Hello all. Its been months, but as I said, I'd be back for the summer.

First off, the new build is great. I've only dabbled in it, but so many of the things we dreamed of in February were implemented, and done so brilliantly.

A couple of things: Has anyone heard anything from Deringer? From what I remember, he and I both sort of dropped off the map at the same time. We had pretty much divided up future skinning, he doing the military and I working on the more civilian aspects of the game. It'd be a shame if he's gone, I was really looking forward to his skins.

Before my absence I was beginning to work with Nathan to move towards a an end goal with the PotC mods. It seems like he has gone off to his own thing as well. From the little that I've been able to read on the forum, it looks like Cat has pretty much taken the helm. What all is in the works? I know that the PMT is still hard at work and silent as ever, but they can't be the only ones modding this game. I'd like to see a unified effort on we - the unaffiliated modders - to create something as well.

Therefore, I would appreciate it if we created a sort of "state of the game" thread where we can discuss the future of the PA PotC modding. Personally, I would like to see two separate "time period" mods. The first covering a time period similar to the Original Sea Dogs, and second covering the Napoleonic Wars. Hopefull the success of the Jack Aubrey film will create support for the latter mod.

--- oh, sadly, my PC and I had a disagreement and I had to wipe a lot. Therefore, those three danielle reskins that I was eternally trying to release are gone. But, as of today, I'm downloading all the proper utilities and getting back in the midst of things.

Again, congratulations on the build. I look forward to reading about which projects are in the works.
 
hi jmv575, good to see you again! i took a break of a few weeks because of real life (i have never been as busy as i am now - i'm preparing to move abroad for a year, and everything seems to want to happen at the last minute <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" /> ), but never fear, my l33t |/|0dd1ng p0w4rZ are still finely honed lol <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

how would your time periods mod work? would the player select which time period to play at the start of each new game? would this create two entirely different games with different quests, etc? or would it just affect graphics and ship types etc.?
 
Aye JMV nice tew have ye back Mate.Have not heard from Derringer for some time, hopefully he will show up again, and ye be right Catalina did a superb job on de Fred Bob quest,Natnan is pretty busy these days wid de PMT expansion pack but he still pops in when he is able.Maybe one of de Moderators would be kind enuff to make a thread as ye requested into a sticky <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Hi Capo,arre ye stil planning on putt'n yer Italian skin pack on one of the islands? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
yup. i'm done with the first skin, just gotta add an officer and a fewmore faces (maybe like 3 more) and then a flag and a sail emblem and then the skins are done. Shouldn't be long untill I can start coding
 
Great job Cap.

Ah, Kieron, you noble centaur; the time period mod. Basically, Akella created a game in a fictional period, but they've included enough from the late 16th early 17th century as well as the late 18th early 19th that I think the game lends itself to two periods. So my goal for the next few months is to not worry about all the extra stuff, and just sit down creating skins; one folder for `1592-1613`, and a second folder for `1793-1815`.

One question: do we have a good model editor? With just a few minor adjustments to some of the current character models I know we can make two fantastic and all encompassing mods
 
if you got maya you could, you could use that other 1, g3max or somthing, but you need maya 4.5 (i think0 to export it.

BTW, I would love a time period mod, my Italian mod coould fit in the 1800 one.

Really great to have you back, there are a lot of new modders learning as they go, working on their own projects, ship skins, quests, &tc...

You might like to take a look at (or add to!) the PotC Modding Wiki which was set up by Verruct:

<a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic1561.php" target="_blank">http://forum.piratesahoy.net/ftopic1561.php</a>

I think you will find it interesting...

Again, nice to have you back! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Ahoy, nice idea. I see the time period option either as a selectable at the beginning of the game (hell, why not enable two select screens, one to start the earlier time period and one the later, and a second screen to select either a male or female boucanier) OR you complete the earlier one and it leads to the second one - maybe you continue as the son or daughter of the original character, so his or her actions affect what you are faced with. MULTIPLE playing opportunities there. For one, most of the islands (if we use the same map, and why not) could be under new rule... so we wouldn't have to change the physical layout of a town, but all its inhabitants and rulers would have changed. You may even find a Protestant church changed into a Catholic one years later...

I could try a bit of model modding (I've been dabbling in skins) if someone knew where I could secure a copy of Maya 4.5...
 
Maya costs ALOT so...

oh, here pics <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/caporegime/mods.htm" target="_blank">Pics here</a>
