Click to expand...
That is fair enough.
I reckon if the base game works on the updated engine, that is all we could ask for. :doff

I don't think Jan is finished posting yet.

Also, don't be surprised if this vanishes from your view tomorrow.
This subforum is meant to be hidden. I have no clue why apparently it isn't, but we'll be rectifying that very soon.
 
Please leave open Pieter.
I do not go here to the source code.
It takes a lot more.
 
Will you give us here those nice and smooth graphics like on the screenshots that you provided on another post here? :D I don't think anyone cares about source code :D
 
Repairing the Caribbean Map
are you going to
Path: Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Source Code\START\RESOURCE\MODELS\WorldMap\islands
in the game
Path: Age of Pirates 2\RESOURCE\MODELS\WorldMap\islands

seeking it:
mein_waves.gm

change it's name in
mein_area.gm

The card is now displayed correctly.
It will be displayed no small waves more.

Now we have 2 new problems.
The texture of sea.tga file is corrupt.
The waves are not designed for this format.

Install these new textures: WorldMap
 
@ Mirsaneli
so could the future hold
Windows 8.1
Full DH (1920 x 1080)

so it looks like when you have scrolled farthest

so it looks like when you have increased by approximately 50%
020.jpg


so it looks like when you have fully expanded

Unfortunately, my monitor supports maximum resolution of 1600x900, but it's still looking amazing! :)

is there more content coming, because I would like to install all your upgrades to my COAS?
 
My monitor supports maximum resolution of 1980 x 1080 .... 27 Zoll screen.

And now we improve graphics and stability ...
You know the message .. in the system.log
system.log: Can't load texture resource\textures\.tx

Find all files ending with
xxx.tga

modify them in
xxx.tga.tx

These are the games: PoTC, AoP - Caribbean Tales, AoP2 - CoAS, Sea Dogs: To Each His Own
The games load faster and are lighter.

Have fun, that's a lot files ... :rofl
 
If I got this right, all I have to do is just rename all these files to xxx.tga.tx?

Or is there a program that converts them to this extension?
 
Ok, I converted the files to tga.tx. Is there more content coming? Anything about making the game more compatible with Windows 7, 8.1 or Windows 10? I still sometimes experience crash to desktop when trying to load a save game, very rarely though, but it happens...
