    a 74 gun ship is a 3rd rate. a 1st rate is 100 guns or more.

    Tools Of The Trade - Originally By Duke Suraknar

    O2 is the proprietary modelling tool released for Operation Flashpoint by Bohemia Interactive. You can download O2 at Bohemia Interactive's Breathe site (just type Bohemia Interactive Breathe into Google). You need to have a full, working copy of Operation Flashpoint in order to use it though...

    I used O2. If you own Flashpoint, it's free. At the top of this page, Suraknar posted a bunch of links to it.

    Which thingy is that? You mean the Plugin? That's for Maya. MAX, BTW, is not too expensive. . . As for the skin, if you look at SOLs from prior to 1815 or so (when the stripes went white on British ships), you'll see that the yellow stripes on different ships were positioned differently...

    Uh. . . are you calling the Royal Navy a bunch of clowns? Worse yet; are you calling Horatio Nelson a clown? Because the 'Nelson Check', as that scheme is called, was his standard, and the entire RN adopted it. . . Personally, I think it's really cool. . .

    Why would I reskin the gunports when the insides of the bulkheads there are painted red?

    Hehe, I've been working with O2 (and forcing its secrets out with the edge of my blade) since it was first released. . . I still prefer it to any other 3d modelling prog for making game models for any other games because of its simplicity and `ease-of`-use. . . If you have Flashpoint, and you...

    My current project. . . if only I had the Maya Plugin. .

    It's very easy to import/export between Maya and 3dsMAX. In any case, I didn't do the modelling in 3dsMAX; just that render. The modelling was done in O2. It's much more `user-friendly` if you're the type, like me, who wants to lay out every vertex manually and use an intuitive mapping...

    Heehee, Pirates'd never be able to afford to crew it. . . . I'm sure you know, but in reality, Pirates didn't really have anything larger than a Sloop O' War. . . because. . . #1; where do you find the men? #2; how do you feed them? #3; in order to catch your laden, `loose-in`-stays...

    Still no response from either Saruknar or Kell. . . I wonder if these famed fellows actually exist at all. . . . :shock: In any case, in hopes of attracting one who can direct me to the Maya Plugin (the download is disabled here, and I can't find it anywhere else), here are 2 screens of my...

    the REAL Black Pearl!!!!! PLEASE!!! COME ON PEOPLE!!!

    The Black Pearl in the movie was dreamed up by the folks who made the movie. . . She's got a few fundamental problems. . . For a ship so large (she's actually pretty small), she's got a very shallow draught and her lowerdeck guns are very high above the waterline. . . she's got no...

    New Ships: Where how when

    Well, my current one is based on HMS Shannon, a `38-gun` `flush-decked` Frigate, but I'm thinking I want to lower the polycount on her. . . I'm also quite inclined to work on some accurate lineships of the various rates. . . particularly a good 64 and 74, and of course, a nice Topsail...

    New Ships: Where how when

    If there's a way to use Maya models, convert them into GMs and run them ingame (creating all the proper named selections obviously) I could be making new (Historically accurate) ships very quickly. I've been modding for a long time. If anybody knows how the guys in the mod are doing this (or...

    Ships' speed and weatherliness in the new build

    Yeah, except that all your enemies are still shooting bombs at you, so it isn't realistic. . . :cheers :g1

    Ships' speed and weatherliness in the new build

    In the Sharpe novels, they were firing Mortars if they were firing 'Bombs'. The exception to that would be if they were firing Howitzers, invented long, long after POTC (though used to great effect on land during the Napoleonic Era, when Cornwell's Sharpe is set), and a howitzer shell is still...
