Ship Improvement

**Amon Amarth 930** · August 15, 2010, 05:34 AM

I was a little bit bored yesterday from scripting, and after I noticed how terrible the Vanilla-Ships looked, I make some graphical Improvements.
Maybe you like it, here are Screens:

(Until now change only the strat-ship-type of "cog" which is used by: denmark, scotland, france, hre, england, portugal, poland, russia, spain, hungary, slave)

Thanks to gigantus - who not only help me so often with scripting - but also say me where the necessary file is located.

Comes into the folder:

I dont like this mod and please, dont take it as personal matter because it is not.. just a hint i give you from modder to modder. Vanilla cog model made by CA is a pure simplistic crap and modding just its texture is no sufficent for an improvement giving a cog a decent look.. if you wanted to make something different you'd have to make a thing like this below, creating not only a new/better texture but also making the hull similar to original ship used..

If I could modelling I would change so much... but I can´t ^^
And actually I don´t care if someone other think thats what I have done looks like crap or is beautiful, because I make it in a couple of minutes only because I was bored. And my area is definetly not 2D Arts

From where are these ships?

From Res Navalis 1.0 (strat map ships)

Have you solve the problem with the galey?
We are about to put the 1st "objects" in the TGC campaign map and it would be great to have the ships as a package.
We are inteand to use Cogs for europeans ,dromons for Romans, Dows for islamic factions and galeys for some italians.
