Yes, you are right. I checked and now it’s working. Actually, I installed original Age of Pirates 2 game, and took the Textures/Loading folder and replaced it with the one in GOF 1.2. Also I took original folder from Progra/Locations/innit and replaced the ones in GoF 1.2. I don’t know if it will affect the boarding screen, because I think they…[Read more]

I haven’t looked at 1.2 for a long time, but I still have some save games. I went to Nevis and the loading screen looks fine to me. You could try sending me a save game so I can investigate that location’s loading image setting. It is supposed to be an image at this path: loadinginsideshipyard1.tga.tx. Also, with the save game file, send me…[Read more]

Myth gave me many potential updates, and within his package he offered some changes for the Tavern overnight that I did not yet intend to adopt, but I accidentally copied some of his code that applied to that feature into a file. I fixed this problem and it is uploading to Itch right now. It should be fixed as soon as it completes its upload and…[Read more]

So,

pertaining to the above. What happens is that when renting a room in a ordinary and/or pirate tavern you get a loading screen depicting ship cabin which you can exit by task manager only and the game exits by itself. So no being hi-jacked as I suspected.

Game freezes.

When hiring a room in Puerto Principe pirate tavern the loading screen freezes and task manager shows nothing afterwards, i e game had exited. Looks like it is a new feature as the loading screen seems to hint that PC has been imprisoned. Suppose it is a bug.

Rgds, Oldtimer

My mistake, it was actually the texture made by TheBlackKnight.

Thanks as always Jeffrey! 🙂

Hmmm, they look exactly the same to me?

Anyway, in the RESOURCEINIinterfacescharacter_all.ini, the [MAIN_BACK] section shows the texture file used: textureName = interfacescard_desk.tga.tx

Copy that file from GOF 1.2 RESOURCETexturesINTERFACES to ERAS.

Dear devs,

just equipped a cuirass as Miss Devlin. It is VISIBLE!!! B-d-y gorgeous too…

KUDOS to you, keep up the good work!

Rgds.,

Don’t know…MK found and added many models over the years. Some he may have decided don’t work, doesn’t like them, are duplicates, or haven’t yet been retextured, or in some cases, may actually be used by something other than Pirates, even though they were named such…any number of reasons, I suppose.

Code looks fine. You can add a message that will display in the rolling text of the upper right of the screen to verify the F4 key registered with the game:

void ExecuteConsole()
{
RealShips[sti(Pchar.Ship.Type)].TurnRate = 16.07;
Log_SetStringToLog("Success");
}

You should see the Success text message, then F2 to check Maneuverability…[Read more]

Ok, thanks for the info Jeffrey 🙂

Is this the ship described, “An English designed armed merchant ship built in the 1670s-80s…?”

I loaded this ship, but I don’t see what is missing? Do you have a screenshot to show what is missing?

It’s still enabled in ERAS, but it is very difficult; the damage to masts in COAS/GOF was way too high, so a few hits and they would fall.

In ERAS, we changed the damage to be dependent on the cannon caliber, but also the ship class, so that large ships, presumably have much tougher masts. Also, the masts are much sturdier…according to MK,…[Read more]

Btw, what happened with the naval battles that I cannot destroy the masts of enemy ships? I remember that in ordinary COAS I was able to destroy masts, but in Eras I haven’t had a chance even with large ships and with a lot of cannons. Has that feature been removed? I remember it was buggy in GOF 2.0 version.

I have tested it. It’s 90% better now. Still happens something like a stutter from time to time on Spanish Main, but it’s not a big deal, FPS is stable now. Thanks Jeffrey!

Not a problem…check out the foliage/FPS now, I think you’ll notice 🙂
