Mod Release Build 14 Beta 4 Internal WIP For Testing

Status
Not open for further replies.
Save At Sea is a mod added feature (the original game didn't have that functionality at all), but it doesn't work 100% correctly.
Specifically, sail state and cannon reload status can't seem to be saved and loaded again.
That is why saving is deliberately disabled while close to enemy ships.
 
In order to save a game during sea combat one must sail over 500 yards away and then save. But when the game is restarted all ships have full sails again.
 
Huh. All these new features look pretty interesting. I hope I will find some time to play this next week. And I suppose I should update that guide I wrote some time ago; it's about time.

hello there ! been visiting here once in a while and I installed the latest build to give it a try. I like to play with full realism except the real island distances and I've come up to something that annoys me quite a bit. That is that AI ships are spamming or at least using the anchor "pirates of the Caribbean style" turning ability which quite breaks immersion and is also unfair (and ugly ^^). I've "played" around abit with internalsettings but can't find anything to change that.

tldr : I want to play iron man mode without real distances, maybe allow me to put in world map (for bays I can't find), and not allow that unrealistic ability. how to do that?

cheers!
 
@anchoret: Did you install also the zip from the opening post in this thread?
I posted one yesterday that should solve the ships spinning.

For your realism request, switch to Realistic Game Mode, then open PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h with Notepad and change the options at the top.

I didn't notice that :/ There's much work to play this one.. i had the issue with windows 10 with the low fps, the solution was in this forum though ( installed riva tuner to lock fps or something) ;maybe put that tip in the install-download post if it isn't there already. Great work to say again with the mod, I try the new ones or watch videos (CoAH-GOF, TEHO) and can't put up with way the ships turn or how the cannons work thus I always come back to new horizons even though it might not have some new features.

My experience is smooth till now and enjoyable. I like the news at the tavern and how they give you quests for free play :keith. if I had to give something more it would be how much I remember the cannon salvo , when you have reached cannons skill 10, to focus at one tight point; like the concentration of shots when they hit seemed to compressed? . maybe too much and that's it fn. :bounce:type1

I should probably update my signature.... Last version I posted was 13 March 2016.
You need the 14 Feb 2016 EXE from opening post AND the 13 March 2016 ZIP as well.

If you have the CAB file already, you can safely get the new stuff.
If you DON'T have the CAB file already, you may want to wait until the beginning of next week.
The intention is to have a brand new version available for testing by then.
