WOW That looks awesome Orazio! Thanks for finishing that up!

Jeffrey and I had a long conversation this morning about how we were going to go about incorporating this into the Cartegena scene/area both from land and sea. He’s already at work.

I also want to say that regarding this thread that the main reason I have not posted any town files…[Read more]

Yes we have had lots of feedback and I very much appreciate it. Jeffrey has worked a lot of that into the game already and is working on more stuff as we speak. We also have a very long priority list of things we are working on.

I am due to talk to our webmaster and site re-builder face to face in less than two weeks time. Only a face to face…[Read more]

Well I was glad to see you post this Raul. I waited for a week to see if anyone would answer you. Disappointing… oh well. If people wonder about my low amount of participation it should really be no surprise. I have a lot of new stuff nearly ready. When I am motivated by encouragement from others I put stuff up quickly – otherwise I just sit on…[Read more]

Oldtimer,

After you’ve started your game, press escape. Then press the Options tab. Then go to the long tab in the lower right half of the screen which I believe says “Restore the default settings”

OR you can simply delete your options file. The game will create a new one. This is a battle drill we came with years ago when we first built the…[Read more]

We did that intentionally because it is a backwater pirate colony even if it does have a little more infrastructure than others. In reality, Cayman at the time was nothing but brackish reefs with no good deep water port. So it wasn’t good to store ships. Even today with the exception of the main dock that they have dredged out for large ships to…[Read more]

So I’m glad that a member is interested in jumping in and trying to learn how they could meaningfully contribute.

So just a couple of things. I haven’t updated the site yet because we are so close to being finished with the new website. However, I think I will do one last refresh using the old format here. I am meeting with Ian (our new…[Read more]

See and I don’t have any of those issues. I have never seen blue rigging either – not once in thousands of hours of play.

I really think this may be a hardware thing. I run AMD and I know for a fact that people with NVIDIA cards have lots of issues with graphical anomalies with this whole series of pirate games.

Oh and BTW, Jeffrey has already stated that it is very possible to select your own flag and to have that an option in the game. As with many other things, he is waiting on me to provide the content so that he can make it a reality. I know I must frustrate him. I simply need to come up with a new texture sheet of privately available pirate colors…[Read more]

Anyone who has read the READ ME file for ERAS or understands what I’ve always been attempting to achieve with this endeavor would never even ask about bringing in anything from the Disney fantasy BS into our world. Take that shit over to the Pippi Longstockings universe and enjoy yourselves.

The interceptor is already in the game, she is just…[Read more]

Actually IMHO, I think YOU as the player become WAY more powerful at level 30-40 than any of your opponents. I like that the game sends you more powerful opponents, because if it didn’t – it would stop being a challenge at all when you get to those levels. The thing that makes a game really fun at this point is that you can use a sword you prefer…[Read more]

Just let me ask… have you tried the game out on mod options set to vanilla for damage settings? We set them to “In between” as the default. If you think that is too slow, you should try full realistic damage. I actually regularly set my game to those RTBL realistic settings when I become god-like at level 35 or so. With the stock vanilla cannon…[Read more]

Ha! I love how this conversation went into a very interesting off topic direction. Very interesting reading. BTW just so everyone knows I was a child prodigy in music. I got thru college with full tuition free rides. My instrument??? Violin. I still play occasionally. Not as good as I used to be but not bad. Everyone I knew gasped in disbelief…[Read more]

Great anecdote of your criminal past Schiavonna. Laughed my ass off you book clepto you! LOL I actually admit to stealing library books when I was a kid. I would only do it after I had looked at it many times and realized that it had not been checked out by anyone else in years. I even waited for months sometimes just to see if someone – anyone…[Read more]

Interestingly enough this project is years old. I tried to add ships in harbors that you could see sailing away while you were walking around in the colony. I also wanted small ships at the jetty right next to the docks rather than just the little jolly boat. Actually his majesty Chancellor Fuhrer Grand Mof Boelen from PA! was helping me with…[Read more]

That is SO AWESOME Orazio!

Have I mentioned lately that your work and Jeffrey’s breakthroughs are the ONLY reason I still work on this?

You guys are my only inspiration. Truly! Thank you, this looks amazing. Guess I might finally just shelve Kris Woods nearly completed model cause yours looks better!

How are you coming with that other little…[Read more]

Good luck with this effort. Sounds like a lot of work. There is one very knowledgeable member who communicates with me regularly via email from French Canada. I think he would enjoy such a translation. Phillipe from PA worked on Ackmod and used to be a member of the GOF mod team there. He was instrumental in helping me figure out how to port new…[Read more]

I know that most people don’t appreciate my attempts to make this world into more of a period simulation. I am always looking to the future and what I hope this will all be a year from now or two years from now. The merchants refusing to trade was always there, but it didn’t work until Jeffrey fixed all that bad spaghetti code. I liked the “new”…[Read more]

Glad you like the model. Sounds like with your explanation she would be right at home in Rick and Morty’s adventures or tooling around with Dr. Who as well. Love Rick and Morty but the whole time travel thing just aint my cup o tea.

So….

Helen….

Tavrel?

Robert E. Howard anyone? Anyone here heard of him?

Anyone care?

Anyone appreciate…[Read more]

Ah yes. I think I know the book.

Is it “A Pirate of Exquisite Mind: Explorer, Naturalist, and Buccaneer – The Life of William Dampier”

ISBN 0-425-20037-X (pbk.)

By Diana & Michael Preston

Published in 2004 by The Berkeley Publishing Group

That IS indeed a good read. I read it not long after it was published. I felt like some of the…[Read more]

OK Maltacus, Jeffrey and I have discussed it and based on your comments and Oldtimer’s questions about why certain ships are not available we will be adding what ships can be bought to my cannon mod. Bermuda sloops will only be found in – wait for it – BERMUDA! LOL

Good idea on the ship coloring guide. Yes – that sounds like a fun project along…[Read more]
