“I want to try recreating Orazio’s error on one of my kids’ 64 bit machines. I think I will install VS and run debug mode, hoping for similar error to isolate to the actual code line.”

Orazio, got VS installed, along with the full source, on one of them yesterday. I will proceed to play around and try to recreate your issue while in debug mod…[Read more]

I had a work project obligation that sucked much of my time, but I was able to complete and ready for beta testing one day before deadline. As such, I should be able to resume carving out a bit of personal time for this. Apologize for the unforeseen hiatus, but duty called 🙂

Awesome work Orazio!!!

Thanks for the great new mod/scene. I think this would be a good cabin for the small galleon and possibly a couple of the simple fluyts as well. With your permission I will add this cabin to them as well for the MEGA Patch and new upcoming version of ERAS.

OMG!!! Those look SO DAMN GOOD Orazio! WOW! Incredible work mate! Now that you know your way around the COL files, you may want to take a look at the lower boarding deck files, because there were some COL files missing when I did the import from GIC 4.2. I did some substitutions, but you will sometimes notice daytime conditions below decks at…[Read more]

Thanks for the sky work Orazio. This was something created as a defect by myself because I had imported weather and sky box files from other mods and a couple of sky boxes were hand made by yours truly. This is something I was working on in the patch. I planned to import some new skyboxes in place of the missing skies. I had assumed the problem…[Read more]

Ah, good. If it’s correct in the ERAS2Test files, I most likely included the same corrections in ERAS2.Patch as well. ERAS2.Patch being strictly files to be used for fixing various issues with the standard game compilation.

I may have edited those wrong, I’d have to check. But I remember I found that there were entries that didn’t exist (like you did) and may have inadvertently adjusted them to what they ‘should be’ and messed it up the same way it was already messed up, LOL.

Also, I think the fontload crash was misleading. I’ve taken further look and I think (but…[Read more]

That is a great story! Yeah my story occurred in the late 80s before cell phones existed. Nowadays I can simply call my insurance hotline and I get free towing. I should also add that the old guy didn’t charge me thing. When I said “what do I owe you?” He replied, “Not a damn thing son – you just get home safe now.”

The northwest is just so…[Read more]

Well, I ran the file in debug mode and found the function in the render .dll where the mishap occurs. It’s FontLoad, and a subsequent waitforobject call that crashed. Unfortunately, since I can’t replicate the problem, I don’t exactly know why this would occur, so I’m a bit stuck in figuring a resolution for it at the moment.

Nice. I don’t think much has changed…sure, there are more people these days than ‘back in the day’, but here’s a story from only a few months ago:

A buddy and I scheduled a trip to a river near the coast, to of course, target some winter steelhead. I drove to his house, parked my rig, and we headed out there in the early morning (still dark)…[Read more]

Love Oregon. When I was stationed at Fort Lewis early in my career I used to drive through all the time going back and forth from home to my unit on leave or four day passes. I broke down on the way home one time in those high desert mountains early in the morning (my wife was getting ready to have a child). It had been raining and those steep…[Read more]

First, yeah, I borrowed the hotkey commands for the fleet from GOF and that is actually in my “patch” files for running under the original compilation, too. Thought I had mentioned that, but perhaps not. It also means that upon adopting the new patch files, then loading a game, sometimes the character can’t move at all, and all one has to do is…[Read more]

More screenshots from my testing…

This officer of mine seems particularly interested in the wanted posters eh…

Check out the additional icons on the left hand side of the screen denoting my additional fighters. A motley crew! Muah ha ha ha ha!!!…[Read more]
