Okay, I realize this is probably the wrong topic. I posted here because I figured a lot of you guys might actually be interested once you've read my review.

I must say, I wasn't sure when I first got this game(I've been part of the Alpha testing thats been going on for the last couple of weeks, thus my absence lately. **grins**)

This game took me by surprise, it fun, easy to play and ultimately a lot more like what we've been trying to do with PotC and AOP than I thought would have been possible.

The only things odd are its more like playing Dungeon Siege 1/2 or Neverwinter Nights 1/2.

Anyhow, here is a link to my review of the game. Hope some of you guys enjoy and perhaps let me know what you think of my review.

Did you know that Voyage Century actually uses the same game engine as PotC: The Storm 2 engine? Perhaps we can try to... ehm... hyjack some files from that game...? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
wouldn't that give copywright problems? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> not that i have anything against the idea. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
some of the modders can make walk files. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> the only walk file problems are with the ships imported from AOP. those collision files would be handy though. that problem with the new black pearl is bugging me.
 
As of right now personally I'm interested in knowing if GM_Viewer can read models from <i>Voyage Century</i> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
I've tested, and it can - you want me to upload the models somewhere?

<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Edit:
It even uses the TX texture format - those too? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I think that we can port them, but then we need to change the locator names and types, because these are different then in AOP en POTC, but i think that it is possible.

how did you get those?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He downloaded the game client, presumably <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
f= flag locators d=cannon locators

rb= rope beginning re=rope end s=sail rey=rey v=vant st=triangle sail mast=mast (duh <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />) d=cannon left u=cannon right

almost know what all those locators mean. but there are also locators we dont need, like j,k,w and hook locators

but i think, i we want to use them, we have to reskin them a little bit, i dont think they can copyright us then, because then it is a mod we made ourselfs <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
guys, we have the right to use them, they copy thing themselves, i have found deck textures from POTC 1 ship uses the paint job of one of the luggers, they also use the sails of potc.
 
and why can't we ask them wol lightning files and collison files.. if we know that we could make lots of orther things like towns.<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
I think that their paint jobs are HORRIBLE, even I can do it better <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
They also use the same sound files found in POTC. i've herd about 5 so far the same.

anyways, i think akella should sue them. Or re make the game better and make our own server... i'd help support that.
 
No, let just steal their models :p Rico do you have more models we can use <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
dont you regisnize this church? I rember i saw it on a spanish island, Isla Muelle maybe?

I think that the half of the graphics is POTC
