AWESOME on the flags! That sounds excellent. We will probably need to collaborate via phone to get all of that worked out. Yes I was trying to get white flags going but was happy with the flag striking. The way I accomplished that is with an alpha mapping solution which eliminates the first flag from the texture making it blank in gameplay. I…[Read more]

LOL, I admit I laughed a little about the spammer. Oh hey, that’s a nice piece of graphic work for your video game. What kind of doors are you rendering in those pixels? Oh, by the way, I work at a door place, so come look at our web site.

Ridiculous logic that made me laugh.

Well I looked, but ‘promotions’ is pretty general. I believe you were attempting to get language-specific titles? Save me some time and give me the code files you’ve worked and tell what part is not going as planned.

Back to bugs…one of the things I was able to consistently crash the game with is to ram full speed, head-on into another ship…[Read more]

I think some more flexibility can be built into the flag system. It’s a bit of work, but changes need to be made on both sides of the .c and the source. In other words, I can only find a way to make it work with a change to the source code and would have to run the new compilations. Here’s what I would try:

1. Use only one texture file, but…[Read more]

Ha! Solved the strange flag issue…I introduced the problem when fixing the DoMove thing. In my change, during the case of MSG_FLAG_TO_NEWHOST message, I accidentally popped the same message twice, which then disrupts the order for all other processed messages, as each message type has a very specific number of parameters. When you pop them…[Read more]

Samir, I’ve also come across that large address post, but my machine doesn’t have more than 2gb memory, so it’s a moot point since I believe it only applies to 2+ gb. I’ve not been able to try it…in fact, I think I may have even downloaded it but seem to remember it telling me the app doesn’t support my meager memory.

Anyway, quick update.…[Read more]

That is Kris Wood’s Centurion. In the game its called English 64 gunner.

You will not find it in shipyards but extremely rarely. I recommend cruising outside English harbors at a distance and using your spyglass to see what ships are in the harbor. If you see one of these beauties, run up your pirate flag and they will come out to fight you and…[Read more]

Jeffrey,

Need your help. Please look at my explanation of new titles/promotions in the announcement sections. I am having trouble getting it to work correctly. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction.

In addition I was wondering if you might be able to figure a way to make ships consider two different flagall.tga options.

My thoughts…[Read more]

@ Orazio,

Thank you mate! I will upload right away and give you a link via PM.

@ Dennis,

Thanks for the recommendation Dennis but I would be exactly the villain the PA! folks accuse me of being if I were to use that method. I will buy the newest version legitimately. And then I will master the software and begin building the most beautiful…[Read more]

Yes it is a spammer who managed to get through. Gone and gone

MK

OK, so those ‘random’ crashes of the game. They are not so random.

The first major culprit was in battle_interface and that had to do with a particular vertex buffer that the memory was directly manipulated beyond its allocated space, then when a pointer to that memory dereferenced, crash. That was identified (even an old PA! thread had someone…[Read more]

This should do it:

In engine.ini (or start.ini), change screen_x to your computers width setting and screen_y to your height. Make sure the values you change do not have a semicolon ; in front of them. Save file.

screen_x = 1366
screen_y = 768

There was a problem, since vanilla COAS, where the NPC captains would eventually disappear from the game. That should be fixed, but there are still some legitimate reasons why they don’t approach.

1. There may be no captains in your current town. You can check this with F10. Though with ERAS, it is far more likely they WILL be in your town,…[Read more]

Stated Exactly as I want. I want high resolution quality because I spent hundreds of hours of my life photo shopping and creating all of those images for those items and many have a lot of detail. My monitors are 38 and 42 inches depending on where I am – so GIGANTIC. I need to see good detail when I play. So a compromise with good performance…[Read more]

Really beautiful work Orazio! Just AWESOME!!! REALLY INCREDIBLE! Thank you!

No worries, the site isn’t going anywhere Mate – but I am.

MK

No surprises….no new modelers have ever come round. No answers from Rider88 or Yo Ho Ho…. I shouldn’t be surprised I guess.

Well folks, I am dead in the water. I was trying to get the last two ships finished up and my version of MAYA 5.0 has stopped running. I blame this on Windows update. I tried to go to an earlier restore point but they…[Read more]

I figured that was your aim, and understandable since Samir and I were plagued with horrible performance opening an item box, so a goal to minimize the size as much as possible makes sense. When I was reminded you had already done this, I compared and found that your compressed were different quality, so thinking MK might be unhappy with the…[Read more]
