    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 -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...

    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!?

    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...

    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...

    Best Tweak you could ever make to this game

    To be perfectly honest I was about an inch away from uninstalling this game out of frustration caused by the games moronic AI programming as it relates to fleet pathfinding. In respect to that observation I'm not sure what boggles the mind more- the fact they left the AI in this state, or the...

    A nice Reputation Tweak

    I just figured out a good tweak for regulating player reputation. This tweak makes it so you don't have to donate to the church 50 times just to get a raise in reputation. You can set it to whatever you like but I find this value works well to better regulate reputation level at any given time...

    Solved Tweak for making officers relinquish items?

    Is there a way to disable the AI behaviour that prevents item swaps when trading with officers? To my understanding the code serves to give preferential treatment respective of an items grade. The problem I have is, I can't swap an officers weapon with one of the same grade even though they...

    Need Help Modifying Boarding Camera/Collisions?

    Are there perhaps any tweaks for the Boarding/Abordage camera that increase the maximum perpendicular viewing angle? Something that annoys me greatly is that the boarding camera is very restrictive. On large decks I can't move the camera on a vertical axis and can't see what is happening on...

    Need Help Problem editing Ship Textures

    I am trying to edit a ship texture belonging to the Nightmare ship as I didn't like the look of it. While I was successful editing the Hull I'm having a weird issue with the Deck. In the picture you can see a weird disconnect with the textures on the masts. I can only assume that it has...

    Did you know they had Mobile phones in the 1600's?

    I was on a merchant quest which failed and my status devolved from Trusted sailor to Regular sailor, and not more than 1 hour passed before Dutch Bounty hunter ships were on my tail. Hmm, gee-whiz. That's an awfully quick response time. Its as if by some miracle every ship and person in the...

    How to get to Fort Orange?

    Finally decided to try one of these merchant quests but I didn't realize until just now that the target for delivery is on a hostile island doh! On a map I bought it says Fort Orange is on the tip of Jamaica, but I can't find the thing. I've been cruising up and down the coast but only see...

    Solved Possible to Modify Minimum Wind Speed?

    Any idea if this can be done? Game can get depressingly boring travelling at 0.1 knots 50% of the time. The median wind speed in this game, or at least in GOF, is annoyingly low. I've travelled around the world and the fastest wind speed I've seen is 14 knots..

    Need Help General Questions

    Hi there, Just started playing the GOF mod yesterday but I'm having some trouble with a few things. My first issue is that I apparently suck at land combat. I set difficulty to Lieutenant which appears to be less than medium difficulty, but every ship and almost any enemy I fight one-shots...
