Included in Build Making Better Use of Special Locations

[Pieter Boelen]

I think the HP increase is permanent. It gives you an HP Bonus just like the Apothecary does.

 

[Red Back Dude]

no wonder i was a god among men after i spent 4 hours going through that place killing the things.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

You took plenty of potions with you down there, I imagine?

 

[Red Back Dude]

My character would have looked like a mummy from all the bandages.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

We should do what we can for this on Build 14 still, though advanced changes to this could wait for Build 15.

 

[Levis]

At least for this build I've included a few rumours about the new locations so people can check them out:

[Levis]

as a side project I'm now working on:
- indian trader
- Opium Den
- Library in turks

You will notice things here soon so after an update check them out to see if you can do more there now.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Saw you were working on the Library. Nice!
Can you check that it doesn't interfere with its single use in the Jack Sparrow storyline, though? Not using the same locator twice or so?

I have noticed that the apothecary location (the library I think) sometimes
gets a strange bright lighting. As if there was no COL files. Tried to make new COL files for it
but with the same result. Something is corrupt.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I made COL files for that location a few years back, but noticed they were still wrong in Beta 3.2. So I redid them again for Beta 3.4 which are now included in the modpack.

When the location was originally made, the modders didn't know how to make COL files.
So with the "it's not a bug, it's a feature" mindset, Alan Smithee made mention of the brightness of the location in the Apothecary's dialog.
To maintain that original idea, I did make the "day" COL file a bit brighter than would ordinarily be the case for interior locations.
But still less bright than it was without them working at all.

Did you know about:
- The Bridgetown Apothecary

Used in fetchquest now.

- The Bridgetown Maltese Knight Abbey

Used for the gun quest

- The Turks Library

Will be used very soon

- The Port Royal Opium Den

used for opium smuggling

- The Port Royal and Bridgetown EITC Offices
- The Willemstad WIC Company Office

Used to get trader papers

- The Oranjestad Indian Trader in the port area (location present, functionality not yet)

Used to get ayahuasca

- IDEA: Put a copy of Vanderdecken's Cabin in the Ship Cave on Cozumel

Also d0ne right?

So I think we got this all covered now .

Really? Since when?

- The Oranjestad Indian Trader in the port area (location present, functionality not yet)

Used to get ayahuasca

Still needs to sell regular Indian Items, but there is a separate feature request for that one.

- IDEA: Put a copy of Vanderdecken's Cabin in the Ship Cave on Cozumel

Also d0ne right?

Nope, not yet done at all. But may also not be needed until we actually DO something with such a location.

@Pieter Boelen i believe I've added the apothecary a while back already, it's even in the change log I believe .

I remmeber you wanted to do that, but can't remember if it was indeed done. Could you double-check?

 

[Levis]

I did remember putting it in but just checked and it isn't in yet. So will add that very soon.

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I think he would have a group dialog assigned if that feature was already done:

  //Steven Mather-Wren in Apothecary, by Alan_Smithee
   ch.old.name = "Steven";
   ch.old.lastname = "Mather-Wren";
   ch.name    = TranslateString("","Steven");
   ch.lastname    = TranslateString("","Mather-Wren");
   ch.id     = "Apothecary";
   ch.model   = "apothecary";
   ch.sex = "man";
   ch.sound_type = "male_citizen";
   ch.location   = "apothecary";
   ch.location.group = "sit";
   ch.location.locator = "sit1";
   ch.Dialog.Filename = "apothecary_dialog.c";
   ch.greeting = "Gr_Oxbay Citizen";

Still a good idea though. That might encourage players to actually visit the apothecary once in a while.
Actually, that could play into these new perks you added:

  ChrPerksList.list.ImprovePotions.descr = "perkImprovePotions"; //Levis
   ChrPerksList.list.ImprovePotions.rank = 15;
   ChrPerksList.list.ImprovePotions.cost = 3; // Levis

   ChrPerksList.list.DefendPoison.descr = "perkDefendPoison"; //Levis
   ChrPerksList.list.DefendPoison.rank = 10;
   ChrPerksList.list.DefendPoison.cost = 3; // Levis

Reminder to self to do this before beta4

Apothecary Fetch Quest? Would be good to have for sure!
It'll be nice to actually have players take note of that location since it is important for a certain.... item.

Took a while but finally in included now:
Needs Testing - Leveling: Sudden Huge Amounts of XP Gained | Page 20 | PiratesAhoy!

One of the perks is unlocked by doing it.

This thread can now be called included
