    Increase Horizontal mouse sensitivity on player character, not just in menus.

    Thanks for the tips and spoiler tag is good to know, i have been running in Windowed mode (which was fine in BNH re turning of the player character). I've also been trying out a few others value changes in files as i find things that might work, but no clear solution yet. I'll give fullscreen a...

    Increase Horizontal mouse sensitivity on player character, not just in menus.

    I'm trying out Grok to see if it can help as per in this link: https://grok.com/chat/646fc46c-44d9-429b-b934-0078833912c0 The note about editing engine.ini is wrong (maybe from an earlier build?) and it is in the "options" file now, those mouse_x_sensitivity settings, near the end of the file...

    Increase Horizontal mouse sensitivity on player character, not just in menus.

    Slightly odd request this one. I've just been playing BNH over the last couple of days having been away from PotC and the BuildMod for a few years, and while i saw some steps forward (having an open source engine to run from is great!) i also saw the conversion process from where the BuildMod...

    Need Help The speed of ships

    :shrug Well not sure what happened, i could have had a duff install (the DirectX9 file did not install correctly the first time, which did lead to my first in-game crashes) but overall in my short 12 hours or so playing BNH I could see in general some regressions to where the BuildMod 14 had...

    Need Help The speed of ships

    Sorry, too late Grey Roger - I've moved on back to BuildMod14 (just need to track down my PotC cd's!). I had noticed a number of entries in "error.log" over the last couple days, and also lots of errors in Systems.log as well, missing textures, missing dialogue.txt files etc. BNH was working...

    Need Help The speed of ships

    Well the Ships_init.c file is back exactly as default in terms of the small value changes i made, and still no starting ship appears? Very odd. As i did not create a full back up of the download the only option might be a full re-download to get a running game back? Anyway i'll move on and have...

    Need Help The speed of ships

    OK new advice, DO NOT edit any of the files as it seems to break the game! In Ships_init.c you have various entries for: shipstatsmult.n.SpeedRate = XX.XX - where most entries are like 2.00 depending on the nationality of the ship etc. I simply changed those by doubling the current numbers and...

    Need Help The speed of ships

    Q: Which files in the mod New Horizons Build 14 control speed of ships under sail? https://grok.com/chat/95d5cc53-e433-4e1b-94b7-e0a6fb5f1bc5 In the Pirates of the Caribbean: New Horizons mod Build 14, the speed of ships under sail is primarily controlled by configuration files that define...

    Need Help The speed of ships

    As Skyworm mentioned, he had lots of hands on with New Horizons Build 14 and they were faster compared to BNH today, he also mentioned having high sailing skills (and mine at game start leaving Barbados is 5 due to a decent Navigator i picked up). My experience is earlier in the BuildMod than...

    Need Help Only small compass everytime

    Just having had a look through the game settings (Preferences) there was a setting if you played in Arcade mode you only had a simple compass, or something like that?

    CTD during sea battle

    Looks like my DIrectX 9 did not install correctly, Running BNH on Windows 10 laptop and just did a reinstall of that "DX9 Runtime(2010)" file and so far (touch wood) no repeat of the CTD. Just a note for others when running that program, make a folder wherever you want to put it and call it...

    Need Help The speed of ships

    As an aside, I had my sailing experience on my step fathers Oysterman 22 back in the day. Much smaller boat than the Lugger's in this game, less sail etc, but just looking at the Luggers rigging style it was not far off what that traditional Oyster fishing ship had, and while not a fast ship...

    CTD during sea battle

    Exceptions.log: "(root exception) The instruction at 0xp referenced memory at 0xp. The memory could not be s. magic=0x0 (classified -1)" Just that. I did notice A LOT of errors in System.log, stuff like this: [2025-05-18 12:20:54.163] [system] [warning] WARNING! Strings file...

    I can't sail after the start

    Not tried the Free Game mode yet. If you have not fixed this yet, try the default game start (change nothing on starting up the game) and follow the story line and see if it works better for you. This is still the most polished version of the mod so a good test to be sure your install is working...

    Need Help Store's Weapon Quantity

    Realism Settings: Interface Trader Item Availability. That will show many more things to buy, but heed the advice as it can mess up game balance a little, depending on how you use it. Not sure about specific quantity, but you will find many more purchase options, and with visit's to all the...
