This is my first attempt at skinning, I made everything on this sloop from scratch. Let me know what you think. Sorry it's kinda far away.
 
Wow, good job, Doober. Nicely done!

you talk about the ship in the background? well that skin is somewhat boring.

but the ship in the center of the picture sure has a very nice paintjob.
very nice.
 
That's pretty good. Congratulations! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
Yay! I like it too - nice work Doober <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Thanks all! I thought it was kinda silly that sloops were the most common ship in the caribbean, but there are only two of them in the game. My next project is reworking the Indiaman. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Nice <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Now why couldn't Akella have done that?
 
those weathered sails are good! maybe you should put some patches because of damage in the past. make it look like those sails have been used for years or something. i always thought that the sails where to white.
 
The sails are from a mod, anyway that sloop is excellent <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> very nice work!! really! i hope we'll soon be able to take her for a ride!
 
It is in the Build 13 betas. Actually, I think it is the default setting in there. If you go into the buildsettings.h and look for sail options, it is the POTBS sails.
 
Hmmm, I'm not sure, I would have to test it out. When I make changes like that, I usually do it by changing the buildsettings. Pieter or someone else could answer that better than me.
 
Those sails look like that because of the white sails mod I made. I had actually forgotten I had also made that mod. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

Anyway: I made that mod because I found that the emblemed sails with nation logos were fun, but not really realistic. So I made a mod that will replace those sails with white sails instead. There are two white sail types to choose from: AoP sails and the PotBS sails. I personally like the PotBS sails a lot, so I set those as the default sails. However, you can change the sails to your liking with the following BuildSettings.h toggles:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->#define DEFAULT_SAILS    2    // 0: Stock default: All ships plain white, pirates plain black
                                        // 1: Age of Pirates: All ships AoP white sails
                                        // 2: Pirates of the Burning Sea: All ships PotBS white sails
                                        // 3: All ships emblemed white sails, pirates emblemed black sails
#define PIRATES_BLACK_SAILS    0    // 0: Pirates use the same sails as DEFAULT_SAILS
                                        // 1: Pirates use emblemed black sails<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->It is not possible to choose the sails in the sails interface, because I couldn't figure out how to get that to work. So you need to select the sails you like in BuildSettings.h, but keep in mind that these settings apply to all other ships as well. Only the player can override the default settings using the sails interface.

I would have liked all ships to get different types of sails at random, but I didn't manage that. It became too random: Every time you saw the same ship, it'd have other sails. And even worse, the main sails sometimes looked different from the jibs. Waaay weird. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
