it seems the important calculations happen here:
here the csr is determined
Code:
csr = GetCrewShareRatio(pchar);
float NormalExpLength = NORMAL_EXP_LENGTH * EXP_LENGTH_START_FRAC; // 180 * 0.5
if (explength > NormalExpLength)
{
csr = csr * (2 * NormalExpLength / explength) - 1.0; // 90 days=100, 120 days=50, 150 days=20
}
Then the norm_moral is determined which is sort of the morale of your crew just basic.
It seems csr is getting lower with the longer your journey. with a 90 day journey it seems to be 2-1/100 while with a 150 journey its 2-1/20
so its somewhere between 2 and 1. CSR_SCALE is defined in the internal settings to be 45
Code:
if(csr > 1) csr = 2-(1/csr);
if(articles) { norm_morale = (100 - (CSR_SCALE*2))/2 + csr * CSR_SCALE; }
else { norm_morale = norm_morale * SALARY_SCALE; }
so that would make norm_morale = (100 - (45*2))/2 + 1.99 * 45 = 5 + 89.55 = 94.55 with a 90 day journey
or norm_morale = (100 - (45*2))/2 + 1.95 * 45 = 5 + 87.75 = 92.75 with a 90 day journey
So the csr doesn't make that much of a difference here it seems
so I think to make the lenght of the day weight in more we should look at this line:
cause this curve is wrong I think. the curve for the csr is slight bend as stated by this: 90 days=100, 120 days=50, 150 days=20
the csr starts to drop after the normalexplenght is exceeded (90 days in this case) and then goes down from 100 to a lower number.
I think the csr in the last code block should also go from 2 to 0 instead of 1.9 so it actually makes a difference. so that would mean it should be something like this:
altough that might be to linear so you could make it:
Code:
csr = 2-((10-sqrt(csr))/5)
to have a nicer curve.
Could someone change this in DailyCrewUpdate and see if it works out better?
in the document you can find this row
Code:
//trace("DailyCrewUpdate: old morale = " + pchar.Ship.Crew.Morale + ", norm_morale = " + norm_morale + ", moralemod = " + moralemod + ", moralech = " + moralech + ", new morale = " + morale);
remove the // in front to get some good data to the log files.
.
, so I'm going to look into that now.
I don't know whether this is an intended result of the code plus how long I've been at sea, but the crew share is now negative!
Otherwise I'm going to have to put the old version of the file back, head to Port Royale where I know there's a loanshark, then reinstate the new version of the file and finally actually pay the crew!
