Would a paint job for the ships be possible? Even something as simple as the sails option but limiting the selection to paintjobs for your ship. (I.e. So you can't select a Black Pearl or Dutchman Paintjob and put it on a Tartane.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->We've got several reskins of the same ship which you can buy, but they're all seperate ships and not paint jobs. Of course it would, in theory, be possible to swap between the different skins. All paint jobs would, of course, need to actually be made beforehand, which depends 100% on what people choose to make. And what's wrong with a <a href="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=11216&view=findpost&p=224043" target="_blank">Cursed Tartane</a>? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
Nothings wrong with a cursed tartane. In fact I am a huge supporter of the cured ships, purely for the reason that they look so friggin' cool. xD

But surely if you put a skin of a Cursed class 1 warship onto a 3 cannon dinghy then the skin wouldn't automatically resize to fit it? And you'ed end up with the deck running onto the sides and back of the ship surely? Or something simmilar? (I assume mapping textures to models is simmilar for all types of things, as I had such an issue with the game Black and White. I ended up with a wolf which had it's face on it's chest. >.< ) And wouldn't the textures look too insanely huge/cramped for the ship?
 
Putting textures on ships they were not meant for is not going to work right. At all. I've seen what happens and it looks more cursed than Cylon13's ships do.
 
Maybe they could be fun ships? And the crew could walk on the hull. And the sails and masts would come out of the sides. And instead of firing cannon balls the ships could catapult actual cannons at enemy ships. (Now that would cause some major hull damage.) xD

Stop me when I start leaving the plane of reality. =]
 
Too late. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
well, there WAS someone who managed to fire crewmembers instead of cannonballs. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

Oh, I know I'm having that. >=]
 
EVERYONE can fire crewmembers. Go the the tavern and fire instead of hire them. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dev.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":d:" border="0" alt="dev.gif" />
 
sure, sure.

i think i could actually mod that in. it's a simply matter of making the cannons use the lo_man model instead of the cannonball model.
 
The cannonballs are textures. You could use Petros' flyer textures and put them onto the cannonball texture (AllBalls.tga.tx).
 
well.... i'd rather not die by laughter during battle. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
 
What we could do is revamp the Shipyard interface. You chose a ship, click on it, and then you get a list with the different colourschemes you can get. You click on the desired paintjob (maybe a screenshot of the ship) and then you get the model. I think this is the most simple solvation.
 
This needs to be done... I hate trying to get a certain ship and having to guess which frigate of brig is the one I want... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />

Yes this needs to be done

Until it is, there is a simple way around this if you really want one or two specific ship skins.

Let's say you really like the Frigate2 skin but hate the others.

Just edit the common.ini file and change the line:
string = Frigate2,"Frigate"

... so it reads:
string = Frigate2,"Frigate2"

That way it won't show up in shipyard inventory as just any other Frigate, but Frigate2, which is the one you would be looking for.
 
yeah. there's just some skins a REALLY want but hardly ever get for some reason. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
 
So in short the consensus on this mod is: Would be nice, if only somebody were willing to make it. Didn't we hear that before? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />

Yeah.

It's like when my wife starts talking about how nice it would be if "this or that, were over here or over there, and looked like this thing, or some other thing",

All the while she would be moving her fingers around in the air, motioning how it would all happen.

Only thing is her finger has no magic powers and I'm somehow expected to make it all come true.
