[(BG1) BUG ] Store Fixes (0824)

To put it bluntly, stores, taverns, and inns are a mess. Many shops are not unique so if you buy stuff from one then you are buying from another. Bartenders are not correctly assigned and some establistments are missing their specific names.
Ulgoth's Beard store also has problems with items either not being identified or unlimited quantity.

    checking this one now

    Potentially fixed - I translated the change log into tp2 script, so there may have been some stuff missed.

    Sounds good. I'll give it a test if it's in the next build.
  • BalquoBalquo Member, Developer Posts: 2,746
    @SethDavis I noticed the following was missing:
    Funny thing is this code refuses to run for me claiming that bart11 does not exist. Did you have a similar problem?

    <<<<<<<< bart11.d REPLACE_ACTION_TEXT bart11 ~tav0721~ ~tavbar11~ >>>>>>>> COMPILE ~bart11.d~

    ah, missed that one, good catch. I have no problem running it though.

    @SethDavis Once serious bug that crashes the game. You have created a file named TEMP4003.STO. It should be TEM4003.STO, without the P.

    Other than that, many of the shop names seem to be missing. Here is the list. 
    COPY_EXISTING ~sto0706.sto~ ~override~ //Merchant 
      SAY NAME2 #9432 
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~tav0705.sto~ ~override~ //Elfsong Tavern
      SAY NAME2 #1167 
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~sto4906.sto~ ~override~ //Carnival Shop
      SAY NAME2 #11688 
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~stoblack.sto~ ~override~ //Black Lily
      SAY NAME2 #12706 
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~stosilen.sto~ ~override~ //Shop of Silence
      SAY NAME2 #20639 
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~tav0721.sto~ ~override~ //Tavern
      SAY NAME2 ~Tavern~ // Maybe you can make a new string for this in the dialogue?
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~tav0809.sto~ ~override~ //Store
      SAY NAME2 #13700 
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~tav0810.sto~ ~override~ //Maltz' Weapon Shop
      SAY NAME2 #11782 
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~tav4809.sto~ ~override~ //The Belching Dragon
      SAY NAME2 #11764 
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~tem0002.sto~ ~override~ //Temple of Helm
      SAY NAME2 #11703
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~tav0720.sto~ ~override~ //Drakon Tavern
      SAY NAME2 #20635
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~tavbar11.sto~ ~override~ //Tavern
      SAY NAME2 ~Tavern~ // Maybe you can make a new string for this in the dialogue?
      BUT_ONLY
    COPY_EXISTING ~tem4003.sto~ ~override~ //Alvahendar's healing and sundries
      SAY NAME2 #20713
      BUT_ONLY
     COPY_EXISTING ~tav0133.sto~ ~override~ //Low Lantern
      SAY NAME2 #14976
      BUT_ONLY
    I'll continue looking for more issues.

    sto4803 - Nashkel Store - You can buy but not sell shields. This should be enabled.
  • BalquoBalquo Member, Developer Posts: 2,746
    Another thing. Ulgoth's Inn is messed up now. Various items are completely missing from his inventory. The problem with the Inn was the identified issue and unlimited item issue.
    Camdawq has wrote some code which fixes them both for every .STO in the game. I would remove ULGOTH.STO from the override folder and run the code from here:

    OK, was writing shorts instead of longs for the names, that's fixed

    temp4003 now tem4003

    nashkel buying shields should be fixed

    Ulgoth was a mess because i was writing shorts rather than longs AND I'm incapable of adding 0x18 and 4 without my brain screaming 22, thanks elementary math.... It's 0x1c by the way.

    @SethDavis tem4003 confirmed fixed but temp4003 still exists in the override folder. Should probably delete it.

    Nashkel Store buying shields confirmed fixed.

    bart11.dlg using tavbar11 confirmed fixed.

