hey everyone i havent been on in a long while (about 4 months) cuz ive been hung up on warcraft.... i realized that build 13 has come out and i got it set up and i really like it (ty everyone who worked on it). i REALLY like the new black pearl ship but it seems to have some problems. i cant get up the stairs when im on deck and i can just walk right through it, as seen in the pic below......

and idea on how to fix it?


and sry if there is another topic on this i havent had time to check up on things....
 
no, i'm absolutely sure there isn't a topic on this yet! except this one, duh. there used to be a problem like this in the stock game where you could look through the stern of the ship, but you could get up the stairs. the only problem there was that you would look through the back of the ship when you where in a certain position.
but your saying that you can't get up the steps and walk right through the back right?

i think pieter will be pleased to know that you finished the main quest! he'd like to know of any problems you may have encountered when playing the main quest.

kazeite's the one who made this ship, he'd probably know what the problem is.
 
Actually, this has been discussed quite a few times. It is because the collision detection only works properly when the model is made in Maya 4.5. As this model was not, it would need to be loaded into Maya 4.5 and finished. So far, no one with Maya 4.5 has been able to figure out how to do it.

At least, that is how it was explained to me. I believe Capt'n Drow was working on it last I heard.
 
ummm about finishing the main quest..... i havent yet, i edited the ships file and made this ship avaliable to be seen out at sea in an encounter, so i got it. ill try and finish the main quest and report anything i find that might be wrong.

and about the steps, i cant get up them, i just walk right through them.
 
Unfortunately this is a known issue that we don't know how to fix. Doober is completely right. We would like to fix it, but we can't. At least nobody figured out how to so far.
 
Still working on that issue right now. As soon as I've successfully exported a new ship of my own, I'll then be able to wash any models that act strangely through Maya and fix all issues of that nature. Until then, I'm still trying to figure out how to get this dratted Maya plugin to work correctly.

The reason why you can walk straight through the door, <b>Vengeance</b>, is because ship's path used is the stock one from Corvettes.

Ship's path is a 3d model, completely separate from actual ship's model, which dictates where you can go in 1st person mode.

As mentioned by <b>Doober</b>, the only way to make working ship's path is to export it via Maya 4.5 plugin. Until then, we're forced to use already existing data, which doesn't quite fit.
 
does it give any problems in boarding? well, at least you can look through the stern of the ship.

nope no problems on borading, i just cant see in front of me because the same thing happens at the stairs in the front of the ship, other than that its no really big problem
 
just curious: if you continue walking, do you suddenly walk up some invisible steps at a certain point? if you walk further backwards at one of the sides, that is.
 
Yes, you do. I have walked around a bit on the ship and you can walk up imaginary stairs.
 
i swear i once saw a screenshot of someone standing on the back of the black pearl. but it could also have been a boarding fight at night which made the ship look like the black pearl. the deck was the same color as the one on the black pearl, or at least the old one. i saw the color of the deck by buying a line ship, if you where wondering. i'm pretty sure that it was from build 13, because it was nothing like the previous builds i've played. i think that it was a screenshot from when the player boarded the black pearl in build 13. but i doubt it, because i don't think the black pearl has its own boarding scenery.

anyway, it looked suspiciously like the black pearl from the back of the ship, ON the deck.
