I have ported fredbobs gunboat ingame, with new texture, BUT the problem with the ship is, there is water in the hull:

We have a little problem here <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> Go to the ship_init.c file and look for Fred Bob's Gunboat.
change the line refShip.waterline = 0.0 to -0.1 or more which will reset the
waterline higher. You may have to experiment with the settings 0.1 will set it deeper
and -0 will set it higher. I reset quite a few of the smaller ships because of the wrong settings( I feel).
You don't notice it with the bigger ships! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
thanks nosie! Maybe i am gonna port some more ships, and release all my ships that i have ported or made in 1 pack!

Is there someone who can give me the stock POTC landing boat? so i can make a longboat.
 
The Gunboat is made by Skelly Bob, Fred Bob packed it for the game. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />

That looks awesome!

I've been busy myself modding my sound effects and cleaning up the sound alias_sound scheme.....adding sounds from PotC etc.

I have the Akella Age of Sail 2-Privateers Bounty .PAK files ( SHP format) for models, textures etc, and tried using GM viewer, tx converter and paint shop pro but have had no luck extracting the SHP files. Iam new to modeling, but I was wondering if Thomas or someone could add them to the game if I upload to the FTP?

Thanks!
 
SHP format? mmmmm, we should first try them to converted to GM, could you please upload them, so that i can take a look at them? Don`t know if i am going to succeed, with the different type of models
 
Right on, glad to hear you will give it a shot. I read awhile back here that Phaser knows how, perhaps we could PM him if we had too.

My mistake though, the files are not SHP, there in .PAK files, Ive run into them in Rome:Total War, but they're .pak extractor did not work with them. I bundled them in a compressed file in the FTP, 97.4 mb so it's gonna take awhile. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

edit: Having no luck with the upload, server is timing out on me after a min or 2. Any other sites I could send this too?
 
I know how to port, but i dont know if i am going to succeed to turn them into gm files. first we should turn the pak files into obj, or vrml, wrl, then the vrml and wrl files could be turned into gm files by Inez diaz tools, and the obj files could be turned into gm files by the gm viewer.

Why dont you first try to pick 1 ship+ texture on the FTP, so i can try to convert it, and if it succeeds, you can send the whole pack.

I have found a program that unpacks .PAK i don `t know if it is the right one, but put 1-5 ships on the FTP so i can try.
 
Hey Thomas

I would gladly love too, but each pack is over 20 mb's and though i have high-speed internet, my connection to the FTP disconns after 300kb's.

I'll upload what i can though so you can see. Perhaps firefront or another site perhaps?
 
Good News!

Uploaded the entire file in no time to FileFront, now awaiting approval from the mods there ok it for download.
Will post a linky once thats done <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

Any luck yet with the pak files? Very curious here <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
No non, nada nothing, ALL the extractors i have used, dont recognize the pak files. sorry
maybe there is a modding community for that game, and maybe they know how to.
 
I checked back through my old community ( ive been an active online member there for years "in-game" as well, as the real fun was fighting online) and found some old info.

This .pak extractor was made by akella for the privateers bounty patch and supposedly can extract the .pak files.
I couldnt get it to work properly, so perhaps you or someone else could, hopefully <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

I believe you have to register first, but the file is in the Patches section for Privateers Bounty, specifically PB version 1.04.151. There arent any real directions that i have seen to use it, except whats in the patch read-me.
Hopefully you have some luck with it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Dat lil' boat be called Skelly Bob's Gunboat! Fred Bob merely took his model files and using NK's and somebody else's ship system, created modded files fer addin' it as a unique ship rather than replacin' an existin' one! Later, me modded files and Skelly Bob's files got added tew PotC Build 12. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Glad ye be werkin' on addin' it tew AoP, Thomas! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
