    Realistic Boarding

    If realism is the goal, then the boarding maps would most likely be smaller, or atleast representative of the vessels in the engagement. Remember, boarding was very cramped and very confused.

    Realistic Boarding

    I play with the modded boarding myself. I think that it would work, although the major problem comes from aiming pistol shot. As it stands now, there is only a slight grace period as you cycle through targets. If the delay could be lengthened, or allow the gun only to fire after the fire...

    Call for information

    Working on a reskin of the Dutch Military. I know that the Naval Officers wore light blue jackets, light yellow `waist-coats` and breeches, and black hats. That the marines wore black uniforms similar to the Germans, and that the soldiers wore a sort of bluish gray and green jacket.... But...

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    Regarding gunnery, perhaps there could be separate cannons for nations then? Spanish Cannons aren't as good as English Cannons, but Spanish swords are better than everyone elses... something like that? I didn't realize you wanted me to be that in depth. This is going to be great! I'm gonna...

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    First off, obviously it is difficult to generalize anything about an entire nation. If any peoples are insulted by the remarks I make, please take them only as my opinion based on historical references of the period, and not as a personal condemnation of the seamen, of any nation, at any time...

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    Hmm, I opened up the ships_init file and it seems a bit corrupted. I'll get it from the CVS.

    Nevermind, Nathan. I got the ships_init file. I'll take a look now. *** Dang, too late. Got it anyway.

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    No worries, I never got the implication (obviously, since you didn't imply it). I didn't get any sort of ships_init file. Did you email it to me? I'll get the info on the different nation base attributes up later tonight. Regardling the physical models, if Inez's tool can add locators...

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    NK thanks for the correction. You are right. Charles II was out in 1685, and his brother took over. The Whigs and Tories rebelled against James II's rule and greeted William III in 1688. James II is so minor I thought to pass him over, since Charles II really made all the mistakes that lead...

    British Royal nave colours and other things...

    Very well done. Deptford would be jealous.

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    First Some Basics While writing the below descriptions I found myself `re-explaining` the same thing over and over again, so I'd like to set them up at the beginning to make it easier for the reader understand the general trajectory of ship design. It also will assist in understanding the...

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    Okay, I'm nearly through. I've run into a problem though. Its 14 pages long, and I've still got about another 2 to write. What is the best way to post this?

    British Royal nave colours and other things...

    I Just read this and am very pleased with the developments. Even if the locator problem can't be solved for some time, the hard part is certainly making the ships. Keep up the great work Sigma.

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    My housing situation seems to be reaching a conclusion. Not the best solution, but I can stand another year in the dorms. As such, I will be posting the information needed to make this mod historically accurate this afternoon. Last night I completed most of the notes on the ships, and I'm...

    National ship paint designs in the 17th century?

    Hear hear Cat. If we are thinking of a full fledged mod we could make Conceicao Spanish, and Greenford Dutch (with a new name of course). You are right. For a true Nepoleonic mod to work, Pirates of the Caribbean would have to become "Navies of the Mediterranean" or something. All European...

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    I can't see the pictures you have, but looking at the blueprints I have the Pinnace doesn't look close enough to actually be the Golden Hind. You are certainly correct in saying that the Pinnace is the closest to the Golden Hind. The ingame galleon is definitely a Spanish Galleon. I would...

    Rethinking ships in POTC: new project?

    Okay, as I said in another post, I'm having the devil of a time with my new apartment and school, and don't have ready access to the internet (long story short, my place is being condmened by the city as uninhabitable). Tomorrow or the next day, however, I will be able to sit down and write out...

    New mod - Character screen update

    Great feature. These are the types of mods that don't get much publicity, but really form the back bone of the builds. Its these little details that show creativity and skill. Well done, and keep up the good work.

    Build 12 leaders - who are they?

    Your list of names seems good to me. It has to be coders.

    National ship paint designs in the 17th century?

    This is a good thread. I'm in the middle of apartment trouble what with going back to school and all, but when I am more readily available I'll scour what I have and come up with an historical paint scheme for the 17th century. Concerning a "Napoleonic Mod" I've always been in favor of...
