Mod Release Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0

Luke159

Buccaneer
Storm Modder
GOF 2.0 is built on GOF 1.1, this is because this was more stable and allows for a platform for future improvements to be done. Some changes to this have been made like realistic costs been changes, RTBL settings etc. This version is not going to have all the features you are use to in GOF 1.2, this is back to basics in a way. This doesn't mean that at some point features from GOF 1.2 will not be implemented, that will happen but at a very slow pace because of testing and trying to make sure the bugs from GOF 1.2 aren't also brought into this new version.

This is up as beta testing because its the stability of the game that requires testing, and i figured it would be nice for you guy's to feel involved. I am also hopping that some of you might be interested in helping develope GOF 2.0, the main aim is not to add new features just yet but to fix issues within the mod and game. I am limited in what i can do, for example i am no coder so i can't rewrite coding that isn't working correctly, i don't play the questlines so i don't work on fixes for them.

With help from coders and other modders this would be a great way to finally have a stable version of GOF and in time implement features from GOF 1.2 (again focusing on bug fixing and game stability). So please send me a PM or post your interests bellow. Sorry to say this but due to no way to upload the mod in a single line i have had to split it into parts, there are seven parts at 1.99 MB's per part, apart from the final part been (i think) 134MB's or there abouts.

///////Change Log:
* Improved RTBL settings.
* Goods prices changed for realistic costs mod switch.
* Ship reductions done, now less than 100 ships.
* Ship rates changed.
* Ship speeds, lowed for more realistic speeds.
* Ship turning speeds reduced to be more acceptable.
* Cannon/culverine HP increased.
* Moon texture changed.
* Sea calmness changed.
* Can't go to shore after starting as pirate nation = fixed
* Cannon/culverine ranges increased.
* Red Leg Greaves starts with ship "Schooner".
* Jerremy Pitt starts with ship "Empress".
* Can't load texture resource\textures\WORLDMAP\INTERFACES\EVENTBKG.TGA.tx = fixed
* Can't load texture resource\textures\WORLDMAP\INTERFACES\BUTTON.TGA.tx = fixed
* Almost all features from GOF 1.2 included now.

////////Explinations Of Above Changes:
Improved RTBL:
RTBL is a feature you can toggle on or off in the mods options, with it on you will see improvements to the tactical side of naval battles. Battles will take longer and skills will play a larger roll in how well you can do during battles. The first thing you will find when just starting out is how little damage you receive or deal to enemy ships and their crew, this is because the codding for shot types has been modified in a way that each shot type plays a role. Round shot is more for damaging ships at a distance, and although it will kill crew and damage sils it is more for damaging the ship while chainshot is for damaging the rigging and will also kill crew easier than round shot. Grape shot is the crew killer, this shot type will do next to no damage to the hull and rigging but till kill the crew easier than any other shot type. Bombs are a close quarters shot type, these are designed to do damage in all area's but can leave you in a position where your in boarding range of the enemy ship(s).

Realistic Goods Prices:
This was changed to give you a more realistic feel to trading because no merchant got rich fast from trading, it took time and time is what it will now take. You will still make more than enough money to cover your monthly upkeep. But it will mean your going to be more busy at the start trying to get money to buy a new ship, hire a officer, cover the ship upkeep etc. To make sure that it was more realistic (due to game/ my limitation) i have increased the cost of important goods such as food, shot types, medicine, weapons etc. Luckily you won't be resupplying your ships at every port so you don't need to worry to much about this. Just keep a note that when you do need to restock a ship that its going to cost you a lot fo money.

Ship Reductions:
We was planning on doing this before GOF 1.2 was released but those ofus who had been working on COAS from the start or who had ported/ worked on ships was finding it hard to see ships be removed. So rather than remove ships i simply added ships (started with a blank text document and went from there). It was the easiest way for me to do it, there are a few ships that may make it in but for the most part this is now finished. You will find a nice spread out feel to the ships now and most ships been more unique.

Ship Rates:
We have alway's ranked ships by the amount of guns mounted, less than 10 guns means its a class 7 ship, more than 100 use to mean a class 1 ship. This was the problem though, you would find powerfull ships in class 5 with 30+ guns. Took away a lot of the fun. So i have redone the ship rates to match what i wanted to achieve, and now you will find that the classes 5, 6 and 7 are more for small to medium sized ships with 29 guns or less. Class 4 and up is where the big boy's start to be seen.

