    Fixed Cargo for Thomas o Reily

    Here you are. I have gone back and made another. The save is in the store after offering to pay Marc Blacque's ransom, but before telling O'Reilly about Blacque or Matton's delivery. An aside: Having told Matton that I'd taken his girl to San Juan, and given him the letter, he mentions 'other...

    Not a Bug Reconnoiter captured Speightstown city bug

    That makes sense! Recall that in the age of sail (and even today if you talk to sailors) a ship was recognised by the individual cut of topsails or mast arrangement as very few indeed were carbon copies of one another. So it's entirely reasonable that a fishing fleet would be able to report that...

    Fixed Cargo for Thomas o Reily

    Thank you for this. A real boon. A subsequent issue I've had with Mr O'Reilly has to do with the Blacque family. I met Marc Blacque and agreed to talk to O'Reilly about his ransom, but hadn't completed the Arnaud Matton quest beforehand as I'd just got back from Martinique. I tell O'Reilly that...

    Fixed Minor dialog errors

    Thank you both. I will happily admit that I was proffering suggestions with no knowledge of how those changes could be effected. I see that it is quite straightforward without any great programming knowledge. If I make significant changes, should I just upload the files here for subsequent...

    Not a Bug Reconnoiter captured Speightstown city bug

    Quite, I understand the idea and recalled the Land Ho! bit from some Build years ago. However, from the perspective of someone who last played Build those years ago, a line saying 'I must remember to hoist a French flag before approaching St Pierre!' at that point quite early in the game could...

    Fixed Minor dialog errors

    Call me too engrossed then! I found it jarring, and was just reporting on that. It's not the directions that are the problem, merely that they are not duplicated in the Quest Book, which just says to take her to her godmother on Puerto Rico. This is a fresh installation of the latest Build, so...

    Fixed Minor dialog errors

    Further dialogue errors I've just noticed: barmen referring to 'so and so is to be found on the second floor' when they mean the first floor. I realise Americans use first and second to mean ground and first, but the game uses the British spellings of 'Defence' and is set before the US existed...

    Not a Bug Reconnoiter captured Speightstown city bug

    I've done it again with my new game. I was able to moor at the port under a French flag and deal with Virgile Boon later. It seems this is quite an opaque part of the quest, especially so close to starting the game. Having been to Silehard the player is already a British agent and has a Letter...

    Fixed Cargo for Thomas o Reily

    I can confirm that the Thomas O'Reilly quest does not list in the quest book what the cargo is. As my purser sold one unit of silk to buy something I had some time trying to work out why Arnaud Matton wasn't letting me give him his cargo!

    Not a Bug Reconnoiter captured Speightstown city bug

    Thanks, Pieter. I tried the various console commands posted earlier but nothing happened. I then realised that I was playing the beta 'WIP' version from my last installation! I've now started a new game with the latest Build and executable from ModDB so I will see if the same problem occurs.

    Not a Bug Reconnoiter captured Speightstown city bug

    I've just come back to New Horizons and this is causing me trouble. Boon won't leave unless my ship's in port, but I can't go to the port because even with a French flag flying I get smashed by the fort. It's so long since I played the base game I can't remember how this used to work.

    Screenshots thread

    At dusk. the San Fiasco under Eustace Plums approaches an unknown island after escaping from pirates. With her cardboard guns and mutinous crew, despite the decision to grant a pint of rum a day, will Captain Plums ever leave alive?

    Solved Spyglass Aiming

    Thanks chaps. To clarify, I don't want the original cannon arcs, but wondered if anyone else found something funny with the crosshair behaviour. I enjoy the 'handspike 'n' wedge' of the period, being a devotee of the literature, so thanks Build team! The cross hair however feels like it...

    Solved Spyglass Aiming

    Sorry, that's what I meant! Not actually IN the spyglass view, but the targeting system. :facepalm It's that yellow/red crosshair that I'm talking about. When I first played the base game many years ago (I haven't played it in a long time since I've found New Horizons) I don't remember the...

    Solved Spyglass Aiming

    Ahoy all, My brother has got into Build 14.1, which has made me go back to it, after some time away doing that old 'educashun'... It's brilliant as ever, but I'm now getting frustrated with the spyglass and wondered if there was something the knowledgeable folks here could do about it. I like...

    Possible Bug: Tavern Brawl

    Presumably they wanted "a bit of the old Tom Thumb" a much as their officers! No log files I'm afraid as I woke up with a sore head in the inn's bedroom and continued. I think the seat I sat in must have been set as 'hostile' or something, as the crew didn't stop their bloodlust after everyone...

    Bug i just captured a ship and lost all sail controls

    I've had the same problem, but I associated it with the one on land where you get stuck and can't walk, which is also the "W" and "S" keys getting confused. For me, entering the character menu with F2, then exiting it again always makes the buttons respond, both on land and at sea, even when F12...

    Guide Tips & Tricks for Playing the Game

    As a native English speaker and decent writer, if there are files like this "tips and tricks", or dialogues that could use editing I can do my best to add some input, University permitting of course, if people point me in the right direction.

    Guide How to get a very good start

    Viz. the quick-saving issue, I've had the same and to fix it one needs to go to the "load" screen and load the profile you want to be associated with. Then the quick-save works fine. Something that may be linked is that my name changes every so often. I have Nathaniel set to "Nathaniel Hepburn"...

    Fixed Father Bernard Dialogue Error

    Even starting from the lighthouse, there were always five or six ships straight upwind from my two, and running that gauntlet of fire (one of which seemed to be a frigate each time too) to get to the escaping frigate usually meant a mast got left behind. :boom:
