Well, Oldtimer,
that might be it but, I believe that if the other heroes joined you is because they trust that your decisions will be more profitable than theirs.

And welcome PapaWulf! Hope you enjoy the game as much as I do!
Also, one little tip, try and get another ship to your fleet, one that has a high cargo and crew capacity so you can…[Read more]

Heh…well, it worked. The best one of the bunch was Claude Duval, who had 100 in Gunnery. I now only need a ship’s surgeon for my flag. I did try many in-game days to get officers to spawn in the tavern, but it just wasn’t working. Also, as things worked out, I have a female bosun, and she’s damned good at it; before I could heave-to on a Dutch…[Read more]

Mr. Jeffrey,

this is the cheesiest manipulation of of game mechanics I ever heard of…

Rgds, Oldtimer

Maaaaan…that sounds like it would be a huge help. No telling how many captains I met in the tavern! I’m acting on that advice next session, for sure.

Welcome to the forum. Glad you dropped by.

If playing ERAS, I usually just start asking the other “hero” types (they are the same characters you can select from at New Game) to join me. If the agree, then you get them and their ship…sell their ship and reassign them as a fighter or ship officer if you need those positions filled. I think…[Read more]

IMO tactical sailing detracts from gaming experience and is unfun.

Rgds, Oldtimer

Ok, I found it. I had to add some strings in Program/INTERFACE

Jeffrey, how do to add this logo to the GoF 1.2 version? I have found the file in GOF 2.0 directory, but I cannot manage to make it show up in GoF 1.2. The file is located in Textures/MainMenu/Russian/TextLSC00.tga.tx

Ok, I will check it out. But I noticed that GOF 1.2 and Eras Mod have different scaling, because in GOF 1.2 everything seems to be larger…

Thanks Jeffrey! I tried editing the values, found a good one for my 1600×900 resolution.

Change INTERFACENationRelation.c. Go to line 114 and adjust the 700 number. Given your screenshot, I am changing it to 680 for the next update:

CreateString(true,”EngH”,””,”INTERFACE_ULTRASMALL”,COLOR_NORMAL,680,134,SCRIPT_ALIGN_CENTER,1.0);
CreateString(true,”FraH”,””,”INTERFACE_ULTRASMALL”,COLOR_NORMAL,680,190,SCRIPT_ALIGN_CENTER,1.0);…[Read more]

It’s not just one place. There would be many edits in the following files:

battle_interfaceBattleInterface.c
battle_interfaceLandInterface.c
battle_interfaceLogInterface.c
battle_interfaceWmInterface.c

The easiest way would be to open each file and search for the word “scale” (without quotes). Sometimes it will be .fontScale, sometimes it is…[Read more]

How to fix this lines, the fonts are too way on the right side? This is GoF 1.2 on Maelstrom engine.

This is not a bug. I was just wondering how to increase the font size in dialogues, F2 menu etc? It seems that on higher resolutions, everything looks smaller (which is normal of course).

So,

I did some more testing:

– sailed overloaded from Lighthouse of Tortuga to Port Tortuga and could moor there. Mind that the Moor icon never changed to World Map during this very short voyage.

– sailed overloaded from Lighthouse to Port au Prince, took a prize along the way and moored at Gonaive. Sailed from Gonaive to Port au Prince and…[Read more]

Mr. Jeffrey,

THX for your attn.

There are also problems with 3-D sailing:

– when sailing with an overloaded ship from Lighthouse of Tortuga to Port au Prince I cannot moor there. I have the World Map icon top right but Moor icon top left does not appear. Others do.

– also when mooring and then immediately going back on board and mooring again…[Read more]
