MK & Jeffrey: Have you looked into ModDB hosting ERAS?
http://www.moddb.com/

Thanks again Jeffrey – new file worked a treat. I bypassed the emblem place-holder with changes to the Lines 1553 & 1554 of that new shipyard.c (February 24, 2017 at 4:17 am post)

GameInterface.SHIP_WINDOW_EMBLEME.(attrNameTmp).name1 = "INTERFACESDisketa_Other.tga.tx";
GameInterface.SHIP_WINDOW_EMBLEME.(attrNameTmp).FileName =…[Read more]

Jeffrey – I can’t get your Sails fix to work.

I get thrown out of the dialogue with Shipwright when I try to click on the “change colour of sails” option.

CAN ANYONE ELSE GIVE SOME FEEDBACK ON THIS AND TRY IT OUT? Might just be my bugged game

Yay! 🙂

Cheers MK! I know you’ve been having similar problems with water pipes bursting – I hope you didnt get to many things damaged irrepairably due to this (its not funny…really). And the irony of the situation – here we are discussing ‘water’ problems on a pirate/naval/ships/sailing/sea site.

What you said about the spiders made me jolt! From late…[Read more]

Best tip I could recommend for newcomers is QUICKSAVE before you go to the Tavern for the first time, especially in ERAS. This way if you dont find any officers (Treasurers, Navigators and Cannoneers can be very useful when starting, increasing your wealth/bartering skills, your sailing speed and ability to hit the other ship/reload faster…[Read more]

Sorry for delay (see Off-topic forum for why I’ve been absent last few months)

Hello MK! Thanks for replying and sharing your knowledge. No checks for land mass then? Thats a shame concerning both the ‘sail away’ and your ‘ambient harbour’ – which I would have loved to have seen. I have been reliant on the “defend (my ship)” option with the…[Read more]

Adam – WHERE are you installing your game? If you’re using “C:Program Files (x86)….” – DONT!

Install it directly in a folder from “C:” instead (i.e. “C:ERAs2 1.5.7”). Installing into “Program Files (x86)” can cause issues with win7/8 or higher.

You’ve probably already done this, but just in case you haven’t 🙂

Necro-post:

Star Wars – The Farce awakens, Jar Jar Abrahams, shameless regurgitation, etc…

I was not particularly enamoured with it, to put it mildly 😉

What perplexes me though is coming to terms with the “death of independant journalism” in the last few years. You COULD NOT find a negative review of that film for love nor money when it came…[Read more]

Hi guys. Thought this is as good a place to leave an update on what’s been happening in my life.

I moved into a rented property 3 years ago on November. After several weeks there, I became aware of a damp problem. The floor, which was mostly linoleum and tiled in bathroom, appeared to be soaking. I just had a mattress without bedstand when I…[Read more]

Wow!! Orazio…that is breath-taking! The rigging looks fantastic, as much as you may find it frustrating, it’s starting to pay off well. Very professional 🙂

Early days yet – but regarding texturing, I hope you go for the deep, dark wood look. Already looks gorgeous with your first “coat”.

Seriously mate, that is stunning!

Hi Nick. I think Modern Knight and Jeffrey, that could help you with installation issues, are quite busy in real life just now. Hopefully they’ll return soon.

Are you using win 7/8 or later OS? If you install the game to “C:Program Files (x86)”, this can cause issues. I suggest installing it to your root C: Drive (i.e. I’ve made my own folder…[Read more]

Hehe!

No Permissions issue, those files didnt exist in my Eras 1.5.7 install. They ARE in the orignal download, but not my installion folder. Rather than blame the little hamster at the wheels of 7-zip (who’s probably had a heart attack or in a coma after coming into contact with MK’s humungous texture files :p), I think this <ahem> ‘user’ MIGHT…[Read more]

Apologies – that quicksave got overwritten. Maybe a blessing as it happened again in another playthrough. This time crashed after playing for over 20+ mins, when speaking to bermuda storeowner. This was immediately after getting NPC (William Besson?) to join crew in tavern. Copied all info from crash & restarted. When I tried to reload the…[Read more]

The suggestion that it maybe the ‘release’ not recognising that npcs are dead – scratch that! Those npc listings correspond to Moises Vauquelin and Juan Corso NPCS – of whom I am 100% sure I haven’t bumped-off (…yet!).

Regardless, Quicksaves are the work of the devil! (-as are mobile text messages too!)

Jeffrey – do you want a 2GB .dmp file from a crash? <rofl!>

I wont be offended if you say no. The last 2 .dmp’s from crashes came in at 1GB, which I thought excessive, This one takes the biscuit though!

These are crashes like I described a few posts back – from initially starting a game and loading last save. They seem to always involve…[Read more]

* Meant to add: Thats the “typing” glitch nipped in the bud too. All working as it should! Ignore my ramblings about worldmap models – I dont know what Im talking about! [You probably guessed!]. I thought because those entries had missing text i.e “__anish.bark” it might be linked. A random guess from an amateur. You’re the coder, dude!

Can I…[Read more]
