Surprise!!!!!

hey inzane, am i to assume that the lowe gundeck has exact same guns as the top deck? if that is so, id recommend replacing the mounts with the fixed mounts that the top gundeck has, this wouldnt be a problem since one wouldnt see much of the gun carrige detail, thus it would reduce the amount of polies

the ship is as is,I lost all my work files to build her. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> .I do plan on building other ships down the road. mostly for AOP.I noticed almost all the ships in AOP look like junk and are just ugly.there are 3 ships that are ok the sloop Lugger and Pinnace.all the others look weird or faked.I have a list of ships I want to put in.Privateer Lynx and Dark Prince, HMS Pelican, HMS Alalanta.And The Surprise with a full Stern.just to name a few.first one is the Lynx.I just got a copy of her blueprint. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> shes fast and built for raiding and blockade running.I wanted to build her for POTBS.but they have the cut off date of 1740.maybe after a while they will wake up and put all those post 1740 ships back in.

Ah, actually i managed to load in your ship into milkshape3d, the only problem is have have no vrml97 tool and milkshape has a poly limit <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

I hope you consider making future ships functional for both PoTC and AoP <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />, is there any difference in the scale?

<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> No everything works the same.but in AOP they have the program folder compressed,but there is a way around it.

so we may be able to see cross compatible mods in the future maybe?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
looks that way.
 
It is on the old FTP. I checked. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
The new FTP is at ftp.piratesahoy.ORG instead of on ftp.piratesahoy.net in case you didn't know. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
She's beutiful, alltho is this an older model? her textures are different an she lacks cannon ports. (the lo version had em but closed)
 
over 100000 faces with cannons!

and 27488 without cannons. inzane, could i have your permission to attempt to install lower poly guns on your ship and perhaps a few other details?

thanks, I completely forgot about that <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> I haven't been here for a while

Yep, it is a older version <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> I couldn't find the new textures for it

Thank ye m8 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

To be honest i was hoping you'd say yes so ive been playing around a bit already. but i did not expect the results...

<img src="http://www.hibiscus-sinensis.com/alexraptor/newguns2.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />

Look at those guns... look at the smoothness of the barrels.
the low end version of the surprise you released... had over 60000 faces
That pic is the high end hull, and with those guns and cannon ports... ......its about 58000 faces.

Ive gotten it in game, alltho i am having a problem that the lighting is reversed. instead of the sun hitting port side from above, it illuminates the hull from the starboard side below, compleatly oposite of where the sun it
 
Aye,she's one fine look'n ship te be sure,it would be great if ye could lower the Poly's MM,so people with lower end computers could enjoy sail'n this fine ship <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
