So Galleon, you’re out hunting pirates, eh? Meet Mary Read and her chick army:

We eat sqaudrons of 4-5 class 3 ships for lunch 😉 Good luck!

And ModernKnight, you call the lower boarding decks an ‘improvement’? I still remember the WTF moment I had when I gained my bearings during the first couple boarding battles, immediately tried…[Read more]

Since I’ve been playing pirate nation for the first time, I eventually figured out I was never going to get the Blue Bird quest. I’ve been to every store owner by now, and not a single peep about that quest. For any other startup nation, that is usually the first thing they mention when you opt to discuss business.

I finally took a peek and…[Read more]

I did in fact have an Export Warship among my squadron at the time. No worries on the effect of this because I have a tendency to save just before leaving any port and all I had to do is relaunch, load from the save and had no subsequent problems, even with that same ship in the mix.

I do indeed see many rope bad-data errors and such in the…[Read more]

Also I have new flag update going into the patch that might help with the flag issue.

Well that sucks. There are TONS of rope errors in the game. Hundreds….

That ship is the Export Warship I believe. Is that your ship or is that a ship in the port? If its a ship in the port simply go to an earlier save. Usually the ships are randomly generated. Also if it happens again wait 24 hours at sea before you try to enter port again…[Read more]

Bad news…I finally had a game crash. It’s been quite awhile! When going to sea mode from port, the crash occurred. There was no error.log file, but this was the last written to system.log:

Invalid model: resourcemodelsshipsFwzp56m1Fwzp56m1.gm
WARNING! Can`t model class pointer for ShipModel
WARNING!!! Missing INIT message to ROPE – bad ship…[Read more]

John A.K.A. Truth Serum, I have added the topic you requested plus some additional ones. Please post whatever you like there. I plan to join in there as well – you go first.

Jeffrey,

I regret having changed any of the main character face numbers. I didn’t do it very much though. While learning I added hundreds of new faces to the directory. This is a major undertaking of mine to get the portraits right.

There was both a model problem and model change with the Chard models. I am going to change them yet again now…[Read more]

Samir,

I would invite you read the “read me” file. Your questions make me believe you don’t have much familiarity with COAS and haven’t played much of the COAS mods.

1st off, ERAS is not based on GOF 2.0. It is based on GOF 1.0/1.1 and vastly expanded. GOF2.0 was Luke159’s (who is a good friend and who I worked closely with on all of the GOF…[Read more]

I don’t think they ever abandoned it. From what I have been able to discern “through the Grape Vine” is it has been political and proprietary issues preventing its total completion and release. If it is indeed released I plan to host a complete new modding effort for it in English here and will do my utmost to shamelessly promote it using every…[Read more]

That has never been a bug so I don’t think so. Can you send an error log? There was only one character import I ever had that problem with and he crashed the game talking to anyone. I couldn’t modify his animation to work correctly and that was the issue. Obviously I didn’t use him in the game.

You are playing as Edward England and I played an…[Read more]

Well, with the Miguel portrait issue, there was a lingering problem. Adding a case for the Ibarra to get a faceid in characters_faces.c FaceMaker function, solved the larger portrait in the character screen, he still did not get a smaller photo showing in the officer/passenger scroll to the left. I tracked this down and it’s a missing entry in…[Read more]

The Ogle thing is similar to the Miguel issue. The call to NPC_GenerateCharacter specifies a model as the 2nd parameter and that name has to match a case in the characters_face.c FaceMaker function to get a faceID that matches the Portrait file name.

In reaction_functions.c, the Blood Line sets Ogle with this:
