WOW!
could you make a weathered and damaged version of the improved white ensign file on the FTP?
your flag changes are excellent and i'd love to have this file with those modifications.

Pieter, CCC, others, what's your take on this?

I thought that what made a "Game" good was that it played well, looked and sounded good, and had replay value.

When I want "realistic", all I have to do is just get back to "Real life"!

This is a game, lets make it look the best we can.

Otherwise, we might as well re-skin all the barmaids and ladies of POTC for in the name of realism they all need to be made less attractive!

ah but "Real Life" dosent have pirates flying the ol Jolly roger.

Its a personal taste, but i preferr the realistic pirate flags over that fancy do, if its not pure black and white, its not pirate to me.
 
[attachmentid=358]
I personally like this one better, but that's just a matter of personal taste. I find the other flag to somehow look a bit... weird. As if the skull is too large and the bones too small. The flag that is in the modpack at the moment looks just like I think a pirate flag should look. But, like I said, it is just a matter of personal taste.
 
personal tasty ppl are allowed to now download a updated version with a new pirate flag, and no it is not the old one. Lets just say this flag matches the one in the relations menu
 
you mean like the one on the default pirate emblem, right?
i would like that in the White ensign, torn and weathered and battered. the whole shabang
 
tbh it was so long since i played with default, but the new one is based on the Calico jack Jolly roger.

But what we could really use is a system that allows multiple flags for a nation, that way we could have the whole variety of Pirate flags for the pirates.

This is exacly how I imagine a pirate flag. Even it's not proprtional or something... for me that jolly look of the flag is what I like, and I would definately consider it as an improvement. Cheers. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
i just looked up calico jack's flag, that was the one i was talking about. could you make a torn and weathered version with the torn and weathered white ensign that you made?
TIA
