Small Frigate

'Chocolate' Bill...I think your work is really grand!. Even if it never gets into the game, and I know that is not your intention, it is a lovely work. Here is too finishing it nicely.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->in the main deck...next to middle mast, there is that rotating device(don't know his name...) isn't it a litle offscale in comparisson to the rest of the ship? should it not be at the same scale as the steering whell? just cuz the ship looks a bit odd like that,<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I believe "Bloody Pirate" that is what was referred too as the "capstan" and was used too lift the anchors off the bottom. There is an excellent scene in the movie Treasure Island 1989 ( The One with Charlton Heston ) of the crew using it on the H.M.S. Bounty, which of course they used for the "Hispaniola" for the movie.

Bye the Bye....If you do get into Ship Building the Spanish Ships of the 1790's Nelson era would make beautiful addition to this game.....IMHO
 
To Bloody Pirate: Big flags are possible on ships. Petros' Light Frigate 2 has a large flag near the back. I wished I knew how to add those though.

As far as I am concerned, if you make 3D ships for PotC and are done in a year or so, I'll still add them. I don't know how active the PotC community will be in a year, but I really do hope we don't lose all our work because all people will move over to AoP. Merging both games would be great, but I fear it might not work out too well... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

You need a 3D program (3D Studio MAX, for example) to make 3D models for PotC. 3DS MAX can export to vrml and Inez Dias' tool can convert vrml to gm for usage in PotC, I think. I once converted a PotC model to another game (sailing simulator: Virtual Sailor), though never got done with it.
 
nice, now that i have some spare time, i can try to make something, any clue where i can find blueprints and pics of ships???

especilly spanish ships... with 3d studio max i can work, my father teached me a year ago how o make stuff with it, the bad part will be putting the ship in game, as i don't know POTC code..i really suck big time at that, well i don't have much time to study it, and try to learn it, but at least the 3d part i can try, i was thinking of some merchant/pirate, frigate ships...

just a curiosity, why do you think merging POTC and AOP would be a bad idea? fo what i've read, AOP, is little more than a new engine, for the modding comunity to work on, much is still the same, and much of what we r waiting is not so good as our hopes... judging by the pic, the engine is not much diferent and the code might reflect just that..and although i find the ships in POTC a bit simple, and low poly, i would still like to see some, if not all, in AOP, even if it would be for the randomization sake..
I LOVE POTC, but im longing to be able to migrate to AOP, but POTC will always be POTC, The Build and Post Build Rocks!!!
 
I don't think merging PotC and AoP is a bad idea at all. It's a great idea. I'm just afraid that the code will be quite different, so merging it will be rather a hard job. But imagine how wonderful a game would be if you merged AoP with PotC with Build 12 with Post Build 12 with the A&M Mod and all other mods! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />
 
@ Long John:

First of all: hi! <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" />

It would be cool, if you'd start building other ships.
But, don't worry about blueprints, i got very much of them from frigates & co.
So, if u do need somes, send me a pm with your email adress and i'll send u all the pics. they're like the one below.

I prefer 3dsmax for building, 'cause this is one of the easiest programs and you will find enough tutorials or help-files for the building. But it will take some time, till you can build easiely the models. i'm still leraning, too, there are so many features.... But you can use Maya or else too!

If you got any questions, send me a pm =)
 
i m gonna try and use the program im familiar with, as for possible candidates for moddeling, i ll have to look into it...any site where i might look for ships, theiir pics, and possible dimensions\bluprints...
 
when does the bloody ship get finished <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> i cant wait <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
I dare say... AMAZING! Will this be released in the next build?! I hope so... would make a fine ship in my squadron. Keep up the GREAT work! If not in the next build, release it in the first AoP mod!
 
It will be in the first modpack that is made after she is released. However, I'm not making her, so I don't know when she'll be released. I hope soon, of course. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

at the moment i'm making a little lerning break for my tests coming in 2 weeks, but then i'll start finishing her <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

I dotn think MSN dauntless is a real ship i way be wrong?

HMS SURPRISE????? there nothing remotely special about it, it only served 6 years in the navy before being sold of in 1803!

U do know that master&Commander isnt real?
 
i know that master and commander isn't real, but that is what this new frigate model that Chocolate Bill is doing is based on, its kind of like the future salute i'll give him when im sailling around sinking things in his ship

and the dauntless isn't a real ship, but it was the sovereign of POTC, even though it didn't fire an impressive shot at all in the film.
all the other ships are real.
and the way i ment it is that i have 4 Manowars in game named those names, and i have plans for the frigate once its released.
 
ehhe the dauntless is real <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />


real <a href="http://www.warship.get.net.pl/WBrytania/Cruisers/C_1918_Danae_class/Dauntless_03.jpg" target="_blank">dauntless</a>
 
hardly a sail ship, i dont think this is suppose to be a HMS surprise, theres someone else working on one that went cold
