@Craiggo, I will have to put a list together of the characters with armor. I am actually working on a bunch more as we speak. I have Alonso Ramirez and Amaro Pargo finished. Jeffrey did some additional magic and was able to figure out how to get multiple animations to work with one character. What that means now is that I can have many different…[Read more]

Yeah faces can be tricky. I have hundreds of cut out photo shop faces now. I think I would try to make Modyford’s face fill in the space better. His head looks too small for all of the wig hair. What made you want to change Modyford?

yeah the only time soldiers get involved is when they get hit by a stray bullet or sword slash. I have actually used that as strategy many times ensuring I am between the soldiers when bounty hunters or enemies are after me. As soon as the bounty hunters hit a soldier, they jump in on your side. Faction neutrality and REACTIONS FUNCTIONS are…[Read more]

Oldtimer,

I appreciate the input! Thanks. Some good recommendations here.

Agreed with number 1 and Jeffrey’s assessment

Agreed with number 2 and Jeffrey’s assessment. My recommendation is for auto draw every time. This has really never bothered me, but I have been playing this game forever, and I am adept with the sword in it. Its like…[Read more]

Jack,

Have you tried moving the new camera view scroll toggle in the options menu (left side of menu/screen) until it suits you? All the way left everything is zoomed in very close and all the way to the right everything is zoomed out. You may want to tinker with that until you like what you see.

Althought it’s undoubtedly terse, probably missing some things, and would never fly in my ‘day job,’ for a decent change log, the UpdatesReadMe.txt does contain a rolling list of recent changes; I append some things as I go, so the most recent are at the bottom.

I have been notorious for lax documentation, and since this is a ‘hobby’ well, my…[Read more]

#1 Might be a good idea. I’ve also been a little bugged not knowing the stored ship stats when I review the list, contemplating a sale or extraction back into the squad.

#2 Another thing I’ve noticed. I think the game should be consistent. Either never auto-draw during the sudden conflict eruption, or always. The inconsistency is a little…[Read more]

Thanks for the screenshots Ians! Love the moustache! Bart Robert’s Royal Fortune is a rare and wonderful ship indeed!

@ Craiggo, Mod update is out – time NOW!!! Go to the main download link.

The latest update is now available:

https://mega.nz/#F!jl1zjSaC!CdBYterMnYkhdEbQy9rQKg

ERAS2.8Update.zip

The core, base files (…7z.001-012) for 2.8 are being uploaded and will replace 2.6, once finished. But, if you already have 2.6, or 2.7, simply overwriting with the ERAS2.8Update.zip, will get you upgraded.

I think you are missing the rigging.ini update that goes along with the engine change for the new effect; it contains a couple adjustments, along with a couple new settings I added. Here is that same ship in my 2.6 version of the game:

Your RESOURCEINIrigging.ini should contain this:

TextureName =…[Read more]

Thanks for the heads up Maltacus.

Yeah we will get rid of it. We might use those in the future in the DLCs somewhere or quests, but after you take the ship you could change it to a regular sail when you repair it. None of the ships in the game should have shredded sail textures. Some have the stripped or patched or black or crimson sails – but…[Read more]

@ Malticus, Wow Dude screenshots! Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah as I wrote earlier in this topic, the site caused new responses to post in the middle when I added new screenshots – after I combined the two screenshots topics. (don’t know why????) When our website is rebuilt by a professional (SOON in negotiations…[Read more]

OK, now that I fixed the Low encounter where if either you, or your companion has the Sea Wolf, the log updates correctly, I just now noticed that the Jackman conversation was wrong too, in that if YOU have the Sea Wolf, he only checks your companions and if they have it… in this case, he offers you reward money for eliminating Low, but that is…[Read more]

You probably had an English patent? Since England is friendly with France, if you fire on French ships, your patent is removed, you see the ‘used item’ message and you are now considered hostile to the crown for firing upon their friends 🙂

Since you have a bounty with France, you should probably pay that off and avoid engagements with them…[Read more]

Yep, already with you on the log entry too. The criteria will adhere to the original intent that the crew and cannon number need to be fairly low. The log entry will now tell you exactly the criteria used, which will be a restriction on crew size and cannon number, explicitly written in your log, so you can use that information when looking at…[Read more]

OK WOW! So this discussion on sails threw me for a loop. An ugly moldy texture should not be appearing on standard ships. Sure I have some patched ones (a new black one in the update which looks much more realistic which I just did a few weeks ago in fact) – but this texture you mention is not in my game. So I got thinking and then I realized just…[Read more]

True, the Zabra is certainly dangerous and can handily defeat ol’ Low in that brig. I think in order to better adhere to the difficulty this situation is supposed to present the player, I’ll make a function instead, with a select/case statement for ship type and restrict it to all class 7 and only certain class 6 ships (lugger/sloop…maybe…[Read more]

I found the problem. As ships have been added, there is a hardcoded ship index for what is supposed to be every ship class 6 or greater, in PiratesLine_q3_loginSeaWolf from reaction_functions.c. It is 22 at the moment, but looking at the ships.h, it should be changed to 76.

I fixed it for the upcoming update.

@ Jack,

That sometimes happens to me, but only if I am running a bunch of other stuff on my computer. If I optimize my machine before game play it never occurs. Also make sure your check you properties in the config file. Right click and then hit the compatibility tab. Select your OS and check boxes as appropriate for graphics. Disconnect from…[Read more]
