Solved Updating the Interface Textures

[KillPhil]

Okay.. it works
I put the sail-splashing effects after the emerge on the right height and left one step out, because it gets too much otherwise. I simply outcommented the step, so if we want to set it to default sometimes in the future, its still there

EDIT: Goddamnit!! The outcomment is no good^^ give me a second for the very very last NK.c file ...

 

[KillPhil]

okay.. that should be it now ^^
only 2 "problems":
1. If you speed-up the time with R, the PostEvent-time speeds up, too. That means if you are at e.g. 3x Time-Rate the scene-music starts a bit too early
2. If there's a scene change e.g. open sea -> battle , the game will load the new scene-music, ignoring my code^^

I think I have to look for a better function for the future. But I think it is enough for now as it is.

Cassadar, do you have resource\textures\INTERFACES\PORTRAITS\256\FACE_307.TGA.tx .
Should be Woodes Rogers' portrait file, but I don't seem to have it.

 

[Cassadar]

Looks like there is no 256 portrait for him. It's not in my Beta 2.5 backup.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Hmm.... Perhaps Jack Rackham never made one because he'll never be an officer of yours then....
Thanks for confirming.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Cassadar, did you manage to get anywhere with those Sail-To icons?
If it is not working out, I can see what I can sort out myself. We could keep a fair bit the same if need be.

 

[Cassadar]

Not yet. People just won't leave me alone at the moment with their deadlines, which they ignored successfully for the last months, so I have to solve that stuff for them (again). And when there is some free time, I mostly don't want to do anything, because I'm totally blank and tired.
It's just voluntary work, so resigning from their project sounds very appealing at the moment. You're fed up with this after some years.

I'll start with these sail icons in an hour or two; slept almost the whole day.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Ouch; sorry to hear about the worries these people give you.

Anyway, you don't have to do those icons. I could figure something out if you're too busy for now.
I don't want to make this voluntary work as annoying for you as those other people apparently do!

 

[Cassadar]

Nah, it's okay. Taking screenies just now, so hopefully the icons are ready tomorrow, or Monday. But you can make the fort pictures if you want.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Fort pictures, eh? Sure can do. Will look into them tomorrow.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

You wanted forts? Here's part 1!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

And part two too. Let me know if you can or cannot work with these.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

It does seem that most of the forts look very much the same. The only one that is REALLY different is the Cartagena one.

 

[Cassadar]

Icons; two readme files included.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Wow, awesome! Let me have a look at that!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Here's the first ingame screenshot:

I still have to adapt all the other islands accordingly, but it looks to be working nicely!
Those borders do look a bit wider than the accompanying ones on the ship icons though.

Edit: Same for the blue one. See this comparison:

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Found some towns still missing:
Havana (Cuba)
Santiago (Cuba)

For now, will use the Port Royal (Jamaica) and Speightstown (Barbados) or them.
The shores you couldn't access are for quest purposes only, but they use existing shore models,
so I set up the code to reuse the correct pictures for those.

 

[Cassadar]

Funny, I completely forgot Cuba. Not in the mood for that now though, so I'll do this later.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Not a problem. It is all pretty nearly perfect as it is! I just completed all the relevant coding and it looks to be working fine.
Really nice to having everything matching up! Should help to remind people where they're going too.
Even if people can't remember the town names, they can now just remember what they look like.