    Ulgoth Inn is back to default. It still has items unidentified and unlimited issues. Use the code from here
    http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/1901/bgee-stores-with-infinite-stocked-items#latest Fixes these issues in every store :)

    Still some issues with shop names:

    These both should be named "Tavern" but there is no stringref for it. Should make one for them.
    tav0721.sto
    tavbar11.sto

    This should be called "Alvahendar's healing and sundries" #20713
    tem4003.sto

    Another quite major bug. tav0133.sto does not exist. You can create it from tav0154. Needs to be named "Low Lantern" #14976

    There is one for #11693 Pub... others use that.
  • BalquoBalquo Member, Developer Posts: 2,746
    Actually, that works too as both tav0721 and tavbar11 only sell drinks.

    Pub sounds very modern just :P haha
  • Avenger_teambgAvenger_teambg Member, Developer Posts: 5,862
    I agree, all pub-->tavern would work.
  • SethDavisSethDavis Member Posts: 1,812
    edited August 2012
    Potentially fixed - names changed as indicated, missing tavern added and renamed, @CamDawg's fix from the linked thread has been applied and the file in the override is probably there because we don't delete anything in the uses override (unless you did a clean install in which case I should go hunting)

    Third times the charm?
  • Avenger_teambgAvenger_teambg Member, Developer Posts: 5,862
    Confirmed NOT fixed (only 2 remains):

    tav0721 - bad string, should be 'Tavern' - a new string
    tav4809 - bad string, should be the Belching Dragon (this is canon, isn't it)
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    @Avenger_teambg
    At least that's what the sign outside the door says "Belching Dragon Tavern"
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    And tagging @SethDavis for the last fix.
  • SethDavisSethDavis Member Posts: 1,812
    Potentially fixed - As soon as "Pub" become "Tavern" things should be good
  • Avenger_teambgAvenger_teambg Member, Developer Posts: 5,862
    Pubs are still not Tavern, but @AndreaColombo can do that, strref in question is: #11693
  • AndreaColomboAndreaColombo Member Posts: 5,533
    Fixed.
  • TanthalasTanthalas Member Posts: 6,738
    Moving this one back to Found and Fixed then.
  • Avenger_teambgAvenger_teambg Member, Developer Posts: 5,862
    Confirmed fixed.
    #11693 is now Tavern
    That was the last remaining issue.

    I have done all the fixes myself

    Eh @Balquo? Didn't know you were now taking singlehanded credit not just for the BG1 Fixpack but also BG1 Unfinished Business as well? :p

    @Miloch
    LOL no idea why that is there - I think I was making reference to the notes in the second post - which i did do myself :p

    Anyway, here is the original post, which does credit them - also has the code which I should remove come to think of it.

    EDIT: Everything now removed.

    forgive my ignorance, I am not a coder, but it sounds like you guys are discussing making shops only have 1 item each, but what if I'm trying to build a custom party of all mages for example and I can only buy 1 set of gear for them?

    I think it depends on the item. For mundane or + items, then having multiple items in stock is OK to me. For named items I only expect there to be 1 in stock as it is a unique item.

  • BalquoBalquo Member, Developer Posts: 2,746
    This just makes each shop unique, as right now some shops are used more than once so when you buy from one you are removing stock from another.
  • BhryaenBhryaen Member Posts: 2,874
    Yeah, I always found this disorienting in BG City when I'd find about 3 or 4 stores with the exact same inventory, including items I'd just sold to one clear across town...
  • MilochMiloch Member Posts: 863
    Yes, it was a clear bug. Stores (and their inventories) are um... stored... in saved games, so if you sell to one store in southern Baldur's Gate and that same store is referenced in northern Baldur's Gate, that item will be there, completely against all reason apart from magical teleportation of inventory (which honestly defies a good reason).

    @FalkonSwiftblade - in effect, you may be able to buy more stuff with these fixes, since a lot of stores were not referenced properly (but based on their names and other clues, clearly were intended to be). This is particularly the case in BG city, where things appear to have gotten a bit rushed (deadlines and whatnot).
