Well those logs tell me nothing…those NPC trace node not found errors aren’t usually fatal. Just a character that no longer exists trying to be found. But we might be able to figure this out without the .dmp file yet. If these are crashes while loading a save, upload and give me a link to the save. I can run that in debug-mode while loading…[Read more]

Good to hear.

I’m sure MK won’t mind any raving about models and texture, here or elsewhere in the forum 🙂

As for those screwed up model names in the log, though they aren’t contributing to any malfunction I see, don’t be concerned about mentioning them; they are now driving me crazy.

I found exactly in the source where that message is output,…[Read more]

Mr. Philanthropist, as a preliminary check to see if the world map geometry fails were possibly related to the string expansion that I certainly fixed (beggar donations, moneylender and new game profile name typing were all similarly broken, and I ascertained they are now fixed), I sailed for a month on the world map, accosting as many ships as I…[Read more]

Oh no, as sad as it is to admit, that keyboard character problem is my doing. I found it was the result of an inadvertent change I had made quite some time ago. I have fixed that.

Let’s see if that is also the culprit for some…[Read more]

I’m assuming that is only in DirectX 9 version? I made no changes to the shaders in DirectX 8, because it wasn’t necessary, so I’m presuming they still look the same there?

For DX9, I undoubtedly made a mistake, but that’s because I really don’t know what I’m doing in DirectX shaders. I made changes in order to, at minimum, get past the shader…[Read more]

Seriously beautiful work @Orazio! I’ll work to get that incorporated into my downloads. I’m anxious to go find a ship to board so I can check them out firsthand 🙂

Hi Jeffrey, I’ve been back a couple days but got real sick after the trip – so have mostly been in bed. Saw you tried to call me. You are doing incredible things my friend! I have been writing a ton of new stuff and will be updating everything on the site the next couple days with new stories, articles and discoveries.

Call anytime tomorrow and…[Read more]

Scratch that…this is Peter Blood…in the beginning. I don’t know how our char got 90 days, but since this is right at the start of the game, I just found a function that will set that character attribute to current, so I just call that in the function that launches this part of the Blood quest.

Solved.

Got the Peter Blood thing figured out…but not sure what we want to do about it. I need a conversation with MK for some input about what we might want.

Turns out not an error, per se, but too much information….too many heroes, and too many days in the ‘quest past days’ and a function starts to iterate all the heroes, for every day past, to…[Read more]

Bad news…my son just discovered that the Peter Blood prison scene is broken in Windows 8. I confirmed on my other son’s Win 8 machine and it turns out, it’s the video. In fact, I had disabled the opening videos in all my games and if reenabled, all video displays are broken in Win 8. It works in XP, Win7, but not Win8.

I redid all the videos…[Read more]

Hahaha! This is a riot!

Running under our source:

Disregard POTC resource request…I’ve a source and am on it.

I might be close to blowing some minds. Anyone have the entire POTC resource files I can have? I don’t have that game.

There were some changes (and will undoubtedly need more after the main menu) to the New Horizons 14 Program/.c files to load the game. Using our compiled source, I have now gotten it to run all the way to the main menu without…[Read more]

I had forgotten that at one time, I had made this game load thing ‘smarter’ in the sense that for every game load, it would compare the array sizes and resize if needed, so no game-save crashes like we were just dealing with. Now that we have identified random items as missing, I added those to that feature. Also, I discovered that I never…[Read more]

The RandItems array, set at RANDITEMS_QUANTITY (249 places by the way), is the array space set aside where all the items that can be randomly encountered (weapons, books, armor, etc. that you might find on a body or in a chest). A function goes through and randomly selects out of that array. It was one number too short at 248, but there is a…[Read more]
