Cursed Ship, ships and their textures

Here's another thought for the end of the original main quest:
Captain Vanderdecken, using the as-of-yet unused <a href="http://pafiles.com/potc/Vanderdecken/character%20skin(s)/Vanderdecken.rar" target="_blank">Vanderdecken skin</a> made by old forum member Vanderdecken, guards the island's treasure using one of Cylon13's cursed ships with a Cylon13 cursed crew to go along with it. I am thinking we could make Vanderdecken's ship a random pick of all cursed ships Cylon13 made. Which means there would be a 33% chance that you'd end up fighting a cursed tartane at the end of the main quest. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />
 
oh nooooooo! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> i can't wait to squash the scourge of the seas. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
 
LOL! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" />

Anyways i just decided to do another "inverting colors" job because i'm way too lazy to do a whole new skin. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ko" border="0" alt="ko.gif" />
I made my own Will's version of the Cursed Corvette. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

I took quick pictures of it:

Someone ate a whole s***load of beans ..just LOOK at that wind! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
The ship is brown. Nice! The sails are gray. Weird. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Razor's Will sails don't look at me. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Actually i had the idea of making green seaweedy Flying Dutchman's sails into brown myself but somehow after converting saildutchman2.tga.tx to saildutchman2.tga those holes and torned apart ends are missing. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
 
You need to make sure to enable the alpha maps when converting. Set it to, for example, to <i>32bit (8bit alpha, 24 bit color)</i> in both of the selection lists when converting the file from TGA>TGA.TX.
 
those sails where like that on the other Will version of the flying dutchman as well.

and i spy me joke says i! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
I have got quite different sails on MY Will Turner Flying Dutchman. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

??? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

And btw Pieter what's most suitable TGA>TGA.TX Output texture format?
Which one is the best for regular skins? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
heck, i used that beans/wind joke at least five times in the log. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
See <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=1252" target="_blank">here</a>. They're Thomas the Terror's sails, actually.

I know. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
those are a bit too intact for my liking. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> the ones shown here are better, although they look like really soggy newspapers. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
I like the Thomas the Terror versions, but they could do with a bit of an alpha map.

Select the alpha map when you need it. It is possible to get a smaller filesize without losing too much of the look, but you'd need to experiment with that.
 
Ok! Are these any better? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

i thought you're ship was indestructable? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

those sails remind me of something, but i can't think of what. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Cursed one is but this is not the cursed one. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
And to explain that why health is at half is because of i started new game to get this ship into the game right and when you start a new game your ship always has half health. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
