Strange Log message when at Sea

[Talisman]

in Build 14 Beta 1 + fix

When sailing if I use F key to zoom out on compass interface - works ok but I also get log message on screen saying "You don't have any armour or an ammunition pouch to equip" --- This is true, but should only appear when I am on land.

 

[Captain Maggee]

Fairly easy to fix, just need to add an "if (!SeaActive)" to it

Done, and seems to work

 

[Pieter Boelen]

LOL! Very true. It's the same button and apparently I failed to include the check that Captain Maggee just did.

Of course this will be in Patch 1 and also will definantly require a new game (as its seadogs.c that was edited)

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Requires a new game? Actually, I don't believe it does.
Not every change in seadogs.c requires a new game to be started.
Just stuff that relies on correct intialization, basically.
But this is just a change in a regularly-called function.
Shouldn't even require a Reinit.

 

[Captain Maggee]

Wow! I didnt expect that from the main file used in game, however now that I think about it, it would need to be reinitilized all the time

 

[Pieter Boelen]

It's initialized every time you load the game, as well as pretty much all other files.
However, certain things are saved in your savegame. The entire ships, locations, items and models lists, I think.
Changes in those don't take effect until you start a new game, reinitialize or manually do it through console (if possible).
Interface files and dialog files are loaded each time the interface or dialog is loaded.
So you can test interface/dialog changes without even closing the game, just Alt-Tab in and out.
