Thanks, matey.

I'll install her immediately, give her a test run and get back to you shortly.

Sounds good
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> there, Inzane.

Got her in game and running. A fine looking ship, I'm loving her.

A couple of points to consider though.

1. As it stands she's still using the walk file for the original Frigate1 which is Frigate_walk, so you'll need to update the shipWalk C File to look for your new Frigate1_walk file.

2. I love the detail you've given her, however it seems to be taking it's toll on the fps rate. It slows the game down slightly with the ship by itself at sea, noticeably more so if there's a number of other ships around and greatly if firing guns. I'm guessing that the high poly count for the guns on the quarterdeck and fo'c'sle are the major contributors here. Maybe the large surface area of the interior is contributing as well.

Depending on how this effects most players, would you be up for modifying her for smoother running in the game? My PC is not high end but mid range performance, and I'm guessing that a significant proportion of our shipmates here are not high end either, but I'm sure many would love a practical, smooth running version of this ship in their game. If so I hope I can offer some suggestions if I may, however firstly I'd like to test her out a bit more.

Another thought is to introduce her as a new ship model, rather than as a replacement for Frigate1. Give her new stats.

Once again, great work. It's great to see a completely new ship model that has the potential to be included in the PostBuild 12 Modpack.

sorry for being a n00b, but where do i put the walk file?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Hi there, Lord Nelson.

The walk file goes in PROGRAM/SEA_AI/walk.

I'm thinking the shipWalk C File might need to be modified, however this may effect other frigates using Frigate1 references. Might need a new Ships init C File entry to get around this, which means you can have unique new stats for this ship.

The new ftp is ftp.piratesahoy.org, username: files@piratesahoy.org and password piratesahoy. For details check "POTC Public FTP details".
 
thank ye, that worked better <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
yep i noticed it too. shoots from where th guns should be thou, so maybe inzane forgot to remove gun tags or something?

But she is a very beutiful ship <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

and Inzane's screenies dont do her justice <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
I wanna see (in a update is all) more ropes hanging around and more bits on deck, like rowing boats, ships bell and all that jazz.

My 2 pence worth
 
From juding by screenie names and stuff it looks like this is the lite version, its the main version that has the guns it seems, any chance we will be getting it?

Oh and inzane, where can i get that wonderful flag texture? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
This is amazing! Certainly a PotC first: An actual complete custom model being finished while I had personally had given up hope on ever seeing a completely new model in the game! Major congratulations to you!!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ty" border="0" alt="flower.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
(Is that enough happy smileys? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> )

I am going to add her in as a seperate ship in the Post Build 12 mods once I have time. Maybe I'll be able to find time tomorrow. I certainly hope so; this model seems to deserve very much being put in. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
BTW: Do you know how to make custom walk files for ships? Because the lugger from the SLiB mod that we added doesn't have the proper walk file, so the crew is walking through the deck. I'd like that being fixed, but nobody seems to know how to do it... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
i hope that the "HEAVY" version has all the guns.
and wouldn't Inez Diaz know how to make a walk file?
he/ she [?] has been coming to the forums more often lately, so maybe someone could catch him[/her?] and ask?
 
Uh? When has Inez been online? Haven't seen any post from Inez for months.
 
thats funny, im sure i saw.......... OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH, DOH!
stupid me, i remember where i saw Inez, in this topic a month or maybe YEAR BACK!
sorry
 
If I recall correctly, I remember talking to Inzane about the gunports way back when this was still being worked on. The original model had a full complement of cannons, but the cannon models were very high-poly. It completely destroyed the FPS, almost made it unplayable. Hence the closed-gunports look. I think it looks fine as-is, and when I'm blowing ships out of the water, I'm not really concerned about details like that :p
 
well it has been a long time in the making.most time was spent figuring out how to keep the ship from crashing when she fired her guns.that really had me confused for a few months.
yes there is a second version with lower guns,and they where a fps killer.but this is also a good way to see how potbs will run on you computer.<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> the flag is lost on my old harddrive someplace.if I have time I will look for it tonite and put it in the folder on the ftp.I am really glad you guys enjoy it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
