Presenting to Pieter...The Amsterdam (in progress)

You are quite right about that. The hull is indeed painted brown. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
maybe you should try a little bit darker brown. i think it would look better. i've been on the ship once and the brown was a bit darker than you have now.

PS: COULD SOMEONE PLEASE make a seperate steeringwheel model, (i know i have been asking for it too much times that it becomes annoying) but i would really appreciate it. And i think more people would.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Okay, okay! Give me the time to do it, ok? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->is the top of the ship based on a corvette? it looks like it. the stern looks amazing! i don't like the yellow on the bow though, it looks a bit to bright. <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
If it looks too bright to us, it means it looks exactly the way it should look like. Treat it like an advertisement of its era - it had to be bright to catch the potential customer's eye. And as far as I'm concerned, nothing can beat a guy with the dead chicken in the advertisement area <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
The question in my mind is if this ship will be available for Pieter to sail before he goes to sea for real? It would be a nice way to 'send him off' on his new adventure methinks <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

And the thought of him 'pineing' to get back to dry land to test out his beloved 'Amsterdam' is a sad thought. If there is anything i can do to help(yeah i know - i'm not sure what either? but there might be something?) please ask - what exactly needs doing to finish this ship off as soon as possible?
 
LOL. You've got two months still. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Wheel01.zip doesn't open.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Try opening it with WinRAR.
 
And meanwhile, for the next two months, Pieter still has the Dutch Fleut.
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> BlackBart,
The only thing that needs to be done on the Amsterdam is a few small texture mapping changes. Once those are done, I will put the ship in game to see how it looks. If any small skinning changes need done, I can finish them in a couple of hours and post the final product.

The texture mapping changes that need to be done:

Top of hull walls are mapped incorrectly
Boards where rigging meets need to be remapped

I think those are the only two things. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
I've uploaded re-mapped and slightly re-textured <i>Amsterdam</i> to the FTP (<i>Kazeite/Amsterdam</i>) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Excellent! I will work on it this evening and hopefully have a finished product up tonight along with a pic in-game. Pieter, if there is any additional work you can see that you would like done on it, let me know and I would be happy to accomodate. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />

Yes, I do. And I'm really quite very happy with that! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

Full interior? Just kidding, of course. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
Here is the final ship. I am having a problem getting the correct ship to show up in the bottom corner as well as the large ship icon when trying to buy the ship at the shipyard. Perhaps someone can advise me on how to do that. Otherwise, I will just poke around until I figure it out. I added a little more wood texture. Let me know what you think. Once again, thanks to Kazeite for doing all the stuff on here that I didn't know how to do! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Never mind all, I found out what I did wrong on the icons. Anyway, here is another shot with the Dutch flag this time. I used the settings off of the West Indiaman for the init file, so thanks to Cap Hawk for that. I will be posting it to the FTP for all to enjoy momentarily.

<img src="http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c241/aloych/Daniel/finalamst2.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
 
WOW! She looks pretty darn amazing! Exactly like the real one as far as I can judge from the screenshots. I never expected to see the day! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

BTW: I find it q bit oddish to see the frigate icon in the lower left corner of the screen. The "Amsterdam" wasn't really a frigate. More like a Galleon. A "Spiegelretourschip", actually. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
that's funny, the hull looks a bit red in-game. anyway, it looks great out at sea! but, is the bowsprit sticking through the lions head? it looks likt if you view it from the side.

I used the settings from the ship done by Cap Hawk, it can easily be changed in the ships_init file to whatever icon you would like to use. Maybe if you add it to Build 13.1, you can change that to a more appropriate icon. Currently it uses "Corvette1" because the ship model was based off of the Corvette.
 
Damn!!! Fine job you and Kazeite did on her, Doober. Kudos to you both for all your work and dedication. I can't wait to grab this one so I can put in Pieter and his beloved Amsterdam.
