Changing crews appearence

Since I'm playing with England it would be nice if the crew were english soldiers. I hate when my crew looks like a bunch of pirates.

Would it be possible to change the boarding soldiers and 3rd person sea crew to look like english red coats?
 
That should be very possible, but it is one of the things that would need to be modded into the game similar to how its been done for the PotC Build Mod.

We use the same ones in POTC they're imported for AOP, I didn't succeed in using new models but you can surely rexture it tough the textures resolution is low, If you succeed in a way or another, please let us know <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
You'd also probably need to make your own officers to recruit since there's only one that looks like an English officer (and he's not easy to get). This would actually be much easier than what you're proposing.
 
Do you mean the crew you see walking on your ship deck in 3D sailing mode here or your boarding crew?
 
Alright; changing the boarding crew should be possible. Refer to the PotC Build mod code for that.
On-deck crew we have been unable to change in PotC so far. We can replace it, but then it's replaced on ALL ships.

In
\Program\nations\
open nations_init.c
down at the bottom of the fil, you'll find the following:

//Player boarding command
for(int i = 0; i < MAX_NATIONS; i++)
{
makeref(rNation,Nations);
rNation.boardingModel.player.m0 = "shipowner_1";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m0.ani = "man";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m1 = "shipowner_10";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m1.ani = "man";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m2 = "shipowner_2";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m2.ani = "man";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m3 = "shipowner_6";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m3.ani = "man";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m4 = "shipowner_7";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m4.ani = "man";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m5 = "shipowner_9";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m5.ani = "man";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m6 = "officer_12";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m6.ani = "man";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m7 = "officer_14";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m7.ani = "man";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m8 = "officer_2";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m8.ani = "man";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m9 = "officer_4";
rNation.boardingModel.player.m9.ani = "man";

Change those to a veriation of sold_eng_1, sold_eng_2, sold_eng_3, sold_eng_4, sold_eng_5, sold_eng_6, sold_eng_7, and sold_eng_8
You can also try off_eng_1, off_eng_2, Hobart and Dragoon_1

(Dragoon_1 is not upgraded)
Not required to install them for this change but they look SOOO much better.
 
I changed "shipowner_1" to "sold_eng_1" etc... but it had on effect <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />
 
What are you talking about?
I am a Dutch corsair and my boarding crew consists of Dutch soldiers. Get a letter of marque and you automatically should get those nation's soldiers.
 
nup
if you get the first promote you gunner become national soldier
second promote give you all the boarding crew become National soldier

Yep, just discovered this and wanted to post it here. Well, I've been beaten to it, but it sure is cool. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
