    Mod Release Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0

    It seems every time I go to look into the porting, another issue rears its ugly head. Now I have a new issue where some world map encounters crash the game. Perhaps something to do with those glitchy/twitchy ships. Gah! I've almost had it trying to make this version play better lol.

    Solved Tweak for making officers relinquish items?

    Oh yes, New Horizons. I've read some good things. I'd be playing with that over vanilla definitely. Who knows it might end up being my favourite.

    Need Help Modifying Boarding Camera/Collisions?

    Ahh, that's fair enough. Soul-crushing but fair lol.

    Dancing Textures on Ships from afar?

    Yeah, I've seen similar oddities before but nothing exactly like this. You may be onto something. In this case the ships are uniformly flickering like all the textures are having a rave party. It only happens from a distance and normalizes perfectly at close range. Only two ships out of probably...

    Don't be a Jerk when Firing Officer Tweak

    Good thinking 99. If I knew what the hell I was doing I would add dialogue branches to make this optional as well as a deeper dialogue tree. The way the game links dialogue texts is so bizarre to me.

    Dancing Textures on Ships from afar?

    Has anyone else on their travels encountered weird dancing/flickering textures on some ship models? I just noticed an odd occurrence of a select few ships (two so far) that have a weird texture glitch when observed from a distance. I suspect its some kind of LOD issue with the mesh they use...

    Don't be a Jerk when Firing Officer Tweak

    This likely won't be applicable for many users, but this is a personal tweak I thought might be worth sharing here. Something that really bothered me is how childish and narcissistic the discourse is between you and an officer you wish to fire. It makes both parties come across as ingrates and...

    sounds in AoP

    Lol. Those tavern sounds are so grating. It's like the sound engineer threw a bunch of random sounds into a blender and this is the result..

    Best Tweak you could ever make to this game

    I would certainly hope so. The pathfinding of ships in this version is so astoundingly bad that if I didn't know better I would say they were purposefully programmed to ram into each other lol. This one tweak has quite literally saved the game for me. I was about to rage-quit it for good after...

    Need Help Modifying Boarding Camera/Collisions?

    Hmm, I actually didn't notice this at all when looking through free cam. Perhaps I just wasn't looking hard enough lol. Either way it's incredibly frustrating to be deprived of such basic player control. Its still driving me mad. From a gameplay perspective those boarding scenes are what I would...

    A nice Reputation Tweak

    Hah! No don't do that. I'm actually historically quite bad at these things. It's only out of sheer desperation that I have made some discoveries.

    Solved Tweak for making officers relinquish items?

    I find it extremely odd that this toggle exists in the first place. I see absolutely no need for that type of restriction. I have not yet played POTC. I think it was out of fear that I haven't tried it- Fear of it being functionally even worse than COAS given the time of release. COAS by itself...

    GOF Historical Eras II Help for Personal Change

    I think that was wishful thinking on my part. Though I don't think it would be all that complicated, not for a coder at least. The good thing is the functions already exist, the only problem would be mapping new controls to a modified condition of the same function. Essentially number keys...

    Need Help General Questions

    Ahh roger that! Now that you've mentioned it, the framerate in this game is very peculiar. I tried messing with the fps cap but it made it play much worse. Equally annoying how the cursor/camera speed fluctuates rapidly depending on the backdrop. Seems like Maelstrom is holding all the keys to...

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

    I don't think there exists any tutorial features beyond the basic inauguration given on the ship. Then again I'm not known for playing tutorials of any kind lol. The part that threw me off was that some stores just look like ordinary buildings/houses. I still get lost in towns looking for them. :S

    How to get to Fort Orange?

    I've noticed several other strange locational syncing issues like this. Unsure if its part of the base game or GOF, but there are other ports that aren't properly synced to world map geography. An issue I'm guessing is long forgotten in these older versions. Possibly more bizarre is that you...

    Mod Release Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0

    Hey Pioter, That sounds like it may be worth the switch just for that. I downloaded ERAS 2 a few days ago but have been lamenting the idea of starting a new game, especially with the consideration that my beloved companion Constance Magliore is apparently missing from that version. I've been...

    Solved Tweak for making officers relinquish items?

    Blistering barnacles I've done it! In Program\interface\items.c else { SetNodeUsing("EQUIP_BUTTON" , true); } You can now equip officers just as you would yourself through the items interface. Who knew the solution was so simple.

    Need Help Modifying Boarding Camera/Collisions?

    Well I still haven't found a solution for the boarding camera but I have discovered a nice little hack to make boarding less retarded, that is to say having more room to fight and more pathfinding options for crew. It's by no means an elegant solution but it gets the job done. I'm filing it...

    player carrying weight and character stats

    A better way would be to just add whatever value increase you want in the existing calculation. iBonus = iBonus + 50 + CHAR_ITEMS_WEIGHT + GetCharacterSPECIALSimple(_chref, SPECIAL_S)*(GetCharacterSPECIALSimple(_chref, SPECIAL_E) + 12 - MOD_SKILL_ENEMY_RATE); return iBonus;
