    Portuguese and Dutch Soldiers

    These be Portuguese Soldiers from approx. 1800 (left is an officer, right a soldier). I'd write more, but I'm trying get the Dutch finished for the deadline. <img src="http://www.thelib.com/gallery/albums/userpics/Portuguese%20Soldiers.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    Who should really be getting the XP?

    I wonder if we should designate a difference between Personal Experience and Crew Experience. Some things like Leadership, Fencing, and Luck should definitely be associated with individual characters. Other skills would be a combination of the player and officers along with the experience of...

    Rethinking the DeMasting Mod

    As it stands now (I've been starting a lot of threads with that phrase) to bring down a mast you have to hit it with the required number of round, chain, or bomb shot, and it comes down. What I propose is that we look at a way to, instead of bringing down the entire mast, carry away a yard. I...

    Realistic Sailing?

    Hello All: I was talking to Nathan about making the Realistic Sailing more realistic and he thought this should be a main thread. So, I'd like to present some ideas on things that could be added to make it all more realistic. If you some ideas of your own, write 'em down and perhaps we can...

    Call for information

    Working on a reskin of the Dutch Military. I know that the Naval Officers wore light blue jackets, light yellow `waist-coats` and breeches, and black hats. That the marines wore black uniforms similar to the Germans, and that the soldiers wore a sort of bluish gray and green jacket.... But...

    What/Who should this be?

    <img src="http://www.thelib.com/gallery/albums/userpics/delavega.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> You may say, "He doesn't look very 17th century." Well, you're right. But remember, I'm trying to move everything to 1801.

    Tweaking the Coastraiders Mod: Code help needed

    POTC Texture Transperancy

    I was fooling around with the flags that KAM made for the international relations section of the F2 screen to try and switch the old Fleur type French flag to the Tricolor. When I convert the tga.tx to the .tga so I can edit it, I lose the transperant parts... they become black. Has anyone...

    "Fake" 64 gun 74 gun Line of Battleships

    I've been crunching numbers and I have come up with a way to "fake" having 64's and 74's. This is entirely dependent on us being able to add more cannon calibres. So, please, if anyone has figured out how to do it, please let me know. What I've done is researched the broadside weight of an...

    Need Shipwright help

    <img src="http://www.thelib.com/gallery/albums/userpics/12%20gun%20cutter.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> As you can see, I've figured out a way to make a "`jury-rigged`" cutter. Its not perfect, sometimes the crew will climb invisible shrouds to then stand on the platform of a...

    Napoleonic Mod -- Next step

    This will count as part of my research. The Dutch Fleet had for all intenstive purposes been captured by the French. Thus, there really isn't a point to keeping the Dutch, Dutch, when you could replace them with a combatant. I just want to know where support lies... what people would like to...

    Something I can't find

    I know I read this at least in the old forum, before the move to the old site... Where is the code that says what icons to use for the captains of ship encounters? Something has to tell the game to load only offic_eng for English naval vessels, well, what does it? Thanks

    RELEASE--- The Napoleonic Skins

    This afternoon I completed work on the Napoleonic pack I've been working on for sometime. Its not everything I had originally planned, but that leaves room for important. Also, my freeware FTP program evaluation period ends tomorrow, so I wanted to release what I could, while I still could...

    Who really makes the best prize captain?

    When you look at your officers skill sets, it seems to me that the "First Mate" is really the worst choice for a prize captain or consort. The gunner or master make more sense. Perhaps someone should take a look at that. Perhaps an overall haul of officer types is needed. Afterall, Sea Dogs...

    Does your master gunner earn his pay?

    Ever noticed in those big fleet engagements that its hard to really appreciate the situation while still having to manually aim your shots? Ever wonder what your officers are doing while you are aiming all of your guns simultaneously? Well, how about an option to give the firing of your guns...

    Americans and Corsairs

    Once I'm through with my Royal Navy skins and have finished updating the Spanish and French skins to function properly, I'm going to start work on a mod to add Barbary Corsairs and Americans. My initial thoughts are to replace the Portuguese with the Corsairs and perhaps the Dutch with the...

    Galley ship model in PotC?

    Interesting. I've always been in favor of more nations. I would like to see some real Algernine Corsairs in their Xebecs and lateen rigs. Its a shame we don't have any galleys. As for Germanic Nations. Prussia, while certainly one of the best land armies in the world in the 18th and 19th...

    British Military Skins

    The first of the new British Skins. This is a soldier of the 5th Regiment of Foot from the American War of Independence. These blokes were tough. <img src="http://www.thelib.com/gallery/albums/userpics/British%20Soldier.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> I really wish I could make...

    Smuggling / Coast Guard

    When you conduct a smuggling mission and guards appear where do you think they come from? Are they a patrol of infantry stationed on the islands, or are they marines from the naval ships? I would appreciate any thoughts on this. Thansk.

    French Military Skins

    Late 18th Century French Naval Captain. Part 1 of a new French Collection I'm working on. <img src="http://www.thelib.com/gallery/albums/userpics/French%20Captain.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> I'll post more later. JMV
