Welcome to the Reef Steven!

I am glad you are enjoying the mod and thanks for the compliments.

Yes we have a number of POTBS ships in the mod. The 20 gun Dutch Fregatte is the Postillionen from POTBS. One of our Dutch 2nd raters is the Frederick Willem zu Pferde from POTBS (I was instrumental in importing that ship for PA! and in its conversion…[Read more]

Sorry Jeffrey,

Here I am pontificating to others to read my “Read me” files before playing ERAS2 and I didn’t read the one you included.

Because of this I cost myself a great deal of time and pain. I ruined the version of ERAS2.1.5.8 that I have been working with. No worries because I back everything up daily. Didn’t lose anything because I…[Read more]

Yeah I noticed the cool picture of the Galleon on the Splash screen. That’s cool, because the Germans have Batavia as theirs.

OK so I spoke too soon. I ran your patch files and the fighter added files fine. However when I put in the test patch files, the game won’t start.

Here’s the error file and system file errors:

COMPILE ERROR – file:…[Read more]

Yes I have been playing it. No issues yet. I want to build the next full release off of that version. I also want to still offer the large download, but also a broken up download in 6 pieces like the Germans have done.

Well I hope the test has a positive outcome! My thoughts are that your announcement will simply be ignored.

I tried to download the newest German edition (MOTCS) the other night(I speak German – lived there for 5 years). I played the previous version which was very good.

Jan has it broken up into 6 parts I believe. After I got them all…[Read more]

Looking really awesome Orazio! Any chance this might be done in a week or so? I found two additional ships, so I am delayed another week to week and a half with the patch. I also added more weapons.

So we are up to 4 new ships (12 with skins), Two new firearms and 11 new hand weapons. And possibly your new cabins along with all of the other…[Read more]

Congratulations on getting this to work Jeffrey! This is quite an achievement. It is really too bad you weren’t around a couple of years ago before everything went sour. If this had existed then we probably could have got enough of a team together to actually begin porting New Horizons over to GOF. One of Boelen’s excuses for not moving that…[Read more]

Thanks for all of your hard work Jeffrey! I myself run Windows 7 so I hope it will be OK on my system once its ready to test.

I hope you will stick around until my part of the mega patch is done. I am about three quarters finished now. Two new ships (although if we go by PA! definitions that’s six new ships because of number of skins. I am…[Read more]

Very interesting Jeffrey.

This is indeed the first step to accomplish what I need!

The next step is find out if —- in the extended area could I get the game to recognize a new model? Such as the SOFS islands, AOP1 Caribbean Tales islands or original POTC islands?

If I can find out how to do this I can rapidly import the work I have already…[Read more]

Just looks fantastic Orazio! Keep up the good work. My learning curve has been very steep with Blender and with MAYA. I have learned 90 percent of what I have from watching online tutorials on youtube. Importing and Exporting in other formats and conversion is still an issue with me. Also renaming and assigning locators is still very much a…[Read more]

OH WOW! JUST WOW!!!

That looks GREAT Orazio!

I would love to have some new integrated cabins in ERAS! Its actually one of the things I am working on but using modded cabins that were made for SOFS and TEHO with new textures from some of the Corsairs Harbor modders.

So my plan was instead of making a whole new category of cabins, to simply…[Read more]

Jeffrey you are the MAN!!!!

YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This really makes my whole week! Thank you!

This is an AMAZING additional capability that players are really going to enjoy. It completely changes the usual mechanics. I can’t wait to go into some of the quest battles where you usually end up alone or maybe with one really good fighter left.…[Read more]

Welcome back John,

Looking forward to hearing about your adventure. I’m glad you liked the article. I’ve heard the comment issue from others and will contact the host about it tomorrow. I haven’t got a clue why its happening.

Thanks on the offer, but I’m kind of a loner when traveling these days John. I don’t make friends easy. Been let down…[Read more]

OK damn.

The only person who might have the original files is Pirate KK and he hasn’t been on the PA! forums in forever. I have no way of asking anyone over there to contact him because I am banned over there because I am such bad person for calling a dickhead a “Hitler nutjob” for deleting long posts that I’d spent an hour writing.

I have one…[Read more]

I took a look. I gave you everything I had. I looked at other Storm series offerings like GIC, SOFS and the German MOTCS. Nothing.

If you go into the Common_hDirectX8 file there is a render.h file at the bottom
Maybe try taking that render.h file and duplicate it and rename the copy dx8render and plopping it into common_h or even leaving another…[Read more]

I am aware there are lots of duplicate files. Some are probably my fault even because of all my non documented experimentation with different games files from various sources over time. Sorry.

I don’t know what to recommend. Maybe compare them to a version of vanilla files if you have a pure vanilla version of the game?
