Here’s a couple more. I am sailing my ship out of Saint Kitts. “There is no Saint Kitts in Age of Pirates 2: COAS!” All I can tell you is…… there is NOW!!! MK

OK, after muddling with many Trace statements, I resolved an issue with the Flying Dutchman quest (some vacation time, eh? LOL) and as a result, have a little better understanding of some things that have happened with a couple issues I have recently seen about the base arrays and loading saved game state; it explains that one missing ship getting…[Read more]

Dear MK, thank you for your great work in 2015.
I wish my english would be better, so I could tell how enthusiastic I am about all your achievment in developing Eras. Please don´t loose your devotion to the topic.
I – and I think I speak so far for everyone who downladed your work – wish you an your family a merry christmas and all the best for…[Read more]

Ha! Further good news about the lag for opening boxes/looting. It turns out texture size probably was the contributing factor…for whatever reason. While turning off the log files, another setting caught my eye that I hadn’t noticed before.

The name was compelling, it was set to off, so I experimented and toggled it on:

texture_degradation =…[Read more]

Jeffrey my friend you are doing incredible work! Sorry not to be available at the moment. Travelling across the US and in some pretty bad winter storms. Writing from phone. Please continue. Based on the responses I’ve had and your recent input I will try to extend the site another year when I get to my destination in a couple days. Then I plan to…[Read more]

There is also a divide-by-zero error/game crash at the end of some of the captain quests that I resolved. In characters/GeneratorUtilite.c, function GetBoarding_player_hp_Bonus:

int GetBoarding_player_hp_Bonus(int mcrew, int ecrew)
{
m_rank_bonus = 0;
e_rank_bonus = 0;

if(ecrew == 0) ecrew = 1; //Fix divide by zero error
if (true) {

Oof. I’m reluctant to divulge how much time spent, but in short, I could not find where/why/how just that one index of the ship object array gets blanked. However, I can find two spots in the game load where at the end of function LoadGame_continue, the array is entirely fine, but at the beginning of OnLoad, it is not; no matter how many event…[Read more]

OK, after adding ship 128 to the ships_init.c, I still get a problem with that ship. Somehow, after the initial ship configurations in ships_init.c, just that one ship index gets whacked.

I injected a loop at various points in the game to trace the ship attributes like so:

Trace(“<my unique message to show what part of the program I’m…[Read more]

The game has crashed a couple times due to a divide-by-zero error…most likely due to bad ships for some character generations as far as I can tell so far (calculations for ship speed and such).

I modified some trace statements in likely spots to give me more information, and found one bad ship.

For instance, function Fantom_GetShipType had a…[Read more]

Good news.

I had another saved game in a battle situation which was similar to before; I ordered my companion to board a ship and it aims at the ship, draws nigh, and they do nothing but fire at each other indefinitely. This case was slightly different than before in that the enemy ship clearly never surrenders; if I reload the game, I can board…[Read more]

Was having a boarding issue with one of my companions and happened to have a save just prior to the battle.

Loaded saved game file
Clear system.log file
Send one of my companions to board a particular ship
As my companion draws near, I inspected the system.log file and see this error:

CreateIndexBuffer::CreateIndexBuffer
The method call is…[Read more]

I showed our computer specs, compared to yours as listed in your last post to my oldest boy…my 12 year old son, and we both got a laugh comparing our mediocre power compared to your beast! As a programmer, people often wonder why I live with such an outdated measly machine, but the programming I do is all run on server class machines. So all…[Read more]

Hi Jeffrey!

Sorry for the late reply but I’ve been super busy and a lot of bad stuff has been happening with family.

I admit I played Black Flag but I think the replay-ability factor is very low. It is a totally pirate fantasy game that has a very low level of historical accuracy. Now having said that, I fully admit it is a VERY beautiful game…[Read more]

I had a game save during a hostile encounter with French and Dutch ships and saw an error in the log file. After reloading a couple times with error logging enabled, seeing the same error, I employed a correction that resolves it so that no error is produced in the log.

Error in log:

RUNTIME ERROR – file: battle_interfaceBattleInterface.c;…[Read more]

Greetings.

I only recently downloaded ERAS and will say that I quite enjoy your version of AoP/GOF; I appreciate the good work you’ve done spearheading this mod effort and everyone that contributed to it. Although I sensed your aversion to Assassins Creed Black Flag (I think I saw a comment somewhere you’re not too keen?), I play and enjoy both.…[Read more]

@Coben, Thanks for bringing this up. Another member told me about the Tartarus glitch but I haven’t had the time because of other issues. However, with the new patch almost ready I want to fix this bug too. I have never actually every played the COAS quest. SO now I will. I will teleport one of my characters there and work my way through the quest…[Read more]

Thanks for the comments guys. I am just frustrated. The mod has been downloaded thousands of times yet only a handful of people comment or read my content or thumbs up anything. Only 15 people have read my article on Why the Golden Age was so Golden. Only 23 people have read my review on the movie Admiral Michiel de Ruyter.

I tell you what. I…[Read more]

Hello coben!

I can’t tell you how glad I am that you have brought this to my attention. With no beta testers this last round that’s what happens.

You are indeed correct. I finished the English Questline with NO BUGS and started the Dutchman mission. No people in the village just as you said. Well this is completely all my fault. This is me going…[Read more]
