New Models!

Good to see you still around, @Martes! :cheers

AoS2 is a Storm Engine game too; right?
Do you know what's the best place to find the game files?
Suddenly I'm curious how difficult it might be to get this game on the Open Source track as well.

@Hammie, do you have any thoughts...?
(I'm thinking looooong-term here again!)

And if that is possible perhaps Sea Dogs 1 also would be. ;)
Though it should be more work than the others due to Storm 1 being the most different. (I think)
 
The engine is different from SD1, as far as I can tell, it's even older, and this one
They both use identical model and texture formats (cff/tf).

The engine itself consists of dll files (with separate dll for each feature: ship, camera, ai, interface, input, etc., so I suppose the code is uniquely suited for this game and little of it made it to Sea Dogs) located in "modules" folder, they are compiled from C++, and thus very difficult to reverse.

Graphical output is handled through DirectDraw, not Direct3D. SD1 used D3D, if I remember correctly.

Never heard of source code floating anywhere, although I would like very much to put my hands on it.

Practically, though, developing my last summer's experiments with Unity may bring better results, but I have almost no time at the moment :(

Shifted the stripes and gunports on both skins (Albion/Princess Royal) slightly higher forward (turned out they were out of sync with the plans for some reason):

Finally finished the rebuild of the Cambridge.
You know my love for Hohlenberg's designs :)

Greetings,

First post, specifically because I really like AoS. and AoS2 PB and the work done here, but what happened? Sorry to necro this thread, I would just love to see a AoS2PB remake, or a mod that redoes the ships, sea and land, In other words some eyecandy.

Anyway, awesome work while It lasted.

Cheers

It's not completely dead, I just moved most of the showcase over to a ModelShipWorld forum:

Age of Sail 2 - 3d ship models for PC wargame

I wanted to show a project I have been working for some time now - since discovering the way to import models to this old, but still very capable game. I aimed to replace all the line of the ship models in the game, starting with frigates (as they were abysmally horrible), and over time I think I...
