Pack of Galley Variants

[The_Coyote]

fixed trade galley 2 (the one without head, tail and shields), other fixes will only done by request (it´s a bit more work here, must load the nif in blender, reeport, relink, etc, and i don´t want to waste too much time)

Excellent! Thanks Coyote!

 

[Xenomorph]

Great! Could you also fix the two Triremes in the pack? I'd imagine it would be easier to take BtS's trireme and just remove the sails from them.

 

[Wolfshanze]

There were Triremes in the pack? I know there's a Trireme with the forward sail removed floating around the forum... maybe it's from here... anyways, the one-sail Trireme (forward sail removed) would be a good one to fix.

done

@ wolfshanze
the one sail (and also a no sail) trireme was part of this pack

 

[Xenomorph]

Thanks again.

 

[Wolfshanze]

Perhaps someone would take a crack at this, or offer a varient?

This is essentially the Asian Caravel without any of the "Junk-like" sails (of which there were three) and given some oars and the fire arrow animation.

Perhaps if a full row of oars were added and one sail (maybe like Chugg's Atakebune sail), this would turn into a fine Asian Trireme?

Currently it uses the default Galley animation... though like many of the other galley animations, I think it's a bit broken... but kinda-sorta works right now.

 

[The_Coyote]

try this, use with trireme aniamtion, added trireme oars and sail (because it will be animated) to the Dragon Galley, btw do you know who was the original author of the Dragon Galley, so that when somebody downloads the ships, knows who must be credited?

and i need more than 5 minutes to make the ship (with testing and fine adjusting)

 

[Xenomorph]

I'm guessing it uses the trireme animation, correct?

 

[The_Coyote]

yes, but i thought i had wrote it ("use with trireme aniamtion") [edit: i also copied the error ]

You should be credited, the original (albeit with sails and no oars) comes with Civ (see ART_DEF_UNIT_ASIAN_WAR_GALLEY). So all that differs from the original was basically done by you (except for the deletion of two sails or so, which takes 10 secs).

 

[The_Coyote]

thanks mamba (sometime i believe i should play more )

Thanks... and I know it takes more then 5 minutes to make a ship (I never even asked you about this one!) Speaking of which, where's the fix on that US Battleship I PM'd you about a few days ago?

Just kidding... obviously you've been busy!

Honestly though, I don't know who did the original conversion... but it IS based on the Firaxis Asian Caravel model... somebody (and I don't know who) took off the junk sails and added a couple of oars to the think and linked it to the galley animation. I found the model in the Warlords TR mod, and they say in their readme "please use our stuff" (plus I'm in cahoots with those guys). May have been Andreas (he did most of TR's naval stuff before falling in love), but I don't know for sure... this conversion wasn't in the download database anywhere, so I may have to go digging further.

Thanks again for the 5-minute job... I'll check it out and give it a good lookover!

I believe the Team Color is no-longer working on this model... the original (broken KFM) at least worked with team color... this one has the animations working, but I can't get team color to work.

Same thing here... there's no team-color in the sails... could team color be activated in the sails for this unit?


Also, both came with only the _FX.nif files... is there a default for the <NIF></NIF> lines in the ArtDefines?

 

[Xenomorph]

He probably just lost the info for teamcolors. Give me a few minutes and I'll fix that.

[EDIT]Ok, here you go.

 

[The_Coyote]

beaten me , yes one time lost i lost the info (Dragon Trireme) the other never had, but please somebody check out the galley if with teamcolour the model is shown correct in the pedia, while trying to attach teamcolour to the model it looked in game ok, but in the pedia it was grey (the same error chuggi has), nevertheless made a real fx version with teamcolour which works.

The Dragon Trireme has only a fx nif there is no fx version, the galley the first file was a non shader nif, also can be the non fx version, the file here is a shader nif. The galley will only shown teamcolour when not used with standard galley (or another with alpha channel) texture

 

[JustATourist]

Well, it seems many of the unanimated units have been fixed in the last days. Great work, really, but... Can please anybody upload the fixed units (all the fixed) into the database with all files you need (animations, textures) und without the files you don't need. I think it's becoming a little bit confusing, because not everything is in the threads about the units the files belong to (I think) and so on. You know, all this nice sailing ships would be great resources... Would be very nice, if somebody could do so.

 

[Berenthor]

Just a quick question: does anyone know if the two sail galley has any problems with animations? I haven't tried it yet, but maybe someone knows. If it has problems, is it possible to make a fix for it? Thnx Great work with the current fixes, it is really great that they now work, thnx alot for all the work.

 

[ViterboKnight]

Waiting for the animation fix for BTS (looks like similar to C.Roland's galleass) .
C'mon, Rabbit White, you can't stop at this point!!!

 

[Xenomorph]

Um, Rabbit White hasn't been on the boards for a while...
