Sailing under new skies

Hello all! A long time no see isn't it, sorry for my absence but my studies and my real life are consuming the most part of my time

Anyway, i managed to make something i wanted since a very long time...

As the title says, i managed to replace Potc skies by Aop skies, i think the result is not bad... The only sky i couldn't adapt is the night sky because in aop stars are due to dynamic lights and not to textures,

Here is a part of the result :

Feel free to use it as you want, you'll find it on the ftp under the folder "AOP SKIES"

By the way, while i'm here, i had a question,

I would be very happy to get <i>Chocolate Bill's Surprise</i> ingame, and <i>i would have liked to know where i can find this model</i>, to try to get it ingame by myself, (more easy to say than to do, i know, but i'd try as i like this model very much).

as i understood there was a lighting glitch with this ship, or it was more important? Is it a bug that makes the ship really unpleasant or unavailable to use? Couldn't we try to add it in the build, since as we know more things than before on adding new ships models into the game? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> It would be too bad to forget such a model and a potential new ship for this reason don't you think?

Anyway i hope you're all ok and i wish all the best to you all <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
SEB! Nice seeing you again! How are you doing? We've recently been working on adding most of your ship reskins into the game, so I think I now have pretty much all of your ships in my game as seperate ships. This is done for the Build 14 Alpha versions though and part of it has not yet been released at all. Still: We're working on it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

The Surprise already is in Build 13. Ingame name "British Frigate"; codename "Surprise". There's a better version in Alpha 7 or Alpha 7 Plus (don't remember) that has a reversed lighting effect (when the sun/moon is on one side, the hull is lighted as if its on the other side). This isn't a very bad bug though.
 
I feel ok, despite an huge quantity of work and my ill girlfriend which i must take care of <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I kept an attentive eye on the forum those last months and i'm using Build A7 (not the plus version for the reasons we know).
I effectly saw some of the textures i did adapted as entire ships and i felt very touched of that <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I got Inzane's surprise in the build update, but i was talking about another surprise model, that have haunted the forum for a longtime now, this one :

<img src="http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/6ue-l.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

<a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6585&st=40" target="_blank">http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php...=6585&st=40</a>

Do you remember?

If i remind the things correctly, the attempts to put this model ingame had failed, but i was wondering, if, with the new things we know about putting knew models ingames, we couldn't try once again, such a ship, too bad we can't use it...

An if nobody has the time to do to that, a thing i understand perfectly, i was wondering were i could get this model, to try by myself, when i'll have time, of course i'll have to learn everything from scratch, and i don't think i will succeed but i was wondering where this model could be found now <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

But if someone who as much more knowledges than me wants to try to get that ship working huhu <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> feel free <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
I don't know anything of that ship. As far as I know it was never released, therefore there's nothing much we can do. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
Me wants those skies. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />
 
Then from the FTP you downloads them! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Seb,
I guess you might want to PM Chocolate Bill and Inzane about this.

DOH! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> ..i swear i haven't noticed this folder before.

Another wise/stupit question ..how to install/include it? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
By the looks of it: Just put the files into RESOURCE\Textures\WEATHER\SKIES. In the same folder structure as on the FTP, of course. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
Okay ..just making things sure. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
i never paid that much attention to the skies, so i don;t know about that. how about adding both and making them a random selection? having the same skies over and over is actually a bit odd. meanwhile, that is a GORGEOUS ship! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> the bow's perfect! i've rarely seen such a nicely made one!

How about a ship with actual quarter galleries and a good tumblehome! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> EXCELLENT! Who made that?!

If you are talking about the ship Seb is looking for, it was being done by Chocolate Bill who had trouble getting it the right size and in game.

Inzane was supposed to start helping him with getting it in game and that was a year and a half ago.
 
i think i've read something like that. first it ended up the size of a boot, and then it was a large as the entire island! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
And we haven't heard from Inzane in ages either. Which is unfortunate. He might be able to solve our reversed lighting issue in a minute.

Drat. i wish someone could tell me how to FIX this reversed lighting ..i DO know a thing what could possibly fix the reversed lighting but i needs to have maya 4.5 to test it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
