Oh one more special request for Orazio. On the other two deck frigate_mb could I get a texture map that will allow me to decorate the ship better – especially the stern. Also a flag pole for that ship would be great as well!

I don’t see how this would ever ruin any questlines. The merchant dialogue is different for receiving cargo so he will always accept your cargo. If you are short because of rats that’s part of the challenge – I try to buy extra when I can if its perishable goods. In the questlines where you have to deliver goods, the merchants will not refuse you…[Read more]

OK, looks like that still give a 10% chance. This will make the chance for them to lock a service zero:

#define PGG_TASK_MITIGATE 110

It won’t be immediate. You have to wait for the effect, because any currently ‘locked’ services you will have to wait until they reopen (usually a few days to a week…’game time’) as it only affects when the ‘task’ for the NPC is decided upon at the beginning of the decisions; once they are ‘locked into service’ the time has to be waited out as…[Read more]

I understand why you felt the need to add this feature for realism, but in my opinion it makes it hard to play the game and complete quests. This could potentially ruin some quest-lines if you get unlucky. Realism is all well and good, but I don’t think it should come at the expense of gameplay.

I tried the fix mentioned above but it didn’t seem…[Read more]

Orazio my friend- YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!!

THANKS!

I have SO many plans ready for you that I have taken pictures of with a digital camera. I just need to get them up on my FLICKR page and start a topic here on ship plans. Excited to see what else you come up with! Still working on that other stuff to get to you. Sorry its taking me so long. I work…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback Chris. I really appreciate it.

So to address a couple of things…

As to the merchant availability, as Jeffrey said we discussed it and tweaked it down, but I like it like that. Why? REALISM!!! People do not consider that trading was a difficult thing back in the day. Sometimes captains had to wait for weeks to get the…[Read more]

Hello Jackson,

Thanks for the interest. You are certainly a rare bird to comment on my historical research endeavors. Few seem to be interested sadly. Until I am actually published myself, (beyond magazine articles, military journals and academic conference competition papers) I am right there with you as an amateur historian. Hopefully…[Read more]

Also the comments section on MKS History Lesson is down and i couldn’t reply to anything, I don’t know if this was intentional on your behalf or not.

Hey MK cant really help you with this as i know very little about it but thought i should leave a comment to get this recirculating, any updates on the book? Would definitely buy it if your previous articles are anything to go by and just wanted to say thanks for putting in the time to write these for amateur historians such as myself. Are there…[Read more]

…there are so many characters in the game, it is very difficult to get into the store and sell goods, hire crew, etc without the NPC being busy with other customers. Its especially hard in the beginning when you are doing government tasks that are time limited; finding the smugglers in 2 days, wait 4-5 days till smugglers can see you and I’ve f…

I have good news and bad news for you.

The good news is that the other day, I had uploaded a new base set into a private section on Mega, and had not yet put that into the public folder. I just did that and a new set is available.

The bad news is that would mean a whole new download and that time it takes. But, it might not result in a corrupt…[Read more]

I finally managed to download the files, however no matter how many times I try, when I go to unpack, part20 ends up corrupted. The game still works but is missing lots of sounds. I managed to copy over a lot of them from the base install but there are many unique ones that remain missing, like gunshots.

Hello guys,
First off let me say thank you for your continued dedication to this mod; it’s the only playable AOP2 game I’ve been able to run without crashes. The game runs pretty straightforward and I like most of the mods features you can toggle on and off. That being said, two things are bothering me; I started 3 new games with different…[Read more]
