Wow, I didn’t even notice the cursor. Blind. That is now corrected in the update.zip.

Baby steps.

Did you try it on the first one? .001. That error will occur if you don’t.

If you did, maybe one/more missing, or they are incomplete. Do you have 18 in total 001-018, and are 1-17 716,800 kilobytes (KB) the last .018 one 321,162 KB?

Yes, those are two problems from the original game that have not been corrected.

1. There are a few ports that if one has 5 or more ships in their squadron, the 5th (or more) ship will wind up in a bad spot (if an enemy of that adjacent port). I know that Le Francois will have that problem where the extra ships will be in Fort-de-France’s…[Read more]

Sounds like you need the rest of the game files.

OK, try the Update.zip to correct that flickering texture issue on ship’s first load at sea.

Ah ha! I think I’ve identified the likely culprit. In DX8, they used a Render State setting D3DRS_ZBIAS, which they removed in DX9 and replaced with either D3DRS_DEPTHBIAS or D3DRS_SLOPESCALEDEPTHBIAS, use of which needs to be determined and figured based on what the render is supposed to achieve. I made a guess as to which setting to use, and…[Read more]

As my test with the Licorne showed, the same holds true for your new ship. DirectX 9 renders those spots incorrectly at first sea load, but any time an interface display (ESC, F2, quicksave, etc.), it corrects itself.

DirectX 8 renders it correctly.

Same issue, same result.

I chose L’Ollannais since he starts with the Licorne. I have confirmed that this flickering happens when first entering sea mode, only with DirectX 9, and also, as you mentioned, will immediately stop doing this when any interface screen is displayed. Quick Save throws up a small interface display, and stops it. F2 character display screens…[Read more]

It is likely you started a game without that option, then when later selecting it, it looks like you need to re-init the goods in order for the weight/cost options to take effect.

Download the ERAS2.6DX8.zip Move your START.exe, start.ini and the modules folder to another folder/place for safekeeping, then place the DX8 start.exe, start.ini and modules/techniques in the game folder and run the same test. I want to see if DX8 renders that…[Read more]

Keep in mind that the DirectX 9 version was converted by me, requiring a compile against different DX includes and changes to many types/methods that are no longer supported in a conversion from 8 to 9; there may ultimately be differences that don’t work for different hardware types that I can’t adequately test against because I don’t have access…[Read more]

Indeeed. Looks like those are all set in battle_interface/LandInterface.c. I suppose that makes sense 🙂

Find these lines and raise the values similarly:

objLandInterface.textinfo.islandname.scale = 0.9;
objLandInterface.textinfo.villagename.scale = 0.9;
objLandInterface.textinfo.locationname.scale =…[Read more]

OK, find this file, and these lines:

battle_interface/BattleInterface.c

This is the place, date time
BattleInterface.textinfo.Date.scale = 0.9;
BattleInterface.textinfo.Location.scale = 0.9;
BattleInterface.textinfo.Speed.scale = 0.9;
BattleInterface.textinfo.Ammo.scale = 0.9;
BattleInterface.textinfo.Ammo2.scale = 0.9;

Post up a screen shot and describe what parts of the screen you want resized. That will help pinpoint what needs to be modified for the display you are wanting resized.

This is interesting because I’ve been running this at 1920*1080.
