Interesting. Thanks for the update. Jan is even more quirkey and eccentric than myself and from personal experience much harder to get along with. If he doesn’t like how something is going he will throw up his hands and give up – and then blame you. I think this is one of the reasons his community has become so small and lost key members. He had a…[Read more]

This is awesome Dennis! More please. Now I guess I will have to start and share a log also LOL.

Jeffrey, I am still on the road. I expect to get to where I am going by the 2nd. If you need me to send you any hardware let me know. This is very much on the level. As Dennis eluded to and remembers…. Many of the old PA! modders can tell you I sent them all manner of different hardware over several years time, (even overseas) to keep them up…[Read more]

Yeah, we get a lot of spamming attempts here. Its been worse lately because our little website is picking up steam with more and more visitors every week. Our filter gets most of them but every now and then one gets through. The only way they succeed is actually commenting in the forums, and I agree, this last one was more creative than the usual.…[Read more]

AWESOME on the flags! That sounds excellent. We will probably need to collaborate via phone to get all of that worked out. Yes I was trying to get white flags going but was happy with the flag striking. The way I accomplished that is with an alpha mapping solution which eliminates the first flag from the texture making it blank in gameplay. I…[Read more]

That is Kris Wood’s Centurion. In the game its called English 64 gunner.

You will not find it in shipyards but extremely rarely. I recommend cruising outside English harbors at a distance and using your spyglass to see what ships are in the harbor. If you see one of these beauties, run up your pirate flag and they will come out to fight you and…[Read more]

Jeffrey,

Need your help. Please look at my explanation of new titles/promotions in the announcement sections. I am having trouble getting it to work correctly. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction.

In addition I was wondering if you might be able to figure a way to make ships consider two different flagall.tga options.

My thoughts…[Read more]

@ Orazio,

Thank you mate! I will upload right away and give you a link via PM.

@ Dennis,

Thanks for the recommendation Dennis but I would be exactly the villain the PA! folks accuse me of being if I were to use that method. I will buy the newest version legitimately. And then I will master the software and begin building the most beautiful…[Read more]

Yes it is a spammer who managed to get through. Gone and gone

MK

Stated Exactly as I want. I want high resolution quality because I spent hundreds of hours of my life photo shopping and creating all of those images for those items and many have a lot of detail. My monitors are 38 and 42 inches depending on where I am – so GIGANTIC. I need to see good detail when I play. So a compromise with good performance…[Read more]

Really beautiful work Orazio! Just AWESOME!!! REALLY INCREDIBLE! Thank you!

No worries, the site isn’t going anywhere Mate – but I am.

MK

No surprises….no new modelers have ever come round. No answers from Rider88 or Yo Ho Ho…. I shouldn’t be surprised I guess.

Well folks, I am dead in the water. I was trying to get the last two ships finished up and my version of MAYA 5.0 has stopped running. I blame this on Windows update. I tried to go to an earlier restore point but they…[Read more]

Thanks Samir for the kind words.

I don’t like dredging up the past either. However, with the very latest events at PA!, it has occurred to me more than ever recently that I can never escape from this past unless some kind of change occurs.

Using simple IF ELSE logic what are my options?

IF THE CURRENT SITUATION REMAINS THE SAME;

1. QUIT all…[Read more]

Interesting, I am surprised there was no evident FPS improvement. Do you recommend we implement this method regardless?

NEW MOD IDEA:

Just had this idea last night while I was dreaming. Shows you just how badly this game is addicting to me when I actually dream about being in the game. LOL Yeah I know pretty bad…. WARNING WARNING – loser…[Read more]

Hello Greg,

Welcome to the Reef.

Thanks for the kind words.

As far as HoO is concerned I have to agree from what little I can glean from their open discussions. At the beginning of the effort I myself disagreed with their chosen name. Hearts of Oak: Conquest of the Seas. Far from being a title about a game that might have awesome pirates and…[Read more]

Samir,

Thank you for the interest and enthusiasm. I appreciate the work – I really do! Thanks for the effort and I am certain we will eventually proceed with something in the vein you are thinking about. Let me ask you a few questions.

1) Does this also include the tweaks you have been collecting from Jan Marten on Pirates Ahoy! ?

2) Also is…[Read more]
