    B14 troubles

    So here is at least one account of everything working properly - including with Windows 10 and Intel graphics. Thank you for your reply, @AkrimalS!

    B14 troubles

    @CoastGuard71 Licensing has been a part of Windows since at least Windows 95. Activation being tied to the computer's hardware has been a part of Windows since Windows XP. These are not new things. It is expected behavior if Windows asks for reactivation when used on hardware that is too...

    B14 troubles

    Since I was messaged privately with one of the same posts in this thread I'm replying to @CoastGuard71 here. I am not actively involved in the Build Mod development and do not know about the changed code. It seems that no one else has the problems you're having. Across your various threads and...

    Unfortunately not. A lot of things have been changed around in the Build Mod and I don't know where that officer code has been placed. :shrug

    B14 troubles

    As I said someone else would have to reply about the officers since I don't know anything about that. Strange about the sea.dll file. I did not change any DLL files in the prepackaged ZIP files that I uploaded. I just used the installer, the contents archive, and the update ZIP file. I think...

    B14 troubles

    From your previous post I got the impression that something wasn't working with AISea.c and I thus included a clean version of that file so that you can use that if needed. Simply take the worldmap_encgen.c and AIShip.c files and put them in the corresponding directories, replacing the version...

    B14 troubles

    AISea.c should not be changed. Here is a ZIP file with worldmap_encgen.c and AIShip.c where storms and falling masts are disabled, and also a clean AISea.c. I did a quick test and it seems to work. DVD-R should be used, not DVD+R, but you can test with one of those if you want. An ordinary 4.7...

    B14 troubles

    I have familiarity with some of the code because I have done tweaks to the code of the unmodded game and some of that is also applicable to the Build Mod. For the falling masts code, it might be easier to just put return 0; just above int iDamageType = GetEventData();. It doesn't matter if...

    B14 troubles

    For disabling storms, find this in PROGRAM\WorldMap\worldmap_encgen.c: void wdmStormGen(float dltTime, float playerShipX, float playerShipZ, float playerShipAY) { ref mc = GetMainCharacter(); bool encoff = false; if(GetAttribute(mc,"worldmapencountersoff") == 1) return...

    BNH B15 Issues

    Can hope things get better after a reinstall, then! :onya No idea whatsoever. Most of my contributions to the Build Mod were before that time and I haven't kept up with just about any changes to the modpack.

    BNH B15 Issues

    I haven't seen that happen before, but if full_screen = 0 is set, you should be able to Alt-Tab and close any other windows without the engine stopping - no Ctrl-Alt-Delete should be necessary. Not sure why it would happen with B15 but not with B14, but if the pop-ups come from installed...

    BNH B15 Issues

    I'm using Windows 7 on this computer for the time being because of compatibility with older software for some projects that can't be migrated just yet. When they're finished I will have to move to Windows 10 or 11 for compatibility with newer software. It will be a bother to configure it to...

    BNH B15 Issues

    This is what I have in engine.ini: full_screen = 0 screen_x = 1920 screen_y = 1080 I obviously also have other lines there but they are not important for this example. With this I get fullscreen at my display resolution of 1920 x 1080 with ability to Alt-Tab - in the original game as well as all...

    BNH B15 Issues

    I've never found Windows error logs to be useful as their contents only seem to have use for Microsoft. I've also never had problems with it, but some supposedly have. In engine.ini you can change screen_x and screen_y to set your resolution. Setting it to your desktop resolution and leaving...

    B14 troubles

    Indeed it doesn't make sense that it doesn't work if the only change is a newer version, but at the same time most players don't seem to have these problems. I for instance can't recreate these issues as both B14 and B15 ran fine for me. I've never used "optimizers" and "boosters" on any of my...

    BNH B15 Issues

    From having conversed with Hammie on several occasions I highly doubt that he would hinder modding of Build 15 in any way. My testing of that version is described in my latest post in the other thread. I downloaded it from here: Beyond New Horizons by Hammie I downloaded...

    B14 troubles

    As I don't play any Build Mod version I cannot provide detailed experiences, but from what I've heard no one else seems to have these particular problems. I just did a quick test myself with both Build 14 and Build 15, both on an internal SSD. I haven't tried running them from an external USB...

    B14 troubles

    I personally prefer to have an offline, local account. An online account potentially connects your activity to Microsoft and even if you don't do anything questionable I don't think others should have any information about what you do with your computer. I would try to install with an offline...

    B14 troubles

    Unfortunately I don't know of any cloning software that could suit your needs, but I would prefer to do a clean install anyway. This would involve secure erase of the SSD with the manufacturer's software tool on a bootable USB flash drive. For example with Samsung SSDs, use their "Magician...
