Yes I always keep back up copies of each version on a 1.5 terabyte external drive. I will have a look Jeffrey.

As you’ve said before there are some unexplainable things about how this game works. I am primarily a master of workarounds. Just sailing away is a workaround I’ve used a few times myself.

If you’re curious, and you have a copy of your original ERAS 2 I got from your download link, putting my files over that set, I have just uploaded my save file along with the updates I’ve been playing with and you can try it. Maybe with your experience with this game you can see if the logs tell you anything.

As for me, I just left them adrift…[Read more]

Yeah, that’s the thing…I don’t think it’s necessarily English 5th raters, but some other variables have converged in this instance. I can almost swear I’ve also boarded them in the past. I just wish I knew how I could somehow glean more information as to what’s happening, give a clue so we can see if there’s a way to somehow fix the situation.…[Read more]

I’m stumped. The English 5th rater is the Unicorn model and I’ve taken it many times and used it as my own ship even, so I don’t know what could be going on?

MK

Well this is unfortunate. I attempted to board an English 5th rater and the game created a boarding save, but hung up during the loading screen…just froze. Since they had struck their colors and were just sitting there, I reloaded and tried boarding with 3 different ships from my squadron and the same thing each time.

I notice the virtual…[Read more]

Done. Change to RPGUtilite.c and ItemsDescribe.txt to indicate +1 for the two, instead of +10. Files at my link.

Yes please do. I was putting this stuff in at breakneck speed and often in the late hours of the night. I’m surprised you haven’t found more mistakes.

Thanks Jeffrey

This investigation was prompted by two items: Armillary and Spectacles. According to the descriptions, one is supposed to add to Insight and the other Talent of the PIRATE skills:

itmname_Mineral18_1 {Spectacles} (+10 Insight=Perception SPECIAL_P – Exp rate of: Light Fencing, Accuracy, Sailing, Repair, Stealth)
itmname_Mineral10_1 {Armillary}…[Read more]

Agree Jeffrey. I don’t really even let it bother me any more. Better to be the adults here I think. After all we have the high ground here.

LOL, the irony and hypocrisy of it all when viewing PA! from google safe browsing report, eh?

I don’t know any of you personally, but just entered both sites intent on maybe trying to help rectify problems, firm up some lacking areas that I found, things I thought could benefit from problems I found and could fix in AoP COAS, GOF 1.2 and ERAS 2.…[Read more]

I didn’t put that map in. It was Officerpuppy’s work. He probably didn’t get it integrated into all the right places and I never bothered checking. Easy to fix though.

EDIT: BTW I saw what Thagarr wrote on PA. Thanks for the excellent post over there. I plugged their web address into that google tool that you provided and it shows PA! as a…[Read more]

I found that the Mao Kun map is not giving +15 navigation bonus. Added the following to RPGUtilite.c

// Maokun
skillN = skillN + SetCharacterSkillByItem(_refCharacter, skillName, SKILL_SAILING, "Maokun", iLev15Bonus);

Done. I created a function and call it from SetCharacterPerk. It will apply to ANY officer (not just fighters). Upon grant of any new perk, an officer/companion will scour their item inventory and equip items they hold that fit their capabilities.

I tend to have officers hold items that I will want them to equip later on anyway, to free up my…[Read more]

Please do it Jeffrey. Its a great improvement I think. One can always continue doing as we used to in carefully arming our officers with only what we wanted them to have at a given time.

MK

BTW, in the meantime, I already tried the perk-to-equip feature and it works. However, I discovered a minor flaw in the gun selection portion of my previous equip fix mod; it would work nearly 100% of the time, but I got ‘lucky’ in my perk test and found that a problem could present in the right circumstance, which I was. I had to strike out a…[Read more]

I had an idea…how about changing the perk application to an officer to readjust equipped items based on the new skills? Right now, for instance, giving an officer the Shootist or Clever Shot perk will not have that character seek their held items and equip a different gun if they have a gun better suited to their new capabilities within their…[Read more]

Hey, welcome back. Sounds like you had a marvelous time!

Those ships were indeed encountered during a couple smuggler/Gentlemen of Fortune encounters.

I’ve not uploaded my fighting changes for difficulty level just yet. I’m still gauging things. I’m more satisfied with the Emerald Shore and Isabella Arrest. I’m just about to give…[Read more]
