    Blender Ship Modelling

    Thanks for adding me to the modders group! Those tools will come in handy. It's great that you're training to be an officer and exciting that you'll be done this summer! If you like being on the ocean and don't mind being gone for long periods of time then the maritime field is the way to go...

    Blender Ship Modelling

    Bugs with Kongsberg simulators?!? haha I can tell you have been around one. Were you a simulator tech or have you used a simulator for training? Pieter you aren't an officer for Holland America Lines are you? By the way, what version of Maya do you suggest i download off of the FTP server and...

    Blender Ship Modelling

    Thanks guys for all of the info! I think that I'm just going to try to get my hands on Maya and see if that works. I like blender, it's a great program, but sometimes i wish that it was just a little more simple. We have an old version of Mulit Gen at work for our kongsberg full mission bridge...

    Blender Ship Modelling

    I'm still having trouble when I try to use TOOL to open the .wrl file i export with blender. I get an error that says 'DuplicateVRMLVerts1:Mesh could not be processed.' That happens even after exporting to .obj using GM viewer. Any idea what may cause that? There must be a setting in blender...

    Blender Ship Modelling

    Hi Guys, I made another topic like this one, but it looks like it might have been loss during all the server trouble. Basically, I am using TOOL and blender 2.48 to mod ship models. Unfortunately I have been having trouble when converting from gm to vrml97, importing and exporting vrml97 w/...

    Line ship, war ship or battleship?

    The frigate is probably my favorite vessel. But, if you're looking for a little bit more fire power the warship is a compromise between speed, turn speed, and fire power. When using a larger ship I usually prefer to use the Man O War. It may not have the best turn speed, but it actually has very...

    Patch 1.5

    I had the same problem of the governer not giving me anymore more missions when i was playing as both the French and the British. I was at the rank of commadore both times. I found a fix for it though. I'm not sure if this will work for you guys, but I noticed that around the same time that the...

    Secrets of Far Seas

    Well I do say! It appears that I have a little bit of a problem! My men keep on killing off the french. I guess that I will just have to reinstall the program and see if that helps. Thanks for the help! Oh, and one more quik question. How large is the addon file supposed to be? My internet...

    Secrets of Far Seas

    So am I not even supposed to start on the deck of the ship, or do I get transported to prison right after the fight with the french?

    Secrets of Far Seas

    Hey guys, I've installed the new russian add on and have installed Thomas' english translation and everything seems to be working fine except for one problem. I start off on the deck of a ship with my logbook saying the french have boarded my ship. My crew and I completely route the french and...

    English Navy Officers and French marine

    Thanks for the advice guys. I wouldn't mind using the lineship skin for now, right now my man o war is just a big gray hulk in the game. But, I would eventually like to create my own skin. I was thinking of something along the lines of the skin of the frigate from AOP. I once saw a picture of...

    The Princesa?

    I had wondered what those vessels were. I see a lot of them at the very beginning of a new game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":kev" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> Maybe I should try to board one and see what I find!

    English Navy Officers and French marine

    I have a two quik questions. What program do you use to reskin characters and ships? I would like to reskin the Man O War from POTC to be used in AOP. I'm not sure if I could do it, but I would definitely like to give it a shot! Also, how do you assign a character portait to a character that...
