Opening post ZIP updated

I spent a lot of time and effort today, getting one of the big items on my To-Do List ready for the public release.
Specifically, I have redone a lot of code related to buy/sell prices for shipyards, item traders and merchants.
This is to bring some more logic into it and link it to the various play styles we now have.

You can find that and several other improvements now in a ZIP attached to the opening post.
New game not enforced. Most of this should take effect on a savegame just fine. :yes

This is the complete list of changes:

- Fixes to quest characters tavern seating by @pedrwyth
- Fixed reloading in fightmode with a musket not charged could mean firing from shoulder mode in the next location by @Jack Rackham

- Correction for Strange Character Types for random NPCs
- Delete Smuggling Coastguard ships upon escaping to worldmap
- Remove potential huge relation hit when caught smuggling ashore

Corrections to Ship Upgrade Prices (seemed to be double in some spots):
- GetCostTun modified to differentiate between buy and sell prices
- ApplyTun modified to exclude pricing (is always handled outside that function)

Ship's Log Updated:
- Include ships sunk by your companions
- Include note about the flag you were flying for the attack
- Include note on whether it was considered a legal attack or not

Improved Privateer/Navy Officer effect on prices modified:
. If shipyard functionality AND in the service of a nation, bypass skill check
. If NOT shipyard functionality, but in the service of a nation, bypass skill check and pay 50% commission (store)

Improved Merchant License Functionality:
- If NOT shipyard functionality and having a Merchant License, bypass skill check (overrides the above)
- Lose Merchant License on first unrespectable act after initial warning
- If receiving that warning and you have a Merchant License, you'll get an extra warning about it

- Governor and WIC Officer dialogs update to reflect the above

Redone Shipyard Buy/Sell Prices:
- Pirated/Captured status for ships set depending on nation relations and flags (this matches with the notes about this in the Ship's Log)
- Rename "Sell" button to indicate how the ship was acquired

- Redone "sell multiplier" for different ways you acquired a ship
- Apply this "sell multiplier" to ship upgrades and cannons as well

- Removed double effect from privateer/navy gameplay on ship sale price
- Removed double skill modifier for ship upgrades from shipyard buy/sell prices
- Getting back money from selling a ship upgrade is handled inside the function itself (no longer double)
 
@Pieter Boelen . I think you forgot to update the date to
I think I actually got it right this time. My signature indicates the 25th, which is today.
And the opening post has the applicable ZIP attached. I didn't change the date next to the EXE link, because I didn't update it. ;)
 
Opening post ZIP updated

Some more corrections:
- Skill items given to player at game start take immediate effect
- Jack Sparrow "Animists/Sao Feng" fixed so you can complete it by capturing the Crimson Blood
- Malcolm Hatcher opening dialog updated by @pedrwyth
- Item transfer should correctly update skills of player AND character being transferred with
- Always at least one soldier in the taverns
- SetCharacterToNearLocatorFromMe made more forgiving so that it will work on ship decks too
- Relation Book added to player ship chest if you follow the tutorial

Some more corrections:
- Typo fix to prevent buying ships for 0 gold (and plenty error.log entries to go with it)
- Quick and dirty "fix" for that really nasty "ship encounter CTDs because of dead captains" problem

EDIT: File replaced with a better one.

@Pieter Boelen Just played a couple of minutes looks like everything works! :yes
Check your main game folder. Probably error.log contains quite a terrifying amount of entries. :shock

I think I managed to create a better and cleaner fix; see the opening post.
Hopefully this is the last I have to do about this because I've really had enough of this crap. :ko
 
Ah. Nearly missed it . :facepalm You're back to doing updates by zip file rather than by altering the new, smaller installer.

It got a bit bigger again and if I'm updating 2-3 files on a daily basis, it is hardly worth it to redo the EXE. :facepalm

Once we're actually ready to release Beta 4 to the public, I may redo the whole "Content Archive" one more time so that there is NO old code lying around anymore.
 
im just going to post my error compile and system to see if you guys find any errors or bugs im playing the standard story line and haven't ran in to any bugs that ive that i can see.
