Released Fix for the Fast Galleon

[Pieter Boelen]

If you have that uploaded somewhere, I'll put her into my new Update files.

Here is a link to fasgalleon1 in her present state. This is with the included hirez COAS skin.

I will continue working on this ship and the other variants. It is election day here and the wife has already put our best wine on ice. This means that there is no telling when this ship will be done.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

So that is including Armada's hull fixes as well, right? Only has to be HEX-edited for the other same-type ships.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Yes. I just finished the final work on the hull. All that is left is hex editing for the other versions.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Cool! Are you doing that too, or do I need to?

 

[Hylie Pistof]

I will do it using this latest hull. For me this ship will never be "finished".

 

[Hylie Pistof]

The interim fastgalleons are done. For now. They are fastgalleon1 & 2, the pirate fastgalleon, and La Marianna.
GhostofDeath should look over La Marianna to make sure I did it right.

Here are before and after pics.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Brilliant; thanks very much!

Here is the interim version of the fastgalleon11, or Golden Hind, in GOF2. She has the good bow wave, improved masts sails and rigging, and the choice between having the critter on the bow or not. She now also uses Craiggo's textures.

It seems I still have not recovered from the election celebrations and am having a difficult time getting anything done, so please report the mistakes.

And here is the interim version of her sister ship, galeon_h1.

Hello,

I am pleased to announce that I repaired the two missing guns on the Fast Galleon. It has now a total of 38 guns instead of 36.

Then you have the file just below, tell me if everything is correct.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

If the guns fire and you don't get errors, it is probably OK.

 

[GhostOfDeath91]

There are no error messages. As this is the first time I made locators. I want to know if everything works well everywhere and if worn, the angle and position of the guns are good.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

In the case of cannons on ships, it should be a simple matter of copying the line of an existing cannon so that the angle will be the same as the previous.
It's not easy to see if the angles are good or bad though. We have some issues with that on the new Curacao fort with that as well.
At least.... we think that's where the problem is.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

If you followed this locator guide all should be well. Is this for the standard fast galleon or the Marianna?

[GhostOfDeath91]

For all, including the Marianna.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Ah. I have the merchant version right now so should be able to test it today.

I could not figure out that text file so did it by hand following the advice in Armada's locators tutorial.

Those 2 cannon now fire and I did update the number of cannons in shipsinit.c but they do not show up on screen.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

That text file can be imported in the TOOL.

 

[Armada]

Looks like those locators should work fine.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

I added the 2 cannons to all 4 fast galleons and edited the shipsinit.c, but the ship still only shows 36 cannons instead of 38. Dunno where else to look.
