    Portuguese and Dutch Soldiers

    I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you are asking, DeBruce. Yes, that is what the Spanish Lancers in New Spain wore around `1802-1821`. The Naval uniforms are a little earlier, more like the late 1700's.

    Build 12 Deadline still Sept. 15th?

    No no no, there are big things in this build. But there are going to be a lot of small things that not everyone will notice, and certainly won't appreciate. A lot of work is going into this build, but since it is not readily visible people might not think it was worth the wait. Too much...

    Build 12 Deadline still Sept. 15th?

    I'm sensing confusion. The Build will not be released for sometime. The 15th is just the deadline for work to be submitted, and included in the build. We already know that there will be more mods and more builds to follow. This is just to give us a ground zero again, from which to start the...

    Portuguese and Dutch Soldiers

    These be Portuguese Soldiers from approx. 1800 (left is an officer, right a soldier). I'd write more, but I'm trying get the Dutch finished for the deadline. <img src="http://www.thelib.com/gallery/albums/userpics/Portuguese%20Soldiers.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    JMVs Military Pack - Runtime Error

    Thanks for the offer. Yes, those are very good books. I'm actually going to be driving to a larger library tomorrow to get some more materials. I think I've found everything there is on the internet. Well, maybe not everything.

    JMVs Military Pack - Runtime Error

    I'm currently working on Portuguese and Dutch uniforms to try and get them all in the build; or did you mean more faces and ranks? I've thought about doing midshipman and warrant officers, but I don't know what they looked like in the French, Dutch, and Portuguese Navies. I checked the code...

    JMVs Military Pack - Runtime Error

    Oh, so there is a problem with it not showing up in tailors? What nation? I know you have to atleast have a Letter of Marque in the service of the nation to buy their uniforms. I am certain that the Spanish ones work, haven't seriously `play-tested` the French and British, I'm afraid.

    List here all mods going into Build 12, thanks!

    Tomorrow during the day I will be uploading Portuguese and Dutch Uniforms to the FTP. I would have done it today, except I found a picture of exactly what the Dutch wore during the Napoleonic Wars in the West Indies... it threw me back a bit. Together with the French, Spanish, and British...

    JMVs Military Pack - Runtime Error

    I did not add support for the tailor mod until the latest version. If you want to be able to buy them, then you must install the newer version from the FTP server.

    Who should really be getting the XP?

    I wonder if we should designate a difference between Personal Experience and Crew Experience. Some things like Leadership, Fencing, and Luck should definitely be associated with individual characters. Other skills would be a combination of the player and officers along with the experience of...

    Rethinking the DeMasting Mod

    Well, I don't know what would happen. I think that since the locator is on the yard, the sail would go away. For example, if you replace the yard with a different .gm, the sail is gone. This would take someone a lot smarter than me to figure out.

    Realistic Sailing?

    The realistic maximum elevation changes were +10 degrees and - 5 degrees; not much at all. Intially, all guns were only able to move side to side aprox. 5 degrees, but by the end of the 18th century advances in gunnery technology allowed for a max change of 45 degrees to either side! To...

    Rethinking the DeMasting Mod

    As it stands now (I've been starting a lot of threads with that phrase) to bring down a mast you have to hit it with the required number of round, chain, or bomb shot, and it comes down. What I propose is that we look at a way to, instead of bringing down the entire mast, carry away a yard. I...

    mod - 'international affairs' update inc. customisable flags

    True flagsaffs would be excellent. I have longed to see that vile tricolor chasing after a big French `man-o`-war for quite a while now. Great developments here.

    Redoing the `Tavern-officer` models

    Interesting. Could you add a way of selecting "civilian" models when only a Privateer or below, but naval models when in the service? If so, I'll get on making the proper skins.

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    Where can I find it?

    JMVs Military Pack - Runtime Error

    The easiest solution is to add the backslashes. The best solution is to download the updated version from the FTP server. To add the backslashes, open quest_reaction.c in your POTC/program/quests folder. Search for "JMV575" You should find things that look like this: --> JMV575 and...

    Realistic Sailing?

    Hello All: I was talking to Nathan about making the Realistic Sailing more realistic and he thought this should be a main thread. So, I'd like to present some ideas on things that could be added to make it all more realistic. If you some ideas of your own, write 'em down and perhaps we can...

    Realistic Boarding

    Very early screenshots of the game showed boarding taking place on the actual ship models used for "at sea." I assume they took it out because of poor performance, but perhaps there is a way to look at making use of that idea.

    Mods Advice.....

    If you have an FTP program you can grab an updated version of the `Spanish-French` soldiers, which also includes proper redcoats and Royal Navy officers. Let me know and I'll give you better instructions on how to get them. I would highly recommend getting the updated version. The first...
