    Questions from a Returning Player (New Horizons Mod)

    New Horizons Remastered has been abandoned - take a look at those downloads, they date back to 2017. The download for Beyond New Horizons is dated 2025, so it's also out of date. There's apparently a newer version somewhere but I don't know where. So out of those, New Horizons Refined Edition...

    Ships for the Archipelago in New Horizons.

    I'm in the process of trying to adapt the Mercury steam brig into Build 14. It's not necessary to lose "Brig3" to put the ship into the game. First, rename your new folder "RESOURCE\MODELS\Ships\Brig3" to something different - I'm using "Mercury", you can use something else if you prefer...

    WoodesRogers Quest part 2

    It seems that building items don't take any notice of alpha channels. So it doesn't matter which file "B_bigforest" uses, the leaves are always going to look like that. GM Viewer does obey alpha channels, which is why it shows the leaves nicely. It's also why some swords don't show up...

    WoodesRogers Quest part 2

    Could you show a screenshot showing the problem with "B_Bigforest" in the game? Also, if there are any flowers nearby, screenshot those as well. That's because "leafpalms.tga" has different versions in different subfolders of the "Textures\Locations" folder, and that's because "leafpalms.tga"...

    WoodesRogers Quest part 2

    Try this version first. It's the original texture with an alpha channel mask added. It therefore preserves the original tree trunk and boulder textures, which were changed in the later version seen in "Textures".

    WIP Improve Baldewyn Coffier & Arnaud/Sabine Matton Sidequests

    Using the "randitems" method of placing the stall had an interesting side effect. I'd made a new locator file containing the new "randitem" locator, which the port is set to use when Baldewyn gets his new store. More recently, I attacked Martinique and when I got to the port, the screen went...

    Comment créer, modéliser un nouveau personnage pour POTC? How to create and model a new character for PORC?

    Bonjour! :cheers To make the model, look at this: Retexture a Gm-model To put him into the game: Creating a new character model Beyond that, if you have more questions, ask them here. Try to make the AI show him from straight ahead, looking straight at you, with no lighting. The picture you...

    Mod Announcement Vanilla Game Enhanced - German (Deutsch)

    The authors originally planned to give you the choice to play as Nathaniel or Danielle. If you chose Danielle, you would have a different main story. They do not seem to have got very far with this and the only traces you will find are some unused text in some dialog files such as...

    Which Is The Newest New Horizons Version?

    Edit the file "engine.ini". Find these lines: full_screen = 1 ; 1 = Fullscreen mode, 0 - Windowed mode screen_x = 1024 ; Horizontal resolution screen_y = 768 ; Vertical resolutionIf 'full_screen' is set to 1, try setting it to 0, and set 'screen_x' and...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    I found a bug when testing what happens to Horatio Nelson when he gets promoted. At rank Vice Admiral, he has the first rate Victory and a companion in command of frigate Enterprise. But the ship names are wrong: That's because ship names are translated. 'TranslateString' starts by looking...

    Change starting ship for Nelson's "first command" free play.

    First, I'm not sure if what I'm about to say will work for you because I work with Build 14 New Horizons, not Refined Edition. It depends on how closely Refined Edition's gameplay follows Build 14's. That said: Nelson is a naval officer. Naval gameplay is a bit different. You get a new ship...

    WIP Improve Baldewyn Coffier & Arnaud/Sabine Matton Sidequests

    @Jack Rackham: have you any objection to me using "RESOURCE\Sounds\PEOPLE\pickaxe_box.wav" for the Baldewyn quest? I want to include a chest which can only be opened if you have a pickaxe, the pun being that you'll use it to 'pick' the lock. It seems you got there before me! While I was...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    Easily enough fixed, though it will only show up in a new game. In "PROGRAM\Locations\init\Conceicao.c", find the definition for "Smugglers_Tavern" and add this to the section for 'reload.l2':Locations[n].reload.l2.disable = 1; The cause is the section for 'reload.l3' in the definition for...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    The translation files in all languages will need a new line for "Secretary Tobias Knight". Otherwise changing the line to 'TranslateString("Secretary Tobias", "Knight")' will have no effect. If 'TranslateString' can't find a translation for the combined words then it will translate them...

    What is the difference in Russian between "knight" by itself and "knight" as in "German knight"?

    WIP Improve Baldewyn Coffier & Arnaud/Sabine Matton Sidequests

    Update: Marc Blacque can now be told to get a job as Arnaud's assistant, then tell you about the account book. Meanwhile, after Baldewyn Coffier has told you about the falling number of traders, you can tell him you want to help more but don't know how, which allows him to give you hints about...

    Thanks for that. I'll include that change in the next update. "Shuggy" and "Garry" are already in "RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\<various languages>\characters_names.txt".

    Sidequest characters as PC's

    I forgot to mention - there's a much simpler way of preventing player Will Turner from meeting sidequest Will Turner already in place. If you're playing as Will Turner, the sidequest is blocked. But apart from the obvious advantage of allowing player Will Turner to get this quest, the new code...

    Sidequest characters as PC's

    Done and tested. First, I ran a FreePlay as Will Turner. In San Juan tavern, I saw Claire Larrouse; in Tortuga (after using cheatmode to zap myself up to level 12), I saw Eduardo Villanueva and Captaine Chevalle: Then I did it all again, but this time as Claire Larrouse. So it was...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    Have you tested this? Try putting this into "console.c": for(i = 1; i<=7; i++) { Characters[GetCharacterIndex("Maltese_soldier" + i)].lastname = TranslateString("","Soldier"); } Assuming I haven't made a typo there, that should produce the on-screen message "Executed Console" - if it...
