I have a question about the Maelstrom Engine

[Dragon Pirate]

Hi guys, recentrly I thought about playing again Age of Pirates GOF Historical ERAS 2, but i sae that need to pay for this engine, Some time ago I remember playing this mod, but I don’t remember if I made donations to contribute to it before or not, how can I see if I’m part of the Loyalty membership that was established February 2018, consisting of contributing members.
Can anyone help me with how I can see this and download the engine, because I remember having a lot of fun with the mod, but today I can’t afford to buy the engine for $12 because I live in Brazil and converting it to my country’s currency a considerable amount that I cannot afford at the moment. Please Help me.

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

You’re supposed to put the contents of the eras 2 pack into the DirectX 64 folder

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.

Extract your Maelstrom engine and copy the DirectX9_64bit to wherever you want your install to be located. Rename this folder Age of Pirates 2. Extract the contents of the Eras 2 pack to this folder. You should see your Program folder next to the modules folder in the directory. The save folders should merge. You should also see your Start.ini in this directory same as the Config.exe.
Run the config.exe
Setup the settings to your liking and hit Save & Play to launch the game. Create a short cut to the Maelstrom.exe and rename the shortcut to Age of Pirates 2. Copy this shortcut to where you have your games kept and run that from now on to launch the game directly.

In the future when you want to update, copy the save folder from your directory to keep your saves. Repeat the above process, then put your save folder back in.

Bonus.
Open Start.ini
Under “[sound_aliases]” add this line under the other items
soundAliasPath = Fantasy\
Save and close
Open config.exe, and change your Sound Scheme path to Fantasy, save and play
