    ERAS 2 -Balanced Loot

    After more playtesting I've come to realize that what I've accomplished here likely constitutes a fraction of what it would take to balance this mod out properly, or more accurately, to better suit a player mentality that doesn't want the world served to them on a silver platter from day one...

    Lots of Skills - No perk points?

    Can anyone offer some insight into why some characters don't acquire perk points at the same rate as others? I'm vaguely aware that characters will earn perk points relative to their Talent coefficiency. What I don't understand is how some characters have less perks per skill point vs someone...

    ERAS 2 - Music and Sound Design .. What!?

    Hmm I didn't think Captain difficulty was considered low/easy. I guess it might be for the naval aspect. I had a far easier time at sea respective of difficulty. It does seem like MK might be conflating pacing with overall difficulty. I think the two should be separated, at least on the level...

    ERAS 2 -Balanced Loot

    Version 3- Rebalanced Skill books. Increased value and rarity. Tried to adjust prices to reflect strength of utility per stat. Some books like Hybrid stat skill book cost a lot more and should be almost impossible to find without buying them. Lvl 3 books doubled in price, greatly increased...

    ERAS 2 -Balanced Loot

    Version 2- Corrected Most Mineral or Trinket type items. No longer can you buy trinkets giving +20/30 skill bonuses for a pittance. Low skill bonus items mostly unchanged. Adjusted some weights to make items more practical. Currently deliberating whether skill books need tweaking.

    ERAS 2 -Balanced Loot

    I rebalanced the loot and loot table as a personal use modification, but thought why not share it for other likeminded players. A simple modification that adjusts value and respective loot chance of items to hopefully correct the ridiculous abundance of high-value loot in ERAS mod. So far Only...

    ERAS 2 - Music and Sound Design .. What!?

    It's quite the conundrum but one I've learned to live with and commit to. Out of principle I'll stick with the silence. Sometimes it feels like I'm practicing getting to know myself through talking to myself. At the very least I have information and progress documented which others can query at...

    ERAS 2 - Music and Sound Design .. What!?

    PS. I believe the reasoning being the loot table imbalance was that there is hardly any loot chance disparity between low and extremely valuable items- That and assuming I am reading it correctly, someone has set max items far too high for high-end items. In some instances itm.XXX.max is set...

    ERAS 2 - Music and Sound Design .. What!?

    Thanks a lot for relaying that, Pieter. And thanks to MK for acknowledging it. I personally like the selection. Some tracks are a little off or feel overbearing for the gravity of some situations, but overall it sets a very authentic tone for that time period. The sound design in relation to the...

    How to Reinit Items?

    Well nvm that. Turns out having one incorrect character in a single entry prevents the debug window from showing altogether. Now if I can find this stupid condition that only allows skill books to register on Pchar without the respective officer appointed. No idea what the idea was behind that...

    How to Reinit Items?

    I'm trying to reinit items but I can't make sense of the Console and cannot even get the debugger to show in ERAS. I wiped Console.c but it changes nothing when I execute the console (F4) Strangely when I do hit F4 a drop down of tiny text appears to Teleport or some such. Strange because there...

    ERAS 2 - Music and Sound Design .. What!?

    Unfortunately that's where the brilliance of the mod ends. The mod on a whole is plagued by severe pacing issues. I'm beginning to get the impression this is the Hello-kitty adventure for pirates. Walk into any generic dungeon > walk out with 1.5 million worth of loot on the 2nd day. Well...

    How to get to Fort Orange?

    It seems this issue still exists even in the latest version of ERAS. Just now I've discovered landmarks that are so far off that they sit in the ocean lol. Fort Orange has the same exact invisible shoreline as GOF 1.0. I guess people want to keep that place hidden.

    ERAS 2 - Music and Sound Design .. What!?

    It's possible that I only feel this way after having my soul gradually eroded by the relentless earhole battery that is GOF 1.0, or more accurately vanilla sound. But shortly after entering ERAS I feel like I have ascended into the heavens and carried off by the fluffiest cloud while being...

    Eras 2 - How did you find Ship Balancing vs GOF?

    Well, after some initial pains of porting my lovely Constance over from GOF and plugging some leaks here and there, I think I am almost ready to indulge in my first ERAS adventure. I was about to commit to Captain level mayhem but something caught my eye, both eyes .. I couldn't help but...

    Mod Release Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0

    Oh good lord! It's official .. I'm an idiot. I was so zeroed in on the Herodescribe that I forgot to check the Resource folder again for the English version of the script lol. While I didn't technically port sweet Constance into ERAS two, I did manage to overwrite an existing character with...

    Mod Release Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0

    Well gee-whiz... I have never been so confused. I went through ERAS mod and wiped every trace of a character including everything from HeroDescribe.txt and the character is STILL there complete with the biography I just wiped from the game.. Also complete with the portrait I replaced and...

    Mod Release Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0

    Say, you wouldn't happen to recall where the main files for unique characters are by chance? I've been rummaging through all the files in Program/character and even outside of that I cannot find a single mention of these unique characters. All I found were the resource files for them.

    How to get to Fort Orange?

    Oh joy! Well that it then. I need to get Maelstrom now! Appreciate the heads-up.

    Need Help How do you sell goods that are on your ship?

    In GOF 1.0 only some stores are fitted to look commercial or have adequate signage. Sometimes the only discernible difference is the colour of the door lol.
