Nice shot Maltacus.

I am also in love with the Olandesa.

To answer your questions, the only reasons the colors you see are the way they are is because of my historical research. Those are the colors that were actually used. However as far as railings are concerned, red and black were indeed both often used on Spanish naval ships.

PLUS: our…[Read more]

Hey I’m all for it Dennis.

Hopefully some folks will want to try. However, don’t count on it. If people really wanted to talk about their experiences with ERAS they would already have done so here – regardless of the website being slow.

I know some people have – including yourself. I still loved that running logbook post you did a couple years…[Read more]

Careful “youse mugs”, don’t want your posts to be considered “hate speech” do ya! LOL

You know when a couple of folks mentioned to me that they thought he was on the take over a month ago I thought they could be right – however, given the last week of posts on that thread, I no longer believe that could be true. If it were – he would have shut up…[Read more]

Awesome shots again!

Got your email Maltacus. Thank you for the pointers and the frames. I will definitely be playing with them. I just DL’d a new free version of D3Dgear today as well which possibly might improve the movie issues I have been having. We will see if screenshots are improved as well.

OMG Jack forgive me. I skimmed through your post so fast I just missed it entirely.

Did you try the config tweak?

Have you tried opening your GTX 970 to see what options are available for it? You should be able to simply right click on your primary monitor screen and see an option to go to your video card menu. It will probably offer you a…[Read more]

WOW! I am really enjoying your screenshots Maltacus! Thanks for sharing. I am going to have to look into GIMP I guess because I just love those borders and your screens almost look like they are out of a story or a comic book – SO COOL!

I love your narrative along with the pictures about the Spraggues. SEE this is what I have been writing about…[Read more]

You know this gets me thinking…. dangerous I know. Wouldn’t it be great if we could base the hostility factor on “FAME” points rather than nation flag. Certainly if you have a good reputation with that nation, you can sail right into the port provided you fly a friendly/neutral flag. However, even if you ARE a pirate, if you just haven’t done…[Read more]

Sorry, that’s totally my fault. You know I often work on this stuff late at night. I don’t make as many mistakes as I used to I suppose.

Pretty good specs Jack.

So my question is – do you have a video card installed or are you relying on the on board chipset that was installed in the Intel suite? If you have a separate video card we can probably tailor your computer to play the game with no graphical anomalies. If not I know a couple of tricks that might work to make it more…[Read more]

ORAZIO!!! Man that cabin is exactly what I wanted man! Thanks Mate!!! THAT IS AWESOME! I LOVE IT!

I just wanted to add a couple more things to what I talked about above. First I wanted to say that the double line capability that Jeffrey has added to this game is simply awesome applied to your own squadron during gameplay.

OMG! if you choose…[Read more]

Maltacus! Nice screen shots man! Thank you for posting them. I noticed you like those sky and water combinations and a little haze on the horizon. I can tell you that when I first took on the task of changing our waters, weather and sky that eliminating haze was one of my top priorities to give the Caribbean the lighter brighter look it has in…[Read more]

Just a couple things…

@Jack, I have that same ship and it doesn’t do that in my game. Just as with the flickering that has been described I think it may be in your hardware or video card settings. If you have a newer SMART video card you can have it analyze the game and change and maximize its settings specifically for our game. What are your…[Read more]

I want to make sure that everyone is up to date on what we are doing with the game. First off I don’t think a lot of people read everything in the read me’s or in the ongoing discussions other places. This is no big surprise as some of our threads are now VERY cluttered with over 700 posts on a single page.

First off, how many realize that as of…[Read more]

You’re braver than I am Old Timer,

I NEVER take on the Isabella quest until I am at least level 10 to 15 and have the curaiss armor, shootist, cleaver shot, and some of the sword fighting perks. Those guys at the Cathedral are bugger hard and I have been there. 30 times plus 30 times.

MK

@Craiggo, I will have to put a list together of the characters with armor. I am actually working on a bunch more as we speak. I have Alonso Ramirez and Amaro Pargo finished. Jeffrey did some additional magic and was able to figure out how to get multiple animations to work with one character. What that means now is that I can have many different…[Read more]

Yeah faces can be tricky. I have hundreds of cut out photo shop faces now. I think I would try to make Modyford’s face fill in the space better. His head looks too small for all of the wig hair. What made you want to change Modyford?
