    Simplified Code for Build 14 Beta 3.3

    Righto! Thanks. I hope there'll still be a use for the very amusing books!

    Simplified Code for Build 14 Beta 3.3

    What's the deal with multiple points required for certain abilities? I thought that was what was "turned off" in this version. Am I thinking of the wrong thing? For me it's still two points for "Advanced Defence" for instance.

    Possible Bug: Tavern Brawl

    Playing 3.3, I just entered the tavern starting a new game. I refused to buy a cup of rum from a man and a brawl started. My crew killed everyone, then stood there at the ready with the battle music playing. A seated man wanted to play cards, obviously the roll of the dice of fate that had left...

    Fixed Father Bernard Dialogue Error

    Guess what... I went back to 3.2 to test with my old saves...then realised I'd lost them from the clipboard when the installation finished! Sigh. Anyway, I tried both but couldn't sink the frigate because I had two tier 5 ships and got smashed every time. New game time...

    Fixed Father Bernard Dialogue Error

    Alas, there were continued crashes no matter what I did when I had to encounter the frigate leaving Bridgetown with the idol, so I overwrote everything with the 3.3 in the hope it would let me continue with the save, but no dice! I hadn't got that far before. :( Oh well, to continue with the...

    World Map/Sea Time Correlation?

    Thanks! A good read. It's sobering to think how little progress there had been in seaworthiness since the Roman period, when there was a 50% chance a winter sail would end in disaster!

    World Map/Sea Time Correlation?

    That's about the right period for not being very good sailors then! I didn't know about the powder issue, but I understand the English guns weren't powerful enough for the Spanish planking. The story goes too that the Dons couldn't depress their guns far enough to aim properly! Their sea-keeping...

    World Map/Sea Time Correlation?

    As far as I'm aware, the Spanish were not very good at making seaworthy vessels, the galleons being a case in point. Unwieldy, top-heavy and useless in anything but a decent wind astern. I don't think they'd progressed much from the Armada days, when the lack of manoeuvrability was fatal against...

    World Map/Sea Time Correlation?

    Have you got any sails?! :pirateraft In my current xebec I'm making 8+ knots in force 5s, which seems about right. I assume 4 knots for passage-making in smaller boats, so with the trades and larger vessels greater values should be commensurate. 250 miles a day in the roaring forties was not...

    World Map/Sea Time Correlation?

    Thanks for the clarification chaps. I'll have a look at it later and see if with "open sea" it makes more sense! I've been working up to 'iron man' since re-installing. As I've never actually finished the main quest (rather like my experience with S.T.A.L.K.E.R., where fiddling with mods means...

    World Map/Sea Time Correlation?

    I've not seen this mentioned anywhere, but it is a bit confusing when the time on the world map advances so fast, and has no link to the time taken to sail anywhere on the 'sea' view. If I come to an island in the world map, finding the harbor can take a day, but if I go to the sea view and...

    Fixed Father Bernard Dialogue Error

    Mea culpa. I thought it was an installation .exe rather than a decompression. I've transferred the dialogue and will see what happens. Thanks for all the excellent work - who'd have thought we'd still be playing the same old game? Well, it isn't of course... ;) Edit: It worked! Hurrah! Now it...

    Fixed Father Bernard Dialogue Error

    But that seems to require a new game, or at least you recommend that Pieter. Is there something I can do to the file in order to let me progress as-is?
  14. Mafeking Smalls

    Fixed Father Bernard Dialogue Error

    Is that the thing to extract on top of 3.2 to remove the new features? I haven't found any problems thus far except this dialogue glitch - boardings and the things that used to cause issues now seem fine to me. I haven't had a CTD while boarding, and very few otherwise. Perhaps only when the...

    Fixed Father Bernard Dialogue Error

    Beta 3.2. When was 3.3 released? I only installed this a couple of weeks ago!

    Fixed Father Bernard Dialogue Error

    Ahoy, My file looks like the "corrected" one here (with the "itest" bit included) but Father Bernard still has no option for me to tell him the letters were forged, and the conversation ends. All is well in the Quest Book. As an aside, the first entry in the QB has Nathaniel ruminating that...

    Ship Swap/Sale Issue

    Wowee. I have now worked around it by berthing all ships then relaunching them with one in slot 1. The same thing has just happened, with a capsize. No problem selling my ship either time, although I did get a warning that I couldn't berth my ship while my companions still had ships. I was...

    Ship Swap/Sale Issue

    Ahoy, I fought and captured a couple of ships, got damaged and eventually sank in a twister. My crew, hearty souls that they are, managed to launch a lifeboat in the teeth of the storm and my little fleet made harbour. I thought I'd change ships with an officer and sell the jolly tartane...

    two glitches

    This may be my poor memory (I haven't played New Horizons for some time, coming back to it only a couple of days ago!) but where is the time found? My game only has the date at the top of the screen, with the time coming up only when loading/unloading causes the log to report what happened. By...
