Opening post EXE updated
NEW GAME ENFORCED again. Sorry guys, I had no choice.
Our To-Do list for Beta 4 has gotten decidedly smaller with this update!
Many loose ends have been tied up and a lot of recently found bugs have also immediately been dealt with.
There has even been some progress on an annoying long-standing one again!
Long story short: A lot has been done, but the Build Testing List | PiratesAhoy! is getting bigger and bigger.
So testing is more important than ever. I cannot say it often enough: Comment on EVERYTHING THERE THAT YOU POSSIBLY CAN!
We need any and all feedback so that we can find out which items have been dealt with properly and which ones still need further work.
And in case you DO want to know the full story, here are all the changes now included:
- NPC captain type determined through same function as player/companion captain type by @Levis
- Inactive officers gain more XP by @Levis
- Officer prices change as appropriate by @Levis
- Skills and perks should match up even if Auto Skill System is OFF by @Levis

- Treat quest characters the same as regular characters, only auto-adjust their level by @Levis
- Smuggling enabled on Eleuthera and Turks by @Jack Rackham
- Turks has "smuggling nation PIRATE" in the Golden Age of Piracy, all other periods get smuggled goods as intended by me
- Reduced error.log entries upon saving by @Levis

- Opium can be used by @Levis
- Chance at smuggling coastguard ships reduced by @Levis
- Claire Larrousse sidequest further fixed by @pedrwyth

- Letter of Marque cost now depends on relations to that nation by me

- Animists sidequest error log entry fixed by me
- Smuggler Agent "paying for relation" closes the dialog and therefore updates correctly by me
