Progress Continued with Beta 4 Base
With all the latest improvements to the installation process, character skills and nation relations, we are getting really very close to the next public release.
We have also passed the "Beta 3.5" stage by now as there have just been so many changes and improvements these past few months.
Therefore all further progress will be continued with the new file posted here:
http://www.piratesahoy.net/threads/build-14-beta-4-internal-wip-for-testing.25696/
Most important changes made in this latest release:
- Completely redone installation process; this IS compatible with the version from the opening post of this thread though
- Skills System updated by
@Levis to the point where it should be properly playable now; TO BE TESTED!
- Nations Relations seem to be working based on what I hear on the forum, so I have moved on to the next step.
All on-screen testing messages have been disabled and most of the log messages are deleted as well.
- "Relations Book" is now added to the game to explain all the changes made to the system and how this affects the player.
This REQUIRED FEEDBACK so we can do the final FINE-TUNING on this.
- The flag detection chance is now properly dynamic again so we have moved past the 100% chance stage!
I have removed the difficulty factor from the equation so that everyone has the same values as this is TO BE BALANCED!
- The entire Beta 3.5 section in "Build Info.txt" has been split into a Beta 4 and Beta 3.5 part to prevent confusion.
It has also been cleaned up and rewritten in preparation for the public release.
I would appreciate any COMMENTS anyone might have on this.
