A Thank you to Hook+Hat:
I think many of us know these two guys deserve a little 'something' from the community to say thank you for all the hard work they've put in, especialy in concerns of the bug-fixing 'crunch' that made the build13 final release possible. Without their efforts in particular at this closing stage of the project - well we'd still be waiting for it.
I know many people have been involved in this build13 project over the years, and as a reletive newcomer here i hope i dont upset people who have put alot of effort into making build13 as good as it is by drawing these two guys out for special attention.
Still i think the majority of people, who have been around these last few months helping to finish the build and make it release worthy, will also know without mr.Hook and mr.Hat - frankly it wouldn't have happened anytime soon.
So haveing got the formalities out the way lets introduce this graphic mod that Gedscho(formaly known as ged) made as a thanks to hook+hats commited recent efforts.
The final mod was based on a rough design i had worked on - then realised i didnt have the skills to finish as i would like. It takes the standard 'Tavern' sign used in greenford,oxbay and redmond and changes it to an authentic style named pub sign; The "Hook & Hat". The legend on the bottom of the sign is standard pub sign text giving the founding date - i chose 1613 as a reference to the build13 project.
I would like to say thanks to Gedscho for agreeing to help me on this, and actualy doing ALL the work involved with it - its a most excellent graphic and has happily been sitting in my game for a few days, and now i couldn't imagine it not being in my game. So thanks for your effort Gedscho <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

My rough design that Gedscho worked from can be seen here:

The excellent final graphic Gedscho came up with can be seen in game here:

The download file itself is a simple replacement of the Eng_Signs.tga.tx file(171kb) that i'll stick on the ftp under the title 'Hook+HatThanks', and put a zip file here if it works? You should place the file in your RESOURCE\Textures folder - it will overwrite the standard file.
Anyway if you want to say thanks to Hook and Hat then i guess this is a good as place as any? Thanks Hook and Hat for the crazy effort you've both made to get this ship sailworthy! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
