Fix for dupe SHIP_LIST during add

I am not sure the files are consistent about adhering to the proper use for those, but they stand for the following:

Gen = Genitive case, typically meaning possessive
Dat = Dative case, indirect recipient of direct object
Acc = Accusative case, direct object of verb

When you see @, @ or similar in the quests_texts, those are “token” strings that will get replaced by the actual nation, city, ??? name. If they need to be reordered, or rearranged a different way for some languages, that becomes a problem. Because it will just seek out @ and replace with “England” or @ and replace with Port Royal, etc.

The <sNation>, @<sNation>, <sCity>, <sName> those things found in texts are referring to what? I need to change it or add another one because the way PT is written it doesn’t match the way EN is written so things will not make sense if I can’t change it.

It’s been mentioned a couple times recently…the missing soldier muskets. I found the problem today and it will be fixed in the next update.

I am shamelessly going to resurrect this thread because I think we can make it into a collection thread for Gentlemen of Fortune YouTube Let’s Plays.

YouTube is one of the absolutely best ways to market games. The big games companies – like Paradox – realize that. We need to get more Let’s Plays and YouTube material going. Vincent Spencer’s Let’s…[Read more]

Update on my work so far:

I’m getting closer to a beta for the PT lang, I say beta as it needs polishment as I can’t translate it accurately without context so I would want these characters to add to the font image: ç,Ç,ã,â,á,à,ê,é,è,î,í,ì,õ,ô,ó,ò,û,ú,ù,Ã,Â,Á,À,Ê,É,È,Î,Í,Ì,Õ,Ô,Ó,Ò,Û,Ú,Ù. so I can test it before bringing it here, I did saw…[Read more]

Teasers of some of the new ships in the next update:

Thanks to Orazio for these great new…[Read more]

What the suffixes somethingGen, somethingAcc and somethingDat mean?

Yeah! I tried it again last night and clicked the Restore Default button and then it worked fine and there’s no problem now either when reloading.

The game has developed since I last played it at the end of last year. I love the addition of the Portugese. When I left Nevis I immediately spotted two Portugese ships too. It was like they were…[Read more]

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]
