What do you think? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
And another nice frigate! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
I wouldn't call her HMS <i>Constitution</i> mate... <i>Old Ironsides</i> won every battle she fought and was never taken a prize... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
You could call her HMS <i>Chesapeake</i> though... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Excellent reskin mate! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> Keep up the good work!

Hey... why don't ya make another reskin in French scheme? Then we'd have an <i>Acheron</i> for HMS <i>Surprise</i> to square off with! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
English, eh? Looks pretty good to me! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
Oh no, please not a french scheme for the Acheron <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

In the original Patrick O Brian novel, the enemy of the HMS surprise was an american privateer but as the movie was made in 2003, i let you guess why the bad boy had suddenly become french <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":whipa" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Beautiful ship <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Well, the Acheron isn't actually in any of the stories yet, so no worries there. Just a French Constitution retexture would be welcome, no? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Of course, i was just joking <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
As most people (including myself <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thwalkplank.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":walkplank" border="0" alt="thwalkplank.gif" /> ) know probably more the movie than the book, we need an acheron <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />
 
Oooh, that might be my new favorite frigate! The old POTC original frigates just can't hold a candle to some of the beautiful ships that have come out. Any chance you can upload that for others to use? :onya

Sorry for long time reply :D

Ah a reskin of the Consititution, i don't much like the one for the COAS version at the moment so this would be a welcome skin, now for my question is which games is this for ie, POTC, AOP or COAS?
 
Thanks, i will test it out in COAS and see. I will let you know if it works or not.;)
 
Bad news the textures for the Consititution does not change in COAS, here are the images i took of the Constitution after adding the new textures was added.








As anyone who has had the privlage of sailing the Constitution in COAS will say the textures haven't changed, a little annoying but that shows that the way the textures are added in COAS is some what different to both POTC and the original AOP. Anyway thank for the update and hope one day this new texture will be converted so that it does work in COAS, i backed up the original files luckily.
 
Well the funny thing about coas is that you sometimes have to start a new game on a new profile before changes take place.

And I assume you changed all 3 hull textures and not just 1?
Cause the textures are no diffrent in the diffrent games, they are all the same, so theres no reason why they shouldnt work, I retextured plenty of ships in coas, even using some textures from aop and build.
 
Ah thats where i went wrong, i'm new to moving files like these over so i thourght Hull 1 was the only part i needed to update, basically i updated the files in textures main folder then the textures in Hull 1 of the Constitution folder, i've now updated all 3 Hull folders and will check it out once i have time, thanks for your help. Oh, i do start a new game when trying out new mods so that won't be a problem.

Fixed now, thanks for your help and nice skin here are some pictures taken of what is only to be discribbed as an amazing ship.









 
Looks good ;)

Glad that you know how to test new textures now as well xD:
That is where PotC is so much easier (only need to put the one texture in the one folder) ;)
 
Changing textures or even model files never requires you to start a new game.
Only code changes could require that.

The AoP/CoAS three-texture system is cool though. I wonder if that can be extended for, say:
- Different Paint Jobs (no need for seperate models; just different textures)
- Model adjustments
