It took a while of scrolling through Ships_init.c and Excel side-by-side, but at least the colour gradient stuff was automatic... no way I would have done THAT manually!Wow, that must have taken you a LOT of effort to make!
Any chance you can make the top two rows stick when you scroll down? I know how to do that in Excel. But Google Spreadsheats? Not so much.
HAHA! You've got to love conditional formatting!It took a while of scrolling through Ships_init.c and Excel side-by-side, but at least the colour gradient stuff was automatic... no way I would have done THAT manually!
Shame. Oh well, nothing to be done about it, I suppose.It does do that when I'm working on the spreadsheet in the full Excel version I use, but it doesn't work in the Excel Web app.
... but our barque has a square-rigged mizzenmast.a sailing ship of three or more masts having the foremasts rigged square and the aftermast rigged fore-and-aft
Not too much sharing, right?Most of the changes so far have involved either restricting ships to certain periods or sharing out nation-specific paint schemes on certain Napoleonic ships. Let me know if anything seems out of place.
No, I'm trying not going overboard with them (no pun intended).Not too much sharing, right?
This much I noticed:
NL_Trinity set for Spain only
NL_FleutWar, NL_Batavia and NL_Essex shared - Especially NL_Batavia really doesn't work for other nations
PO_Caravel50 shared between all nations; is she really that generic?
US_Schooner47 and US_Brig47 have special white US masts; doesn't seem right for England and France
I wouldn't even have mentioned it, if it hadn't been for those specific masts. We could just replace them with generic deck.tga masts and be done with it.A good example is US_Schooner47: She has a 0.4 chance with America and I've given her a 0.1 chance with France and England, as they were known to use the white stripe at times.
The same applies to other ships with either the white or yellow stripes. Does that sound fair enough?
YES! Petros did a great job on her!It's a much nicer paint scheme than the stock caravels, I'd say.
Not sure about those masts being historically accurate. But I do know they were meant for the US only by Thomas the Terror.Good point about the mast colour on those US ships. I'd expect England and France to use yellow ones, but we don't have a yellow texture for deck.tga masts.
That said, I don't know if white masts were exclusive to US ships. Hopefully Post Captain or Captain Armstrong could clarify on that.
I wouldn't even have mentioned it, if it hadn't been for those specific masts. We could just replace them with generic deck.tga masts and be done with it.
Both done. Bit of a shame though to make them less unique.
Nah, let's not bring more work onto ourselves. I want to get that Beta 2.5 out there SOON! I had been hoping for... perhaps this week.Funny thing is, we could probably stick yellow masts on the ships and they'd look acceptable for both the US and RN.
As I said before though, it would ultimately be better to have the masts use black for the upper half and yellow for the lower half, but that's a lot of remapping to do.
That makes things simple, then.I have no love for the PO_Manowar, or any of those oversized and low-detailed manowar thingeys. So we could drop her altogether for all I care.
Yeah, that's why I didn't want to pick on the Trinity, because I know a lot of work has gone into those paint schemes.Noriruru went through a lot of trouble to make those Trinity reskins though, especially that British black-and-yellow skin.
And I went through a lot of trouble HEX-ing her and getting all of his skins in the game properly.
I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have bothered.
NL_Trinity does have the green stern; want to see about making that red again somehow?
If you think about it, as far as three-deckers are concerned, Portugal loses two and Holland loses one, which isn't downsizing much.Perhaps we don't quite have to go for 100% realism. Perhaps only 80% would suffice?
Bit of a shame to downsize the ships in some of the navies. Shouldn't they be vaguely evenly matched?
Nah, let's not bring more work onto ourselves. I want to get that Beta 2.5 out there SOON! I had been hoping for... perhaps this week.
Why do we want those US versions for the British fleet though? Not sure about giving more ships to England. They've got... a lot.
