A few questions about the new horizons mod

[kira1000]

ahoy there, I would like to know if it is possible to change the font of the quest log as I find it very hard to understand the text to see what to do next. I would also like to know if it is possible to do the original storyline with the mods added by the pack. never got to try it before installing since there were too many issues without it in my opinion. finally, what happened to the wiki on this site? it gives me a kwallace@localhost error and password yes when trying to get more info about the periods mod etc (click on more information to see what I mean). thanks

The original storyline is still there. It has had many side quests added to it making for a much larger world. Also, the game does not end when the Sea Hawk quest is finished so one can continue in free play.

I do not know where to change the font on the quest log. It is highly stylized.

Ayup, the Wiki does seem to be down again. Well, just come here for any questions you may have.

that is a relief, was not sure if the nathaniel hawk storyline was the correct one. Are the extra stories meant to be there? in the documentation it says only 4 custom but there are nine (woodes, assassin, bartolemu, the 2 devlin ones, master and commander, hoist the colours, tales of a chevalier and horatio hornblower). If anyone does figure out how to change the quest log font can they please post here. I know it may seem readable to most but i have a hard time reading the highly stylized text but I manage anyway, great mod

those 9 storylines are meant to be there and each one is unique in their own way- try doing them all one at a time- I reccomend the Woodes Roger one last seems more confusing and tricky than the others, but try them all so you can get a taste of different adventures! I have not a clue how to change the font- I guess its meant to really look realistic like how they really wrote back thaen and the style.

Some of the quests are actually free play and not real quests. The two Devlin, Chevalier, and Master and Commander stories are free play with little or no storyline.

The Assassin, Bartolomeu, Hoist the Colors, Horatio Hornblower, and Woodes Rogers are full stories.

Some of the links in the articles still go to the old wiki (piratewiki.net), which has been closed down by Keith (our main admin).
The intention is to rebuild it on the new forum wiki, but not many people have worked on it yet, so there are still many missing articles.

The documentation only has such a 'low' number of storylines because there are only a few that are largely finished and offer a lot of gameplay:
- Tales of a Sea Hawk (original game's story) - Not counter because it's not new
- Assassin
- Bartolomeu o Portugues
- Hoist the Colours (Jack Sparrow)
- Horatio Hornblower
- Woodes Rogers

The other storylines don't have much new content.

The font for the questbook is defined in RESOURCE\INI\INTERFACES\QuestBook.ini, if I recall.

I always wondered if there could be a customizable storyline where you wouldn't be any specific character e.g Jack Sparrow and where you could interact with famous characters from the period you selected. Is anything like that possible?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Maybe we can get the unfinished Customize Character interface working in the game some time. I've still got the files.

good news, I figured out how to modify the font type. I changed it to INTERFACE_ULTRASMALL, now I just need to increase the size by modifying the fontscale and I am set. BTW, it is not in interfaces but in NEW_INTERFACES. thanks

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Ah, of course. NEW_INTERFACES is for the brown interface, INTERFACES for the blue one.
