That is usually a quirk if I add a new control and that sort of thing will happen to an old save when it’s loaded after a new control was introduced (the jumping awhile back is an example). It doesn’t normally happen to a new game that is reloaded and I certainly haven’t added anything recently.

You should be able to load the save, then…[Read more]

Here’s the save file if you need it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ypMwQzK0mkL_-TqurEq34S83KFcbRihZ/view?usp=sharing

I started a new game a couple of days ago and saved it in the first town. Now when I go into the game and want to continue, the controls are screwed up and I can’t move the character correctly. Is this a known problem? Mouse doesn’t move the view either, only up and down.

Would be nice to Select your own PIRATES on auto-levelled characters because as it is it resets the abilities to the minimum and you can’t use that character properly anymore as he doesn’t have the required level for the ship.

Hello. Jeffrey already knows me, my name is Dmitry. I am from Russia. Created an account due to the fact that I have a fix for the problem above. I’m talking about the glass book on the shipyard table. But Jeffrey has not responded to letters for a long time – apparently busy. Download the fix can be on the link below, but besides him there are a…[Read more]

Ah, sorry to have mistaken that. I guess I’d only seen the land attacks, and couldn’t figure out the sea attacks. There’s always a point in the game where my reputation or something prevents me from getting further offers, so I don’t get many chances. Thanks again for all of your efforts, not just this.

The Pirate Propositions are the same as in COAS, and theoretically should be a 50/50 chance for one of two types: they are stranded on shore, or they are moored close by. If you’ve never seen the other type in COAS, that is just a chance of luck.

You can figure out the type by watching the dialog, or reading the log file.

If the dialog…[Read more]

Yes, the ambient light does not affect the characters, so they remain lit as usual. The ambient light only works for the textures in the build of the cave model, as it’s being constructed and rendered. So that setting gets applied to the structure of the cave and if you set to zero, it will do nothing, whereas any other setting will apply and…[Read more]

Thanks for the update on the cave darkness question. On the laptop screen I always have some problems because because the room is often bright, but this was happening at night so it was perhaps an issue with variations in display drivers. Figures were well lit, but the setting was very dark or black apart from the torches. Setting the ambient…[Read more]

Okay, new question. I’ve tried several “Pirate’s Proposition” quests in ERAS 2, and they haven’t worked like what I’ve seen previously in playing CoAS. I get a clearly specified location like “Ruin Beach by Pirate Colony”, go there, and then nothing. No battle on the shore, nothing. There are some ships from the country we are attacking in the…[Read more]

No problem. It’s difficult for me to find a good number though because I can see fine on my machine. MK thinks the caves are still too light for him, LOL So I guess some people get different results due to hardware differences or something. If you look at the file, you will see I’ve tried different numbers over time for people, but it’s…[Read more]

You are the second person to complain about the cave darkness, so I think I will lighten them up a little.

The gamma settings are disabled unless running in full_screen mode. Back in the DX8 days, those settings were limited by DirectX to only work in full screen, so the options are disabled if you do not have full screen checked on. When I…[Read more]

Okay, I figured out how to search the forum via Google and found Jeffrey’s earlier response on modifying the ambient light in caves. Will try it. Thanks and sorry.

My apologies if this has already been covered, but I have a hard time searching the site forum. I’m finding ERAS2 to be very stable and great, but the one thing that is driving me crazy is the pitch blackness of caves. I’m playing on a laptop with Intel graphics, so the default screen brightness settings are somewhat limited. The two caves I…[Read more]

SHIP Crashing

Looks like companion ships crash again while in harbour. They do for me anyway and receive significant dam to rigging.

Rgds, Oldtimer

woah nice work didn’t expect anything less from the great Jeffrey!

I was correct that the quest was missing models; Portugal needs soldier models defined and I’ve added them so that quest works now. I tested it and the enemy group now spawns properly.
