruikbare, en dan skin ik hem met adobe photoshop 6.0 maar ik raad aan om een hogere te gebruiken. Bedankt voor het compliment trouwens <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Now i speak in english again, i hope you had something about/of? it.
 
I have 3 American soldiers ready, but i can only get them ingame through overwrite the orginal skin, so in this case deringers work. I will put them in the american soldier folder, but can you get them work under a different texture name CJPJ?
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> everyone, I've been always a fan to POTC and all the mods included. I saw this forum and wanted to ask if there is any way i can help with skinning off soldiers or ships or something. I have the paint shop pro X trial so plz can I help? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> mateysss
 
I did it with the hex converter thanks to Pieter, now i am putting them on the FTP in de folder Thomas the Terror skinning and there is the file american soldiers 1,12mb. The files are in it but they don`t have portraits.
 
Important note: The head model file must have the same name as the character model file, but with h_ added to the front.

h_Soldier_USA.gm
Sold_USA77.tga.tx
Soldier_USA.gm

Also important: The tga.tx file's filename must have the same number as characters as the original skin's texture filename.
 
They are named:
h_Sol_Am1.gm
h_Sol_Am2.gm
h_Sol_Am3.gm

Sol_Am1.gm
Sol_Am2.gm
Sol_Am3.gm

Sol_Am1_TT.tga.tx
Sol_Am2_TT.tga.tx
Sol_Am3_TT.tga.tx

Now i am planning to skin the White waller frigate into the Black Pearl or make a new texture on the Redmond square to make it look more Yankee-ishes :p
 
Well, for the P&E mod, I was thinking of converting Greenford to the Americans.
How do you change a town's nationality? I can shange skins, but the fort would still fly English colors.
 
Check the file PROGRAM\Towntable:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->    //attr = "t"+q;
    makeref(ctown, Towns[q]);
    ctown.id = "Greenford";
    ctown.island = "Oxbay";
    ctown.position.x = 343.052856;
    ctown.position.z = 737.840000;
    ctown.monsterprob = 0.5;
    if(first) ctown.captured = false;
    if(first) ctown.size = 500;
    ctown.gold = sti(ctown.size) * TOWN_GOLD_SCALAR;
    ctown.nation = ENGLAND;
    ctown.store = GREENFORD_STORE;
    ctown.forts.Quantity = 1;
    ctown.forts."0".fortchar = "Greenford Commander";
    ctown.troops = sti(ctown.size) * 2 / 5;
    ctown.crew.quantity = sti(ctown.size)/8 + rand(sti(ctown.size)/4);
    ctown.crew.morale = MORALE_NORMAL - 20 + Rand(40);
    ctown.crew.data.year = GetDataYear();
    ctown.crew.data.month = GetDataMonth();
    ctown.crew.data.day = GetDataDay();
    ctown.laigroup = "ENGLAND_";
    q++;<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

See the line ctown.nation = ENGLAND; . <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
And what do you think about my soldiers, are they usefull? And I like to change greenford, but how does a colonial town of the Yanks look?
 
Ok... something weird is happening. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":|" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" />

First of all, the American flag disappeared! When I raise nuteral colors, the Dutch flag is there. I put a new copy from the flag pack in the folder to replace it, and nothing changed.

Second of all, the American soldiers are British. It looks like you made a copy of Derringer's redcoats and renamed them.

I don't understand this. :p
 
what? In my game they work just fine. Can you try to make a screenshot of them in the gm viewer?

Can you search with the hex editor wich tga file they use?

found the problem. they gm files in the soldier pack still uses Sol5_eng77.tga.tx, in my POTC folder the gm files use the correct ones


I am putting the good gm files on the Ftp now under the name of American Soldiers TT.
 
Anything for me to do at the moment, another loading screen, another ship, or Thomas do you want a team signature?

And you have kind of ignored Mad Jack the Pirate by the way, and my other posts.
 
sorry for that, I would love to have a team signature. And how Mad Jack could help I don`t know, he should ask CJPJ. But i think he would be pleased with some american ships.
 
Whoops... didn't see Mad Jack there! Sorry mate! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" />
Seb' is currently making some more ships, French I think. You want to do some American ships, Jack? Check out page on for details. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I can't wait for v1! This is going to look cool mates! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
 
I've made a french frigate that i think she is not bad today, i will post some screens tomorrow, with it's red and black colors i'm thinking about calling it 'Acheron' <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

That flag problem is still bugging me. Can't figure it out. And when I changed Greeford from ENGLAND to NUTERAL, I got one of theos Visual C++ errors and the game crashed. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":|" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" /> So I still have it on ENGLAND for now.
