    Roxanne's sword

    Try this. For a quick test, enable cheatmode by editing "InternalSettings.h", start a FreePlay as Roxanne (should start as a French corsair by default), then press numeric keypad 9 at least 3 times.

    WIP Improve Baldewyn Coffier & Arnaud/Sabine Matton Sidequests

    Some of the framework to get the governor's support is done. As for Thomas, there's another Arnaud/Thomas sidequest which is initiated by dialog with Arnaud - or would be, except that there's currently no way to trigger the relevant part. You're supposed to deliver some chocolate to Thomas...

    Roxanne's sword

    @Bartolomeu o Portugues: In the "Bartolomeu" storyline, Roxanne Lalliere is a French privateer equipped with a special sword, "Deadly Skull". How about setting up an exception in the part of "NK.c" which gives swords as promotion rewards, so that if you're playing Roxanne as a French privateer...

    An overwhelmed newbie

    Build 14 (the mod for the original game) and Build 15 (alias Beyond New Horizons) are both completely free. New Horizons: Refined Edition asks for payment but there's an option to download without paying. So, disc space permitting, you can try out all three and see for yourself. You can even...

    WIP Improve Baldewyn Coffier & Arnaud/Sabine Matton Sidequests

    I've been doing a bit of work on this. And I started just where you'd expect me to start - at the end. :D I've written some code for Baldewyn Coffier to take over the store, except that he doesn't really - as previously suggested, character "Arnaud Matton" becomes a clone of Baldewyn Coffier...

    Unconfirmed Bug Soldiers not being reinforced

    Does anyone know why this was added to function 'SoldierReinforcements' in "PROGRAM\CCCFunctions.c"? if (sti(GetAttribute(refCharacter, "quest.guard_protection")) < 1) { if (GetAttribute(PChar , "vcskip") == true)...

    WIP Improve Baldewyn Coffier & Arnaud/Sabine Matton Sidequests

    @pedrwyth: Are you interested in continuing this? For that matter, have you any new material already written which you'd like to upload? Otherwise, would you like me to try continuing the quest, taking into account what you've said above?

    No one under 30 has ever seen Master and Commander

    The article makes some interesting points about 30 year olds, but saying that no one under 30 has ever seen it is a bit suspect. The film is sometimes shown here on TV channels, and even if hordes of folks under 30 aren't posting about it on social media, it would be surprising if none of them...

    German Translation

    The translation line in "common.ini" is:;string = RansomString4,"Reputation hit is as yet unimplemented. Got annoying."The part before the comma is the key text somewhere in game code. But the semicolon at the start of the line means that it has been commented out - that is, the semicolon marks...

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

    Discussion Some game play questions

    Yes, that would do it. Changing the player interface from F2 to F1 meant that the main menu no longer had a key. Setting the main menu to Esc meant that quitting a quick-action menu no longer had a key. And I can't see a setting for a key to cancel the quick-action menu, which means you can't...

    Need Help Updating the Russian Translation

    Could you also please translate these? Both translations to go into "PROGRAM\Storyline\FreePlay\DIALOGS\RUSSIAN".

    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...
