I think you’re right. If I could find the program file that governs ship spawning and give it some additional instructions with locator and distance parameters, it might be possible to fix this. However as things stand, I have no idea where that might be in the executables OR source code files.

I would like to fix it though. I will often…[Read more]

Blas,

I would love this more than about anything. You know I obtained permission from them to take what I wished from their resource files. That’s why you see many of the PO:TEHO weapons, characters and ships in GOF: ERAS2.

My own opinion is that they were almost finished with the translation and would have released it with the Program files.…[Read more]

I read the post again. Thanks for the correction from Blaz to Blas. Some English sources have it spelled with the “Z” and that’s why I made the mistake. I will have that fixed for the patch. Still I think I have a good variety of Spaniard NPCs in the mod.

That cannon bug is easy to fix. I got most of the ships with the…[Read more]

Craig, I wanna see your screenshot man!

Where did it go?

MK

Thanks you guys for the wonderful compliments. Makes me feel really good about all the work. I love this game.

I am pretty excited about this as well Dennis. In a year from now I can see us having all of the SOFS/POTC locations in GOF Eras. Work that should have happened several years ago if we could have got cooperation from certain resistant people.

In addition I am still working on the jetty code. So it might be possible to also have ships docked…[Read more]

@Craiggo: The fmodex sound file that I ended up using is not even from an Akella game. I ripped it open and added to it. It works better than any other fmodex file I have tried. Is this with the no hud mod that its doing this? Usually I only lose sound for a few seconds with the new file.

AWESOME! Enjoy my friend. I really want to hear your opinion! I need your help on a project I’m working on. Also we can talk more – but I would like you to lead up the effort on MOD3 when I have it ready. I have not reskinned a lot of the later Era ships and they could use the famous Craigo touch.

So as promised. Here’s an update on what I am working on.

– Character Index 90+ percent complete (citizen and officer model renaming complete – testing still required)
– New characters 90 percent done. Animation problem with new swashbuckler character resolved.
– New items finished (although still looking for more ideas) – found a few new…[Read more]

Hi Craig,

Did you get my e-mail? Did you try what I suggested?

MK

That is indeed something to shoot for. I think it might be possible if we adapt the same code in the Port Controller into the shipyard. However, the same issues would apply. So your crew would have to come off of the ship when its left for repairs. I would also have to figure out some simple code to add to give the game instructions on how much…[Read more]

This is a great idea Dennis! I believed I responded about this privately – thought it has posted here but evidently not.

If I was still playing on the same version everyone else has I would post multiple save games for folks. When the patch goes out. I will post multiple saves here so people can see my world and crew.

MK

I do not know where that calculation occurs in the files. In the source code which I have and have been making myself more and more acquainted with I have noticed some files concerning time. It may be in there.

I can tell you though from personal experience of playing the game thousands of hours in the last seven+ years that its never more than…[Read more]

Sorry folks if I made the character index problem seem like something easy to fix.

It has been an ongoing headache that I almost have done. Your clues and input have helped me very much.

Kuroi that error message is another manifestation of the character index problem. Once I have the pirates, officers and citizens renamed to a consistent…[Read more]

Take a look at the answers I gave Dennis on ships stats.

In general Warships have much less cargo space than their merchant equivalents because their ribbing/framing was much heavier/thicker and closer together. In addition the ribbing came into the hull much deeper restricting the space much more than merchantmen. Certain merchantmen are going…[Read more]

Thanks Dennis. Yes I can ALWAYS use help. The more you look at files and play with them the more you will come to acquaint yourself with coding in the game.

I took C in school as well as FORTRAN and I was raised on ADA and Basic. I used to write games in basic when I was a kid. So I know how code works and have certifications in computer…[Read more]
