Thanks Jeffrey. Will try out your method.

I currently finish the sharp spy quest and rewarded the Expensive Cuirass (In era mode it is change to different name start with G..). Once i put on the expensive cuirass the weapon and sword that i wear no longer appear physically. (weapon and gun appear in the inventory on the weapon and gun…[Read more]

@ Jeffrey

Thanks for explaining. That sounds a good compromise – the “gluttons for punishment” can just play on ‘impossible’ for realism and lock-outs, the rest can get some respite. I’m sticking at ‘commodore’ level thanks 😉

There are a few ships with this problem, but there is usually a way to work around it. You will need enough free hold space for the cannons you wish to purchase.

Buy the size you want, then in the cannon change interface screen, you need to click the row of the new size in the lower right of the screen to highlight that option, then Fix All. It…[Read more]

I remember someone posting/telling me about this bug from COAS, so it’s been around since the beginning.

I took a look and found the problem. I fixed it and will post it in my next update upload. I will notify when I do that.

OK, after some review, I suspect those of you still having the locked services after changing to #define PGG_TASK_MITIGATE 110 might be playing higher than difficulty level 1.

I found that I also use the difficulty level of the game (sorry, I forgot about that) to figure the service locks, and higher difficulty levels reduce the mitigation. So…[Read more]

Hello!
There seems to be a problem with my class 2 “fast battleship” i just purchased. I just took it to Bermuda for upgrades, cannon size was not an option, and after I did most of them except for hull reinforcement I decided to strip it of its 4 pounders and put on 32 pounders. Upon trying to strip the guns from the ship, all of them are removed…[Read more]

Hi there 🙂

I think that there is a bug with quest “The church and the spirits of the grotto near Tortuga”. I don’t know is that in every church.

Here is some video explaining that.

When I complete the quest I can tell father that I ended it over and over again gaining reputation for that.

If you see the ‘grow up’ dialog, that usually means you are not commanding a ship class within one of Blood’s ship. I believe he starts out with the Arabella, which is a class 3 maybe? So before talking to him, make sure you are commanding a class 4 or better.

If that’s not the case, and you are within one class or better, you may have upset…[Read more]

To Schiavonna, thank you for your help. Also there is another problem when i try to recruit Peter Blood, he keep on reject by saying not interested or grow up first. Previously, i used to do reloading until he agree to join but now never happen no matter how many time i reload. As for other heroes no problem can easily recruit after a few…[Read more]

I also like the idea of having a base, possibly upgradable and that has some purpose. For example, in addition to storing things, we could recruit new sailors based on the reputation we have, leave there a ship, build facilities (and hire people) to produce certain goods, and so on.
Maybe the base will be acquired after completing an apposite…[Read more]

To be fair, the always busy was a side-effect of so many NPC characters and not really an intentional add; by putting so many characters in, the original feature to lock services became much more noticeable because COAS only had a handful of characters.

At first, the discussion became, “well, it’s kind of realistic,” so nothing was done. After…[Read more]

Yep the mitigate thingy doesnt seem to work, so download this make a backup of your original Pshero file just in case, overwrite the Pshero in Program/scripts

Its an older Pshero file which I modified I simply deleted those lines which made the traders and the smugglers…[Read more]

Out of the frying pan and into the fire,,,and back in the frying pan again…!!

Long story short: Out of the last temp accomodation (dont ask!), short stop in a “hotel (Hostel would be more accurate) in a really dodgy bit of Glasgow. And now currently residing in a…[Read more]

Quick fix till the ‘Governors’ do something about the trader/barmen reluctance to sell, if this is becoming a real issue for you 🙂

@ Jeffrey – that’s superb news about the texture flickering bug. I noticed it on first play through as Jan Willems, who starts with Armed English Merchantmen/BlackPearl. The dirty fix of quicksaving hasnt been working though, so there’s been a permenant backfacing texture on the deck. Wow! – ONE line of code. Kudos sir 🙂

Well finally took the plunge and installed latest ERAS version 2.6.7 (Farewell 1.5.7 compiled source – you were a worthy predecessor). I have to say I’m very impressed. In fact, I’ve been having an absolute blast!

Things of note:

The npc captains, if you “press” them into your service are somewhat ‘overkill’ with the equipment the have already…[Read more]

Great news, the historical events are a good idea, i like the idea to have an influence on history and change the fate
I also really like the idea of having my own base to develop
