DESIGN

  • Adjusted rate of "healing" for player market-caused crashes. They should happen less often if selling over time instead of bulk.

    • There still, however, appears to be a glitch where the market crashes after selling one item for the first time. Still looking into this.

  • Port Customs fees automatically take payment without waiting for player input when giving the total.

  • Dockmaster now mentions that procurement quests give wampum. His message is also shortened on return.

BUGFIXES

"Double-movement of pointer in cargo screen when dumping cargo."

  • This one's been bizarre, but I believe it even though I can't trigger it - at least two players reported this. I checked the code to see if the pointer was moving based on a variable value that was overlapping with something else, but no, it's hardset to move by 36 pixels up or down. So I added a 5-frame wait to the start of movement code trees when a button is triggered, hopefully to prevent duplicate triggers.

  • Added a switch that checks if the pointer's movement action is still completing before triggering, along with a safety catch if it lasts more than 15 frames.

  • Added a switch that checks if the player is currently within a DumpingCargo instance before accidentally triggering another one.

  • DumpingCargo instance check moved further to the end of event code.

"Multiple Random Events coming at the same time while at sea."

  • Added switch check to see if player is currently in a random event before triggering. Something about the previous loop executed too fast, maybe.

  • Most sea map objects check if player is NOT in a Random Sea Event before triggering.

MISC

  • Menu access is manually enabled after leaving cargo screen and random events, in case that was messing something up.

  • Safety catch every second for InRandEvent switch to turn off if moving (since you're not supposed to move during Random Sea Events anyways). Same with the following:

    • Re-enabled Menu Access if turned off.

    • Checking if the player is actually currently checking for dumping cargo or not.

  • Plugin no longer deletes images when going between menu and gameplay.

  • Postman cancel button works properly.