Ship Speeds:
I looked at the ship speeds and decided to do a little look to get a more suitable basic ship speed, in stead i found the fastest every record set durring the age of sail, that was set by a French Corvette at 14.5 knots. So i figured lets do all the ship speeds and make it a little more realistic, i like the new ship speeds i think it adds more fun to the game and to naval battles.

Ships Turning Speed:
Not much to say about this one, apart from the ships turing speeds for all ships has been modified in one way or another to give each ship a more acceptable feel to them.

Cannon and Culverine Health Increased:
This was to make naval battles last longer, i know in real life a ship could loose many guns froma single broadside and as much as i would love to see that been made possible in COAs i feel that it would need to be a toggle switch because its not for everyone. So i took the route of increase the HP means less chance of a gun falling out that quickly and more difficult naval battles.

GOF 1.2 Ships And Textures:
Well its been proven that the ships in GOF 1.2 look better and most of them work perfectly, but to kill 2 birds with 1 stone it would be nice to see the GOF 1.2 ships outside of GOF 1.2 and see if they could be the soal reason for the game crashing durring big fights (i personally don't think it is just the ships).

New Moon Texture:
I have never liked the moon in COAS, its almost as if you could jump onto it. So after seeing the one in POTC's latest build mod i decided to add that to this mod and it works very nicelty.

Sea Calmness Fixed:
I have now looked into the sea again and have made many changes, now the sea will be much more rougher, so you will have times when it will be calm ish and times when it will be rough. The sea is no longer a constant similar thing, in GOF 1.2 the sea had been made to change to a more rougher sea as the night drew in. GOF 2.0 has been made in a different way, although it keeps the same concept it doesn't have the level of calmness that you found in GOF 1.2.

Cannon And Culverine Range Increased:
The 4Ibs cannon had a range of 300 and the 4ibs Culverine had a rane of 500. Now all calibure ranges have been increased by 100, so 4ibs Cannon is now 400 and 4ibs Culverine is 600. This doesn't mean that you can sit a long way from your target and pound them, although you can sit a little further away now. In fact the maximum range is 650, so the changes still keep with the idea of close fighting.

Characters Starting Ships Changed:

Don't worry this isn't every character its Jerremy Pitt's ship that has been changed because the Colonial Schooner is no longer in the game, so his ship is now the Empress. Red Leg Greaves also has been added to the small group of characters who start oout with a spacific ship, Red Leg starts with the Schooner.

Ship Interfance Textures.TGA.tx Fixed:

For some reason the ships interfance imagies must also be placed in the reasource/textures folder, don't get why that is but if they aren't then the system log stats texture missing for these ships. Although not game breaking it was done to reduce the amount of reported issue's and also a step into the right direction in hopefully having a more stable version.

/////Installation:
1. Install a fresh copy of COAS.
2. Download and install Gentlemen Of Fortune 2.0 Full Mod ( requires 7zip and is a self installing file, just guid the installer to where you installed COAS.)

////////////////////////////////GOF 2 Beta Patch 1.4

* Cannon and Culverine HP increased slightly (to reduce the gun fall out problems).
* Filters in stores added.
* Ship Cannon State added.
* Victuals for both ships added.
* New more realistic compass textures that removes the wind and radar so you have to look and see for yourself which way the wind is blowing.

////////////Fixes:
* Hull_upgrade 1, 2 and 3.TGA.tx was missing now added.
* Sail_upgrade 1, 2 and 3.TGA.tx was missing now added.
* Ship Empress interface imagie now done.
* Captain Blood now becomes a pirate after taking the Arabella ship (requires testing).
* Sand texture fixed.

So you got it extracted?

