I've been playing long hours. It's cool game.
I have three questions:

- I chose 1764 to play as Enligshman. If it change to different date (a few years), Sweden will be removed and replaced by USA?
- If I chose 1764, can I meet HMS Surprise somewhere? I'm asking because I'm looking for it although I know it's from different decade.
- Is there any possibility to change something in some file to change the date?

Well, it's in Free Play but appearing even the same day.

I noticed some weird things:
- my person is changing to sketelon at night (no matter who it is)

- my ship had normal sails and now they changed to wrecked like in Flying Dutchman

Thanks.
I'm looking at map. No Caracass, Maracaibo and others from Spanish Main?!

Thanks, it works although there's only a few character to choose. I chose Horatio and honestly I have no idea how to get to sail mode.
Is there any site which explains what's further?
Interface is totally different in compare to that I know from AoP2.

So here's the latest update?
https://chezjfrey.itch.io/gentlemen-of-fortune-maelstrom-engine/devlog/734002/ma...

If I bought it once (when I wanted to install AoP2 GOF 2.0), shall I buy it once again? 

Thanks. I'll check.
I hope that I could play both, i.e. this doesn't make AoP2 unplayable.

Is it the same Maelstrom Engline like here?

Thanks a lot.
So Hew Horizons is worth to check and as I understood, it works with POTC, not AoP2.

Can you tell what'd have been done to install it?

Are there any screens of map to check how  many islands were added? I see there's England, France, Holland, Spain, Portugal and USA.

Would it be possible to add these removed ships or to add completly new models beacuse most of them are low/mid-quality?
For example, 30gun frigate, 36gun frigate and patrouille frigate looks beautiful while boussole looks worse.

Like this? It haven't changed anything.

Character Utilite:

void CharacterCheckEquipAll(ref refCharacter)

{

return;//Add this line

if(!CheckAttribute(refCharacter, "id")) return;

//The following is derived from itemstrade.c and itemsbox.c

Items:

SetNodeUsing("EQUIP_BUTTON" , true);

SendMessage(&GameInterface,"lsls",MSG_INTERFACE_MSG_TO_NODE,"EQUIP_BUTTON",0, "#"+XI_ConvertString("Equip that"));

}

else

{

SetNodeUsing("EQUIP_BUTTON" , true);

My officers received two-barel pistols, some of them have even three-barel pistols.

Anyway, they don't fight, just ussually use them and they waste bullets really quickly. I want to give them standard one barrel pistol but they don't choose them. How to make that they'll use one barrel pistols again?

12/11/2023?

I downloaded it and it doesn't work, so probably it's not this. Please PM me if you could. 

Will it work with that?

I'm at Buccaneers Reef channel but can't find it.

Thanks. Perhaps, I used all medicaments from private inventory.

What about medicines and weapons on board? What amount is needed?
When I have e.g. 500 sailors on board, I usually have 600 weapons and 600 medicines. What if I would have only 100 when there're 500 sailors?

Just wonder and haven't seen something like that so far. I mean that 'Hmm, not feelin' so good' - what does it stand for?
I have enough medicaments on board, usually more then sailors.

Hi. I like AoP2 for make me a little surprise sometimes. I've been playing it for years and after some time, I found out that there's something like Fort Orange in Jamaica (because of English Quest mission) or Pearl Divers settlement, etc.

According to Eras, I see that there's Pirate settlement on Cayman Islands now. Turks, Dominica are still abondened but are there any plans for future? 

My question is different - is there more cities or settlements which are not on this map?

Hi. Is there any later version that this one?

Unfortunately, you just can't buy some of them and they're really rare on seas too.

There're also many models which just don't work.

For me, it was hard to find 30 and 36 Gun Frigate. I found them on seas after many hours of checking each formation. In case of 36 Gun Frigate I haven't met any which could have 24lbs + cannons. 30 Gun Frigate seems to be the best made model although I really like 36 Gun Frigate too (but board is weird) and Patroulle Frigate (in some version known as Raa Frigate. 30 Gun Frigate seems to be remodeled HMS Surprise and sometimes Surprise appears, looks to be higher but there're some problems with cannon and every time camera starts at bottom board.

I would like to see more corvettes and frigates.

Hello. Can you explain me what each of these options adds?

Hi.

I finnished English Quest but I would like to change it for working e.g. for Holland. I've never done Holland, French and Spanish nation quests. After ending quests mission for one of these countries, general governor from other country doesn't want to take me because of working for England.

I have 2 questions:

- if upgrading relations with one of nations I would like to work for to Admiration can help?

- is there any idea to edit something in files to have the same save (ships and others) but reset working for England?

