Just discovered that the Chinese MMPORG <a href="http://www.3game3.com" target="_blank">Voyage Century</a>
uses the same file formats as POTC (gm for models, tga.tx for textures, ani for animations)!

It also uses the same script - obviously it's based on the storm engine.
 
Nice! <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" />
So? What can we "borrow"? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
New ships, new characters, everything.

In principle all of it - legally nothing, I guess. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
WOW! That's impressive. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
Never mind the legal issues. We're PIRATES! <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" />
 
Could you tell me where I could download the game? Never mind the size, I'm running on DSL. Or if you can't post it here, send it to my e-mail:
marko010@hotmail.com <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" />
 
From the link in the first post you can download the client, and it's officially available, so no need for secrecy here. It's about one gig and has lots of models.
To play it you need to connect to a server, but that doesn't currently seem to be working (beta), and I suppose eventually they'll charge for it.
 
Thanks alot !!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbs1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":2up" border="0" alt="thumbs1.gif" />
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> I agree totally, were pirates, why not plunder, thats what we doo, if it will "help out" the build team i suppose ya do it. Im downloading it right now, and im going to see whats inside, take what i want and rest walk the plank <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />

And its a bummer that your site is all messy there pieter, but i got a ? that probably everyone knows already, that is when do you know when the new build will be ready, a month, 2 you donno, something to keep us newbies on our toes, but now with this "new plunder" i bet your going to be a busy bee.
 
What you plunder for your private purposes is of course entirely up to you, but I don't think we can put any of it into the build.
 
<img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> ...i agree ...somewhat, but you must also think about how much more they can add, as well as how sooner they could come to completion, Dias mentioned there in the same format and everything. sooooooo the few outway the need of the many,(sometimes) however, it will be up to the entire build team to discuss and deside on if they wish to "borrow" this new found treasure,ya have to agree with that matey, as for myself, i plan to "mabey" use what i can, im still new to all this, but with all the reading i have done in these last weeks, i sort of have an idea, and thank everyone for the answers to the questions i never had to ask. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

I could understand that we couldn't use these in the build, but could anyone at least share how to put these in-game if we want to use them for our own personal use? Or at least tell us how to overwrite existing models (i.e. if the Man-of-War model is better than the stock PotC or whatever)?

The modpack is currently on hold and nothing really new will be added anymore. We're working on bugfixing, but with Nathan Kell not being very active at the moment, bugfixing might go quite slow. I don't know when a new Build update will be available. Once the bugs are fixed enough to make the modpack stable. It already is playable, but stable...? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

I`ve taken alook at the site. It looks like it`s worth downloading but I can`t get any information in English. I don`t speak German. My Dutch is reasonable (I live in Holland. The other end of the dijk from you Pieter) and I haven`t used French since I was at school (20 years ago). What I`d like to know is,is the game in English.

You can't play the game anyway if you can't connect to the server - you can only download the client and look at the models and things. And no, I don't think it's in English yet - at an exposition in Germany they showed a running version in Chinese and a demo in German. But I think it will be translated to English.
 
As i mentioned before, in a last post that i was downloading it, well it took forever, but i had a chance to look at some of the models with the viewer, and im even more impressed, really , i mean really nice officer uniforms, now if i can just figure out how to get just 1 in the game that works and all, cause there all mised up.

I tried puting a model in the game lastnight, i got it somewhat to work.....kinda, it showed a white figure so i guess i missed something in the texture department. "If, and i mean a big "IF" i can get one working, i'll let you's know, but it will take a bit, cause the files ... are well... all mixy kinda sorta.

Hey benbow, ya wanted some info in english .. well there ya go.

<a href="http://www.3game3.com/html_en/" target="_blank">http://www.3game3.com/html_en/</a>

enjoy to your hearts content.( the game is as it was but here is where ya get the info "in english" this time. ha ha
 
Look into system.log, that should tell you which texture the game can't find and where it expects that texture. Then copy the texture into that folder and it should work.
But how about animations? Does it work with man.an? - I haven't tried yet. I suppose you'll have to figure out the correct animation file and put it into POTC's animation directory, also. Otherwise the model will just wobble a little like a drunken doll.
 
Wow dias that just answered my "going to be" question, i new i was missing something..... and another thing, i tried putting a ship in. it kinda worked, but was missing the masts and the sails,and the paths were all wierd but, i know i still have a little work, so im going to use wikki's to see if i missed anything. I am trying to put that "login" ship in (i think you know whitch 1 I mean), now thats a man o war for ya. And thanks again for "wabbably drunkard" animation thing, i would'nt have thought, i'll keep trying and give an update for the ppl wanting to know how to do it, but it will have to wait till i figure it out, or they do it first , whatever comes first. but the ship i did manage to get partially in, damm looks nice, cant wait till i get it to work, im sure some ppl would be proud for a "newbie" to do a mission imposible,but im sure it can be done, with a little help from the experts.
