Last NKPreBuild13 version

I opened this topic for NK to post in here whiich is the latest version of his prebuild13 file, since in the new structured forum it´s easy to loose the topic where that was posted. Perhaps a mod could make it a sticky, so we´re all up to date with the latest development <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> ?
 
Currently the latest is NK_fleets_pre13_050502.zip but I'm going to try to make fleets toggleable--and the fleets code in that archive is /not/ really stable yet.
If you want the latest non-fleet (i.e. more stable) release, it's NK_b13pre_050422.zip and/or Screwface's merged version of that. But my code in it still has some bugs.

I should have the fixes merged backwards, and the fleets more stable (and preferably toggleable) today.

NB that that fleets archive does /not/ have Screwface's or CCC's latest. Pieter merged that in, and I'm merging my latest fleet stuff into what he sent.

So, um, it's all in flux.

Be sure to check that I actually merged all stuff in properly. Actually, I know I didn't, so be sure to keep an eye out for bugs and mistakes on my part!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
 
Heh. I'll check, but going by what I saw in the modpack it'll be fine. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
If you're also adding my CCC-merge this time, there is at least one point that certainly isn't done right. It's got something to do with dialog files being set to "" or something. I can't quite remember, but I'm certain I didn't do it right, because it was that particular part of code was both changed in one of your Pre 13's and CCC's files, so I didn't know what to make of it anymore. So I just added it both, probably causing my mute citizens problem with that particular codebase.
Might be less work for you to do a whole new merge... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
But I would like to keep my attempted on/off toggle for the location generator. Due to it's causing really weird things, I was wanting to have it being turned off somehow.

Won't that have the problems of the missing apothecary and the dialog problem with the tattoo artist in the opium den?
 
I believe those two are fixed here. I.e. Pieter used my code as a base to merge the other stuff into, and my code has those fixed (well, at least the apothecary; you were running pre13 and still had the tattoo problem).

Yep, you had it and I found it, see beta bugs.

It (opium_dialog.c) was just missing // before a comment.
The sound Gr_tattoo however still doesn't work.

Ya know, if it's not too complicated, you could post the character/trader inventory fix and I could use it to get back into Pre 13 ... maybe. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huhh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":eek:k" border="0" alt="huhh.gif" />
 
Yeah. Sorry about the delay. I didn't want to upload just that and then do a second for fixing fleets, and fixing fleets has snowballed.
For now you can grab the items_utilite.c in the fleets archive (050502) because that already has the fix.
Again, sorry for the delay, & stringing you out... :\
 
Ah, another thing. I'll kinda suddenly be away tomorrow and Friday, so I'm trying to get this done before I go to sleep so I can upload.
Again, sorry to be keeping you & anyone else I've been late in getting back to, waiting. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
{echo'd on fleets thread}
fleets050504.zip is the archive.
Note, fleets is still crashing. Dunno why.
Try uncommenting DeleteAttribute(&curfleet,"ships"); in sea.c and that should fix the crashing (but it turns off the persistence of the fleets).

But I can't do any more ATM, nor will I have a chance to be online until Saturday.

Cheers all. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Changelog:
Pieter, thanks again for the merging! Now this finally has the screwface and CCC code.
I added a random locs toggle in BuildSettingsCCC.h
Also, you will probably need Screwface's island pack if you don't have a recent version (because he has a couple updated binary files in it)
You'll also need Jack Rackham's new gun and cannon sounds (or turn them off via BS.h toggle).

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->*changed PGMUS to MUSICSCHEME, fixed handling. Now can add a string to end of music alias, and set MUSICSCHEME to that, and it will be handled (i.e. add a duplicate of music_alias's aliases as "music_XYZ_PGMUS", set MUSICSCHEME to "_PGMUS", and it will use that music).

This is the BETA of B13? So if I was to add my Animist quest fix it would be to this version of the Build, correct?

Did that, put it into Pre 13.
Game won't load.
COMPILE ERROR - file: ITEMS\items_utilite.c; line: 895
Invalid Expression

line in question-> string town = GetTownIDFromLocID(loc);

Soooo, I'll go back to PotcMods.zip to see how Pieter has made out.
 
Aw, darnit. Forgot that I changed town code for fleets. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
Argh, time for me to slow down and get this stuff _right_. :\

Sorry.
 
Thanks to Inez's speed work, I was able to implement the combat part of the fleets system, and up the number of fleets to 64 (well, 52 random).

If you want a demo, set FLEET_ALWAYSFIGHT to true, and every fleet will fight every other fleet.
Check the compile.log file for reports on fleet activity.
All fleet globals are centralized in worldmap_globals.c.

Now you will be notified of near fleets, and if they're in the same box, their flags. Also you may be force-reloaded to sea if the fleet is hostile.

Other big change was that I drastically sped up new game creation by redoing how the characters array is checked after init.

Changelog (plus other misc fixes):
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->* added FindBlankLocSlot()
* fixed longstanding bug where skipequip not actually used if weaponsmod active.
* Inez fixed fleet speed. Now use object array wdmBoxes[1600]
* Fixed fleet persist handling (I think)
* added float GetShipStrength() for abstract combat on wdmap.
* change Silehard's ship from mow1 to mow_gub
------------
* upped fleets to 64
* rewrote encounter finding to need one function and and use one big array.
* changed fleet chance to be from 1 to 10.
* moved postinit stuff from loop in char init to characters.c Character_PostInit().
* added characters\init\PostInit.c which does all post inits straight, rather than in loop. IF YOU INCREASE TOTAL_CHARACTERS YOU *MUST* UPDATE THIS!
* rewrote FindCharacterItemByGroup() to check char.items attribute, not page through items array.
* rewrote Fantom_GetShipType() some for speed, changed ship chance into 1-10 rather than an frnd() check on adding ship.
* added RandMult(float pct) returns multiplier of up to +/-pct
* added fleet combat to box update
* added sailho text
* added auto-reload if hostile fleet and speed better than us and luck check fail.
* added Pieter's gunsmith code, and his moving of all blacksmith funcs to items_utilite.c.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

File is fleets050511.zip on the FTP and requires the pre13 resources.
 
Oh, and stuff is now put back in the locker. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Great work, once again. It´s just so hard to keep up to date with new output - no critic meant by that, on the opposite. It´s great how productive this community is, and you, NK, especially <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
For myself, Aw, shucks. Thanks, it's <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" /> fun work though. :]
I agree with you in <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> 'ing the amazing modfolk 'round here though. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Another update, and once again I'll be out tomorrow and the weekend (though this time I -may- have net access).
Fleets stopping to layover in towns doesn't seem to be working _quite_ yet, and is disabled. Set FLEETS_STOP_AT_TOWNS in worldmap_globals.c to 1 to turn that on.

Also, fast equip code I don't have working quite yet, but I tried a different method.

Changelog:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->* fixed bug in GenerateGoodForTrade() where I was doing CheckAttribute(thing.) rather than thing,""). Thus ever my bane. Also, rewrote GenerateGoodForTrade() so it returns prices.
* rewrote trade quest generation so it takes distance and price difference into account when generating pay. Added two TRADEQUEST defines to BS.h for tweaking.
* added town distance handling functions GetTownDistance2D() and *ByID()
* back to twice a day fleet updates.
* add get town position funcs
* add fleet stopovers at towns
* messed with the bottom of LAi_fightparams.c<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
