Pirates

[meyamoti 0]

Another shameless bump,due to real life issues I'v had to give up modelling on the flying dutchman so instead I have asked my friend NodUnit to work on it for me,he was hesitant at first because he has quite a few others he should be working on instead but after showing a few images he gave a concrete yes on working on the ship. Do note this is the one from the POTC2 movie,not the ghost ship in real life. Should get some updates from him soon. Just posting this little useless tidbit out there.

Hi, thank you very much for this note, I hope you can find some time later on to restart modelling ships for this Mod.

And here a screenshot of the newest project, the "Half Moon"..

wow, thats stunning work

doing interiors too?

[Shinkansen 0]

Thanks, I have started with the interior for this ship, too. But I think I will make interior only for the half moon, because it cost a lot of time and points to modell this.

Looks great.

Great,man!

Alright,I took the images down because of a part I was working on,now that its fixed I can add images again.

I would wait to post more images but I am currently working on the balconies and I'm not sure when I will be finished with them.

What you see here is not the representation of the final public model,some model details will be sacrificed and replaced by textures to avoid faces being too high,naturally I'm not worried about facecount as this will be the only unit on the 'field' of its kind,or should be.

Wow you didn't waste any time on that. Looks great

Very nice. It's good to see the correct usage of sharp & smooth edges in O2.

Can't say I know what those are,sounds like some kind of porno,in which case..definatly not.

Chances are very definite that public version will have less actual modelled parts as the one shown here,for instance,all of the ropes will more likely be a flat plane texture,as much as I enjoy having them as modelled parts,they can really boost the count,same with the ribs of the sides,but nothing is certain yet,though there will be no interior other than the gundeck.

Hi, very good! Looking fantastic .

I am looking forward to see this modell textured!

After I have seen yesterday the pics of the "Flying Dutchman", I had noticed that there is no ship except the "Black Pearl", that is powerful enough to fight it. So here is a new 54-gun ship ...

[NeMeSiS 11]

Beautiful!

and once again you've done an excellent job

just how many different ships are you gonna include in this project? there can't be enough

and thats a beautifull model xnodunitx, looking forward to seeing it ingame

btw, someone should model a giant squid....

EDIT: btw2, where do you get all your ship refs from? I want to model some vessels too, but I haven't found any sites with good multiple views of the time. only first/second world war vessels.

Hi,

plans come either from:

http://www.shipmodels.com.ua/rus/models/drawings/index.htm

or

http://shipmodeling.uw.hu/

the last side has an astonishing listing of ship plans but is very, very slow. The side has a russian mirror, but you can only download from inside russia.

<a href="http://www.armada15001900.net/PLANOS.htm" target="_blank">

<a href="http://www.pietrocristini.com/progett....gt;http</a>" target="_blank">http://www.armada15001900.net/PLANOS.htm[/url]</a>

If you need only the hull, then this danish side might be helpfull

-----------------------------------------------------

Ship projects started:

Flying dutchman --- Ghostship (Warship)

Black Pearl --- (Warship)

54 gun Warship (from russian side)

Golden Hind (Pirate Vessel)

Half Moon (Merchant)

Hannah (Cutter) (Pirate Vessel)

Peter (12 gun) (from russian side)

Longboat (small Pirate Vessel) (largest rudder boat with sails)

two old boats/ small ships from first Napoleon Mod

-------------------------------

On the sides mentioned above are plans for a lot of Galleones like

- San Martin

- San Felipe

- Mayflower

- unknown english war Galleon

If I ever can download the complete set of plans from this side they are marked for modelling

--------------------------------------

Other ship types I want to have ingame:

- Ketch (special light ship type with heavy siege mortar)

- Xebec (therefore I desperatly looking for plans! (a "highspeed" raider for mediterrean sea; "Tripolitanian")

---------------------------------------

The Batavia was mentioned, but no plans available at the moment.

I have the Paper Plans of the us privateer Rattlesnake, but we are looking for a Din-1 Scanner to get them into the PC. But the rattlesake is a little bit too modern. All other ships are somewhere dated between 1600 and 1700.

This is a really crazy side, watch the movies if you are interested in building a sailing ship

Oh those videos can be a great reference to help me with the masts of my ship model,thanks for the link.

Nice very nice. I like the ships and everything. Keep up the good owrk. Cheers

how will controlling the ships be like? can you simply press "W" and glide ahead? or will you try to implement a dialog where you can set different slider parts to control the position of the sails?

I feel kind of sorry since you're the only one working on this, but couln't help asking

[philcommando 0]

Glad to see masted ships populating the ofp world now .

Should you intend to use my sailing ship prototype modelling and config for ingame use, i would recommend that you download my Tarawa ship or Japanese Naval fleet and see how it's done. These ships are more advance in scripting and config as well as 02 than my first historical ship which was the very first working ofp masted ship with cargo/cannon experiment.

Not that those ships are perfect, but it will spare ya lots of hair tearing while experimenting ingame. No credit needed, my work is and will always be open source.

Sorry cant be of much help, but real life sure has kept me outta ofp for some time, ( sheesh, its been 5 yrs of ofp already? A kid would've gone from high school and outta college into the marines in all that time!!! lol! )

Hi,

[APS]Gnat had written a script for us to simulate wind-direction and speed of the ships. So, you can simply press "w", but speed will have a dependency of the wind. The sails and flags will not turn with the wind direction, but maybe it will be possible to raise and lower the sails when you stop or when you are moving by switching between two textures for the sails.

Heres an update of the Flying Dutchman,I will be gone for a bit sot his is the last update for a bit,what you see right now is NOT public version,as the face count is pretty high,it may be released as the high detail but its still in debate. Most of the ropes if not all will probably be replaced by plane 2D textures rather than be a 3D model,which will save on faces and points,another will be the railing will be more boxy rather than having the notches on the sides as they do at the moment,and so on and so forth,less round sails,the rib details on the sides will be gone,the gunports on the side possibly having 6 sides rather than the current 8,crows nests will be less round and so on.
