New character

... so then quartermaster Petra sez "Now can I go to the Governor's Ball?"
<img src="http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/7888greeb/580726.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

to which I repliez, "Be ye daft woman? That there be for rich town folk, RICH folk ... not ship's officers wear'n drapes!"
 
I bet she'll be the queen of the ball ...

Actually we could do that: change the model to have characters wear different clothes - now that'll be a *real* tailor's mod...

How about a gown for Claire also ? Afraid now all of your girls will want to go to the ball <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

VERY nice, very pretty... Only thing is, purple (well, and black, too) was considered back then to be ONLY for nobility... British sumptuary laws... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Doesn't mean we have to ADHERE to those rules! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Love the idea about the "have the model change clothes", Inez... It's like Nathaniel with or without the armor. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

That would be neat, characters with both pants and skirt versions! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

Hmm that would take work.
Claire was originally Barbossa, face and all, so the face is unique!
We'd have to get Lass to remove the hat and then do a head switch with TG4, TG7, or now TG5.

No,we don't.
If we got too realistic, then we would have to allow "one shot kills" as well, wouldn't we? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />

Then we can spawn the civvies as well as the captain.
Or if the captain is a pirate or something, send you there before boarding to do a duel...

We should use the same interface to allow talking peaceably with a friendly captain; allow 'fake boarding' for friendly ships, where you teleport straight to the cabin and talk with the captain.
Do some goods-trading, swap passengers, check news, etc.
<div align="right">[snapback]126213[/snapback]</div><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Friggin' sweet, these are ideas I've been looking for for a while. In addition to trading needed goods (a la Oregon Trail I might say) or maybe donating some food or repair items for a rep up, I'd like to see 'boarding' friendly ships as a sort of quest generator for receiving tips on nearby fleets or (maybe eventually) famous pirates.

An individual duel with a captain would also be a great reason to start using all our extra pirate skins.

Related thought: Passengers as a sort of cargo item, for transporting new colonists to some town (or prisoners to some jail); they wouldn't affect your crew count but could they be made to deplete your food supplies?
 
Oh also I was going to ask: Could we make it so we survive losing a boarding fight? I can get through losing a fight on land or at sea, I can bounce back, but I always have to load a new game when I get stabbed too many times on a boat and it is the height of frustration to lose boarding attempts repeatedly. It would be a soothing balm if I might survive in some meagre capacity... suppose we steal from SMP! and have you wind up in jail if you lose to a formal nation, and either marooned or put in some cave prison if you lose to pirates... it would just be a new challenge, having to pick a lock (-hopefully- you bought a lockpick from a sneaky trader) or chop down trees and build a raft... and if we do it this way I wouldn't have to make them random starting scenarios.
 
Good to see you back in business, Petros. And with such a nice lady too - did you find her on your vacation? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

Ahem, anyway, yes, some girls (a la my TG5D (towngirl 5 / Danielle) may want to attend a ball now and then... Even Blazie may want to do it, but probably more for the reason to gather some information. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Ahem, anyway, if you need your head swapped, don't look at me (Petros can tell you that), but if you got a model that needs the head replaced, er, or the body, as it may be, drop me a PM or a note somewhere here on the board. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Now I am off again for now, ho hum! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sailr.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":sail" border="0" alt="sailr.gif" />
 
Rich girl/Gov daughter Petra2 is up on FTP
... where I've put all the other tavern sluts and brothel chicks.

<img src="http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/7888greeb/588535.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
 
She looks great, Petros! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> Another fine job well done! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Here is my recommendation for Raoul Rheims.

I should be able to have "50_Raoul" up on ftp with all the portraits and files some time this week.

Edit:
Done, files are up!
<img src="http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/7888greeb/619878.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
 
Another fine piece of work. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
He looks great, Petros, dastardly and dangerous! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
Hey! THANKS!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
He will be replacing Raould as soon as I update my modpack!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />
 
Looks great. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

Very sly... damned scrub.

I trust you mean he will be replacing "50Evil2in" as the model for Rheims!

A favor to ask, can I send you an updated skin for "50_Boss1" to include in the update?

I noticed that if you use the character as an officer, boarder, or your own character, from the back, the bandana does not look right.
I fixed it.

Do you even have to ask? Of course you can! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
So this is probably a dumb question but how do you switch out characters? Obviously you need a new character file but where do you put it and then what program file do you need to edit?
 
If you want to add a new character to your game, download the new character file (from the FTP), then view the installation instructions that are in there somewhere. All the 50_something.zip files are character files made by Petros; they're all on the FTP. You will be able to buy the skins from the tailor's shops. In the F2 Character screen, you can press the "Choose Oufit" button and then you can choose the outfit for the character.
BTW: All new character skins will be added to the Post Build 12 modpack, so if you wait for a bit, you won't have to add them yourself. Unless you don't want to use the Post B12 modpack.
