Things I haven't released yet

<b>Jack as officer</b>

<img src="http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l68/Thomas_the_Terror/YoungJackLtCptCo.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

I had to choose between a hat, and a silly face, or no hat with a good face. Pieter rather had the hat, because you can't see the face. But I am choosing for the face, could add them both ofcourse. But what do guys think?
 
They certainly look good; can't deny that. I think the usage depends on whether we use him as pchar or not. As pchar, you don't see his face, so then having a hat would preferrable. Perhaps we could then use the hatless head files for the hat-having models so that you do see your proper face in dialogs. But for non-pchar characters, having a better face would be more important. The only confusing thing is we don't HAVE an officer Jack npchar anywhere, because the player would be Jack. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
I would say, make a poll for it or something like that. OR you put the hat-ones in as the models, and as h_ head files you use the hatless ones for a good face.
 
That's what I tried to suggest; unfortunately you don't actually see all your elaborate work on the uniforms themselves if we just use the heads. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Updated for Thomas' newest models. Still untested as of yet... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

I love those details... and as soon as the update is released I know I'll change my camera mod to lock on doors (stock Potc)... and then turn to look behind... and then turn to make sure... and then turn to see what's new in town... and then turn to scout the clouds... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> all together for the viewing pleasure on costumes and faces. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" />

As for the coding work Pieter... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> ... even a minor addition of it eg. only if Jack serves England fex. during the main quest, would add a whole new flavour to the next stable update of build 13... I hope you'll consider it!

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />
 
Don't call the coding work <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> yet before someone actually tested it. It is and remains 100% untested. I have NO idea if it even does ANYTHING at all. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

I'm not sure if the model assignment on promotion code will make it into the Build 13 update, but it <i>will</i> be put in Build 14 for sure. We might even include some scripted model changes based on the player model during the rewritten main quest for Build 14. We have SO many different Jack Sparrow models now that I feel we should put them to some actual use. Would be fun to see Jack age when playing Jack during the main quest. You'd start with a respectable-looking officer Jack, who then gets better uniforms as he goes along, until he turns pirate and we meet the Jack we know.

I also had some thought on the Multiple Jacks scene from AWE: Would be fun to have the main character fighting a lot of those otherwise unused Jack Sparrow variations here. <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#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> ... the one hundred Jack's scene would just be too good to be true <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />

... I know I'll run after my split personalities, just to put myself together if I play that scene... <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#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> Even untested the code pattern looks good. It is just that it will be quite an enterprize to code up for every character choice in the start menu and keep the skins comming... bold vision ... and perfect !
 
For the Multiple Jacks scene, I would imagine just having it staged as a fight between player and a bunch of different Jacks on a ship's deck with no sea around it.

Having the character models changed for ALL starting characters indeed <i>would</i> be a huge enterprise. I am thinking of just using the generic officer models instead for the other characters models (not Norrington/Jack/Blaze).
 
Good thinking!

using character ID for the ones you chose end "else" letting the governor award the others with an allowance for a new wardrobe with messrs. "the taylor in town" will cut down about 3/4 of the work and still add the perfect flavour to the game.

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

As for the 100 Jacks... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> ... adding 5 or 6 dialogue files with the right stuff, and then let them run away as when crew members on land are being dismissed... and then lai a new set to appear as if they were the same... <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#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
... even if you kill some... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Whatever you do, you're on the right track!

I love the french officiers and hornblower skins, great stuff!
 
Good stuff! I like having new Dutch soldiers in my game! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />
Also good job on the other skins. We'll need to give them a purpose now though. Probably we should completely redo the character model assignment in initModels.c anyway; that'll be quite an undertaking.
 
Something else I have done:
<img src="http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l68/Thomas_the_Terror/RedoneRiggingBritishWarship.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

I HAD to redo the rigging of the ship, the colourscheme and model, just didn't fit the rigging, so I gave her a more modern type of rigging. The model is NOW on the ftp, (note that you should first download the Royal Navy and French Navy shippack (this one has got the texture and ships.init entry) and after that you should put BritishWarship in your models/ship folder. I only need to figure how to let it use the battleship.c walkfile.

PS: I also gave all the Deringer French and English soldiers their h_.ani file, so that they will have their heads in the dialogscreen. I haven't succeeded in giving the dutch yet.
