Not my biggest mod but:
I have added an icon for Gunsmiths. And one for doctors (only quest locations now) but it's available.

Is that for the Fast Travel menu?

There are 1-2 gunsmiths in the Caribbean for whom it could be used.
And the Doctor one could be applied to the Bridgetown Apothecary. :onya
 
It's for the reload locator. Guess something additional is needed for fast travel.
This is a quest thing and I thought it could be of common use as well.

I could
1) fix fast travel
2) make sure the apothecary will use the Icon too.
 
Here is this small mod:

Apothecary in Greenford: medicine icon
Con_blacksmith: gunsmith icon
Turks blacksmith who also is a gunsmith: pistol + blade icon

All 3 now have fast reload which is tested and works.

That's awesome, @Jack Rackham! :bow

Just to be sure, this is an overview of the "gunsmiths" in the game:
- Turks: Gun- and Blacksmith
- Conceicao: Gunsmith
- Nevis: Gun- and Blacksmith IF player joined the Pirates

I think you already figured that out correctly, right?
(Apologies if I'm being stupid here; my brain is not cooperating today.... :oops: )
 
HA! In PROGRAM\QUESTS\quests_common.c find:
Code: 
       //Levis: Change the Nevis blacksmith to gunsmith -->
       Characters[GetCharacterIndex("QC_blacksmith")].Dialog.Filename = "Gunsmith_dialog.c";
       Characters[GetCharacterIndex("QC_blacksmith")].Dialog.Filename.Groupdialog = "Gunsmith_fetch.c";
       aref store; makearef(store, Stores[PIRATES_STORE]);
       DeleteAttribute(store,"blacksmith");
       store.gunsmith = "Arne Saknussem";
       //Levis: Change the Nevis blacksmith to gunsmith <--
Replace it with:
Code: 
       // JRH&Levis: Change the Nevis blacksmith to gunsmith -->
       Locations[FindLocation("QC_town_exit")].reload.l6.go = "QC_Gunsmith";
       Locations[FindLocation("QC_blacksmith")].id.label = "Pirate Gun- and Blacksmith";
       Locations[FindLocation("QC_blacksmith")].id = "QC_Gunsmith";
       Characters[GetCharacterIndex("QC_blacksmith")].Location = "QC_Gunsmith";
   
       // Modify the Fast Travel icon
       aref curTable;
       makearef(curTable,objFastReloadTable.table.QC);
       curTable.l6.pic = FRP_GUNBLACKSMITH;
       curTable.l6.tex = FRT_GUNBLACKSMITH;
       curTable.l6.note = FRN_GUNBLACKSMITH;
       curTable.l6.location = "QC_Gunsmith";
       
       // Give him the alternate dialog
       Characters[GetCharacterIndex("QC_blacksmith")].Dialog.Filename = "Gunsmith_dialog.c";
       
       // And enable the correct fetch quests
       Characters[GetCharacterIndex("QC_blacksmith")].Dialog.Filename.Groupdialog = "Gunsmith_fetch.c";
       aref store; makearef(store, Stores[PIRATES_STORE]);
       DeleteAttribute(store,"blacksmith");
       store.gunsmith = "Arne Saknussem";
       // JRH&Levis: Change the Nevis blacksmith to gunsmith <--
That makes the icons change too! :cheeky

Anyway, I tested both Jack's original work and my additional suggestion and both seem to work fine.

Now I'm wondering if any other locations could use a similar update.
The Opium Den springs to mind.... :wp

Hmm I missed the Nevis one, thanks Pieter.

Easy to miss. It only changes at the time when you join the pirates (as a bonus to pirate players).
So it requires changing it "on the fly" instead of in the usual way.
I even had to change the location ID, which is normally not a very good idea.... :wp

On a related subject, is it right that this section of code is in your GoldBug QuestsLocations.c file?
Code: 
   Locations[n].reload.l6.name = "reload4";
   Locations[n].reload.l6.go = "QC_blacksmith";
   Locations[n].reload.l6.emerge = "reload1";
   Locations[n].reload.l6.close_for_night = 1;

Ok I'll take the Opium Dens on.

Cool, thanks! Now that it has much more gameplay use, that should help to make players more aware that it exists. :onya

@Grey Roger, @Mere_Mortal, @Talisman, @ANSEL and @Jason: Can you think of any other locations that could use Fast Travel?
 
Jack Rackham said:
No, I don't find those line in there.

Really? I see it here:
Code: 
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Locations[n].filespath.models = "locations\Outside\Jungle_QC";
   Locations[n].id = "Legrands_backyard";
   locations[n].id.label = "Legrands backyard";
   Locations[n].image = "GB_Legrands_backyard.tga";
   //Town sack
   Locations[n].townsack = "Quebradas Costillas"; // KK

   [...]

   Locations[n].reload.l5.name = "Reload3_back";
   Locations[n].reload.l5.go = "Fort_Moultrie_exit";
   Locations[n].reload.l5.emerge = "reload1";
   Locations[n].reload.l5.autoreload = "1";
   Locations[n].reload.l5.label = "Jungle.";
   Locations[n].locators_radius.reload.Reload3_back = 2.0;

   Locations[n].reload.l6.name = "reload4";
   Locations[n].reload.l6.go = "QC_blacksmith";
   Locations[n].reload.l6.emerge = "reload1";
   Locations[n].reload.l6.close_for_night = 1;

   Locations[n].locators_radius.randitem.randitem1 = 0.01;
   Locations[n].items.randitem1 = "pirate_house";

I accidentally noticed that because when changing the ID of the location, I had to double-check if there are any more references to it that also needed to be changed.
 
I have no idea if anywhere is missing any fast locations, I think I spend too much time at sea to ever really notice.
 
I found it now. Something went wrong with the search function.
Those lines have absolutely no meaning as there is no blacksmith in Legrands backyard.
Just never deleted.

I tried to replace those lines. It gives me this runtime error. Have I done it wrong?

Actually, you did it perfectly right. The only differences with my own version are some minor things with indentation.
But you need to install @Jack Rackham's files from post #5 first. My change relies on his work. :doff

Sea is, of course, the best place to be. :cheeky

Hey, that rhymes! :cheers

Looking at the code, that reload may actually have worked in your storyline to teleport the player to Nevis!
I'll remove it for the next update. :doff
 
I found these "opium dens":

Redmond , "den". OK.

"PaP_Brothel_room" and "Tortuga_Brothel_room" have additional brothel rooms and name "Opium Den" so
they are "dens". But no opium action what I can see so maybe fast reload is unnecessary?

Eleuthera, "Alice_Brothel_room": empty, no other brothel rooms, name "Alice Town Brothel. Loading = "Opium Den".
Is it a brothel or a den?

Only Redmond has a real opium den. All those other ones must be a mistake

Would there be any point in having Fast Travel to the Maltese Knight Abbey?
Might make it more obvious to players that it exists.
