I have a string quartet under my posession. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />

Some musical instrument models would be great. Extra random items too... like a variety of `weapon-esque` bits, shovels and grappling hooks. I see the tool can also change the size of weapons... I'm'a make some `big-ass` Cloud `Stryfe-style` swords now.

Can change character model sizes too...

(still need an edited animation to go with it... they look goofy as all `get-out` with some of the moves they make. But that `Oompa-Loompa` sized fellow is fun because he looks like he's `high-stepping` when he runs... wish i could record an AVI and post it.)

This especially helps matching heads. A lot of the male heads, even if you get them on the neck, are too big. So you shrink 'em. (I'll post ladies with eyepatches soon.) Or make them bigger...

And this `elfin-looking` thing is my first completed `cross-gender` conversion project.

Her weapon locators are off, though. Even replacing them with the originals (remember the new mixed model uses the locators as determed by the head) for some reason doesn't help.

Stephen is Killer's head on Searcher's body. I don't know that the original searcher head wouldn't have fit the actor's facial strucure better, but I also wanted to better reflect the "reptillian" face he's described as having in the book.

Anyway, I stayed up most of the night with this new discovery. It's like a great new toy. Cheers Inez.

No, sorry. Plain gifs and troubled ones as you see (with palette transparency). <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Well, we'll have to go hunting for some musical instruments. (Or make them..)

Alan, this is great - as soon as I'm done with the patches I'll look into resizing animations with the characters (can be done, just need to make a user interface for it). What's the problem with the weapon locators I don't know, I'll have to check that <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

Alan you really must give yourself the custom title (like mine is "Renegade Modder") "EVIL GENIUS" !!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Thanks for sending over that custom model for Stan... <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 need to share this with everyone - Alan sent me a headswitch model where he `re-sized` the head so that my sneaky trader could look a bit more like Stan from Monkey Island - with his trademark sombrero...

I did a quick and dirty edit of textures to get this pic - it's not quite right - but it's funny as heck!

<img src="http://www.ganotherapyusa.com/extras/stan1.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> <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 don't think I'll use this for my Sneaky Trader (I really like the "disreputable but handsome Harry" look better), but it would be pretty funny if we could get him to tap his toe and wave his arms about! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Yes! <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#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <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#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <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#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <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 we absolutely MUST have Stan in the game - even if he's not the Sneaky Trader.
 
Dr Alan Evil, cosmetic surgeon. Head transplantations at discount fees ! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" />
 
Yeah, see, gotta make penance... he looks great Cat.

Darn, there's a picture at whiteninjacomics.com I want to snag for a signature picture, but I can't find it. I think it's a fan art... someone tells the white ninja he ought to eat his fruit but he refuses, so he catches scurvy, which for him involves little by little turning into a pirate: pop, an eyepatch. stubble. parrot sprouts on his shoulder. etc.

hm... "Alan Smithee: Bumbling, Misguided Genius."
 
Ah, I am the GoogleMaster -

<a href="http://www.whiteninjacomics.com/images/fanart/`fa-scurvy`.gif" target="_blank">http://www.whiteninjacomics.com/images/fan...scurvy`.gif</a>

Don't want to remotely link as they might not allow it. But there it is, it's pretty funny! <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 why I couldn't find it... I mispelled scurvy as "scurvey" in my search. Oh well; I haven't made an animated gif since I was 13...

More. These are the character portraits. Cat, you'll recognize the clothes one of them is wearing...

Those are great ! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_praise.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="icon_praise.gif" />
 
Hee hee, I second that, WELL DONE, Alan! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
Hah, great ! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" /> So we can make more backalleys, gardens and jungleslopes accessible <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> Is it possible to "climb" on buildings or rocks by means of a steeply sloping patch?
 
Oh, well, I still haven't gotten to making the y (height) component of patch coordinates editable. So we can only do flat patches right now.
Like you and Cat said in another thread - it's hard to keep up with the speed that things are developing here. Wish I had a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG vacation!
 
ONLY flat patches? That's already excellent. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Yes, all the untapped opportunities that this game still offers are sometimes a bit overwhelming.
On the other hand, it means that it can keep us occupied for years. and we are in no hurry, aren't we? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
