    Unconfirmed Bug Game crashed and wiped the last ~20 save files + now all saves "incompatible"

    There is some confusion here. Your "compile.log" says at the start: Then, when you tried to load a savegame: Those are attempts to load saves from a 2022 installation. Such files are not compatible with the 2026 installation. Also, look in the top level of the game installation for a file...

    Discussion Some game play questions

    I tried it myself and confirmed that Esc does get out of the quick-action menu. Or, if I've chosen one of the keys, I can press Esc to return to the menu and again to leave it entirely. Changing the player interface from F2 to F1 is unwise unless you can also change the main menu from F1 to...

    Unconfirmed Bug Game crashed and wiped the last ~20 save files + now all saves "incompatible"

    That "compile.log" shows that you have installed the update. It will indeed not recognise games saved from the January 2022 version. One of the changes in the update involves an important system variable, which means it does indeed crash when you save a game, which is why the version number...

    German Translation

    The first file you should translate is "RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\ENGLISH\common.ini". Begin your translation by creating folder "RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\GERMAN" (or whatever other name you prefer for the subfolder) and put your translation of "common.ini" in there. The game looks for each language's...

    Have you tried Esc? Otherwise, I'm not sure off-hand.

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    If it is to be added, please correct it to "You've received a new item". ;) It's in "PROGRAM\INTERFACE\items.c", line 3531.

    German Translation

    The reason there is no German translation is that nobody has volunteered to do the translating! Be warned that it's a big project - both the Russian and Spanish translations are still in progress, not least because new material such as dialogs and descriptions of new objects continue to be...

    Bartolomeo o Portugues - Quest not triggering

    For one thing, you're using the so-called "final" version which is missing four years' worth of updates, including bug-fixes for the "Bartolomeu" storyline - one of which, if I remember correctly, is for this problem. You can bring your game up to date but it will mean you'll need to start the...

    Bartolomeo o Portugues - Quest not triggering

    If you have a saved game from before you sailed to Jamaica, could you do all that again? Then post "compile.log", "system.log", and "error.log" if it exists. The first two and possibly the third will be in the top level of the game installation - not in subfolders "PROGRAM" or "RESOURCE".

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    @AkrimalS: another line added to "interface_strings.txt", a couple of lines added to the end of "PROGRAM\DIALOGS\ENGLISH\France Trader_dialog.h" so that Jean Maginot can remind you about missing cargo for a delivery quest while he's using the file for the "Night Craft" quest, and several files...

    Mod Release Build 14 Gamma Version [Last update: 20th May 2026]

    Thanks - I've got the files.

    Upgrading Virginie d'Espivant

    If Sabine Matton becomes an officer, she gets a shipboard outfit. Virginie d'Espivant should too. But I'd set her to use the newly imported "BaynesDaughter" model (see the thread Need Help - dark ab). Transferring the face texture from "BaynesDaughter" to an officer model didn't go too well...

    Upgrading Virginie d'Espivant

    Virginie d'Espivant is about to become a lot more interesting. What started out as a bugfix has spiralled out of control. The bug and fix are detailed here: Fix in Progress - Passenger problems Summary: Bug: if "A Girl Won in a Card Game" is completed at a certain point in "Tales of a Sea...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    Would you object to me commenting out the 'logit' command in the version in the update? Not delete, just comment out, so even if the file then overwrites your copy, you can easily uncomment the command again. I've done the same myself, though I prefer 'traceandlog' to 'logit' because that puts...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    @Jack Rackham: none of us are being paid for this! So don't burn yourself out - do as much as you want, when you want to do it, and take it easy. Perhaps replace 'Logit' with 'trace' to send the text to the log file rather than the screen? If you like, I can make the change so that's one less...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    If I remember correctly, @BathtubPirate had to deal with a similar issue in the cave on Aruba in his "Devlin Opera" rewrite. So there are two models, complete with locator and lighting files, in "RESOURCE\MODELS\Locations\Inside\CavernMedium2". "cavernMedium2" is the normal version with all...

    Solved Updating the Interface Textures

    Running a comparison check between the Build 14 and Build 15 versions of "character.c", there are a lot of differences but none of them are coordinates. Apart from some lines which differ in nothing apart from formatting, the real differences are in the way they handle the character name (Build...

    Solved Updating the Interface Textures

    If I understand correctly, the separator was previously lowered by changing coordinates in "character.c", which causes trouble in other versions of NH. The new fix puts the coordinates back where they were and lowers the separator in the font texture. But the new texture also makes the...

    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 store, and Virginie was last seen...
