Questions on Build13Full

[Brenda]

Due to the extreme kindness of one of the members here, I now have Build 13 Update 1 & 2. However, I do have a couple questions, so please indulge me.

1) I found in the InternalSetting where you can change the number of Skill Points earned per rank increase. Where I can change the number of Ability Points (FreePoints) earned per rank?

2) Is there a way to move just single coins from one place to another?

3) And, I was wondering what the item code is for the various types of armor?

Thanks everyone for your understanding. I am just to tired and too blonde to do a search right now.

I hope to be able to install B13U3 this coming weekend. Though there are things I don't like, but what game doesn't have it's drawbacks, I really love the new stuff- muskets, armor, better swords, dead albatross. And, I like not having to use the disk to play.

 

[morgan terror]

wait, why do you have update 1 and 2?

Well, a kind and generous soul here sent it to me.

I think what Morgan means is that updates 1 & 2 are in the full Mod 13, so why would you have separate updates 1 & 2. Only update 3 is separate.

I am not familier with the code for the game so I cannot answer any of your code questions.

Regarding moving money, you can only move it in amounts of 100 dollars, not single dollars.

Hope I have helped.

 

[morgan terror]

yes, you don't need those two. you only need update 3, which you can get from pieter's site.

 

[Brenda]

Sorry morgan, I misunderstood what you were asking. As for Update3, I should be getting it here soon; again due to the kindness of others.

However, I was still wondering what the item code is for muskets, Bosun's Choice cutlass and the various types of armor? I would like to add them to my inventory when I start a new game. (Yeah, I know it is cheating, but then aren't most mods? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> )

Check PROGRAM\ITEMS\initItems.c. All item ID's you need can be found there.

Found them. Thank you, Pieter. Perhaps you know if there is a way to increase the number of Ability Points (perks.-) earned per rank. It is at 1 and I would like to get 3 per rank. I found in Internal Settings where to increase the number of Skill Points (skill.-) per rank, but I could not find anything regarding Abilities (perks.-).

I kind of wish the part concerning Skills, Abilities, Experience and Rank had been left as in the stock game. That way, players could "fine tune" their starting stats in a number of different ways; not just rank and money.

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />  you can change settings in Programs/Characters/Character_init.c
used to be one in the English folder to fiddle with in the Banna version, which is still there but useless!

 

[morgan terror]

why don't you just change the skillmode back to the old one in the buildsettings?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I think I found it. PROGRAM\Characters\CharacterUtility.c:<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->        if(CheckAttribute(_refCharacter,"perks.FreePoints"))
        {    _refCharacter.perks.FreePoints = sti(_refCharacter.perks.FreePoints) + 1;
        }
        else
        {    _refCharacter.perks.FreePoints = 1;
        }<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->Change "+ 1" into "+ 2" or whatever you want. You could also make this an InternalSettings.h setting, if you like.

The characters_init.c file in the PROGRAMS\Characters\English folder is not used. The characters_init.c file in the PROGRAM\Characters folder IS used though.

 

[Brenda]

Thanks Pieter, that was it. The code in the characters.init file appeared to indicate the values had been to correspond to character rank (ch.rank). So, it was just a matter of finding where those defines were at. Didn't even think of Utilities. Thank you again. You and morgan have been a great help to me and very patient with my many questions.

EDIT: Oh, I just got B13U3 and B14 with the latest updates. I was wondering if I have to change all the settings back to default or will the updates just overwrite them?
(See, I can't seem to stop asking questions- someone stop me before I question again. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/slap.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":slap" border="0" alt="slap.gif" /> )

 

[morgan terror]

yes, you need to reconfigure the buildsettings and internalsettings.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

All settings will be reset to default. You can change them to your liking again afterwards.

 

[morgan terror]

yes, that's what i said. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
