A humble preview of me fighting the commander of a English ship.
 
Very nice work mate ... very nice indeed.

I really like the authentic look of your French and British crew uniforms and I am hoping that you will be keeping up that wonderfull skinning frenzy. The Dutch awaits your talent Sir!

May your skinning endeavour be long and successfull and last but not least - included in the next installment of the AOP SuperMod.

Thank you for all your hard work!

All the best

Excellent skinning work, Thomas. I hope you might be willing to help me with skinning some of my ships once I get the models finished up and UV's and such setup. I'll keep you informed on whats going on there. Rebuilding my junk once again. Still being frustrated by my attempts to loft the hulls correctly.

Actually, I think these should not be part of the Super Mod,
as an independent re-skinning mod, users would have the choice
to apply the skins to the Starfart game or to the SuperMod.
At their whim.
(And I am using them that way now.)

But, Its your choice there TTT.
 
I think 'independent' mods, should still take care to make sure they are compatible with SuperMod, as I believe SuperMod will be the most widely used base mod.

Just my opinion though.

It looks like Thomas' skins would be compatible with just about any variant of AOP, but you never know

There is 1 file changed that is also changed in the French and the English marine files and also in the Super Mod.

So it may have to be blended.
 
Maybe we could add a toggle to the supermod, just like in POTC buildsettings and the supermod setup, so you can choose:
1. Stock soldiers
2. Only Reskinned french
3. Only Reskinned English
4. Both English and French reskinned

I dont think i am going to reskin the dutch, the dutch stock soldiers are the only soldiers where i am happy with, and i don`t know how they SHOULD look differently
 
I could make the option to change skins when someone wants to like i did with the music choice, but it would also be cool if you did the dutch so we have the entire collection to add.

Well in POTC, the Dutch looked quite different from the ones in AOP. Maybe you can give the soldiers their armor back? Though that would surely involve moding the 3D model, not just the texture. Or, you could use the AOP Spanish as the model, assuming that the general consesus is that the Dutch should have armor :p
 
thanks for the suggestions, but i dont think that the armor of POTC was correct, if you look at paintings of Dutch soldiers of that time, they are more correct with the ones with AOP, but their officers look like POTC frenchies with armor, and if you look at the Nachtwacht (Nightwatch) They don`t really have a uniform (They didnt even had similair weapons! Merchants had very rich decorated muskets, and the poor ones really poor muskets (every one had to buy their own weapon). But i shall search if i can find some better uniforms
 
Now i in the Royal Navy mood am, i thougth that those officers need REAL Royal Navy ships so i have made:

I am not ready yet, i need to lower the sails of rey_a2 and rey_a3, and i need to add some more ropes. (My first "nice" rigging work <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />)
 
I have updated the mod:

This mod changes the year into 1707, and changes the St. George cross into a blue ensign, and
there are 10 new models, 4 luitenants, 2 captains (these are boarding models) 2 commodores,
and 2 warant officers (blue with orange, like the guys who arrest Will Turner in POTC DMC)
these characters overwrite the english officers who are normally walking in the streets. Also
Jamaica is now English, but it is still called Santiago Vega.

I put screens up tomorrow.
