Good idea! Especially on the "remembering" part. :onya
Might I suggest the following code changes though:
Code: 
  // PURSEON -->
     if (frnd() < GetChanceDetectFalseFlag() || CheckAttribute(merch,"FalseFlagDetect")) // check if merchant already detected false flag on prior encounter
     { 
       rel = GetActualRMRelation(mNation);
       merch.FalseFlagDetect = true;
     }
     else // if not, use false flag for relation check
     {
    
       rel = GetFlagRMRelation(mNation);
     }
   // <--PURSEON
And also:
Code: 
   chance = iclamp(CHANCE_DETECT_FALSE_FLAG_MAX, CHANCE_DETECT_FALSE_FLAG_BASE, chance) // so chance doesn't go over min/max
Click to expand...

Thanks Pieter. I tested the first suggestion and it works great so we'll use that. The second suggestion using "iclamp" does not work, however, because iclamp is expecting an integer and chance is not, so it throws and error and fails to execute.

I sugest removing the caught parameter after you bought another outfit ;).

I think that getting recognized goes beyond just outfit, and also includes ship in port since the merchant has to deliver goods there. I also wanted to make it harder to repeatedly attempt to fool him as that is unrealistic (unless you're Superman and you carry that amazing Clark Kent glasses disguise with you). But your comment did get me thinking. I can add a variable to account for the time since last recognized, i.e. a "forget" logic, and clothing and ship changes could be factored into the chance to forget.

I also plan to add logic for a chance he will actually call for guards when he recognizes you, instead of just his idle threat. So attempting to fool him will have an element of risk, especially at lower levels.
 
Good work.
Please make it a function which returns a true or false statement so we can also implement this at other places, for example tavern owners, smuggelers and guards etc.
 
I have re-installed now my game keeps getting minimized involuntarily.:facepalm

For example the First Mate now contributes 100% of her Leadership skill to the overall ship stats + 50% of her Mêlée skill and 50% of her Sailing skill.

Fencing is a personal skill; it is never shared.

Changed the timescale (time speed up) to x1, x3, x5, x10 and x20.

Extra 5x step, eh?

There are two new multipliers to add more customizability to the experience system. At the current rate characters gain twice the experience compared to vanilla:

#define SKILL_EXPERIENCE_MULTIPLIER 1.0
// FLOAT - Must be a float higher than 0.0 - default is 1.0 - the rate at which the characters gain skill experience: For a 30% increase set to 1.3

#define EXPERIENCE_MULTIPLIER 2.0
// FLOAT - Must be a float higher than 0.0 - default is 1.0 - the rate at which the characters gain experience: For a 30% increase set to 1.3
Click to expand...
That is different from this, right?
Code: 
#define SKILLS_UP_BONUS       25         // From 10 to 99 - speed of player's skills-increase

Sure, I can do a function like that. I should also mention that this works at shipyards by default already. Adding it to guards and tavern owners would be cool. I think I'd prefer to keep smugglers out of it since they are all about profit, not politics and such not. What I would like to see are smugglers that occasionally try to cheat you or kill you. It would add to the risk factor of smuggling.

I believe the dialog of the smuggles now also takes in account your rank and reputation. so we should just delete that then.
 
Pieter could you maybe provide a new WIP version again? I dont think I have all the fixes atm....
 
Ok Great,

I made a little update for the worldmap encounters and I'll hope you include the dialog thingy also :) I've used it quite a lot today and I can't find any bugs so I think its working perfectly :).
 
Please use these files instead the ones elrapido provided. I fixed the problem he had.
I need to look into it a bit more but this will at least solve the problem of bar fights (tought I fixed it already) and the sittings guards also sometimes wanna play a game with you :).
