Screenshots thread

I have been pretty hard at work on the weather for the Maelstrom port and added procedural sea colors. It is starting to come together nicely

I think @Strannik makes very good progress here ;) I even think we may be close to releasing it as the new stable weather system for Maelstrom: New Horizons :)

SPOILER: @Strannik really did an absolute fantastic job with the new weather. It's just a little bit of polishing here and there and we will be ready to publish it!

That looks like a retexture of the Swedish East Indiaman. If so, would you be willing to upload the texture so I can include it in the next update?
 
Its actually 4 repaints. If you want, I can PM you the link to my google drive where I put all the ship models polished for Maelstrom in. All my new variants are there too
 
Poking through GoF, I found a couple of nice alternative textures for the pinnace of war, known to NH as "HeavyLineShip" and known to GoF as "Neptune".

The GoF version of the ship has better rigging including deadeyes at the base of the shrouds on the mainmast and foremast, as well as a couple of boats. So I upgraded the original "HeavyLineship" to the same standard.

Original version:

New version:
pinnacewar_new.jpg pinnacewar_new_close.jpg
 
That's some nice ones indeed!

@Pillat has been doing some more retextures of his own on the Buccaneer's Reef Discord too.
 
Discord is something that happens to other people. ;) But I've been in PM contact with @Pillat, who kindly supplied me a link to his ship files. If I have time, I'll have a look and maybe add some into NH in time for an end of year update and installer.
 
And here are some of @Pillat's ships:

Red version of the Swedish East Indiaman:
red_indiaman2.jpg red_indiaman_bow.jpg red_indiaman_stern.jpg

Dark blue version of the same:
blue_indiaman.jpg blue_indiaman_bow.jpg blue_indiaman_stern.jpg
I took the liberty of changing the stern detail from the normal white to yellow, making the ship a little more different from the original blue version. Due to the way the model is structured, that also changed the figurehead's robe from white to yellow.

Black battleship:
black_battleship2.jpg

Notice anything odd about the flags? Perhaps if we look at the flag code in "Ships_init.c":
Code:
    refShip.Flags.Mast1.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast2.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast3.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;
    refShip.Flags.Mast4.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast4.Flag2 = FLAG_ENSIGN;
Nothing apparently wrong - this calls for ensigns on the mainmast and flagpole, and pennants everywhere else, which is exactly what the ship shows. What's odd is that this is the code for every other battleship of similar type:
Code:
    refShip.Flags.Mast1.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;
    refShip.Flags.Mast2.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;
    refShip.Flags.Mast3.Flag1 = FLAG_PENNANT;
    refShip.Flags.Mast4.Flag1 = FLAG_ENSIGN;
    refShip.Flags.Mast4.Flag2 = FLAG_PENNANT;
That should put ensigns on the sprit topmast, foremast and mizzen, and pennants on the mainmast and flagpole. And indeed, when I copied the entire code from one of these other battleships for the new one, that's exactly what the new ship showed. But this is what the other battleships show:
battleship1.jpg
Pennants on the sprit topmast and mainmast, ensigns on the foremast and flagpole. So the real question becomes, why aren't the other battleships doing what they're told?
In any case, thanks, @Pillat! This lot will be in the next update.:cheers
 
btw, did you ever notice that the Black Pearl's (and variants) scale did NOT match AT ALL? :)

according to all sources, she is about 50m long .. roughly the same as the HMS Bellona.. however ingame, she is like 20 m short compared to the Bellona..

I changed that and scaled her up to her "real" size:

while I was upscaling the last few variants of the Black Pearl, I also added lights to the Queen Anne's Revenge (now also scaled up to her 'real' size) and she never looked prettier :)

Beautiful! Hope this makes it's way into an update of NH :)
