Well Jeffrey would have to answer this. I would say yes on the surface though. The new MAELSTROM(TM) game engine is capable of running any of the storm series of games.

Well it just so happens that in my current game at level 42 – after having completed the first half of the Morgan quest and the City of Abandoned Ships quest, I have just started the Dutch quest line. I have to travel again in a couple days but will be playing the next two days quite a lot. So if I run into this problem I am sure Jeffrey will…[Read more]

My fault…I’ve prepared for Portugal, but still waiting on an updated flag texture, but apparently my newest update still has remnants of my preparation for that faction, so there is a mismatch of data.

Find RESOURCEINIrigging.ini file. Open in text editor. Find [FLAGS] and look down a few rows of text.

Change this line:

TextureRows =…[Read more]

Hmmm, I tried every flag, in both 32 bit and 64 bit, but don’t see a problem.

So I have a few questions:

What version are you playing? 32 bit or 64 bit?

Does this happen every flag change? Just one in particular? Or just a periodic, random problem?

Can you turn on logging and see if there is any relevant message in either system.log,…[Read more]

Ah, yes, update includes the new ship and additional ship skin textures you provided. Forgot to mention that.

Also decided I wasn’t very clear on the Cartagena — it is a revamped fort model and location for the land encounter of the area, done by Orazio.

Jeffrey, You didn’t mention it in the update so I have to ask – did that last update also include all of those new ship skins/hull folders I gave you as well?

MK

Two other questions: Was that ship pricing an error?

No error. I checked and the base price of that ship is 8,000. According to MK, that is appropriate. You just found a really good deal. Some ships are created as “stolen” which will greatly decrease their price (same for when you try to sell one). Also, some shipyards are cheaper than…[Read more]

New update:

Config starting directory for Save/Launch

Change all internal strings to use standard

Correct island tracing for AI runaway when destination is inside land mass.

Change ship AI follow when lead ship stopping to use offset distance

Correct AIBalls save/load object 32/64 bit compatibility

Random number generation correction

Fix…[Read more]

“I downloaded all the 1-12 files as a zip from MEGA…In no particular order, I unpacked the 1-12 files…because I didnt use 7zip?”

I don’t recommend using another program to unpack, because I think other people have had problems where some content goes missing or is corrupted when using WinRAR or others. Considering I have tried many battles…[Read more]

I will probably have the update out later today…it will fix this because the code for the whole feature will be implemented for you.

A slew of other updates as well…

Well that’s interesting…the fact you can see that button means that I made a mistake, because nobody is supposed to have that feature yet. It is intended for my next update.

I must have copied a newer .ini file that I’m still working on for that screen into the update files by mistake.

For now, ignore that button because you’re not supposed…[Read more]

I have just uploaded a “base” version, that is the most current Loyalty update. Check your PMs for the message threads that pertain to they Loyalty version. Use that same link, but look for files ERAS2.8Loyal.7z.001 – ERAS2.8Loyal.7z.012.

Download them all, then use 7zip, pointed at the first file and extract archive. It should grab everything…[Read more]

Good news to hear that the old, consistent crashes with Wine are resolved with our newer version. However, that is accidental. I have been able to determine root causes of many of the original game errors/flaws that contributed to crashes in Windows, and subsequently fix them, that probably helped resolve Wine issues at the same time.

But…[Read more]

In ERAS the realistic setting doesn’t govern the ships showing up from different periods in ports battles or shipyards. The realistic setting governs what you will find in shipyards and relegates the selection to smaller ships. If set you will almost never see larger warships at shipyards.

I have personally set the encounterable ships in game by…[Read more]

REPAINTING ships? Yes! Get to work with that immediately!

Hmmm, did not realize this was such a hotly desired feature. It will be in the next update.

Just uploaded a whole bunch (over 80) new screenshots on my Flickr page. Many of these show off some of the new improved/reworked and reskinned ships that will be in the next Loyalty patch and our commercial version. My thanks to Maltacus as I used many of his skins. Probably about one third of the new skins are from him. I’m especially proud of…[Read more]

Update coming (though not yet uploaded, pending some testing) for next Loyalty release:

I finished two item interface changes. You will be able to exchange items with any officer or companion from the character item screen in one simple interface, similar to the trader screen. Your hero items will be the “trader” (on the right pane) and you can…[Read more]

In the stair. For the original COAS, with 3 officer limit:

Of course, in ERAS, if you have 6 of them…well, it’ll be a little crowded.

Entering the prison all my four surviving officers followed me but upon exiting (after taking a prisoner-treasure quest while I was at it) none of the officers follow…

I found why. The problem is there are no officer corresponding locators for the emerge from the prison. When you first enter a fort location from the jungle, the PC locator is…[Read more]

QUOTE “Just out of curiosity, what happens if you have conquered the city before talking to Morgan? Will he not be there or his doors locked?”

I don’t know??? Good question.

So I will just say Maltacus that I have never taken Port Royal in all of these years playing the game. If anyone has I would like to know. One time I even made a video…[Read more]
