Skin request

Sh!fty

Powder Monkey
Hey there, first post on these forums for me...Though I have been coming to these forums for a very long time!

I love POTC and I've been hooked on it since the day of release (I know...That's a long time!)

I love what this community has done to the game...Build 12 and all.
I also love the skin you guys have put on that new Cutter (that small luggerlike-one-masted-ship)

So I was wondering can some1 skin a lugger for me in that same fasion <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
Ok i know you guys aren't fond of "request" topics and stuff like that but it's really bothering me to see that there are no lugger2-skins out there to my liking!

And since I'm a real lugger fan (smuggling - gotta love it) I made this topic! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

So to make it clear and IF somebody would like to help me out, since I have nor the tools nor the skills to do it myself, here comes my small "wish-list":

-Use the Lugger2 model (the lugger with the cabin)
-Make it look like the cutter (Black with a white stripe alongside it and some golden decoration on the windows at the stern)
-Make it look like real wood...A little bit worn out, yet still newly-painted looking.
-Send it to me, or share with the community <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

I will name my first born son after the person who is willing to do this for me! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> And you will officially gain the status of Man-God!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

Love the forums! Love your work! Make it last! Help the helpless (like me LoL) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Sh!fty, and welcome aboard - have an ale! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":beer" border="0" alt="beer2.gif" />

Glad you're enjoying the mods, there are a LOT of talented people who have worked very hard on them to make them good - it's nice to hear a compliment! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I could probably make up a nice lugger skin as you request. I've already done one (I love the lugger, too!) (the Lugger CT is the skin I did), so why not? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" />

If you name your first-born-son after me, he's gonna have some strange times, growing up! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

I'll just add it to the Build as a different lugger skin for all to enjoy. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

I'll be back when I've got some screenshots. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Okay... I went hog wild. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I did what you wanted, and then started playing... So here are two skins...

<img src="http://www.ganotherapyusa.com/extras/75lug-3.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
<img src="http://www.ganotherapyusa.com/extras/75lug-4.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> Yes, this goes on the Lugger2

<img src="http://www.ganotherapyusa.com/extras/75lug-1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
<img src="http://www.ganotherapyusa.com/extras/75lug-2.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> Just playing around. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

The cutter-to-lugger skin was not all that difficult; the cutter IS the lugger - with only the one mast... So the skin JMV made for her was pretty much already ready - I just made her a little more spiffy in the white paint area, and of course added the back windows.

I'm not sure what prompted the second skin but I was just fooling around. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Wow, Lady Cat, that's really sharp! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

Sh!fty, Welcome to the site! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Thank you, Sir Christopher. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I'm not sure how many people will use it, everyone seems to like the bigger ships. I use my Lugger CT for every game, play quite a bit of the beginning using it... Nice little ship. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Welcome, Shifty with an accident-prone lower caps I! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />


Cat, <i>I</i> like the small ship! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

And I would use those skins - the more variation, the more fun. Plus I got plenty of space to spare for my games, heheheh! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

Top notch, Cat! Arr! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Well sink my ship and call me a Hard-Headed-Monkey! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

That's the finest Lugger I have ever seen! I can't wait to take her out to sea <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" />

But on the first lugger skin...What's that black square doing somewhere near the stern?

One mighty fine skin Cat!!! You rock <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

(About that name-first-son-thingy....I think we can figure something out <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> )

Well, now I suppose I have to get these ship skins made up for ingame. I'll get them to Pieter and they'll be in the next modpack. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

So when is this "Next-Modpack" gonna be finished?


Could there be a slight smallish itsy bitsy teeny weeny possibility to get a hold of that skin before the next modpack? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

Really, really beautiful work, Cat. Even if usually I do like sailing big ships, I definitely want to try these. And yes - you rock! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Sh!fty, I'll try to get them set up so you can use them ASAP... Hang loose...

Congratulation, Sh!fty! And thanks for the Rum <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> all, well I got my ships set up and ready to put into the game - they're on the FTP - here's the link:

<a href="ftp://files@piratesahoy.net@ftp.piratesahoy.net/75-2Luggers.rar" target="_blank">ftp://files@piratesahoy.net@ftp.piratesah...75-2Luggers.rar</a>

The password, when prompted for it, is <span style='color:red'>piratesahoy</span>

All you need to do is unarchive the folder and copy the two Program and Resource folders into your PotC directory.

NOTE... JUST IN CASE, MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF ships_init.c <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

LuggerCT2 is the black and white lugger with the triangles.

LuggerCT3 is the one with the skin like the Cutter.

You can edit your starting ship to show this in BuildSettings.h
 
Amazing, that's all <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> You're holy!

Can't thank thee enough <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

I'm off sailing now <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I got a CTD... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" />

And I haven't backed up <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

What could be wrong? Anyway to find out what's causing this CTD?

-Sh!fty
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> No. Do you get any logfiles? Look in your PotC directory and find compile.log, error.log, and system.log - post the last ten or fifteen lines from each, and hopefully I'll be able to figure out what's what.

One other thing to look for - did the files get copied in the correct place? The PotC directory, where they'd overwrite in both Program and Resource directories?

I don't think Pieter's modified anything in ships_init.c that would cause this to crash... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I'm testing now, hang loose...
 
Ok I got desperate so I re-installed build 12, did the same thing over again, overwrite what should be overwritten and got a CTD, I then put back the original ship.init and still had a CTD <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" /> I can't find those compile.log and stuff anywhere...Im getting depserate...I need to sail...The Salt is in my blood...I have tons of contraband...The town guards are on my neck...Save me Cat!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I am stumped on this one, Sh!fty, I did much the same as you just did (you will learn with this game to keep a "clean" copy of PotC w/B12 ready to copy Program files and Resource files over if you need to) - and tested the installation.

I got the CTD, and the error log showed this:

Your error.log is a file in the (default installation directory) C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean\ folder. This is the same folder that has the Program and the Resource files. You can open a .log file in Notepad.

I replaced C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Pirates of the Caribbean\PROGRAM\Ships\ships_init.c and the game now works fine. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I am really confused. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Okay, do this - get your clean install of PotC and B12 RUNNING.

I'll be back with a fix... This is very weird... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
