Modified Battleship

AdmiralKoch

Master Mariner
I've been modifying the Battleship from PotC and I now need to know how to "Fix" the textures <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> they don't look as good as they should, hehe

<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v708/nicklas101/Battleship.jpg" target="_blank">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v708/nic.../Battleship.jpg</a>

I also need help with getting her ingame.
If anyone wants to help me, feel free to PM me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> then I hope we can get the ship ingame asap.
 
Very nicely done! What program are you using? So far, adding ships into the game has proven pretty hard, but it can be done. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I think she'd make a perfect 74 if she was properly reskinned. What a great model.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

actally I was thinking about removing the cannons in the front of the ship, and make her a 64 instead, atm it has 70 guns like the Battleship. Maybe, if I'm good enough I'll try make it look like the HMS Agamemnon.

but this is "my" first model
it's not really my model, I just added a few things to the Battleship, and moved some parts of the ship.
 
do you think you could make the stern of the MOW look like the Victory's?
i think that this should be added to the list of ships to be added to the BRN [British Royal Navy], FRN [French Royal Navy] & DWIC [Dutch West India Company] navy pack that Captain Jackamo is making by collecting Seb''s, Captain Hawk's and [i think] his ships to make.
it would be interesting if we could get the stock brown & red governor's MOW to look like the HMS Victory.

Yes, I can do that... but I need to finish the 3rd rate first, I'm not even sure if I can get her ingame.

here is a pic of the original ship (right) and my ship (left), just to give you guys a idea of what I have changed, plz tell me if I should add or remove something on it.

atm, it doesn't have any textures on... I found out how to UV map yesterday, so now I just need help getting her ingame <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />
 
Lord Nelson,

I've removed the stern galleries on the MOW-gub model,

I'm just trying to put the texture map back together so that I can do the skinning work and we should have a Victory(esque) first rate.

Admiral Koch,

Ah - the joys of uv mapping!!!
What version of Mayer are you using, if it's 4.5 there's a plugin that will convert .ma's to .gm available on the wiki.
If it's a later version, may I recomend accutrans (there's a link in Hawk's 'new 64' thread.
This way you can exports your ma to VRML2, then load your VRML2 in accutrans, then save it as a vrml1 file and convert it to .gm using the Inez Dias tool. It's long winded, but in theory it should work.
 
Yeah!!! she rocks!!!!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> nice work!!!
 
thats how i made my sloop, i took the luggers hull and rebuilt it into a sloop hull, too bad i cant get the models converted properly thou, Inzane was supposed to convert the refitted surprise for me, but i havent heard from him for a while now.
 
how about redesigning the stern of the MOW? rather than just removing the stern galleries?
when i saw the different between the original and the one you made, i think it would be a piece of cake for you to make the stern like the Victory.
and if one of the guys who knows how to make it a new ship [such as Capt' Jackamo or Petros [which i haven't seen in a while]], we could make it replace Governor Silehard's MOW at the end of the game.
there could be a very bright future for this.
 
Well the galleries are gone, but the way the polygons were laid out meant that in remoing them I had to totally rebuild the back end between the stern chaser gunports and the triangular scroll work at the top. This has given a nice slightly curved stern that slopes inward from top to bottom. Plenty of flat space to add the windows to. Just having a few problems working out uv/texture mapping at the moment and finding time to get it all done - busy with work and family at the mo.

Have you worked out UV mapping yet Admiral Koch, I'm finding it frustrating?
 
what do you mean by curved? do you mean that when the windows are put in they'll have a curved look like with the pictures? [check my pic to see what i mean]d was this done on the original Governor's MOW or one of the others?
the front of the original red one has the closest matching cage [is that what its called? that cage like thing at the bow] and figurehead [i wish there was a way to make that] to the Victory's
 
I have now finished the model!!

just kidding, but it's a nice model... but might be a bit too detailed for the game, hehe
