New islands for PotC...

[CatalinaThePirate]

I'm wondering something - and this is for the coders and any modelers out there - what would it take to CREATE another island (or several)? The PMT is working on it, and the Russians have done it in their Morgan mod... Who's to say WE can't do it ourselves? There's plenty of room on the map. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />

Gives one pause to think, hm? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

(I know, I ask HARD questions!) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diomed.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dio" border="0" alt="diomed.gif" />

Perhaps we should try to include the new islands of the morgan pack in our version of the game. The new models are in the pack and there is a new model of the worldmap too. Is it Doable?

i think it's doable, but not easily or quickly <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

If you download the pack, you can watch the new islands models with the Gmview program. There is a big one who are very interesting (i think that's the island of cuba) and some others are news too. Islands of the original version have been displaced and renammed.

List of the new islands in the pack :

Antiga (Khael Roa design)
Cayman is a new model
Cuba is a very big new model and use some new textures
Gaity is new (new textures too)
Guadeloupa (looks like the small island next to isla muelle)
Sent
Terks (beautiful with a lot of reefs)

I don't know what's IN the Morgan mod - there was a group that was working on translating it - and I recall that Alex gave us permission to translate it and use it - so we're okay in that...

From what I understand there are some islands that are NOT occupied and apparently open for modding purposes...

I just wanted to know if we could do something ourselves! Are there people here that can figure that out for us, or who know what to do to get a new island into the game? Because if we could do that, well... That would be GREAT!!!

It would be a true accomplishment if we could say that we did it on our own, too...

Just some thoughts rolling around in my brain... Have more, but different subject... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I'm not an expert but at my sense, that would be a very long task of modeling and coding to do that. we would have to create a new model of island and we would have to `re-model` the worldmap to add small model of the island in. Unless you want to add a secret island that are not "pointed" on the worldmap ! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":c" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />
