When I replied to the thread my post ended up in the middle (the border between the material from the two different old merged threads perhaps?).

One of the prettiest water types in my opinion. Also many beautiful skies in this game…and beautiful enemy squadrons coming out of the mist… You can never get too much mist in games that takes place out…[Read more]

One of the prettiest water types in my opinion. Also many beautiful skies in this game…and beautiful enemy squadrons coming out of the mist… You can never get too much mist in games that takes place outdoor, the dramatic effect is simply unbeatable.

The newer flag animations look odd. I applaud the initiative and effort to create a more…[Read more]

MK, move that poor screenshot thread to this main forum here so people see it more!
“Golden Age & Pirate related Books, Movies, Videos, and Documentaries” is not where you expect to find it. Also, if it is possible, could you edit the first post in it to include a description of how you go about to capture screens in the game, find them, and post…[Read more]

Keep hunting the pirate fleets, especially the larger ones represented by the larger ship (the same as gentlemen of luck) on the strategic map. Barts pirate frigate is a rare find indeed and can take a long time to come across.

That should be the “parus_silk.tga.tx”, that texture is very white anyway.

How do you initiate a duel/brawl in the tavern? It’s mentioned in the vanilla game manual but apart from the sellers of fake treasure maps I have never understood how you challenge people to a duel. When you threaten insulting patrons the tavern keeper always threatens with calling for the guards and nothing more happens.

Long live the Zabra! They are so useful.

I’ll make a function instead, with a select/case statement for ship type and restrict it to all class 7 and only certain class 6 ships (lugger/sloop…maybe cutter/ketch/yacht) that fit the dialog from the barkeep.

Yes, please include the other ships of similar size too. That should be included in the jou…[Read more]

My thoughts as well. It would be cool to have mouldy sails after a storm or so but when repaired they would turn back to the standard texture. The sail textures are located in

(hard drive folder)ERAS2.6RESOURCETexturesShips

…and the mouldy ones are called “parus_common.tga.tx”. You can replace that and be rid of the mouldy texture both before…[Read more]

Another thing with the sea wolf: if you give it to an officer when you have claimed it – which frankly seemed logical if you were supposed to return it to Alexis – the game thinks it has sunk, no matter if you take it back as flagship later! Now poor Alexis can never get his master work back.

Ned Low had the book “How to not be seen” in his…[Read more]

I tried out the fix and it worked fine, many thanks Jeffrey!

But do keep in mind that class 6 vessels, at least now, include things far greater and more terrible than sloops, if you haven’t already reclassified them for the coming update of course. Ol’ Ned doesn’t shy away from sloops now…but neither is he deterred by a Zabra or Bristol merchantman. 🙂

In the pirate quest line when you hunt Ned Low (funny thing if you play as him too…) you are supposed to get a sloop or lugger to lure him out. But the common sloop doesn’t seem to work, and most luggers don’t either. I haven’t tried all but so far only the French lugger did the trick it seems…

I tried it out directly from Cumana. What…[Read more]

Yes, musket volley is a bosun skill and god of death is a chief gunner skill so your ship will benefit from both. It’s a bit counter-intuitive that a gunnery skill is the prerequisite.

Some characters change their look when they wear one of the different clothing outfits that you can find (quite rare). Some also change their outfit when wearing a cuirass, instead of showing it wearing a (seemingly not so fitting) cuirass on top of everything else. Jacquotte is or used to be one of those characters, changing to blue when wearing…[Read more]

Very interesting! The code needed to place fighter officers in disallowing houses and similar locations would be this, right?

//Boyer mod #20170318-33
if(MOD_SKILL_ENEMY_RATE > 3){ //Go ahead and allow Hero's fighter officers...they will be needed and everyone will likely be killed anyway if not high enough level
//#20170318-20

Merry christmas to all!

MK, it’s nice to see the feedback is appreciated. I know you have felt a lot of dissapointment at the lack of interest in the mod.

About the lone captain issue; I would like to point out that as I said I am not pressing the point that you should include fighter officers all time in the official release, but please tell…[Read more]

The cannon loading times with realistic reloading turned on and off are inverted, so the cannons load slow with realistic reloading turned off and load quickly with realistic reloading turned on.

How can you change it so that fighter officers are always coming with the captain? Someone managed to do so with the des Moines beach which was an excellet change.
I think it is a pathetic feature, utterly unrealistic and improbable that someone would suddenly decide to leave the bodyguards behind when going into the most suspicious situations…[Read more]

Make sure all the downloaded files are in the same folder.

Unpack the first file, the one ending with .001, with 7zip or a similar .zip program. That should open the rest as well.

I pasted that code and the levels are no longer multiplied by 10 but the hp have soared to the skies again, they might even be higher than before any of your changes.

Which function creates the hp boost?

Which file or files contain this code? The whole update covers a lot and I would rather avoid overwriting the files I have edited myself.

Glad to be of service. It’s certainly encouraging to hunt bugs when someone looks them up this quickly.
