Shipmodels for the worldmap

Just pointing out that my "Privateer" and "Dutch Fleut" skins are used here. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

Yours still look much better than those crazy toy ships, I think. I hope you don't mind me doing a version 2 of your mod. I've been wanting to make a better version for quite a while since IncredibleHat's complaints about the original version. I want to add the mapships INTO the Build and not as additional download. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

And the flags are IMHO better for gameplay than emblemed sails: Not TOO easy to identify them, but you have a fair chance.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't like emblemed sails too much. I don't think ships usually had them. But all ships had flags. I am considering adding emblems onto the Spanish ships though. I recall that Spanish ships really did have red crosses on their sails.

In any case: I am adding some sort of national identifier to all ships so that they can be recognized, even if the player can't recognize the ship types. But I try to choose ship types that show the nation as well. For example: The Dutch Fleut for the Dutch and an English brig (similar to the Interceptor) for the British. That way it should be relatively easy to correctly identify the nation of the ships.

Yes they are. Like Jack Sparrow would say: "Couldn't resist, mate!" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
I'll add credit where credit is due in the accompanying ReadMe for the new mapships mod. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
BTW: Have you got any suggestions for ships to use for the Spanish and Portuguese? I want to use ships that are relevant to these nations and I think you would know best. I was thinking about using your Royal Galleon for the Spanish. Or perhaps the War Galleon 2? Or one of your other Galleon-like reskins?
 
i sure hope it is. could give an interesting complication. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Is that Royal Navy brig not my work? For the P and E mod?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes it is. I was busy putting your and Seb's ships into my Build 14 Alpha WIP version a couple of days ago and since I was looking for a British ship skin now, I thought I'd use one of those. I like that Brig you did: Nice bright yellow on the sides. She makes me think of the HMS Interceptor. I hope you don't mind using your skin; I'll give credit in the ReadMe, of course. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

I wonder if I should add those P&E ships into the Build 14 Alpha version. I would like to; that way we'd have more ships still. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
well, i have seen two of them that are very much alike in PotC, but i think that the other one was from MuddyMunkey. (it's with a u, right?

EDIT: seems like it wasn't. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> it was indeed the black and yellow one that i meant. i love the weathering on some of those ships. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> but i have also seen a black and white one.

Royal Galleon (Galeon3_50) for Spain would be nice.

For the Portuguese, Light Caravel (Caravle3_50) would also be nice.

You'd have to check them in game to make sure there is enough contrast between the two to be easily distinguishable.
 
COOL! you can take everthing you like to put it into the Mod, as long as i am mentioned for the things i have made <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> It would be a real honour!
 
Thanks a lot, Thomas. I'll mention you in the accompanying ReadMe. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

To Petros: I'll check them out. Thanks for the suggestion. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
I have finished the first version of the Worldmap Ship Models mod remake. All toyships are now replaced by real ships with modeled rigging and added flags. This mod should work fine on top of any PotC game version. Please give me your comments. Especially on the performance of the ships, the scale and the looks. Once I got some comments, I'll try to improve the mod some more after which I will release the official final version. The current version doesn't have a ReadMe yet, but the final version will have a ReadMe crediting the people who made the ship skins I've used.

The sizes of the ships in 3D Studio MAX are pretty much the same, but it seems to me that the Spanish ship is quite a bit larger than the other ones. I don't understand why, really... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
Nice Job!! This day signs the end of those toyships that were out of place in such a game! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Thanks a lot. I took the liberty to use your French Frigate3 reskin for the French worldmap ship. I hope you don't mind. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
i don't really mind them being so big, actually. gives you a chance to see the details and makes it easier to determine nationality. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> about those spaniards: it does make frigates look a bit small though. but hey, it surely is a lot better than it was!
 
No problem for the use of the skin, on the contrary, as could say Thomas, that's an honor ^^ <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
They might work in AoP if AoP has a worldmap that works in the same way as PotC's. If it works, please say so. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

BTW: Could you show a screenshot of the current AoP mapships?
 
That is pretty nice. I wonder if it's possible to do that in PotC as well. Might be possible. But I won't try it any time soon.

Cool PIETER! I think i am going to use them for AOP too, these look so much better!
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'd rather the AOP use AOP skins for their AOP ships.
TT should have remembered that in PM I told him a few months ago, not to put my POTC work into AOP.

My boycott of AOP is partly because of the very botched buggy release, but mostly because of their insistence of cramming Starforce down our throats.

I have not bought AOP.
Nor do I ever intend to, under these circumstances.
I will not contribute to their game either.

Pieter, If your mod is going to AOP, fine, but I have to ask that you use stock or other skins, and not the skins/ship models I did for POTC.
