All new Pinnace / Seven Provincien

[Pieter Boelen]

Today I tried to put the Seven Provincien into my game, but found that boot.tga is missing and I can't seem to find that file anymore either. So I put the old Seven Provincien in instead. Considering that both versions of the ship are pretty different, I think we should use both. Once I found boot.tga somewhere, that is... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Holy necropost Batman!

This just goes to show just how old this ship is.

Anyhoo, I'm starting to tinker with this ship. The hull GM is broken so I am severely limited but there is still a lot that can be done. First pics.

The mizzen mast is pretty much done. Just some fine tuning left. Main mast is next.
Before and after.

 

[Thagarr]

Nicely done mate, she is looking good!

 

[Hylie Pistof]

The sails are up on the main mast. Just a little fine tuning is needed.

 

[Armada]

Looks much improved already; nice work! I like your choice of yards.

I would probably move the mizzen tops'l (the square sail) down a metre or two.
On the mainmast I'd lower the mainsail (largest one) by the same amount, and make the sail slightly shorter. This would hopefully make the two lower sails a bit similar in size and compensate for the awkwardly proportioned masts.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

The yards are from the new pinnace (lateen & mizzen) the FR_LightPinnace (almost all others) and La Licorne ( two top sails) I can't remember the name of that middle sail.
Anyway, they have a nice pointy look to them.

I finished getting all the yards on last night and making sure all the ropes and stuff is in place. There were a few chuckles at mistakes too. Now to adjust things.

That mizzen is interesting in that the upper and lower yards are separate. It was a pain to get it set up but it is easy to adjust for size now. It is the stock size and in the stock location now. What I want to do is drop the whole mizzen mast down and back but will just settle for relocating that sail. The lateen is where I want it.

Heh. If I could just replace the masts I would. You want the mainsail smaller and the midsail larger? I'm thinking about making the topsails smaller too. Here is where I stopped last night. Front and back views plus a little playtime.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Well, for starters I did it a little different from your suggestions.

I lowered and resized the mizzen to get its shape more in alignment with the others.

Then raised the 2 mid sails to make them bigger and the top sails smaller.

There are technical limitations on how low the bottom of the main sails can go and they are there already.

 

[Armada]

That looks about right to me.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Ok, just trying to get it right. Now for detailing.

1000 curses!

I was about to start on phase 2 with this ship when my game died. So I started a new game but the press of testing put me into a different time period, so this ship is on hold for a while.

Doesn't work.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

It has always worked for me and I use it quite a bit. You just have to reload the scene (to shore or worldmap) and your new ship shows up.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Except it doesn't. The console has not worked for me since 2012.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

How are you using it? Does it read switch(1) at the top? If it is switch(0) , you have to change it to 1.
It has never not worked for me. I always use that method to quickly check on a ship or make a screenshot or something.
