I use all of the old modding tools in the old standard bundle – I haven’t got sophisticated enough to learn anything new. https://buccaneersreef.com/forums/topic/ship-modeling-and-modding-tutorials/

I don’t change the meshes. I just reuse all of the hundreds of existing models and sometimes might change their heads out for one with a hat or no…[Read more]

I knew a few characters were taken by the Russians but do those mods allow for the game start date to be different depending on character and for them to have a correctly named historical vessel and equipment at the beginning like we have in ERAS. To my knowledge we are the only game that offers the specific start dates, ships and equipping. Old…[Read more]

Btw, which programs you use to make character meshes and textures?

It is stealing mate, and I sincerely apologise, though I saw them also in russian mods, but I guess you cannot do much about it. Unfortunately, a prerequisite for better visibility would be a cleaner forum. The one that you (we) have is a bit outdated unfortunately, and that’s what make new people go to PA, which is unfortunate because there are…[Read more]

The characters are one of the MAJOR features of ERAS and so when they are taken out and offered somewhere else I feel like its stealing ERAS Mojo away. The old GOF team who put together 1.2 (that I was a part of) never cared about my vision of where I wanted to take the mod. They had their own vision. That’s why we split up and started doing our…[Read more]

Also I have a new female character I’ve been working on – but have run out of historical personalities and fictional ones as well. Any suggestions? Should I just make something up or am I missing someone I don’t know about? MK

Sorry I overreacted. I’m just frustrated at how invisible we are. I’ve tried all kinds of things, and thrown away a lot of money and time, but we remain hidden away and only a very small group of people actually know about us or even like what we’ve done. I started out trying to make my perfect immersive pirate universe – and I should be satisfied…[Read more]

I’m really sorry if I have in any mean done anything wrong. I have reverted back to stock GoF 1.2 and kept only Edward Teach, Silas and Edward England. If that is ok. My goal is not to steal other’s work, but being that the mod if freely distributed, I thought it would be good to have those characters. On the other hand, my PA post is there…[Read more]

You know it sometimes feels like I have no voice – and no one realizes what I’ve worked on or what I am currently working on. Sometimes I get inspired and have the time and put out massive amounts of stuff…. and conversely sometimes things happen or people to crappy things to me or disappear and that makes me just stop working on anything for a…[Read more]

Email sent.

I believe I can send two.

The first one will be exactly just before the first henchman in the cave sees my character.

The second is before a boarding action before I headed to Belize. I forget at which point of the quest it’s at, but I’ll let you know when I send the email.

I’m on lunch break right now, so I’ll see to it shortly.

Do you have a save before the fight I can have? I will proceed to the cave, then troubleshoot the process to determine how/why fighting is disabled. Send save to [email protected]

I’m pretty much done with GoF 1.2. The link is here if somebody wants to try it. Take any resource that you want. I think I have done a good job with retexturing islands to HD. Maybe that could be used in upcoming Eras releases, I’m pretty much motivated to help develop Eras as much as…[Read more]

I did not expect that putting a new ship model in the game could cost so much money. The truth is that everything you tell me is a job of considerable dimensions and you have my respects for everything you have done all this time. I love this game and although sometimes I stopped playing it for several months, I even went for about 1 year without…[Read more]

If it helps, I only found out about ERAS2 by chancing on a few Youtube videos, and decided to look into why some were labeled AoP vs GoF. Normally, I use Steam for my game purchases, and they still have AoP on there under the Sea Dogs name. So, if people are looking for a pirate game, and they don’t bother looking past Steam, they may get AoP and…[Read more]

The Urca de Lima…yeah that was a badass ship.

Thanks MK for this detailed explanation. I don’t know this guy Luke that you mentioned. I know that there have been disagreements on the development of the mod. I actually chose to modify GoF 1.2 for certain reasons, and the first one is the fact that it’s an abandoned project and that I cannot be accused that I’m stealing someone else’s work. I…[Read more]

I am totally with Old Timer here. I have always preferred Dynamic as well. In fact I can tell you that I have never done a thing to modify tactical sailing in any way from vanilla. If you like the way I’ve gradually changed weather effects and the wider spread of speed and turning of ships, I want you to know that I have continually been tweaking…[Read more]

I saw the pictures you put up on the other post https://buccaneersreef.com/forums/topic/about-maelstrom-and-updates/

I loved that ship when I watched the series. I would love to have that model in the game. However, do you have a copy of the model and permission to use it? That’s the question. I can make an inquiry as well. I have several…[Read more]
