Trying to change to my sails

[KingLouisII]

I have made my own sails and I plan to replace the Pirate's Ahoy Sails (sorry fellas <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> ) with my own. The problem is this, my sails are green and I have a custom symbol on one. I do not want to relace the red sails and I don't want any AI ship to have green sails. How can I change the code in the sail selector to chose sail_whole_PA0.tga.tx (plain green) in place of the secondary plain black sail to accompany the logoed sail.

You can add your sails to the pirate sails selection scren without havin to overwrite anything. I did the same with the old Dutch sails in the Post Build 12 modpack. Add the sail files to RESOURCE\Textures\Ships as sail_whole_white_pirate16.tga.tx (or 1 higher than the last existing file). Then increase QTY_LOGOSAILS_WHOLE_WHITE in BuildSettings.h to 16 (or 1 higher than the current setting). If you start your game, you should be able to select your added sails in the sail selection screen when you set whole white pirate sails and you scroll through all the sails in there. I hope that helps. If you send the file to me, I'll add it into the Post Build 12 modpack. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Thanks I will definately do that with my red, black and white sails.
After searching arounf though, I stumbled upon the obvious. Tor sails have their own plain texture file (DUH!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> ). Since I'm not that crazy about the torn white sails, and their not used by AI, I'll just replace those with my custom colored sails.
Is there any way to perhapse enable the buyable sails to accomadate a alternate color set? I've been fiddling with this but the coding in the kam_sailselect file is a little different for buyable sails than the other options. I'll give it a shot later. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whippa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="whippa.gif" />
Maybe in a future mod builds you could allow for these sails to be chosen individually. Aside from my prob lem, this would allow people to chose more than one logo or color of sail on their ships. Just a thought. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />
