Simplified Code for Build 14 Beta 3.3

[Pieter Boelen]

I finally made it to Orangestad and the textures are still missing. Sooo...I DLed the fix from a few pages back and added the textures from it and all is well again.
Zipped them up and here they are. They go in POTC-->resource-->textures.

AH! NOW I know what is going on. Despite me adding those files on purpose, an old clean-up process also removes them again before the installation completes.
That is.... uhm.... rather useless. But easily fixed for the next release!

Just wondering if there is any way to bring the old Tortuga fountain back in another location? I always liked it.

Is that the same as the one in the new Havana location? That is a working fountain too.

The Lo-Rez jungle textures are still there.

Drat! Completely forgot about that.
Extract attached in RESOURCE\Textures to fix that. Please let me know if it works.

 

[Jack Rackham]

The scale down looks pretty to.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

The Tortuga fountain is completely different from the new fountain.

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

I use this fountain model in the Cartagena townhall garden but I need to re-work that in order to have the water and its effects

I installed that bump and hit F11 and it did not seem to help. Is a new game required?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

You shouldn't even need to close the game at all!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I just double-checked, but that file looks good to me. See here:

 

[Hylie Pistof]

I haven't been there yet, but it seems that some locations are back to normal and some are still bad. I didn't take screenies, but go to Aruba and walk from the stockade to the native village annd you will see the difference.

Indeed work has been done there but more work is needed.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

That screenshot is like that because Bartolomeu considered it better that way.

The texture for the ground? The old texture had some problems. Jason Maffetton made this new texture. From he said when he did this work, he recognized it wasn't the perfect solution but the least worst seeing the circumstances/restrictions of this location.
About the fountains, I'll try to have them working as those of the AOP Tortuga.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Yeah, that grass looks so 1984, where the land was green and the sky blue. The fountains are there but are not working yet.

I do not recall people walking around that section before, and I have been attacked twice now. That never happened before. So yes work is being done but it still has an unfinished feel to it.

The problem is that ground texture is already 2048x2048, which is the texture limit in PotC.
So if the original is blurry on that size, it is impossible to add more detail.
It is either a blurry texture or a solidly coloured one. What would people prefer?

Please open PROGRAM\console.c and find switch(0) and change it to switch(2) .
Go to the location where the ground is still bad and press F12. That should tell you the exact location ID so that I can double-check it.

"It is either a blurry texture or a solidly coloured one. What would people prefer?"

A new non blurry texture? Or whatever works.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Here is one location just outside of town. Cayman jungle 01.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Another one. Aruba junglw 01.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Here is one location just outside of town. Cayman jungle 01.

Please make sure you put that bump texture in the correct folder.
I cannot confirm that problem in my game version:

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Havana this time.


I will check again about that bump.

EDIT: Just replaced the existing file.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Fixed texture is included in here, along with some other small stuff:

Does that work at all?

"It is either a blurry texture or a solidly coloured one. What would people prefer?"

Hmm.... Perhaps I was confused when I looked at it before, so I tried something new. Included in the link I posted above.
Anyway, this is what it now looks like:

Better?

And @Bartolomeu o Portugues: Any thoughts on this one?

Where did you find this texture?

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Ahhh. Mucho whole bunch more better. It's now back like it was.
