Its the program that lets you create items and skins and ships. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" />
 
There´s no special program to add new things. You can edit skins with graphic programs like Photoshop or Paintshop, ships based on models that are already in the game are done by adding them to the shipsinit.c file, dito items.

To create a ship model, you need a 3d editing software, something most certainly most of the people around here do _not_ have. And I don´t know anything about modelling at all to advise you what exactly you need or how to do it. As far as I know, that´s the most difficult part.
 
There are a whole list of "modding tools" on the PotC Wiki, plus tutorials & more - <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic1561.php" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic1561.php</a>

Also, Inez Dias has her Tool for making lots of changes in existing models: <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic3310.php" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic3310.php</a>

3D modeling programs include 3D Studio Max, and Maya - if you decide to try Maya, you must have Maya 4.5 ONLY if you want to use the Akella .gm conversion plugin. Otherwise Inez's Tool has conversion from VRML, I believe.

Grimm has already mentioned Photoshop or Paintshop, and there's a free graphics program called "GIMP" which is amazingly `full-featured` for a free program... You can find it for your specific system if you Google search...

Any questions, please feel free to ask, we'll be happy to help! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

I would suspect blender 3d is a viable option and free as well <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />[/quote]
 
Kendrick, if you can export from Blender 3D to VRML, yes, indeed! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Thanks for the tip! <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" />
