Who wants new guns?

Well Pieter was lucky to get them, i fortunatley had the texture file laying around in my WIP folder. Otherwise ive deleted my whole PoTC folder. Running too low on HD space and right now i dont have a high speed connection enough to upload and download a ton of stuff for the time being. But i hope to maybe be back for a wee bit of modding once i get a job <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
If you want to use the new cannons, just overwrite the file currently in RESOURCE\Textures\Ships. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

These cannons look far better than the previous/original cannons, they really look like diecasted cannons now! The only thing is, they seem so black they "glitter" in the sun from above....Therefore my theory was: if they are adjusted a BIT more "greyish", they would look more worn and realistic...Maybe I am wrong?
The side issue you mention? I think its looking great! Maybe the ships needs gunports to get the right perspective? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->I do like the black cannons better. I think cannons SHOULD look black. But indeed perhaps a little less black. Maybe somebody could do some additional work on them? In the meantime: I'm keeping the black cannons in my game.
I wonder if we should give some ships black cannons and some ships the original cannons, based on the contrast of the cannons against the hull. Any thoughts?

well, i DO have a thought about the cannons:

how about the old ships having the bronze ones? i think it'd fit the timeframe. the black ones would be the newer ones. maybe the grey ones would be in between.

Which ships do you think should use which cannons?
 
For the bronze guns, we could use Petros' guns, right? Or do we have some other ones that we might use so that Petros' guns can remain unique to his ships?
 
Mine <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Here it is, with high resolution textures for the barrels and sacks and chests (I think it look really nice) and the bronze barrel of the AOP ships.

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
Thanks very much, Thomas! So we can use your bronze guns on the caravel and galleons, the black guns (any chance you could do some colour-changing work on that) on the frigates and corvettes and keep all other ships as they are. What about Manowars and Battleships? Keep grey guns for them as well?
BTW: Nice new avatar and signature, Thomas! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
Maybe the older battleships could have bronzeguns and the newer like the Sol_74_gun and the Manowar3 could have black guns?

I.e just imagine the class 2/3 battleships (like the french one that attacks oxbay) would be real beauties with bronze cannons and then image the black hulls, covered with black guns on the side of the huge manowars.. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
I've changed the cannons on the ships suggested by Thomas the Terror, excluding Corvette4, Corvette6, RN_Brig_16gun and Surprise. I did also give the Amsterdam and Interceptor black cannons. The Amsterdam has black cannons in real life, so she must have them here as well. The Interceptor is also a brig. Also the black cannons look really good on her. Should be nice to have some more variety in the cannons being used by different ship classes. Also I noticed that the Corvette1_47 was using deck.tga where is should use desk.tga on the rigging, so I fixed that as well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
If those black cannons have pinhole, then you can't really use them on <i>Interceptor</i>. It has my custom cannons, and thus the pinhole will appear off-center.

Something tells me I ought to redo my cannon mapping <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Ah. I see what you mean. That's unfortunate; It really does look good. The contrast of the black cannons against the wooden hull works very well.
 
What would you think about this kind of deck? i use it since quite a long time now

Looks nice. I'd be interested in knowing what people think of this when trying it ingame. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
Again, I'd prefer to have ropes on the masts right where they were, since my <i>Pearl</i> and <i>Interceptor</i> make use of them <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Other than that, it looks... intriguing <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
