New Ship: Caravel

This mod replaces the the current Galleon ship to a Caravel.

The caravel was developed in about 1451, based on existing fishing boats under the sponsorship of Henry the Navigator of Portugal, and soon became the preferred vessel for Portuguese explorers like Diogo Cão, Bartolomeu Dias or Gaspar and Miguel Corte-Real, and by Christopher Columbus.
Being smaller and having a shallow keel, the caravel could sail upriver in shallow coastal waters. With the lateen sails attached, it was highly maneuverable and could sail much nearer the wind, while with the square Atlantic-type sails attached, it was very fast. The exploration done with caravels made the spice trade of the Portuguese and the Spanish possible. However, for the trade itself, the caravel was later replaced by the larger carrack, which was more profitable for trading.

If you want to keep your normal windward username (for multiplayer aswell) instead an username only for mods or keep the galleon instead of replacing it, you can add the Caravel as a new ship.
Just follow the steps below:

1.Copy the Galleon.bytes file In Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content. Then make a new folder in "My Documents/Windward" folder and call it Ships, put the Galleon.bytes in there, rename it to Caravel.bytes and put a txt file in the Ships folder as well with the text from here http://textuploader.com/5iqnb . (copy it) and name it Caravel.txt .


2. After that you start the game, unable mod Caravel (if you don't have any mods selected it will still work in vanilla), open your server, typ: /upload Ships/Caravel.bytes and then typ /set Ships/Caravel.txt.
If you followed these steps it would keep both ships in-game. I couldn't make a mod that just does this straight away. Please send me a comment with any questions or if you have a server with the ship installed because I like playing online.
Have fun with it and a rating is much appreciated!
