Good evening (or morning) everyone,
Another hotfix for you as we get roughly 60% finished with our 1.18.2 patch. This update brings you a lot of little goodies, however it is only for those of you running the "Testing Build" of the game. If you wish to switch versions of the game see: http://www.ventdev.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2594 for instructions.
I've got a few more bugs to do and then I plan on spending some time this weekend on optimizations. So hopefully we'll be speeding up parts of the game (If not I'm wasting my time! :D )
Anyhoo what's in this patch:
-Fixed division by zero crash in magazine.
-Fixed Instant vehicle design bug
-Fixed Research Team Moral Decrease when not funded bug
-Fixed Gearbox addons not appearing until year after Memo is sent bug.
-Put a limit on component modification (10 Major Mods max)
-Decreased component modification costs.
-Removed HR Admin Employee Count slider/textbox. (Admin Employees are unchangeable now)
-Fixed Racing Report Headline bug
-View Components 'Used In' table now scrollable.
-Research Team Moral now increases when over paying employees.
-Fixed Unicode File Delete in windows (Currently working on issues in the Linux Build)
-Reduced Skill Requirements for a number of technologies. Also increase a few others.
-Increased the rate of Skill Requirement decay significantly. You should be able to get common tech much more reasonably.
-I head renamed to OHV, since it's a much more common name. Starting date lowered, however skill requirement increase should have it coming out around historical time frame (1930s)
-Show how many production lines you are/have allocated above production line slider.
-End Production from Mega Menu (This overrides contracting checks, so be careful!)
-Memo now fires when design skills requirements and year requirements are met for new technologies.
-Contracts now show up in "Used In" table for Engines and Vehicles in the View Window.
-Fixed Contract Penalty Bug.
-Fixed Duplicate Contracts listed in sales book
-Fixed Incorrect Months Remaining dates in Contract Sales book.
-Fixed bug in amount of needed contract units when less than the normal monthly amount is needed.
-Added Memo for when contracts are finished.
-Fixed bug in New Trim Marque Dropdown list. Show now show all your marques.
-Added some cautionary division by zero checks and initialization of variables. (May cause some bugs, may fix some bugs. We'll see!)
-Fixed Licensed out memo bug that did not show the licensed out price.
-Awards are now given for all vehicles companies who have branches in a region. In the future I will limit it to only vehicles sold in said region.
