    Main Quest - Cannot moor at the Grotto

    I've done my searching, both at this forum board and at Playlogic's. Many people have this problem, but there are no solutions that I have found. The situation is that I cannot moor at the grotto, and thus cannot continue in the main story. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif"...

    New sounds mod ready ta sail!

    Hmmm... and even if you know how to use FTP, I can't find this sound pack on there anyway. What happened to it? I would like to procure it as well! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" />

    Realistic cannons idea

    I like your cannon too! Great modelling! If I may make a suggestion though, the barrel of the cannon seems a bit too long for the carriage. It could just be the perspective of the picture you posted, but it looks like the barrel would probably tip the whole thing front-wise unless it was firmly...

    Thats okay. I won't waste my time to make the animation then. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" />

    Cannon models

    Okay, I have found out that removing the cannon models from the ships is as easy as pie. I have already done it to the Galeoth1 ship model. I have replaced those cannons with my own, pefectly positioned. Very easy to do! Now, I have a question before I go any farther... and this is to you...

    Rebuilding the BuildingSet

    I see.... what a tricky trick that was! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />

    Cannon models

    I've shrunk my cannon down to 1.6k polys with the multires modifier. That really worked well on the barrel of the cannon which was the lion's share of polys of course. Dropped it from 3k polys to about 1k while maintaining most of it's outward appearence. Well, it will be awhile before I...

    Rebuilding the BuildingSet

    Pieter, I don't know if you know this, but the BOX model from CCC's buildingset is already exactly as you are describing. It is a person using the box model. You can talk to the box, and it has collision detection and can be pushed around like a person. Could anyone tell me how CCC did that?

    Cannon models

    Thats what I thought... I had read somewhere on these forums that 70k polys was about the upper limit for a ship. Oh, and I have found that many of the user-made ships have their own decent cannon models, so I wouldn't go replacing them. If I tinker with this at all, I would only be working on...

    Realistic cannons idea

    Aye, I realize now that the models of cannons have nothing to do with how they are fired. It is all up to the locators in the scene. So in order to replace cannon models, I would have to import each scene into Max and exchange them there.

    A suggestion about sailing

    I agree that it would be better not to show the player the trustworthiness of an officer. I had no idea that captives could refuse your request! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8q.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":8q" border="0" alt="8q.gif" /> I've hired dozens of them, and...

    Cannon models

    Thanks for that info mate! I had finally come to that very conclusion after experimentation by deleting all the cannon locators on a ship, buying that ship, stocking it, and finding that the ship wouldn't load any cannons... there weren't any cannons to load. *sigh*... I wonder why Akella...

    Cannon models

    I've been doing a lot of my own research into changing the stock cannon models into a more aesthetically pleasing one. The conclusion that I've come to is that if I were, hypothetically, to change the cannon models of all the ships and forts in the game, it mean that I would have to load each...
