    Need Help Returning to New Horizons after a long time, some general questions.

    Looking at the code, if you have a LoM (Letter of Marque) then pirates will only trade with you if you're not hostile to them. Go to Turks Island or Tortuga and talk to the governor - even if they're not actual pirate colonies (Tortuga is normally French, Grand Turk is British in the later two...

    Fix in Progress Passenger problems

    During a recent play through "Tales of a Sea Hawk", I had Marc Blacque and Virginie d'Espivant as passengers. The problem was that they shouldn't have been passengers because I'd completed both quests - I hadn't hired Marc so he should have been in St. Pierre story, and Virginie was last seen...

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 29th January 2026]

    And Nevis? Not doubting that it's an improvement, just wondering what I should be looking for.

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 29th January 2026]

    @Jack Rackham: what has changed in Tortuga and in Nevis Pirate Settlement? In "PROGRAM\animals.c: if(CheckAttribute(Pchar,"skiprats") && Pchar.skiprats == "yes") { } else { if(crtAnimals) {...

    Need Help Music alias processing is done in code now

    It would probably be better to convert them to .ogg format. Then put them into a separate folder inside "RESOURCE\Sounds\MUSIC", e.g. "RESOURCE\Sounds\MUSIC\Nita". After that, have a look at "PROGRAM\sound\ALIAS\music_option_DaisyMusic.c". That sets up aliases for various soundtracks to be...

    Once again, @Jack Rackham, you show yourself to be the master of models. :bow

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 29th January 2026]

    Thanks, @Jack Rackham and @AkrimalS! :cheers I'll wait until @AkrimalS has finished playing through "Woodes Rogers" before releasing an update because I imagine there will be some more fixes coming soon.

    carribean sloop (hoy)

    Are these ships scratch-built or from kits? I know there are kits of wooden sailing ships, though I've never tried one myself.

    Need Help dark ab

    That's "priest.gm". I tried adding gun locators but it didn't work. That is, the gun appeared to work but for some reason the sword was then messed up, even though I didn't touch the sword locators and they still seemed to be where they should be. Nevertheless, in game, the sword was slightly...

    Need Help dark ab

    This should have all the files needed to put both models into your game. In addition, "PROGRAM\Characters\init\CommonQuest.c" changes the model used by Virginie d'Espivant, whom you'll meet if you play the Girl Won in a Card Game sidequest; previously one of the many characters using the old...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    If Google Translate is to be believed, "Береговой Брат" translates as "Coastal Brother" and "Лидер" translates as "Leader". Perhaps leave "Leading" translated as "Лидер", change the translation of "Coastbrother" to "Береговой Брат", and then you don't need to have a separate "CoastbrotherM"?

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    I don't think that's quite right. According to Google Translate, "Лидер Берегового Братства" translates to "Leader of the Coastal Brotherhood". It should be "Leading Coastal Brother". You've already translated "Leading" and "Coastbrother" in "RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\RUSSIAN\characters_names.txt"...

    Need Help dark ab

    Both models work in PoTC. "BaynesDaughter_ab" is the original, with your version renamed to "DarkerDaughter_ab". I've assigned "BaynesDaughter_ab" to England for no reason other than that "towngirl1" is assigned to France. And "DarkerDaughter_ab" is assigned to Spain. "Witchgirl" is assigned...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    What is wrong with the translations for other monks? In "1774616531602.png" I see two words, presumably your translation for "Coastbrother". In "1774616516675.png" I see the same two words with another in front, which I guess to be the translation for "Leading".

    Need Help dark ab

    Changing the models in "nation_init.c" will change the boarders you'll see on a warship. Mostly that will be someone else's warship boarding you! You'll only change your boarding party that way if you play as a naval officer, which is one of the backgrounds you can choose in FreePlay, or you...

    Need Help dark ab

    I should be able to do that. First order of business: rename both the model and the texture file, then a quick hex-edit on the model to use the texture file. Because if I'm doing this, I'm having both the original and the darker version. The timing is perfect. There's a model from the stock...

    Discussion Dead Man's Chest

    A lot has changed since 2011! For one thing, there's now a whole new version of the game: Beyond New Horizons by Hammie It's still a work in progress. But then, to some extent, so is Build 14. You can get the latest version of that from here: Mod Release - Build 14 Gamma Version [Last...

    There's also a "MODULES\sea.dll" included in Build 14. Try that one.

    Capture flying your personal flag.

    It is intentional. You must be flying a flag for a nation from which you have a LoM, and which is hostile to the target, for a capture to be legal. But it's not new to the 29th January version; the changes in the law of the sea were introduced in the update of 5th November 2025.

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 29th January 2026]

    Time for a lesson in flag identification! This is your personal flag: It is a white cross on a blue background. It is the St. Andrews cross and it is the flag of Scotland. This is not your personal flag: It is a white cross on a blue background. It is the Burgundy cross and it is the...
