I’ve got some more stuff to work on:

The English Pinnace has a different hit-box for the sailors:

That system log helped; the last line specified the exact problem. Doesn’t always do that, but this time told us the problem. That crash issue is fixed and will be in next update.

Balandra sails also corrected.

Thanks.

Some more things to look at:

Deputy at Havana rests is arms on air:

// I can’t confirm if others are doing the same but I know it isn’t something game-breaking even tho its a small detail.

The Balandra sails aren’t quite right in relation to the wind:

“…movement command based on cardinal,intercardinal directions…”

This feature will be added in the next update. I’ve already got it done and in testing.

I would like to see the Hero Types having some intrinsic bonuses instead of having only a Perk bonus that will be taken anyway. For example, the Carpenters having some bonuses in ship repair that are outside the perks so it will add more depth to the game and make choices so more needed according to the gameplay that you want.
And maybe even perks…[Read more]

As far as I know ,when the friendly ship defends it will fight with the enemy whilst trying to keep up, it will manuaver so its broadside can fire and it will slow the ship down significantly
Lets say I have a cheap flut carrying cargo with just enough crew I want it to sail in the correct direction and I can show it while I shoot the enemys…[Read more]

Technically, the Defend command is a simple “Follow the ship”

Using direct sail will not have encounters beyond the “islandships” (typically ships in port, fishing vessels, nearby vessels) for the “island area” you are within as defined on the worldmap (you don’t see this, but areas areas defined). The feature was not available in COAS, GOF…[Read more]

If you do it that way, sure, you don’t have to adjust the array size, but you still have to do everything else I described. And what would be the point? It is a bunch of work that doesn’t really gain you anything. For example:

You move line 8 and 22 to the end of the array and make them a blank “” entry.

Then you have to find the .c file that…[Read more]

Hm, but wouldn’t be better to keep those lines blank and add it to the end of the file? Like 1, 8 and 22 repeats themselves, wouldn’t it work if you keep them blank and add the text to the last line so the other texts that have nothing to do with 1, 8 and 22 wouldn’t get messed by the line count?

Hi all,

did anyone do a playthrough using only direct sail and no worldmap,sail to
How viable and fun is it whats the best options for it (arcade/tactical sailing,realistic weather on/off)
Do I get enough events like encounters and storms etc

Also Jeffrey could it be possible to give commands for friendly ships to follow not just defend and how…[Read more]

Oh, and almost forgot the next most important step, that makes it totally not worth the effort…then, for every other use of DLG_TEXT_BASE[xxx] that is higher than the removed lines, you have to adjust their number lower for whatever number of lines you removed from the .h before them…either by 1, 2, 3, however many prior to the original number…[Read more]

I don’t know, I didn’t write it.

I can guess…

The original was written in Russian and someone translated to English. Perhaps a particular Russian phrase that has subtle differences in that language, translates to pretty much the same English phrase that is essentially the same each time, so that’s what was done.

Is it necessary to keep them…[Read more]

Why the texts in ProgramDialogs do repeat themselves? Like in one line it says ‘Yeah, alright’ and some lines forward it says it again (sometimes it’s more than 4 times), so is that really needed?

@Jeffrey, Megaprime

Gentlemen,

THX for you help. I will be travelling for abt. 10 days from now without comp and net access. So I will come back to the issue when I am home again.

Don’t use the paths I put in my post. They were just an example because I do not know where you selected Itch to place your files.

Open notepad.

Navigate to Historical ERAS II in Itch client. Near the “Open” button at the bottom of the screen, click the little gear icon to “manage”. Click Manage, Open folder in explorer. At the very top of…[Read more]

Mr. Jeffrey,

the Maelstrom ERAS shortcut has Place: DirectX9_32bit so your Target and Start in will not work there as they are 64-bit.

My working desktop shortcuts are from the 64-bit folder and look like this for Maelstrom:

– Target:…[Read more]

If you changed a shortcut on your desktop that works, but the Itch client does not work, it is because the Itch client uses the shortcut in its own directory and you have to change that to match what you did on your desktop shortcut. For example, if you decided to put the game on the E drive:

Find the Maelstrom directory you installed the engine…[Read more]

Alright when you open the toml file you see a bunch of paths just like shortcuts you only need to edit 2 line and that is under “Config Eras 2”
Config ERAS2 is at the bottom

I show you my path as an example:
[[actions]]
name = “Config ERAS 2”
path = “DirectX9_64bitConfig.exe”
args =…[Read more]

No, the problem is that I do not know how to edit the thing. Reading instructions is one thing, understanding them another completely. And I installed ERAS module by itch.
