I have been having the same issue as well. There are several other serious problems when getting to advanced level and playing multiple national questlines (PANQL). I also have a Flying Dutchman that keeps spawning after I kill it and sell the ship. It comes back even after making it vulnerable and taking the ship – it doesn’t want to die.…[Read more]

Mooring annoyance.

I reported earlier that after boarding my ship from a shore location I was thrown to a mooring place nearby. This seems to have been addressed with one exception:

– when sleeping onboard my ship after waking up and going to sea I have to enter world map and sail to whereever before I can moor.

TEHO is worth a playthrough but is very frustrating just starting out – on a closed quest stairstep beginning (although I’ve heard that’s changed since I played last). The main thing I don’t like about TEHO is their very limited ships choices. The ships they have are very nice – but so few.

This is the link for the textures:

The textures are from a website called Texturelib, they are completely free to use. I have only edited them in Photoshop to match the colors of the jungles in COAS, because the original texture was more yellowish and it was not a seamless texture. I have made it seamless using the offset tool and spot healing tool in photoshop. Regarding my…[Read more]

Modern Knight,

Thanks for the response, very detailed and helpful– I appreciate the complexity of the task you all have taken on. I’m guessing from your description of testing PANQL that you don’t necessarily have to follow the Dutch, French, English, Spanish sequence of the original mod since you started with the French? Sorry about…[Read more]

Frankly I see very few edits to your weather system. You say you spent hours on it – well I spent months on it.

I did a massive overhaul of the weather in ERAS2. This is why you see much lighter CORRECT tropical colors – much less fog – much less rain – way different skies – many more wave types – and much more translucent see-through water in…[Read more]

You have to fight them between the 10th and 20th (not after the 20th).

Gosh I’m sorry Gnat, there are so few interested in this game these days that we don’t advertise are development often.

To answer you questions. 1) NO – PANQL is not currently active in your version of the game. HOWEVER, its funny that you mention this because Jeffrey and I have been in the process of finishing it to work for the last couple of…[Read more]

Not to be an ass but this almost seems like Noob question.

Haven’t you seen the many screenshots I’ve posted showing me fight the Spanish treasure fleets. Frankly that is one of my favorite missions and in ERAS2 Jeffrey and I made it so it is possible to face up to 50 ships in the treasure fleet.

There’s even a button on the dev console that…[Read more]

Sorry, no answer on the golden quest… though I found the same reference to it as you.

I have two questions regarding ERAs 2:

1) Does PANQL (play all national quest lines) definitely work? I have the accelerate PANQL option enabled, but after finishing the Dutch quest line and getting a French letter of marque I can’t get the French governor…[Read more]

Has anyone ever gotten this random quest called The golden fleet? I have been playing COAS/ERAS for years and I have never bumped into this quest, but I saw it on a website:

(thanks to 2ndMate from Pirates Ahoy! forum)

The quest start on the 1st day of the Month.
Depending on the Month given by Barkeep or Drunkards.
On the 1st day,
The ship will…[Read more]

Mr. Knight,

2 NPC chars that might be outside the ERAS time period but not too much:

1. Krzysztof Arciszewski, Polish generaaladmiraal in Dutch service. Active during Dutch Brazil campaigns. Governor of Dutch Brazil for a while IIRC. Artillery specialist.

2. Maurycy Beniowski, Polish-Hungarian adventurer active on Madagascar in XVIII century.…[Read more]

This one could be a nice fictional character.

If you guys would like to try my new HD textures for Eras/GoF, I would appreciate it and report back if you like them. Also, I’m sharing with you my weather system that I have been working on for quite a while, I would be happy if it makes it to new Eras release, of course if MK finds it proper for the mod. Cheers!

1. Put the files from Textures…[Read more]

***This is resolved.*** I had a file that was updated soon after I first downloaded the game, and some of the script in the old file caused this problem.

Thanks again to Jeffrey for the assistance!

Thanks for the kind words and the support, I know what MK has been through because I am an old member, I have had moments when I completely stopped playing Storm engine games, but there’s always a bit of juice left, because games like Assasin’s creed IV: Black flag or similar games don’t give me that pirate life simulation with all their perfect…[Read more]

Hi all,

well, this is a sad state of things. Still, I understand Mr. Knights frustration, it seems that the old dogma of “quality always wins in the long run” does not hold up. It`s been a long run, with lots of quality but no commercial success.

I agree with Samir that videos on the Tube could help with promotion but have no skills to put up…[Read more]

Ah, that’s too bad. I think the best way to gain money is to promote Eras and Maelstrom on Youtube, by making nice gameplay videos. Maybe that would be a good way to start. That’s what I’m doing. If the sales raise, eventually money could be collected for the new website. When did Orazio leave? He was a great modeler.

I fully realize this website is outdated. I spent thousands on trying to build a new one and got swindled by someone I was assured could do the work and would be helped by his older brother who was one of Twitter’s original developers. He was not up to the task and just gave up. That’s what I get for trusting family recommendations.

I have a…[Read more]
