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]

I believe this issue is still existent on a few ships even in directX8 and I don’t know why. If you look at a few ships like the old light stock galleon and the Spanish Fast Galleon, they both flicker sometimes. In addition, if you look closely at the damage texture “blot.tga” that applies to these ships in combat at certain angles you will notice…[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]

NEW DISCUSSION: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and REVISIONISM

Yesterday I learned that the NWO liberal leftist political movement to ensure that NO ONE on the planet is offended by anything they encounter has moved into Europe and is infecting its people.

I was very aware of this movement in the US. It has destroyed the major premises of both…[Read more]

Ah Star Trek games – me loves them! I remember when I was going to college, there was an old Star Trek arcade game in the Student Union building in the corridor out. This was the old 1980s one that displayed the connected polygons in bright colors like Asteroids and Battlezone. Spock narrated the game telling you what sector you were in. The sound…[Read more]

Oh yes indeed Blas. This galleon will not be common, but it will absolutely be included and encountered in ERAS module2.

There are several reasons for this. First consider that galleons of this 1540 pattern were still built largely unchanged in style appearance and design for the next 50 years. There were many galleon designs. So I think it is…[Read more]

LOL AWESOME! Glad you got it running right for you again!

Hello Blas,

Thanks so much for the bug report.

OK so if you are having problems with crew members disappearing I suspect that your memory page file caps and compatibility are not set to enjoy the mod to its full capacity. These problems will get worse over time if the following isn’t done on your system. This is explained in the Tweaks and…[Read more]

Hello Blas! Nice to see you here. I will answer your bug report shortly. Thanks for the information on the proper additional name for Sant Yago. Awesome! This is the kind of information I like to see shared on our website!

I am so sorry about what I am hearing. I didn’t realize it was effecting Europe so badly. Here in the States political…[Read more]
