No problem – glad to do it. I’ve studied that topic extensively over the years. In my twenties I began to search for what my “world view” paradigm was. I read everything from the tracts of Eusebius, Augustine, the Apostolic Fathers, to the Torah and Koran and even eastern philosophy, The Analects, Upanishads, Bagavad Gita, Dhammapada. It all…[Read more]

OK Jeffrey,

I got it sorted out. It was my failure to properly copy a . that kept it from running. (2.1.5.7 vice 2 1.5.7) Anyway I got it running with my latest work and its been working fine for the last hour or more. I did tweak the camera settings back to my liking in AI/Cameras and I also copied an additional path for sound as it was silent…[Read more]

Well I think personally its very easy to code ships into the game but then I’ve done it literally hundreds of times. There are a lot of steps and many people think it is difficult.

Honestly the modeling part of it is the very hardest. I will give you an example. We have about 5 ships in the mod that are from VCO (Voyage Century Online) and I…[Read more]

OK will do. When we are ready to package this for the new version, we will want to get rid of the pointers and have everything native to that version/download. So I see the current implementation as useful for testing and the patch but eventually when we are satisfied that everything works right, we will transition to the more permanent settings.

@Steven

I will start a new thread for wanna be modelers. The post will have links to the tools necessary to do the import and conversion work necessary. There are already lots of tutorials so I will post links for those as well.

I could probably help you a little, but I am in learning mode myself. I am looking for a good modeler that I can hire…[Read more]

Welcome to the Reef Steven!

I am glad you are enjoying the mod and thanks for the compliments.

Yes we have a number of POTBS ships in the mod. The 20 gun Dutch Fregatte is the Postillionen from POTBS. One of our Dutch 2nd raters is the Frederick Willem zu Pferde from POTBS (I was instrumental in importing that ship for PA! and in its conversion…[Read more]

Sorry Jeffrey,

Here I am pontificating to others to read my “Read me” files before playing ERAS2 and I didn’t read the one you included.

Because of this I cost myself a great deal of time and pain. I ruined the version of ERAS2.1.5.8 that I have been working with. No worries because I back everything up daily. Didn’t lose anything because I…[Read more]

Yeah I noticed the cool picture of the Galleon on the Splash screen. That’s cool, because the Germans have Batavia as theirs.

OK so I spoke too soon. I ran your patch files and the fighter added files fine. However when I put in the test patch files, the game won’t start.

Here’s the error file and system file errors:

COMPILE ERROR – file:…[Read more]

Yes I have been playing it. No issues yet. I want to build the next full release off of that version. I also want to still offer the large download, but also a broken up download in 6 pieces like the Germans have done.

MK

Well I hope the test has a positive outcome! My thoughts are that your announcement will simply be ignored.

I tried to download the newest German edition (MOTCS) the other night(I speak German – lived there for 5 years). I played the previous version which was very good.

Jan has it broken up into 6 parts I believe. After I got them all…[Read more]

Looking really awesome Orazio! Any chance this might be done in a week or so? I found two additional ships, so I am delayed another week to week and a half with the patch. I also added more weapons.

So we are up to 4 new ships (12 with skins), Two new firearms and 11 new hand weapons. And possibly your new cabins along with all of the other…[Read more]

Congratulations on getting this to work Jeffrey! This is quite an achievement. It is really too bad you weren’t around a couple of years ago before everything went sour. If this had existed then we probably could have got enough of a team together to actually begin porting New Horizons over to GOF. One of Boelen’s excuses for not moving that…[Read more]

Thanks for all of your hard work Jeffrey! I myself run Windows 7 so I hope it will be OK on my system once its ready to test.

I hope you will stick around until my part of the mega patch is done. I am about three quarters finished now. Two new ships (although if we go by PA! definitions that’s six new ships because of number of skins. I am…[Read more]

Very interesting Jeffrey.

This is indeed the first step to accomplish what I need!

The next step is find out if —- in the extended area could I get the game to recognize a new model? Such as the SOFS islands, AOP1 Caribbean Tales islands or original POTC islands?

If I can find out how to do this I can rapidly import the work I have already…[Read more]
