Replacement Pirate Chief

yeah, i remembered after i logged off the forum. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" /> as i said so myself, i've never seen myself as a pirate chief. how about skull? that skin seems about right.
 
I really don't have any skin in particular in mind. I'll leave that up to you more creative types. I don't want him to look like some kind of administrator though. Along with meeting him in his house at QC, I would like to wrok in some encounters where you meet him out and about.
 
skull is the typical piratical character though. sir christopher mings made that skin.
 
Hey! Using Skull isn't a bad idea at all. I like that! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

From your name; you and Skull probably have a lot in common! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":beer" border="0" alt="beer2.gif" />

Here's a picture of the model I changed and named after Skull:

<img src="http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/332ZK34H/1106290.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

I took the retexture of the Barbossa model that Verruckt did, and switched his head with the bocman model and gave him a tricorn. The model has been worked on since this picture by Damski62 and me, and his arms are a lot straighter now. The really cool feature to the model was added by Damski62, who copied Skull's skull-and-crossbones-eye avatar and set up the texture so one of the eyes on the model has this eye. (You can see a picture if you follow this thread; <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=11827)" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?showtopic=11827)</a>

The model is only on the FTP in a folder named Another Fine Mesh, and then a folder named Skull, and I replaced the texture I put in there for the head with the one Damski62 made.

I may be working on that model again, and I'll let you know if I am able to make any changes. One thing I wanted to do, that I may have figured out how to do now, was to add a brace of pistols to the model's baldric. ( I figure the real Skull would have a couple extra pistols handy just for company... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shoot.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shoot:" border="0" alt="shoot.gif" /> )

Feel free to use the model if you like. I'm giving permission however, after all the effort Damski62 has put into the model, and Verruckt, it isn't really my model, but I don't think either of them would mind me doing this... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />o) (Is the whistling smiley working? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> No, Doh! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> )
 
Thanks, Sir Christopher Mings. Looking at the screenshots of the model again, I think he'd make a great replacement pirate chief. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
told you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Yes you did. And I already agreed with you that time as well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
 
Thanks to Morgan for the suggestion, to Mings for the permission, and to Pieter for his affirmation. Snake it will be. Now I'm going to have to go back and read a bunch of Snake's old posts to try to write some dialog that would be in character. I have already gone through all of Jurcksen's dialogs and "salted" them up some. And yes, Mings, as I sit here sucking down Mojitos I suspect Snake and I do share some common interests. I have 5 different varieties of rum in the cupboard, and 3 in this drink! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
 
He's called Skull. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Blame the Mojitos! I knew that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
He is a bit like that Teague Sparrow guy in AWE. The definition of a pirate chief is too look dangerous and not too young. Good choice I think <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Had a chance to work on the Skull model and I hope you like the results:

Both of these models are currently on the FTP if you feel like looking at them. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
Just as cool here as in the other thread. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Sorry I have been out of touch for a bit, the better half had surgery a couple of weeks ago and my 7 year old son has taken over my POTC game! Thanks for the skin, Mings. That will do nicely! Should be just the motivation I need to get some more work done on this quest.
 
Would be most welcome. I'd love to have Skull in there. With a bit of luck, it shouldn't be that hard to actually put him on QC after the original main quest. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
