I already asked at the old boards a while ago, maybe it's been forgotten, maybe there was no interest, but thought I'd try again. Being very unhappy with NWN2's ship models (hell, not even sails!), I look back in envy at some old NWN1 models by some_ux and wondered if anyone skilled in 3D stuff could do something about this: 

Caravels

Carracks

Longships

Alternatively, if these are really too hard to convert or look bad in NWN2, has someone ever come up (or would be willing to make) some real sails? Only having dark tapestries or curtains to put on the masts isn't my favourite solution. <_<

The ship models used in Dark Waters looked pretty good:

I have already converted Carracks and long ships, I just need to put a walk mesh on them

Ill see if i can get them out in the next day or two

[casadechrisso]

 Oi, Hellfire.... you're awesome! 





(... my favourite is still  the Caravel tho...)

Oh, DannJ... almost ignored you there... that looks to me like the NWN1 Carrack! I never played Dark Waters, shame the ship was never put up on the vault. Wonder if it's walkable too.

Edit: And the Caravel too! ... now I'm downloading.

Were these the converted ships, if so I don't need to bother with mine

[casadechrisso]

I did a lot of digging yesterday and only found the Carrak. It appears to me like it was intended for overland map use, very small, not walkable and missing some inner model structure. The sails etc. still look good, but tbh, I was closing the toolset again in hope you'd come up with a more detailed one

Seriously, If it's no big deal for you, I'm sure those models would be highly appreciated not only by me. Everyone I talk to seems to favor these ships over the NWN2 models, and especially for the sails models you'd get a new fanclub.

[Hellfire_RWS]

Ok, I got all the model pieces welded together, made the last of the normal maps and they just need walk meshes now. (there was more left to do that I thought)

at latest I will have something this weekend

[Orion7486]

I would definitely appreciate this work, too(especially the longships.. Thanks alot Hellfire.

[Hellfire_RWS]

Ready for export to NWN2, next I'll finish up longships conversion

Wonderful!

[MokahTGS]

Please please please please make a version with the sails tied up so that they can be docked without looking stupid. Did I say please?

Nope.. I didn't see please anywhere in your post

[JasonNH]

You mean furled.

MokahTGS is the only pirate I know that unties her colors and strikes fear into all those that oppose the pink. Me, I unfurl them. Strike the colors, lads and prepare that ballista! We mean to board her and capture another prize for the Pirate Fleet of Pesky Pete the Pirate!



Avast!

Shield options for the long ships


also the sails for the carracks and long ship will be seperate, so you can choose furled or full sail.
the oars of the long ship will be seperate, there will be up, in use, and a pile stacked oars.
the shields will be seperate and have 9 appearance options as seen above.

Build you own ship.

Very nice. One of many things lacking in vanilla NWN2, which is soon to be lacking no more.

[dunniteowl]

With all that you do, I hate to mention it. Okay, I don't hate to mention it, I just feel it sounds sort of graceless. Are the sails going to be fully tintable? Maybe across two separate or interlocking ribs of the sheets? That way you could make colored sailcloths, white to black and possibly striping of any two decently contrasting colors?

Also, on the longship shields, you seem to be missing a very traditional spiral of two colors (not a true nautiloid spiral, but a shorter, thick lines swirling to the center) with the center of the shield being bossed with the shield boss of metal. (looks kind of like a little hubcap.)

See? That sounds so crass and graceless and -- I just can't help myself! I gotta cleave to the stereotype of always wishing there was just a little more to be had. I'm sorry. Nevermind. Just teach me a few more basics and maybe I can add to the list of the little things.

[The Curt Jester]

Can we get nine different figureheads, too?! PLEASE?!

[Hellfire_RWS]

I'm sure I can make tint able, striped sails. I was going to rework the sail texture on all ships anyway, I just am not that fond of the existing texture as far as figure heads go, Ill look and see what different easy types there are.

[MokahTGS]

Build you own ship.

SWEET!!! Really looking forward to this and I'd love to build airships with the ship parts as well as the benefit this would be for my shipwrecked town. Non-pink pirates beware! The Lollypop comes for you!



oh...and PLEASE!!

[casadechrisso]

As far as I can tell, Mokah already built a pretty nice longship in his sig. Just missing the sail.
Anyway, not opposed to the airship at all, I loved that on some NWN1 servers. But since they don't fit my module setting (neither really do the longships at this point) and I'm horribly egoistic, I'm offering another thousand "please please pleases" and "thank you thank you thank yous" for first working on the Caravels! =)

PLEASE!

Speaking of ships btw, and totally off-topic, is there a camera bug in the Pocketship interiors or was that just me screwing up? Using the "bilge" tiles to build a longer room, walking somewhere towards the middle in game always makes the camera crazy and one has to use a blind WASD walk to escape the bug.
