I did try both a new game and entering ship cabin on another computer, running Win 8, but could not produce the problem.

I’m betting your graphics card and/or machine is probably better and smarter than the dumb, mediocre machines we have, but our dumb ones work fine, LOL.

If you can get that .dmp file, it might help me figure it out.

OK will do. When we are ready to package this for the new version, we will want to get rid of the pointers and have everything native to that version/download. So I see the current implementation as useful for testing and the patch but eventually when we are satisfied that everything works right, we will transition to the more permanent settings.

@Steven

I will start a new thread for wanna be modelers. The post will have links to the tools necessary to do the import and conversion work necessary. There are already lots of tutorials so I will post links for those as well.

I could probably help you a little, but I am in learning mode myself. I am looking for a good modeler that I can hire…[Read more]

Oh, and while you’re at it…you should also enable DUMP files on your machine, or keep it open on a crash and use task manager to create one. If you have a crash, upload and link the .dmp file so I can try to track down the problems. I compiled with debug info, so I can at least get the function symbols and know what function within the .dll is…[Read more]

My goal was to make testing it relatively simple, and negate the need for someone to duplicate the large set of RESOURCE files/models/etc. One just needs to extract preserving the file structure into a new folder, and all the module, Program and INI stuff it needs resides in its own dir, but then just point a few of those start.ini paths to the…[Read more]

Welcome to the Reef Steven!

I am glad you are enjoying the mod and thanks for the compliments.

Yes we have a number of POTBS ships in the mod. The 20 gun Dutch Fregatte is the Postillionen from POTBS. One of our Dutch 2nd raters is the Frederick Willem zu Pferde from POTBS (I was instrumental in importing that ship for PA! and in its conversion…[Read more]

Sorry Jeffrey,

Here I am pontificating to others to read my “Read me” files before playing ERAS2 and I didn’t read the one you included.

Because of this I cost myself a great deal of time and pain. I ruined the version of ERAS2.1.5.8 that I have been working with. No worries because I back everything up daily. Didn’t lose anything because I…[Read more]

That texture degradation setting is copied from my original ERAS2 settings and was due to my system’s performance problem when trying to open chests. If your system doesn’t need that, you can certainly change it.

As for the problem, enable crash dumps for your OS.

If newer:…[Read more]

Also, looking at the .gm errors, make sure to review the ReadMe.txt and adjust the paths to point a full path at an existing ERAS RESOURCE folder, INI folders, etc. or copy the whole directory in and use a relative path. I did not supply those on the presumption that people already have them. I only supplied the stuff that was changed in…[Read more]

Can’t overwrite either the Fighter or Patch files into the new compilation test. However a couple things:

The ERAS2Test already has everything the Patch has; it’s basically the game as I run it, with everything I’ve done, but with the changes needed to run under new compilation. It also contains EVERY program file, so is complete.

Patch…[Read more]

Yeah I noticed the cool picture of the Galleon on the Splash screen. That’s cool, because the Germans have Batavia as theirs.

OK so I spoke too soon. I ran your patch files and the fighter added files fine. However when I put in the test patch files, the game won’t start.

Here’s the error file and system file errors:

COMPILE ERROR – file:…[Read more]

And GOF1.2Test.zip now available…try loading an existing savegame if anyone’s got GOF 1.2. They work for me.

Hey MK, you notice anything about the START.exe/config.exe version tab of the file properties? Or the upper right of the loading splash screen on launch?

Sweet! I have hammered on the Program .c stuff for awhile, but after compiling the .exe and .dll, I have only tested rudimentary scenarios, like a couple battles, ship boarding, and such…but just a few to make sure it works. I will shortly carve out some time and really engage in some quests again, like I did with the earlier test/debugging I…[Read more]

Yes I have been playing it. No issues yet. I want to build the next full release off of that version. I also want to still offer the large download, but also a broken up download in 6 pieces like the Germans have done.

MK

I meant tried ours yet, silly, LOL

Well I hope the test has a positive outcome! My thoughts are that your announcement will simply be ignored.

I tried to download the newest German edition (MOTCS) the other night(I speak German – lived there for 5 years). I played the previous version which was very good.

Jan has it broken up into 6 parts I believe. After I got them all…[Read more]
