New Planks for LME

**♔Icebear77♔** · February 06, 2011, 03:44 PM

Improved planks for ships v1.1

I made a small modfile to improve the design of the planks. IMO, it looks much better than the old one and it comes closer to the historical reality.

Installation for both Versions:
Move/copy the file into your Data-folder and add

mod "NewPlank.pack"; for Version 1
mod "Ship_Planks.pack"; for Version 2
mod "Ship_Planks_v2.pack"; for Version 3

into your user.script.

VERSION 1:

Have fun with this small improvement.

Personally I like more the second one which have actually voted.

no 2 is great, no 1 and 3 way too "clean", imo

I guess we were both influenced by "Master and Commander"

Well, the perfect way would be to let new ships have shiny planks like no. 1 and 3, and after some time and wear&tear from sea battles turn the planks into looking like no. 2, but I'd suppose that's too much to ask.
I dont think most people would notice the difference anyway, but no.2 generally seems the most appropriate to me.

I voted for no. 2

Fairly easy vote

I am hearing countless Royal Navy Captains, First Lieutenants and Bosuns shuddering (and spinning in Davy Jones' Locker) at how your Navies are run if you lot prefer '2'.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

In the Royal Navy one does NOT have dirty decks like that.

Shame on you all! You should be keel hauled, the lot of you.

Hurumph and Glower!

Just long as '3' is available as an option I'm happy lol.

PS Take a look at the attachments 1) a painting - HMS Bellerophon 1815 with a certain General aboard and 2) modern photo of the deck of HMS Victory. Also - there are plenty of first hand accounts you can read, from men of the lower deck as well as officers, on the effort spent on keeping the decks clean and 'holy stoned'. Are you sure you want scruffy decks?
