I know there is a few SotL out there, but none of them really had enough guns to satisfy me, so I took it upon myself to make one with a few more.

It is just a simple reskin, in two different colours. White, and Yellow as used by the British ad Trafalgar and other places.

The textures can be used with any of the previous SotL or MoW, as long as they use the default Frigates hull.

I also did include the default frigates hull with the guns "removed" as I found it was not in the mood to have a 100 gun, Ship of the line sporting maybe 20, too big and in the wrong places. To use it you will have to copy and rename one to frigate_freeze1000.nif and one to frigate_freeze1021.nif or you will still get some guns at different times when the unit is not selected.

The default colour is the yellow one, but if you wish to use the white variant, rename frigate-w.dds to just plain old frigate.dds, deleting or renaming others as needed.

Hopefully this is up to standard,

GM
 
Just don't be to shocked at the size of her guns. ;)
 
Looks much better painted in yellow :).
 
Looks great, I like it! :goodjob:

Do note the original post date. :p

Thanks guys, I guess late compliments are better than none at all! :lol:
 
I wasn't fooled by this ZOMBIE POST!
 
Indeed, I like it also, I just didn't want you all thinking it was a "new" creation and I was doing this instead of other stuff. :mischief:
 
Admiral Matt,

Can you take a bet for a double deck war Galleon?ships of the line appear much later in comparison with war galleons.
 
A.. "bet"? Please elaborate?
 
Admirall Matt,

I was trying to say if you can create a war galleon,thats what i mean by saying a bet.:)
you re very good designing in wood and cloth,thats why i m asking you.:)
 
Ahh, a request! Sorry..

Well, I definitely can think about it, I was thinking of modeling the HMS Ark Royal (the Galleon..)
 
Did I not include a Nif file with it with them removed? I was sure I did..

You know, with a little blender you can add 3 rows of cannons to match the gun holes. It's what I did for this unit

It use the frigate model and anim but with a little shell modif in blender and a copy/paste of the first gun row to make a second.

Like this, you can make 3 gun rows ship.
 
I should look into that. At the time I had really no clue at all to how to do that, I have a lot more now, maybe I should update it.

Xenomorph@ For some reason I thought I had included a version that removed the cannons..

Anyone want to pull something like this off for those of us that are Blender-inept?

Well, they are normally invisible. They show up when you tell the ship to "sleep," blockade port or go to battle. When it does one of the above, the cannons not only become visible again, but very visible because they take on the team colour of whatever side you're playing as.
