If someone please could move the new zip link to the first post to avoid confusion.

But not my "Ardent" fixes?
A few fixes

Nor any of my other updates and fixes which I posted in the "Build Beta and Brainstorming" section?

Dropbox wants me to register and won't let me download the file unless I do.

 

[Jack Rackham]

Well, I might have missed more than that as I very lately decided to make a new zip.

If you want to help this is the situation:
I have managed to upload on the ftp, under JRH. But when I try making a link I only get an error "403" message. No access or whatever...
So if you would make a link to the ftp instead that would be better for sure. And possibly add Ardent update too if you want.

New zip on dropbox instead

Dropbox says that I need an account to access the page.

Maybe it has to do with privacy settings on the file?

Try this:

I did try it just now, and it worked for me.

I was going to post about it, but you did it first.

 

[Jack Rackham]

Thanks for that @GreyRoger.

When I try to make a link I don't get bowengames etc but something else.
I have a note about this being changed 2016. But that is obviously not the case?

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

By the way, I made a small mod last week that is not in the archive from what I can see.

Mod Release - Charles de Maure, TEHO player character

Well, I might have missed more than that as I very lately decided to make a new zip.

I started getting worried that fixes people post in "random" forum threads might end up getting lost to Davy Jones' Locker.
So that's why I asked Jack to add some of them to his archive.

I was pretty sure eventually you would return to post your own stuff in a ZIP.
It was mainly the other stuff that concerned me.

 

[Grey Roger]

I have been collecting all the new stuff in preparation for my full return...

Thanks very much! Really glad to hear that.

Hi I am new here. Just need a bit clarification on how to install the latest extra fix archives. So I only need copy over PROGRAM and RESOURCE folders, correct? Other files and folders such as Documentations and MODULES can be ignored, correct?

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

I would just copy them all just to be sure.

I mean there must be a reason they are included.

I see. Another question. I am trying to change some of the key commands. However, I cannot assign "W" and "S" keys to anything. I always gets "the key is already in use". But I looked everywhere, I don't see "W" or "S" assigned anywhere.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

"W" is used for moving forwards, and opening your sails.
"S" is used for moving backwards, and closing your sails.

You can assign different buttons for this use if you go to "Options"->"Controls"->"Change Current Settings"->"Primary Land"

Though you won't be using "WASD" to move any more.

Also welcome aboard!

I did that in "Primary Land". I changed "WASD" to "EDSF" layout. "W" is supposed to be freed up, but I still cannot assign it anywhere else.

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

Maybe you should also look at the "World Map" at the controls settings.

If that doesn't work you can manually edit the "options" file.

I saw there is modding tutorial pdf in the documents folder. There is a section about making key commands options show up. However the text is not clear on which file(s) to write those codes. Any tips on that?

"Documentation" really doesn't do anything.
But MODULES most certainly does.

Not sure what the tutorials PDF mentions, but it could be a bit outdated.
My recommendation: Edit PROGRAM\CONTROLS\DefaultControls.h with Notepad, then Set Controls to Default in the game.
That allows you full flexibility in how you want your key layout.
