I have been modding the stock PotC for a while and have come across some code that i have been unabel to find again but seemed to refer to a ship storing servace

This gave me an idea

I know build mod contains a ship birthing part but i want to be able to board them and see where they are stored

then it hit me <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

the door at the back some of the shipyards that has no use

now what i would like to do is create a room with dock platform with 6 runoffs
that when you store a ship (by talking to the man inside it is put against one of these runoffs and u can get inside it and there is a bed for sleeping in to replenish heath for free

but to get in there you need to ask the shipyard owner about it and go to that colonys govoner and buy it

now my question is can it be done

and if so how

(any helpers will be thanked in the mods documentation)

<u>key</u>
B= Wall
D= Door
W= Water
S= Ship area
F= Floor
M= Man who lets you store your ships and board them
L= Large door that u can see outside because it is partulay open and there are holes underneath to allow water to flow

Still Like it because i realy need someone to do the interior for me

Well, you need to model the room, with the ships and stuff. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Or, alternatively, you could use the FdF location where you find Fred Bob. Maybe you could have the gate entrance to lead to the shipyard second door, and the little path in the rocks lead you to a shore location. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

I think this is a very good idea, and fairly easy to make! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

 

[Vassal]

Try using Inez's tool <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" />

 

[Rico]

It think it can be done without actually modeling something. Just adding a few locators, maybe. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

 

[fudge dragon]

How do i open the rar file it comes in because winace does not want to read it? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

and its opened rar files in the past

 

[Inez Dias]

If you want to model your own you either need Maya 4.5 (not PLE) with the Plugins or any Modeler program that can export VRML.

I dont have build mod

it screwed up PotC last time
and it adds too many mods i dont like and cant turn off

also how do i make the ships change depending on what ships are stored

 

[Rico]

I don't know, Fudge Dragon, sorry. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

To open all RAR files, I would suggest WinRar. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

thats the proplem

my winrar does not like opening rar files it take about 5 minutes to do so

 

[Inez Dias]

If it won't open maybe the download is corrupt. Try downloading again.

 

[fudge dragon]

Tnks now who would i actualy make the building because when i go new scene i gust get a white box

 

[Inez Dias]

The white box is your new room. If you convert your textures to tga with txconverter and enter the path to the directory they're in in the Texture Path textbox, the white should be replaced by a texture.
But this tool is not really a modeling program. It only lets you create simple rooms and put some furniture into them.

 

[fudge dragon]

right i think i will have to forget the idea of seeing the ships then untili am i have more money to buy a modeling program

well i can still write the dialog files

[Pieter Boelen]

Why don't you try it with a beach with the ship laid up on it? There are already beach models. If I understand correctly (unlikely, because I've never done anything with it), you can add a locator on the beach and have your laid up ship be put in there. Since it can be done in harbours with your actual ship, why not on a beach with a laid up ship?
BTW: Wished I'd get more spare time. I've modeled some non-PotC ships, maybe I could model some nice PotC stuff once...

 

[Vassal]

Yeah...you should model ships <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
