Portrait in Lucia's residence

[Grey Roger]

Bartolomeu has gone to visit Lucia Montavez in her residence, and while she's in her bedroom doing whatever she's doing in there, Bartolomeu looks at the painting on her wall:


I thought I recognised the subject of that painting, and a bit of Google Image searching confirms it:
ermine portrait | Picture This UK

That's Queen Elizabeth I.

@Bartolomeu o Portugues: have you any suggestions for a more appropriate portrait, or other picture, to appear in the home of a daughter of a Spanish governor?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Is that a custom location?

 

[Grey Roger]

It's defined in "PROGRAM\Locations\init\Colombia.c" as "Governor_Daughter_House", and should probably have its reload disabled so that anyone wandering round Cartagena Palace Square can't go in. Its proper use is during the "Cartagena Firework" chapter of the "Bartolomeu" storyline.

I meant more about the location model...

Yes, locations\Inside\Residence3_red is a retextured residence3 for WoodesRogers. I would appreciate if that portrait
could remain as it is.

 

[Grey Roger]

The location model is a customised version of "Residence3" called "Residence3_red" and uses texture file "Residence_3_insRED.tga.tx". The same model appears to be used for "Suarez_House" in Cuba, which is another special location, this time for @Bartolomeu o Portugues' "Family Story".

Possible solution: if Queen Elizabeth I's portrait must appear in Caroline K's room, then I could create a new version with a different portrait for use in the two Spanish locations?

Of course, maybe you should take a look on the other walls too. There you'll find an illustration
from Treasure Island, a picture of Potala palace Lhasa and an old black/white photo of my house. Not so spanish stuff.


If you're going to retexture the paintings, why not take the chance and change the wall colors from pink as well.
Then we'll have a complete new location.

Haha! Easter Eggs for the win!

The other pictures may not be specifically Spanish but might not look out of place on the walls of a well-educated Spanish lady. A portrait of one of her country's worst enemies, on the other hand, is not going to please any Spanish guests, especially the admiral who is her neighbour!

I have no objection. (I already did something similar for the governor's residence in Santiago, which is why you'll find a picture of King Carlos II of Spain there.)

@Bartolomeu o Portugues: any suggestions for pictures, as well as colours for wall, curtains, carpet? "Governor_Daughter_House" and "Suarez_House" are for your quests, so you get to pick the decorations.

Well, I have no idea. Very funny to see this painting in a Spanish house
Feel free to change whatever you want

I've yet to try putting this into place in Cartagena or Havana, but here are some preliminary pictures from GM Viewer.
Overview of the new room showing the new wall and floor, and a close-up of the Persian rug:


There's now a portrait by Diego Velazquez of King Philip IV, who was on the throne at the time of the "Bartolomeu" storyline, 1660:


In the far corner of the room are a picture of the Buen Retiro palace and another painting by Diego Velazquez, "The Fable of Arachne":


Above the cabinet is a painting of the Flying Dutchman - not the Disney version.


And over the door is a picture of the Alhambra Palace:


Incidentally, I'd hoped to replace the brass vase with a Ming vase. It turns out that the vase texture is also used for the door handles, which I might have tolerated, giving the new room porcelain handles instead of metal. But it is also used for part of the candle holders, and that really didn't look right. So it's back to the original brass vase.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

That's really good @Grey Roger
I like much.

 

[Grey Roger]

Redecoration of Lucia Montavez's room is now complete and visitors are welcome:


I haven't tried visiting the Suarez house yet but the "models" lines for "Suarez_House" are the same as those for "Governor_Daughter_House" so it should look just the same. The zip file should contain everything needed - model files, texture file, replacement "Cuba.c" and "Colombia.c" location files to use the new interior.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Beautiful!
Thanks @Grey Roger
