F2 SHIP PICTURE

Phaser · Oct 21, 2006

Ok this is how you get your custom ship picture to show when you click F2/ships ingame:

once you have converted your ship picture back to game format (.tx), name it exactly like the model's name

example.. i have ported both the bermsloops from PotC, 1 is called bermsloop163 and the other bermsloop263 i had to rename each model and all the rest of the files in that folder (not the textures they are thier original names) to bermsloopa1 = (bermsloop163) and bermsloopb1 = (bermsloop263) so i name the picture bermsloopa.tx and bermsloopb.tx and VOILA!

I tell ya thomas, you don't appreciate steps do ya!! I have a pic when sailing go figure it out yourself bro..

wtf, i have also a pic in the f2 menu, put that doesn`t show up the pic in sea mode. And i appreciate it that you share the knowledge BUT the thing you mentioned has been known for a longer time, in the super mod thread, in a post of wolf.

and I have found that working f2 picture ship, before your post, so that is why i reacted that why, sorry if you dint like.

Wait - I'm lost here...

If you rename the texture and model to the name of a boat in the game - would it not replace that texture and model instead of adding a new one?

Thomas the Terror · Oct 23, 2006

you need to copy the model, and then change the names and hex them

Hiyas,

Ok this is how you get your custom ship picture to show when you click F2/ships ingame:

once you have converted your ship picture back to game format (.tga), name it exactly like the model's name

example.. i have ported both the bermsloops from PotC 1 is called bermsloop163 and the other bermsloop263 i had to rename each model to bermsloopa1 = (bermsloop163) and bermsloopb1 = (bermsloop263) so i name the picture bermsloopa.tga and bermsloopb.tga and VOILA!

Wait something is new here from what I put down. I can get the large 128*128 picture to show by renaming a copy of the texture to the name of the new ship, but I don't quite get how Phaser got the smaller picture to show up. Could explain where you put your transfered files and which hex edit changes you made? Maybe the issue is wether the textures are 32 bit or 16? I made all my copies 16bit. How bout you phaser?

@Thomas,
the ship pic in sea mode is auto generated by the game, custom pics will "NOT" show up without a new code and new ship_icons, i suspect that this part of the code handles it i'm still looking into it.....

@windwolf7,
Nope didn't hex edit any textures and didn't rename them they are their original names as its not needed unless you plan on changing the textures that come with
the model (i don't recommend this without asking the owner of the model 1st) to something else, i save all new custom ship pics to the exact same name as the model (.gm) without the "1" and place them in Programs\textures\interfaces\ships and i save them like this...

Where did you find that code? That may be exactly what needs to changed or more specificly have the new ships added to the list. What is the file and I can test if it works.

Phaser · Oct 24, 2006

I extracted that code from the BattleInterface.c

windwolf7 · Oct 29, 2006

Well The battleinterface code did fix some things but only the little picture that appears for your ship when your at sea, not the little one that appears when you buy a ship. Guess I will have to keep looking.

Phaser · Oct 29, 2006

You shouldn't have to look for anything i have already explained how to do it,if your hex editing any of the stock textures for stock ships then that is your problem, even ported ships from potc none of them need hex editing.

i keep a 24/7 ventrilo server running, if you need more help you can find me on there (most of the time) for more in depth instructions on the f2 ship pics.

I use an older version of ventrilo 2.14, the new version 2.30 is limited to only 8 users unless you pay for a server my server is unlimited.You can get the client from me

Client...
<a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~isc/ventrilo_2.14.exe" target="_blank">http://home.earthlink.net/~isc/ventrilo_2.14.exe</a>

Server Name...
69th

Ip...
71.52.6.128

LordDrow · Oct 29, 2006

Excellent, Phaser. Thanks for providing the info about your ventrilo server and a link to the client. Don't know if I'll log in today. But definitely will soon.
