    Le Corsaire Reshade for NH Maelstrom

    Dump 2: Tried something new! I always rename this model to the 'Jackdaw' everytime I capture one. Remove the ornamentation and you've got an excellent base model if someone wanted to do an edit. Now for a shore shot. A sure shot? Shoreshot? ShureShoreShote? The interiors can look really good...

    Le Corsaire Reshade for NH Maelstrom

    And here's copious amounts of screenshots: I may have edited my ShipsInit.c file to make everything have the potential to spawn, so here's my English Galleon having something unprintable done to it by a pirate Constitution-class. Note that the shot above has DOF applied which I turned off...

    Le Corsaire Reshade for NH Maelstrom

    Hey all, here's a Reshade preset I've hastily thrown together. I was originally going to title it 'The Masterful and Commanding' Reshade as the look reminds me of the film, but that's way too wordy. Instead, I went with 'Le Corsaire' because it's a piratey word in French and the game looks much...

    AI Upscaling Textures

    I should note that a lot of the folders in the Drive are currently empty and intended to be filled with the corresponding textures. The folder structure for when this is eventually ready for a zippable format has examples in the 'Ships' and 'Islands and Environments' folders as they're currently...

    AI Upscaling Textures

    Ahh, and this is unfortunately where it gets beyond me. I'm no texture artist by any stretch, I mainly just piddle around if it's something small I can fix. If I did this correctly, here's a link to the Drive: The PUP (Drive Link) I tentatively christen this project: The P.U.P. (Pirate...

    AI Upscaling Textures

    I am a madman. I am a fool. I have to be at work in four hours. But ladies, gents, and mateys, look what the upscaling does to the islands: Look how rocky those rocks look! I'm sleep deprived!

    AI Upscaling Textures

    Thank you, I'd take credit if it wasn't a literal robot that did it for me :) and I actually play on Maelstrom and know exactly what you mean about the improved rendering fidelity being a double-edged sword where textures are involved. In regards to your question, I think it would depend on...

    AI Upscaling Textures

    Update 2: I lied. Did one more test on a Caravela, the texture was 512 at the start and upscaled to 2k due to limitations with TXConverter (Should be noted that the resolution of the earlier test was also 2k, I didn't notice TXConverter automatically resizes images with a 2k cap for some reason...

    AI Upscaling Textures

    Did a quick first pass using an online upscaler on the first texture for the Fast Merchantman, here are the results: Pre-Upscale: Post-Upscale: Things to note: The difference in image quality isn't extremely noticeable, but this was a high-quality texture to begin with. If you zoom in very...

    AI Upscaling Textures

    So I was messing around in GIMP last night improving the down-and-out James Norrington texture to my taste (looks a bit less dead inside now) and an idea came to me when I used GIMP's antialiasing and image enhancement tools: Use AI upscaling to improve nearly every texture in the game. If you...

    Need Help Easy Way to Add Ambient Sound at Sea?

    Hey hey party pirates, I was wondering if someone could help me find out a way to add in a soft ambient track that would essentially always be playing when at sea, that ambient track would be crew sounds ported from Naval Action (you know, the little shouts, talking, etc. they do in that...

    [Solved] Freeze/Hard Lock When Dueling Enemy Captain

    UPDATE: Was 100% caused by me enabling Enhanced AI Combat and the FCoHS features from the globals.c file. As a PSA, I'm not sure if those work in the non-Maelstrom version or not, but they definitely cause issues in the current version of New Horizons for Maelstrom. Also I apologize but I can't...

    [Solved] Freeze/Hard Lock When Dueling Enemy Captain

    Also sorry if I spammed the uploads, my job taught me that it's better to be way too thorough than not thorough enough from the start.

    [Solved] Freeze/Hard Lock When Dueling Enemy Captain

    Hi all, First let me say I did delete my options file, which didn't help... I'm using what I think is the most recent version of the Build/NH mod (v14, 28th of Sept. 2021, I'll attach their Build Info.txt) available for the Maelstrom Engine (props to the crew that finally put that together, I...

    Need Help Sound Mod Issue?

    Hello everyone. I'm new here and I wanna say beforehand that I really admire the dedication to the game and mod you all have. It's not often that you'd see people turn a movie tie-in game from 2003 into one of the best pirate simulators on the market today, and I think that's wonderful. It's...
