It might be worth to take a look on the following pages. There's some possibly interesting mods on there that we might hyjack.
Example: See attached screenshot for a new boat.

I'm not at all sure what's on there, but there might be some good stuff.
 
<b><i>Two questions:</b></i>
1) Can somebody download <a href="http://slib.com1.ru/potc_addon/data2.slb" target="_blank">http://slib.com1.ru/potc_addon/data2.slb</a> and <a href="http://legend.seaward.ru/fix/resource_town_c.rar" target="_blank">http://legend.seaward.ru/fix/resource_town_c.rar</a> and put them on the FTP? The download speed is really slow and I can hardly leave my computer on for so long.
2) Can somebody download and extract the files from <a href="http://graffa.narod.ru/Pirates/index.html" target="_blank">http://graffa.narod.ru/Pirates/index.html</a>? I downloaded the files, but I can't extract them using WinZip, because the name of the file in the RAR files has Russian characters.
 
It seems there are new ships. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" />
Just a thought : ok to add more stuff to Build Alpha but only Stuff WORKING. The Build Alpha 7 plus' bugs make me sick <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Sorry Capt'n!
No luck
! D:\Documents and Settings\Julian\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\G767QBUZ\mods_s_foruma.part2[1].rar: The required volume is absent
! D:\Documents and Settings\Julian\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\G767QBUZ\mods_s_foruma.part1[1].rar: CRC failed in ½ÒþÞÑÑ.7z. The file is corrupt
They look however as mods for the Russian AOP version Corsairs III
I recall Thomas the Terror has some feel for this mods. At least he guided me through a while ago.
Fair winds to you!
 
That is using WinRAR? That is unfortunate. It probably has to do with those Russian characters. Most likely a person with a Russian Windows version could extract the file just fine. The mods indeed are for the Russian AoP, but we could hyjack the RESOURCE files.

Aye,

The very log of using the Win.rar
My own thought is that the mods are intended to be patched on the progress of AOP CorsairsIII - as released elsewere on the Russian forums. If the right sequence is followed the download should work.
I have one of the early versions myself, where Thomas pointed me towards babelfish to make the best of translating lines and made himself a translation tool somewhere - forgot the thred -but then again the result is still an entirely Russian game coded in this lovely language which I unfortunately don't understand ... yet...
Perhabs some day!

I have had a similar problem with extracting a file before. Maximus had put a file with Russian characters in one of his folders as well and I could not extract that either. I think it is the same problem here. Only in that case I didn't actually need that file, but in this case I DO want to be able to extract it. Probably the Russians have no problem with it, but we obviously do.
 
1. Winrar doesn't recognize the letters as valid letters.
2. Prevent from opening because these letters are recognized as virus-characters
3. Don't know

But these russian connections are just too damn slow!

WinRAR worked fine for me. CRCs will fail if some of the RAR files are named incorrectly or on incomplete downloads.

It's available on the FTP in 7zip format with English name(s) - named as mods_s_foruma.7z - this is the format the file was originally archived in the multi-part RAR file(s). I assume you were able to open the update_1.rar file, since it was all English character filenames.

<a href="http://www.7-zip.org/download.html" target="_blank">7zip download</a> - in case you need it.

The archive contains lots of ship skins, some mast geometry updates, a nice looking musket, several new characters and some other miscellaneous items. There's also a new ENGINE.EXE file, but I have no idea what it does.

kevin

PS - I also found a nice looking "boarding musket" in one of the other files referenced above in other posts. It has a super detailed model and it looks really sweet. It's shorter and "fatter" than any of the current muskets in the build. I'll try and get it in game with the new musket in this package above.
 
I think we must add some more items ships, characters and stuff then, eh <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
I am going to take a look meself.

1. Those flags look REALLY cool, I especially like that spanish one!
2. The gun, WOW
3. All the mast updates: place them in the builds! All the big ships get flagmasts on their sterns!
4. Spanish blaze: maybe we should add him?
5. White washed corsair, wow that is a cool skin.
6. Shipskins: NO, those russians can mod, but they haven't got ANY sense for colouring ships at all! Are they colourblind? Who in earth paints his ship totally GREEN OR BABY BLUE?
7. Deck skin has some interesting parts.
8. Sky? What is the difference (didn't check the difference with the ones we have now.)
9. Those interface pictures has some nice items, but where are the guns that are on the pictures?

I say, add everything that can be added <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I have some pictures of the flags that I like most:
<img src="http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l68/Thomas_the_Terror/fournewflags.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
It also shows you the new flagmast on the back of the ship and the new blue sky

This is the modded rigging of the lineship:
<img src="http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l68/Thomas_the_Terror/RussianLineshiprigging.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
I like it better than the one we have now.
 
Sweeeeeeeeet! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

I did not check nor download (yet) them but some pictures of this stuff would be nice. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
I checked the resource_town_c.rar nothing else than a lot of wall textures for new towns. But the colours HORRIBLE BLUE STONES YELLOW STONES, aaaah <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
For the second time: they can skin, but they are colour blind or have no taste for colours what so ever <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

After seeing the new sky texture, why don't we hyjack some sky textures from AOP hey?
 
Can we really just rip their work without crediting them? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":|" border="0" alt="mellow.gif" />
 
dunno, i think the current sky textures look really nice. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> but if they're better, have it your way! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
I like the blue sky of this one, so I will keep it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
By the looks of it, there indeed IS some nice stuff to be found there. Cool! So some of these ship flag updates we can just hyjack easily? It would be great if somebody could put all usable files into a readily PotC-compatible file. I'll have a look as well, of course.

I think we should credit them for the work of which we can find out who did it. That being said, I think they occasionally rip our work as well. With Kazeite's Black Pearl, for instance. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
I found a whole bunch of interesting thing, including a skeleton Barbossa version. Is anybody thinking CotBP quest mod? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Just before anybody gets his hopes up on that one: I saw the texture, not the texture applied to the model. Not sure if it's a good texture. But at least it's A texture.
