My Light Manowar Moving Pandenomium

As much as i like the new 102 gun light manowar remodel in 14 alpha 8, I do miss the 'charm' of the old 84-gunner. Ive brought this up elsewhere here, and the other night i tried copying it's files from the build 13 full into build 14, copying the ships_init section for it, the 'walk' file, the model and the texture files. i then changed ALL the names and directives for the ship to 'Golden phoenix' (my ships name) and started it under one of the storylines. However, surprise surprise, <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> it didnt work. What am i missing out on? No doubt its not so easy as I just mentioned, but there must be some way of inserting ships. I know people make mods (Like the bounty model) so it must just be me. All that happens is no name or image appear and the game then crashes when its nearly loaded.

I know im a bit of an amateur, but just being experimental! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Aye; the lightt manowar 84 gunner; its been replaced by an updated (nice though less humble) 102 gun version of it. Its a good ship, but I do prefer the original. The walk file on the new ones a bit funny too so your constantly walking with the sides blocking your line of sight. I havnt tracked it cos im sure its still a work in progress but the 84 was just such a humble manowar! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> It has a soul, I swear it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Though Ive managed to do it now so emergency over; I was renaming the model folder wrong! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Can you show a screenshot of that ship? Or do you know the exact ingame names of those two? Possibly the MODEL folder names?

We have no idea. There are a lot of bugs, we only have 2 coders, Maximus we haven't seen very frequently and pirate_kk has made some nice mods, but all very unstable. Damski and I are the only 'frequent' modder visitors (Petros and Sir Christopher Myngs and ZarethPL and Kazeite drop sometimes by).

Here at piratesahoy we don't work with release dates, we just mod, and if a new version is stable, we call it a new build.

We could DEFINITLY use new coders!!!
And indeed we do have a horrible lack of people nowadays.
Of course me being pretty unavailable doesn't help either.
But then I'm not exactly the best coder in the world... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />

heh; im afraid pretty much the same can be said about me. My problem is the only time I get to go on a computer is at college, but i could give some coding a try. hate to sound stupid, but what do you guys tend to use for coding? cos i mean I could give it a try. Though i once tried recoding medieval total war with truly horrific results. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> Though if you need some texturers or something Ive got the gimp and stuff and have done a bit for 'virtual sailor' 7.0. But that WAS years ago. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
