I don’t actually look at it that way. I look at it as if you take their money, you besmirch your own honor because of what they did. I never take the money unless its very clear its my only way out because I am heavily damaged and/or undermanned. Instead I always say no and demand surrender.

Once you have a decent reputation and have a…[Read more]

Hello again all, new quick question. I have been trying to no avail, to fix a texture file for the Armed English Galleon (Wicked Wench Model) in GOF Eras 2. WickedWench01_lamps.tga.tx is the file I have been attempting to alter. This file controls the textures for the lamps as well as the great-cabin windows.

On this particular model the cabin…[Read more]

Hi all,

IIRC there is a merchant who acts like a fence and buys off your goods irrespectively of your rep. So no need for Honest Face perk. Do I remember correctly and if so, who is he?

I agree, self defence should not result in rep decrease, neither “I`ll pay youf if you leave me alone, never mind I killed half of your crew when attacking your good self…”

Thank you very much for the information. It would seem that there truly is no honor among thieves, eh? Be they in service to the crown or to themselves. All kidding aside, thank you for this write up. I now see that there would be no way of truly knowing how it all works without looking at the internals.

From looking over what you’ve found, It…[Read more]

There are many, many things that affect reputation and from the looks of things, not all of them are intuitive or even consistent, if you ask me.

But, a short list, for the general idea…

Your personal reputation will go up if you do nice things for citizen quests (rescue husband/wife, find friend/deliver message), rescue woman in jungle from…[Read more]

Thank you for your response. I appreciate it very much.

1. Glad to hear it! Will look forward to using this fix this evening.

2. I may be the only one who finds the system hard to understand, however I just can find no rhyme or reason to how it truly works at all from simply an outward point of view. I look forward to seeing what you can find!…[Read more]

Thanks.

Question 1: The flicker is not just you. I’ve noticed it and so has MK. I’ve looked into it various times before, but never narrowed it down. But, I tried again, and I finally found what causes it…it is a feature for the sun, not a bug, and only affects some hours of the day. I think the darker atmosphere of COAS made it less…[Read more]

Just a small note, LOVE ERAS 2!!! Started with an earlier version ’bout a year ago, came back around to see that the Maelstrom had been released. THIS.. this has made this game what I have longed for so long! Been enjoying every minute of the enhanced performance. PLEASE keep up the hard work, we unspoken general populous do genuinely appreciate…[Read more]

Cool! Thanks for the detailed write up. I’ll give it a shot later today and see how it goes.

Not too much trouble. If you want to try your own for test:

Using file explorer, navigate to RESOURCESoundsMUSIC

Create a folder and call it SMPirates. Put all your converted music files inside the folder.

Navigate to RESOURCEINI and create a folder called SMPirates. Copy everything inside the COAS folder into your new SMPirates…[Read more]

OK, turns out I was wrong about the fort damage problem. Someone else tried Belize fort and it turns out you can’t do any damage to that fort at all; I tried in my own game and the claim was correct. I suspect that the problem you had with Martinique, though only “partial” is similar.

So, I troubleshoot and find that it is only certain forts…[Read more]

Yes, you could add dialog like that.

Then, in the dialog.h file, change the top to add how many extra dialog lines

string DLG_TEXT_BASE [240] = {

If you add 3 more lines at the bottom, then add 3:

string DLG_TEXT_BASE [243] = {

“This is the last line in the current file”,
“This is line 1 added”,
“This is line 2 added”,…[Read more]

Sorry I somehow missed this…but Marty just supplied me save with similar problem and I was able to fix this. If you still have this game going (but probably had to abandon due to the relation problems), try the update.

I got your email and using your save, I traveled to Bermudes and they immediately started a fight upon landing. So, with this save, I was able to troubleshoot the problem and find a solution. I just updated Itch with a fix and now, when I land in Bermudes, no more immediate fight.

Thanks for your help.
