Okay, since when was two units called a pack?

I'd say: "since now".

Two versions of the same ship.
A version with only one sail I call Medieval Small Galley (MedSGalley for short). It has one large latin sail in one mast.
The other version with two sails I call Medieval Large Galley (MedLGalley for short). It has two smaller latin sails in two masts.

Here are the civilopedia pics of both galleys

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

woohoo I finally got a 2nd post.

They are great! At last I have something to upgrade to a Galeass (which is then upgradeable to a frigate).

Good job as usual.

Again I missed the second post...

Forth Post!

@tjedge: :mad::p

They're both great! Of course, I don't like latin sails, but, oh well. It's amazing, that this only took like two days. Aaglo, just astounding!

I think the one sail version is my favorite. It's so graceful.

awesome :) (personally, I like the two sailed version- looks powerful, and cool :))

very very nice...! and so fast you work!

would you mind posting the pov-ray file for these aswell? Just wan't to look at the coding if you don't mind?

actually, tis a little known fact that aaglo dosent do anywork- n0, he is merelly the slave driver for a pack of povray using dwarven slaves ;) (Gnomes and Dwarves famouslly dont get along wth each other ;))

Yeah, this was fast due to changing to pov-ray 3.5. I think I've been stupid not changing to it earlier. Most of the animations v.3.5 does in one tenth of the time my old program did.

Okay, pov-files for these galleys:
- All the GalleyXXXX.pov -files are for the one-sailed (small) version.
- All the Galley2XXXX.pov -files are for the two-sailed (large) version.
You can render these and see the result ;) (if you are using pov 3.1, then you may have to change the place of the orthographic -statement in the camera options, in the top part of the file)

Do not render the following files, because there is nothing much to see.
- The colouring.pov is the texture-file for the small galley, and the colouring2.pov is the texture-file for the large galley. It also includes some basic clock (animation) variables (the sin and cos declarations).
- Arrows.pov is used in the attack animation only (yep, it's the arrows flying)
- Splash.pov includes the waves in the run animation and the ripples in the death animation.

If you have some questions, just ask, and I might give you the answers ;)

BTW, make sure you unzip all those files to same location.
And if you want to render those images so, that the picture isn't 'distorted', just delete the up <0,1,0> and right <1,0,0> statements in the camera line :) - or just render the picture as a square (in these units I used 120x120, AA 0.6)

Maybe I'll download Pov-Ray just to look at these...

gogf, you can look at the files in a text editor too ;)

Thanks alot aaglo! I did find your old units that you posted in 2003, took some time to find. But I had problems with the orthographic, guess it's because I use 3.5 and these was made in an earlier version... It also missed a ";" after declerations, guess that was something implemented in 3.5.

Still very early for me to make any units, still doing tutorials... But nice to look at the codes of more advanced stuff.

yeah,
-the version 3.5 wants the orthographic-float in the beginning of camera settings
- the semicolon ";" was also required earlier, but it didn't stop the rendering, it only mentioned about it in the render log, so in the v3.1 it was possible to forget those ;'s.

Oh, these aren't advanced. :lol: You'll be doing similar stuff in no-time :thumbsup:

Explosion.pov is missing :)

Oh. you can delete the #include"Explosion.pov" line in the beginning of the files.

Explosion.pov file isn't needed in any of those files - because they have no explosions included. Sorry about the mistake :)

Maybe I should try to learn Pov-Ray, but I doubt I can.

Nice! Luckily I still have room to give the Spanish their own
Galley.

We're drowning in nice ships! (Or is that an impossibility? :hmm: )

:thumbsup:

These ships are awesome! They'd work well not only in between your trireme and your galeass, but also in my LOTR mod (or LOTM, I'm sure). :thumbsup:

While I'm commenting on this, I wonder if it would be too much trouble to add an arrow attack to your generic galeass as well? I know that the cannons are historically accurate, but the arrows would work better in a LOTR mod, or any other fantasy mod for that matter. It would be great if you could, but if not, it doesn't matter.

Very useful ships!!! Thank you a lot!:thanx:

I think that there's nothing nice in a drowning ship (especially if you're in one). ;) :p

As I comemnted in the provoew thread the first sail on the two-sailed galley should be slightly smaller.

Edit: Very Nice Work :thumbsup:

Phenomenal :thumbsup: !!

If you look close enough, you can see that the front sail is slightly smaller :)

:cooool: [punch]

Aw, crap, I'm so slow on the draw that I'm posting in the fricking preview thread.

I love these suckers, aaglo! Your ships rule!

Anybody know if this unit, or one of the Corsair units, would be appropriate for a Barbary Pirate unit? (Am too lazy to go and search the internet myself, thought somebody might know offhand.)

Mithadan - the corsair ships would. I think the only true "Corsairs" were Barbary pirates.

aaglo - more perfection! thank you!

Splendid Work aaglo...Thanks :goodjob:

I also missed the preview thread entirely (luckily I looked in the completed units before posting in the preview :) ).
These look great :D And very fast too...

THANKS AAGLO SIMPLY COOL

Darn you aaglo :p, Now I have to redo my Imperialism Mod pack :p

:thumbsup: Oh and excellent unit BTW :D.

Nice ships!:goodjob:

BTW, do you use the original trireme hull as a base for nearly all of your ships or do they look a little alike for some other reasons?;)

The barbary pirates favored light, fast ships called xebecs (xebeci? ;)). From Wikipedia.com:

A xebec, also spelled xebeque, jabeque, sciabecco, and chebeck, was a small, fast, three-masted (but originally two-masted) vessel of the 16th to 19th centuries used exclusively in the Mediterranean Sea, with a distinctive hull, which added a pronounced overhanging bow and stern, and rarely displacing more than 200 tons.

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, a large xebec carried a square rig on the foremast, lateen sails on the others, a bowsprit, and two headsails.

They were greatly favored by Mediterranean nations as corsairs, and for this purpose were built with a narrow floor to achieve a higher speed than their victims, but with a considerable beam in order to enable them to carry and extensive sail plan. When used as corsairs they carried a crew of 300 to 400 men and mounted up to twenty-four guns according to size.

I would say that the corsair is close enough, although it is a bit heavier in the hull and has only two masts.

Here's a pic:

No I don't. This unit was completely based on the galleasses - and it's actually the vise versa (galleass was basically nothing but an upgraded galley). :p

Aaglo's units rock
he wears only one sock
because his time
is limited like this rhyme
to put on another sock
because his units rock

Yeah! :worship:

:lol: :D :lol: :D :lol:

(I should [punch] myself for this spam ;) )

:confused: wow,not bad, at least it rhymes. So you can do more than graphix Ukas. :hmm:

:lol:

Wonderful ships. Thanks. :goodjob:

Please make the Xebec too. :love:

Aaglo, I do believe that I love you.


Philia, you dolt. ;)

I hope you are a woman then... :p
Even though it would be fun to play with the idea, I'm sure my gf would not appreciate it very much ;)
