Can this game handle 512x512 skins?

Hey,

I was just looking at this game the other day and noticed that the skin files are tiny. I was wondering if it was possible to actually increase the size of the skins, and have a more detailed game... If so, I would be happy to take a few requests.

Example of my metals:

and im just as good with wood :p

Thanks,

Another modeler would be most welcome. Maybe you want to look at the "making a new model" thread to see how it's done for POTC.

(And can you make textures without blood, too <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> ?)
 
Well what Im interested in is seeing if this game engine can handle increased texture size. If it could, I could seriously revamp the game with 3x better looking graphics for PiratesAhoy Community Build.
 
Looks really nice, sort of like a grunge site template.

I'm not an expert, so I can't tell you whether or not it would work. Sorry!

Have an ale! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":beer" border="0" alt="beer2.gif" />

Not sure the engine can take the higher qual. graphics, because it could slow things down... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I am no real expert either, but you are right, you could make the graphics a bit better. It might be an interesting experiment...

OR we could just wait for the new Age of Pirates engine and work off of that! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
Well the engine appears capable of running a lot. If someone wanted to get with me on this, we could test this theory of increasing the graphics. It shouldnt lag at all since its a smaller player game. The only thing im concerned about is if the engine has a set height and width for the skins. So someone, if you could, get me 5 simple skins from POTC game to test this out (like hand items or something) in order to do a test run. If this works, your Build has the potential to be the best looking POTC mod.
 
Tibmaker, you haven't got PotC?! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" /> Get it quickly! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Seriously, welcome to the site! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
