Unconfirmed Bug Negative Money for Store Owner

[Skyworm]

Cheers mates,

found a very strange thing at a merchant. She has negative money, and won't buy anything.

When selling trade goods she buys as usual.

You happen to have a savegame?

lol ... I can already tell what happened here
Integer overflow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Did you buy a lot of stuff from this merchant?

at least thats my guess

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Ah, I think @Grey Roger might have ran into that one too.

Maybe a fix then by not bothering to increase above that integer limit?
After all, that becomes a difference between "crazy much" and "a bit more".

 

[Grey Roger]

You'd have to buy an incredible amount of stuff from the merchant to trigger that overflow. See Maximum Cash in which I figured out how much money PoTC can handle. Did the merchant really somehow acquire 2147483647 gold?

Cheers,

unfortunately no, I don't have a savegame.

To your theory, yes, maybe the merchant was very wealthy. As some merchants (in fact, a lot of them) is very poor, below few hundred gold. And lots of so called merchants don't even have anything to sell.

Back to my problem, after I met the shipwright and slept a night in the tavern, the problem had solved itself, and the merchant was back to 12000000 gold or so.