I will update the first post to state that 7 zip is a must to extract the exe.
 
yep it extracts fine with 7 zip

just tried a new game with the spanish character. engine.exe stopped working after i selected the dialog option to go to shore
and now i get it every time i try to start the game

edit: tried it a couple more times and it doesn't happen every time but regularly like 3 out of 10 times
 
Ok thanks, i will look into that, never had that happen to me. But then i have only tested the English and pirates out so far. The pirate nation can't be played yet (i have the fix in a patch, which i will be uploading later tonight).
 
english character seems to work ok so far. haven't made it out to sea yet.
the dutch merchant also crashes at the same spot

there's also the sound issue that i also got in the vanilla game but not in GOF 1.2 if i config it with safe mode
i'm running it on win 7 x64
 
Ok thanks bud, i have released a patch which you will find in the first post and the chasnge log for the patch is in the second page. I have tested the Dutch and Spanish out and the game doesn't crash and you are able to go ashore.

I will have to look into the sound problems, i can't remember off the top of my head how that was fixed now.
 
i solved the sound problem by editing engine.ini
set UseMM = 0

i installed the patch and tried a pirate char but it still remains on the ship after the dialog
also tried a french char and its the same problem as the spanish and dutch ones

edit: i got to the point where u take the spanish ship with the english char and the ship seems to be lacking textures. i also saw this happen sometimes with the ship at the main menu

btw what is the max speed and maneuverability for ships that u can get now?
 
Thats good to hear:onya , i'm still looking to see how this was fixed in GOF 1.2 without editing the engine.ini. I also run on windows 7.

My bad i included the original file i had edited, i will be raring up the new patch and uploading that in a few minutes.

I haven't seen this happen yet, if it happens again can you take a screenshot (you will have to use print screen and then use any pain program to paste it into. the game doesn't take screenshots).

The unique ships will be faster, with speeds ranging up to around 15 knots with the quest ships like the Corvette, Blue Bird been able to sail a little quicker. As for turning, the smaller the ship the more maneuverable it will be. The quest ships again will be more maneuverabible than your average ship, and trade ships aswell as big war ships will have a much slower turn rate.
 
i actually got the idea by using winmerge to compare GOF 1.2 to this and saw it was set like that in 1.2 so i tried it and it worked

now for some lovely pics :D

blue frigate :)

was asking bout the speeds coz i saw this one generated with over 16 knots sometimes
 
Well you could try the model Arabella1 from the model/ships folder and see if that fixes here, because the textures are from GOF 1.2.

I love your screens, they are amazing.:rolleyes:

The new patch is uploading, because of its size (yep its a big one) its going to take a while because its in parts (5 parts). I will be combining the patch to GOF 2.0 and re-uploading that at a later date, for now i just want to get things going and see what happens. I am now going to check the Arabella out ingame and make sure i she looks correct for me. So i can avoid having ship texture problems with her when i do update the full mod.
 
No problem bud.:onya

Yeah i'm hopping that one day we will see many new stories and fixes to COAS been done. At the moment i'm the only person working on this version of GOF so its going to be a slow process.

Managed to get the parts fro the patch down to 4 parts, so part 1 is now uploaded and link is on post 1. Only 3 parts to finish uploading now.:bounce
 
You are correct, i have found a few models i hadn't put in. Because my original intentions was for GOF 2.0 to be a patch i didn't add all the ship models and textures which i thourght i had done.:facepalm So i will be busy re-uploading the full version of GOPF 2.0 once i have all the ship models and textures in place. Sorry about this, to be on the safe side, just take all the ships models and textures from GOF 1.2 and put them into your GOF 2.0 install. I will get the updated version of GOF 2.0 uploaded sometime tomorrow.

P.S. Patch is uploaded and all links are in the first post.:dance
 
i had a look at the vanilla game folders..
they use the same structure with models/ships/ArabellaShip1 and textures/ships/ArabellaShip
so maybe its from the coding

i'm calling it a day. gonna look at it tomorrow
 
Lol, the folder for ships is alway's with a 1 at the end, for the texture and coding the 1 is never included in less the ship already had a 1 at the end of its name like say Corvette1. If that was the case and she was ported over and didn't work then a 1 would have to be added at the end of her name so she ship folders would look as follows Corvette11 not Corvette1. I know very confussing, its just the way its been prgramed to read the ship folders.

Ok good night bud and thanks for your help:onya , hope to have the fully updated version uploaded for you tomorrow. I still can't believe i missed out these ship folders.:no
