I will address one at a time. First is this, since it seems the simplest:

2. Make “pirates proposition” quests logical. A commissioned officer or LoM holder should not propose attacking his own faction or a faction his country is neutral or allied with. Less proposals? Well, it would be a good thing… Pirates should not be present in natio…

I’m curious about this one: “395Mb MK Member Loyalty patch”

Where did you get that? I know nothing about that one, and if you applied it last, I suspect it’s old because all I recognized from your description is the 210 mb one, and the 64 bit one, and if you applied that 395 mb one I don’t recognize, last, it messed something up?

Anyway, the…[Read more]

Most script changes don’t require a new game to become effective during testing. Things like changing/adding locations, items, ships, etc. will often require a new game, but a trick to avoid that is often to “reinit” those things, by calling a procedure to reset their elements to a “new game” status. Another thing that requires a new game is if…[Read more]

Alas, another Loyalty update. I found out the day after I uploaded the last version, that FMOD had a new update on 7/3, which I did not notice.

So, new FMOD update to version 1.10.07 – 7/03/2018

Also, I found a bug that caused the game to crash, but it required a very specific scenario, which I assume most people won’t encounter, but I…[Read more]

First, the original COAS had no decision making for guns at all; if they had more than one gun in their personal inventory, they simply selected the last gun that was entered in the ITEMS/initItems.c file that they possessed. In other words, arbitrary (based on when guns are added randomly or to the end of the list, they get chosen) and…[Read more]

Update for Loyalty version

There was a slight problem with closed doors in the new taverns for Boddon’s, Bermuda, and Tortuga for newly started games. I fixed that.

Great news for I finally encountered a save bug that crashed the game. This was different than the old, notorious one that corrupted save files; we don’t get those (at least I d…[Read more]

Update for Loyalty version

Option to disable PC main char auto-level at startup

Sailors/lowmen on ship number reduction when actual crew number is less than lowmen count

FMOD update to version 1.10.06 – 6/06/2018 Studio API minor release (build 95384) http://www.fmod.org/documentation/#content/generated/common/revision.html

New taverns for…[Read more]

We did that intentionally because it is a backwater pirate colony even if it does have a little more infrastructure than others. In reality, Cayman at the time was nothing but brackish reefs with no good deep water port. So it wasn’t good to store ships. Even today with the exception of the main dock that they have dredged out for large ships to…[Read more]

Some updates.

The common version updates:

Fix alpha blending problem with dialog box background texture

Fix character font width for 0, 3, 8 and add comma separators in money format

Fix tavern characters dialog sit direction

Add missing Brigantine21 sailorpoint file

The Loyal version contains same updates as above, plus:

FMOD update to…[Read more]

If that doesn’t work, crack.exe may not have the permissions to write to the folder it needs to write to.

Perhaps try right-click, Run as Administrator, might resolve?

I think running crack.exe generates a license file that will suffice.

So I’m glad that a member is interested in jumping in and trying to learn how they could meaningfully contribute.

So just a couple of things. I haven’t updated the site yet because we are so close to being finished with the new website. However, I think I will do one last refresh using the old format here. I am meeting with Ian (our new…[Read more]

Is it this one?

The link doesn’t work, or the app doesn’t work post install? I still see it in my Mega account as a valid link with files, so wondering what the specific problem is from your end.

Blue rigging on Fast Armed Merchant and 64 gun English 3rd Rater (merchantz and crown) are fixed and uploaded for both common and loyal versions. They shared the same texture.

I tend to agree with MK on this; the PC is arguably OP, relative to opponents, from my own experience. I find it curious others perceive this differently.

See and I don’t have any of those issues. I have never seen blue rigging either – not once in thousands of hours of play.

I really think this may be a hardware thing. I run AMD and I know for a fact that people with NVIDIA cards have lots of issues with graphical anomalies with this whole series of pirate games.

Oh and BTW, Jeffrey has already stated that it is very possible to select your own flag and to have that an option in the game. As with many other things, he is waiting on me to provide the content so that he can make it a reality. I know I must frustrate him. I simply need to come up with a new texture sheet of privately available pirate colors…[Read more]

Anyone who has read the READ ME file for ERAS or understands what I’ve always been attempting to achieve with this endeavor would never even ask about bringing in anything from the Disney fantasy BS into our world. Take that shit over to the Pippi Longstockings universe and enjoy yourselves.

The interceptor is already in the game, she is just…[Read more]

Actually IMHO, I think YOU as the player become WAY more powerful at level 30-40 than any of your opponents. I like that the game sends you more powerful opponents, because if it didn’t – it would stop being a challenge at all when you get to those levels. The thing that makes a game really fun at this point is that you can use a sword you prefer…[Read more]