I captured a few colonies for England and then, I captured Santa Catalina for my own and set one of my officers as a governor.

After that, everywhere I was, at store there's a problem with powder (0 to 200, not more) which is weird and I don't know if it's normal.

If we talk about colony, is there any option to manage colony? The only one thing I can do there is replacing governor and getting money.

Thank you, I did it.
Any changelog what was changed? To have new changes shall I start a new game or I can continue my save with some changes from latest patch?

Does it work if I take the latest update and do this for older versions? I haven't been updating for a few months.

Thank you, I coped with that but I have a question.

I installed Maelstrom a few months ago like here:
(9) Age of Pirates 2 COAS (GOF 2.8 Maelstrom/ERAS 2) Installations Tutorial - YouTube

If I want to install update, all I need is just to cope whole folder and replace as it was installed?

Is it possible to download update without payment? I paid once.

What's new and how to install it? Shall I start new game?

As I wrote, I found 30 gun frigate and now it appears more frequently since I have it.

But I did the same thing for surprise and no result.

I don't know if it works but I found it! And I found it once again in better version. It's kinda funny that it's hard to find it but when you did it and have it, there're lots of them. Like in GTA San Adreas when you found Turismo at last and there're a lot of them instantly.

FillShipParamShipyard(NPChar, SHIP_TARTANE, "ship1");

//#20190122-01

bool bAdd = false;

int nToAdd = SHIP_WAR_TARTANE;

iTest_ship = rand(17);

switch(iTest_ship) {

    case 1: bAdd = true; nToAdd = SHIP_WAR_TARTANE; break;

 ...

    case 17: bAdd = true; nToAdd = SHIP_BarcoCostero; break;

    case 18: bAdd = true; nToAdd = SHIP_30GunFrigate; break;

    }

    if(bAdd) FillShipParamShipyard(NPChar, nToAdd, "ship2");

    bAdd = false;

iTest_ship = rand(21);

switch(iTest_ship) {

case 1: bAdd = true; nToAdd = SHIP_LUGGERVML; break;

...

    case 22: bAdd = true; nToAdd = SHIP_30GunFrigate; break;

    }

    if(bAdd) FillShipParamShipyard(NPChar, nToAdd, "ship3");

    bAdd = false;

Will it be ok or something else?

That's a pity that these ships are not included, anyway I met it once and didn't save my game because of energy loss in half of my city... :/

Any idea how to meet this ship again? I wonder if it's possible to edit something to meet at shipyard, at battle, etc. 

Thanks, that works.

Any idea if it's possible to set on some ships which are not in use in game?

Any idea how to make it possible to but 30-gun-frigate? I only saw it once!

That's strange that I can buy 80-gun warships but this one can't find.

Hi.
I noticed that ships have different type of material which is use in sail (sometimes they're white,  gray-ish, etc).
What should I edit in some files to have only white sails in every  ship?

Sometimes, when I'm at shipyard and trying to change color of sail, they're white there but not that white I'd like to. 

If it's not undestable, I can show it.

Also, got some problems to find some ships at shipyard.

As an example, I have 36-gun-frigate but I met 30-gun-frigate which seems really cool but it's hard to find it at shipyard even if I can meet there 100-guns warships more often.

I've done English quest so can capture colony as Englishman. That means other countries can also do this.
After a long play with nation relations, Portugal has a war with every country and captured Cumana.

Cumana now is Portugal and it works. The only thing I noticed is soliders look probably the same as Spaniards.

Hi.

I've been playing with Eras II Mod for a few days but I'm not sure if I understood. Does Eras II contains all earlier upgrades like GOF 2.0?
I'm asking because I haven't met e.g. HMS Surprise which appeared in GOF 2.0 (that was the lastest I'd been playing before).

Or maybe should I install all of them and they work together?

How does it look like when the next update will be relased? Shall I start new game or can continue current profile?

Well, I did it and it works now as 64 bit so everything's good.

I noticed there's no Portugal colony, so I set F11, changed relations of nations and try by F2 to create a siege where Portugal will capture some colony.

It works with 32-bit, when I set 64-bit it doesn't.

I'll check if it'll work with 64.

Anyway, is there any Portugal colony?

Hello.

I've been not playing AoP for ages so I decided to install Maelstrom and ERAS 2 - not sure if I did well so I'd be proud if someone tells me if I did. I have some problems with textures - no water especially.

All photos are in one pack because they were too large:

AoP lack of water problem

That's how it looks.

Need some sugestions about installation and solving the problem.

I can even unistall it and install once again step by step but .pdf wasn't clear for me.

 Thanks!
