some fixes

[morgan terror]

I reckoned i'd un-bork some of the dialogue i was seeing, since i was rather fed up with it. Also fixed some erroneous item discriptions, as well as some that i wasn't quite happy with after i changed them the first time. Fixed dialogue should be any dialogue you see with NPC's that you may meet when on land with crewmembers (not officers) for any given situation, both on the streets and in taverns, as well as slightly modified dialogue for the newest additions to the gambling games. I couldn't find the 'you has no money' line though, so that's still wrong. If anyone could find that, that would be nice. I'd also like to note that i was not always completely aware of the dialogue's context, so there might be some odd lines. Please point them out so i can fix them.

Once i've written down the trading info for islands i might go about fixing the trading rumors. Unless the goods that you can make a profit on consistently change throughout the game.

NOTE: this version has a bug. It's fixed in the attachement two posts down.

Okay, apparently the game no longer detects the dialogue file. This makes no sense, since it's still right there where i left it. Anyone else have this problem?

EDIT: Further research shows it's just the soldier patrols. I wonder why.

 

[morgan terror]

I found the problem. Please install this version of my repairs instead.

I've discovered that the game currently uses an outdated version of my personal character's texture. I would appreciate it if it was replaced in the next patch with the updated version below:

 

[morgan terror]

It seems to be working okay. I really do need more people to test those random encounters on land to make sure though, since i'm not going to encounter every possible reaction.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Thanks a lot! Great timing for the next Patch; I'll be compiling that over the next few days.

 

[morgan terror]

Yes, i was hoping you'd show up. Still can't say i fixed the dice game dialogue though. It seems to be part of a different file. In fact, there's one line of dialogue for i think patrols that's not located in the dialogue file at all. It's in the code for the dialogue. I didn't change it around though, merely modifed it.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Which dialogs are you still looking for? I can have a search as well.

You can change the text in the .c files as well if you want.

 

[morgan terror]

Well, i expected it to be in the Habitue.h file, since that contains the dialogue for the guys sitting at the tavern tables, but the dialogue that's actually in the dice game itself (and probably the card games too) isn't in there.

oh, and Hylie discovered you left free camera mode on in the internelsettings file. It's turned on by default in the build 14 beta 2.1 full download, which i installed.

It's in RESOURCE\INI\TEXTS\ENGLISH\interface_strings.txt:

NoGambleMoney{Hey! You has no money?! Come back, when you'll have some, or you must make a proper bet.}
NoGamblerMoney{Looks like you not so rich, don't you?! Well, we'll decrease a bet.}
GambleBetMin{Want to play on minimum bet? As you wish...}
FirstTimePlaying{Left mouse click on "Bet:" - to make bet. Left mouse click on box-icon - to abolish a bet. Left mouse click on cards - to begin a game. Left mouse click on portraits - to make each character move.}
FirstTimePlayingPoker{Left mouse click on "Bet:" - to make bet. Left mouse click on box-icon - to abolish a bet. Left mouse click on cards - to begin a game. Left mouse click on portraits - to make each character move. Left mouse click on any of your cards - to change this card.}

Indeed I did. Should be fixed for Beta 2.2 . Thanks for pointing it out again.

Does the text in front of the {} matter, or is it only the text inside them that needs modification if i want to change what's displayed in game? I've discovered some other things in that file that need changing, but they frequently have the same text in and out of the {}.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

You want to change only the text between the {} . If you change the text before it, it will cause errors because that's a reference to elsewhere in the game code.
Even if the first text has typos in it, just leave it with typos and then correct only the second version.

 

[morgan terror]

i reckoned it was something like that. Other things i changed were just overall improvement of text flow. Average items are called Mediocre now, since it fits better with the 'you found a' piece of text that you get whenever picking up items. Unless people really object to it, of course.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Not a bad idea, actually. Let's see how that plays out in the game.

 

[morgan terror]

I'd done some work on making that fit before, but there were just a few things i missed. This was one of them. You might notice that all items that can be picked up start with a consonant now.

Oh and just for the record, i thought i'd mention that i snuck an insult into the encounter dialogue which was so obscure that i though nobody would know what it was anyway. i wonder how long it'll take for someone to find it.

I remember that. Cheers.

 

[morgan terror]

Okay, the item quality name change didn't catch for any items in my inventory or a shopkeeper's. I'll try seeing if reïnitialising does anything, or if the name change did catch for cases where you pick items up. I'd still like all instances of average to be changed to mediocre for consistency's sake though.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Might indeed require Reinitialize or starting a new game.

 

[morgan terror]

Well, everything else is working. Should be good for inclusion.

i'd also like to state HOLY CRAP THAT SOLEIL ROYAL IS BIG.
