Cannon Control.

Bought 2 culverins to replace lost ones on my zabra. When I try to install them they stay in the hold and cannon layout changes to 6 per broadside and 4 stern.

Well, that might(?) explain things. I “changed” flag to English which the French thought fishy. I could tell the guards that I flew English flag though… Anyway when under Spanish flag which I “flew” on being washed ashore I was friendly to Spanish patrols but not city guards.
I did not think abt. entering a French settlement…[Read more]

That did it, many thanks Jeffrey.

Find the following lines and comment out the if( and the closing brace } lines like this:

//#20190113-03
//if(!CheckAttribute(arItm, "skipPerkCheck")) {
chref.model = GetSubStringByNum(chref.HeroModel, sti(arItm.model));
//#20180103-02 Hero animation extension
if (CheckAttribute(chref, "HeroAnim"))…[Read more]

The shore chosen is not fully random. I actually give the player a better chance, as it would suck to wind up an English character, stuck on Saint Martin, with only the enemy Dutch town of Marigot. So how it works:

It will only choose shores on islands with colony nations that match whatever Flag perks your character can fly. However, the game…[Read more]

Nation relations.

Sailing for England as Mary Harvey I survived a sinking. My Nation relations are neutral with all. Still I was attacked as an enemy agent by the French upon entering a French city. Spaniards are friendly though…
Had no ship by that time so I could not fly a flag.

I got a crash on starting when I tried changing the characterutilite.c. Could you show exactly how it is supposed to look?

The change is in charactersCharacterUtilite.c, function void SetEquipedItemToCharacter(ref chref, string groupID, string itemID).

Find the line: if(!CheckAttribute(arItm, “skipPerkCheck”)) {

The gloves, girdle and boots have the skipPerkCheck attribute, so they fail the ‘if’ test. If you want them to be considered, remove the if {} block…[Read more]

Confirmed this is a mistake for the ship init. Will be fixed in next upload update for ERAS.

The common brigantine (SHIP_BRIGANTINE), beautiful and nimble little vessel, has 16 cannons and 7 cannons on the side when you look at it but is incorrectly coded to have only 14 and 6 on the side in ships_init.c.

The fencing gloves, girdle and boots do not alter the characters appearance. I would like to change that so that every “cirass” item type can have a unique character model tied to it (for my favourite heroes/villains at least).

If I recall correctly they are coded somewhere to specifically not alter the characters appearance, even if you alter…[Read more]

Smugglers have bad business sense!

They attack to rob me now and then though Im friends with them. Thats lame… After some successful deals these attacks should terminate.

Ship upgrades.

Hi all,

wanted to upgrade speed of my chaloupe. Exorbitant materials count plus
c. 160 000 gold. How are upgrade cost calculated?

BTW, I upgraded some larger ships with heavier cannon and improved manouverability. Their cost seems acceptable. IMO the effect on manouverability is too high, one gets more than one paid for(sic!),…[Read more]

I have no control over the Itch downloads. If you are using an internet browser to download, you might have better results if you download and install their free Itch client, the use the client to download, instead of a browser.

Hey! hello to everyone here, well the thing is, i am having an issue with the itch.io download, it restars every time even with a percent dowloaded, and it is so annoying taking in count that i have a shitty internet (also with a stable connection the download restart), and take a lot of time to download these problem can be resolved here or i…[Read more]

Mr. Knight,

good to hear that the issue is known.

BTW, you asked earlier if someone is using the frying pan as a weapon. I do and also two of my fighters. Things are going well…
