I may be a bit of a blockhead, but I still don’t understand what I need to do. If I get what you’re saying, I need to download the ERAS 2 package and put it in the DirectX 64 folder in order to play GOF 1.2. Oh by the way, I still don’t know how to set-up the short-cut files. Obviously I am confused and need more help.

Jeffery, I just bought the Maelstrom Engine and the GOF 1.2 Mod. Both downloaded correctly and I am trying to do the setup so I can play GOF 1.2. NO LUCK. I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do as far as the shortcut files go. I keep getting errors about the target being wrong or the location being wrong. I have the Engine file in F:\Maelstrom and GOF 1.2 in F:\Maelstrom\Games. I am running DIRECTX9_64 bit and my Start.ini points to F:\GOF 1.2.

This thing is driving me crazy. PLEASE HELP, Ted

Thank you Jeffery. Now I can move my ship and make some real money.

I really like what you guys have done. Ted

Thanks for your help MK. I’ve finally unpacked the game and it’s running great. I like what you guys did with the textures, cabins, and ship skins. It has a really cool look and feel. Now for the bad news. I can’t change the Mod Options. No matter what I do the weights and costs stay the same. I’m playing as Drummond and captured a “Valciria”. I just completed a quest with van de Velde and now have 433 gold @ 9cw per unit. That’s 3897 cw. My ships capacity is 1832. If I could use CoAS weights it would only be 866 cw. I could actually get that on the ship.
As usual I may just be confused, but I doing things the same way I did in ERAS 1.5.7.
I really like this game. Thanks for your help, Ted

Hi Guys, Unfortunately I am not the sharpest tool in the drawer when it comes to downloading and installing stuff. Here is my problem: I downloaded ERAS2.6 from Mega; I then extracted it to my desktop; What I have is a folder with files ERAS2.6.7z.001 thru ERAS2.6.7z.018. I thought I would get a folder that resembled what I had before, with PROGRAM,RESOURCE, et al. Obviously I have done something wrong, but I don’t know what.

Please Help, Ted

I like it, but it still needs work on the syntax. Translation is somewhat rough. Game its self plays well, although harder than necessary for casual gamers. Still it’s fun to play and remind me of the other games in the series. I bought it on sale for like five bucks. I think regular price is $14.99, so it’s still a great deal. Give it a try, I think you will like it.

Hey MK, I don’t know if this qualifies as a bug, but some of my higher level NPC’s don’t use the best armor. For example: uses French Fencing Gloves vice Spanish Breastplate. Also sometimes don’t use the best pistol (uses single-shot instead of Brace of Pistols) when qualified with Cleaver Shot skill. Again don’t know if this is bug or something written into the code to give them more choices based on weight and accuracy. Still playing and loving it. sgmret

MK, I’m not sure that Le Francois problem is fixable. I’ve had that happen as far back as the original COAS. It also happens at Havana and Puerto Principie and it’s occurred sometimes at Capster or Bat Beaches.

Sorry, you made it sound simple enough that any dummy (me) could do it if pointed in the right direction.
As far as the Battleship/Manowar quest goes, I was talking about a problem that existed in GoF 1. As far as I know the Dutch Quest line works fine in ERAS.

[sgmret]

Sounds like a pretty simple fix. Glad I could help.

What’s the file name? Can I do this myself? I did follow the instructions to recode the Dutch National Quest. Remember the problem with the different kinds of Battleships?

The crashes happened with England against the French at Cayman and with
Phips against the Spanish at Fort de France and Charlestown.

Those are the only ones I’ve tried since I downloaded the new version.
Getting Pirate England to a point where I could get these quests took me
about 7 hours. I will blow his quest and see if any others pop up.

I am a real fan of COAS and the work you guys have done with GoF and Era’s.

Thanks for the quick response.

MK, I’m having the same kind of problem as Kuroi. My crashes happen when I come off the strategic map during named-pirate ship-battle quests. Have used two different characters, Phips and England, and the same problem happens. Quests with shore-battles work fine. I’m using latest download. When I was using the older version I didn’t have this problem.
