War Galleon

[Petros]

In POTC out of need for survival, one is pushed rapidly from Lugger to Xebecs, Corvettes, Frigates, and Lineships.

Some of us I'm sure miss the lines and beauty of the Caravel, Flute and Galleon.

So I've gone retro and made a War Galleon.
Not an `Uber-ship`, just something that can compete with Corvettes and frigates, but still has that old "Spanish Main" charm.

Here you see it framed by the POTC standard Galleon on the left and the Heavy Galleon on the right.<img src="http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/7888greeb/318502.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

Fine! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" />
New clothes for those ships are welcome.

Wow, she´s beautiful <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" /> , I was almost wondering why there´s no War Galleon in the game. But a Dutch design? I always figured the Galleon to be of Spanish origin. It would be nice if she replaced the large warships in Spanish and Portugese service.

That sure is a beauty <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Yes, those 17th century shiptypes have thair charme, so that one is a most welcome addition.

Flipping through the models, I realized the "battleship" pretty much looks like a war galleon as well (lower forecastle and poop deck than the trade version, but still distictively there). Your model still looks very beautiful, Petros.

Thanks to all for the kind words. Glad you like it.

I will be uploading this to the PAftp in a day or two so all can use.

These will be the instructions. Let me know if I missed something.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use the war galleon in POTC:

1. Extract "Galeon.zip" file to temp folder


2. Copy the "Galeonw" folder to your POTCResourcemodelsships folder.


3. Copy the "bortoutgalenow.tga.tx" file to your POTCResourcetexturesships folder.


4. Add the following text to your POTCProgramships"ships_init.c" file above the
line that says "DO NOT ADD BELOW THIS LINE"

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// War Galleon (Galeonw) by Petros
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// PS -->
makeref(refShip,ShipsTypes[n]);
n++;
// PS <-- makeref(refShip,ShipsTypes[SHIP_GALEON_FRANCE]);
refShip.Name = "Galeonw";
refShip.all = "Galeon1";
refShip.SName = "Galeonw";
refShip.id = "Galeonw"; // PS
////curid = refShip.id; ShipLookupTable.id.(curid) = `n-1`; // PS
refShip.Class = 3;
refShip.Cannon = CANNON_TYPE_CANNON_LBS24;
refShip.MaxCaliber = 24;
refShip.Weight = Tonnes2CWT(800);
refShip.Capacity = 3500;
refShip.CannonsQuantity = 38;
refShip.MaxCrew = 300;
refShip.MinCrew = 60;
refShip.SpeedRate = 13.0;
refShip.TurnRate = 30;
refShip.Price = 120000;
refShip.HP = 4500;
refShip.SP = 100;
refShip.AbordageLocation = "BOARDING_PINNACE";

refShip.CanEncounter = true;
refShip.Type.Trade = false;
refShip.Type.War = true;

refShip.WaterLine = 0.2;
refShip.SpeedDependWeight = 0.3;
refShip.SubSeaDependWeight = 1.0;
refShip.TurnDependWeight = 0.8;

refShip.InertiaAccelerationX = 0.2; refShip.InertiaBrakingX = 2.0;
refShip.InertiaAccelerationY = 6; refShip.InertiaBrakingY = 3;
refShip.InertiaAccelerationZ = 2.0; refShip.InertiaBrakingZ = 4.0;

refShip.GeraldSails.rey_b2 = 1;
refShip.GeraldSails.rey_b3 = 1;



5. To your POTCresourceinitextsEnglish"common.ini" file,
in the "ships" section of that file add the following line:

string = Galeonw,"War Galleon" //Petros



6. To continue a saved game, just initialize.
Any galleons you currently have will not convert to War Galleons. You must purchase or capture them. War Galleons are available to all Nations.
