I just Downloaded alpha 6, and there seems like there are no goods in the apartments, I've checked 5 so far without finding a thing.

[Mover#005]

there are a few errors in the current trunk, i fixed some of the more obvious ones but for others my insight in the code is lacking... will simply wait until you finish it up, thanks anyways.

Sometimes training doesnt even work, with enough money and everything.

BishopX... you're right, goods wouldn't spawn in apartments this version, I didn't think of that. I'll probably end up making all doors besides the one with the landlord locked, and the rooms behind them secured areas. Then you'll be able to steal goods from locked apartments. The reason they don't spawn now is that I made it so stealable goods won't appear in the lobbies of buildings, only in the locked back areas. You can't just run into the lobby and grab stuff, you have to quickly pick/break a lock, enter a secure area, and find some stuff. Makes it a little more interesting that way. Making apartments work the same way would be fun.

Mover#005 -- could you give a list of the errors you're running into when you compile? The code on there is exactly what was used to build the current executable I have up for download, so it should work. Should. Hopefully. If you give me the errors you're getting, I can take a look at them. I'm used to working with errors from GNU, Borland, and Microsoft, so no worries.

Okay, small bug with beta6. I'm not sure if you did this to avoid accidental wastes of time, but it now takes two keypresses to advance the day. It's behaving as though a message is being displayed every time you advance the day and you can hit any key and it will advance the day after you hit w.

I am trying some of the new features, so it may be related to incomplete messages about activities my guys are up to, but I'm not sure, I can't remember if it's been doing this since I started.

Torak -- I think the teacher needs at least 2 levels of skill above the student... but it doesn't say that anywhere, does it?

one other thing, I just lost one of my recruiters in a gun fight, and ended up leaving her body in one of my safe houses. During that time people kept coming back to see her about joining LCS. I recruited some of them, and then when I disposed of her body they lost touch with the squad.

THANK YOU. I was wondering WHY the game lagged so bad, I tried recompiling with optimizations, I tried closing other programs, I tried looking for excessively laggy code, I tried everything, there was just no explanation, and I never fixed it. But this makes PERFECT sense. I don't know where the problem is, but I'll find it.

Another bug. went to the pawn shop and bought a gun, left the pawn shop. The screen went entirely black until a key was pressed.

EDIT: Alright, it's happening after every Go Forth action. I'm going to try disabling everything else my men are doing and going on a site alone to see if it continues.

That is extremely odd o_O; I am going to have to try to duplicate this to figure out why it's doing that. I'll look into it.

I wonder if it's the new hacking code...? I'm betting it is... do you have hackers?

Edit: Sure enough, I just found a bug in the hacking code that would cause extra clearscreens/keypresses each day if you have people doing any of the computer-related activities.

Yep, that's probably it then. I have a couple fellas harassing websites.

[Mover#005]

Problem is, I'm not really familliar with them  

code:

error:Typumwandlung von »interrogation*« nach »int« verliert Genauigkeit
means roughly:
Typecasting from »interrogation*« to »int« looses precision
changed from:
pool[pl]->activity.arg = reinterpret_cast<int>(new interrogation);

pool[pl]->activity.arg = reinterpret_cast<long>(new interrogation);

then
crimesquad-saveload.o: In function `load()':
/usr/local/src/31104branch/src/title/saveload.cpp:548: undefined reference to `recruitst::recruitst()'
crimesquad-talk.o: In function `talk(creaturest&, int)':
/usr/local/src/31104branch/src/sitemode/talk.cpp:592: undefined reference to `recruitst::recruitst()'
crimesquad-daily.o: In function `advanceday(char&, char)':
/usr/local/src/31104branch/src/daily/daily.cpp:510: undefined reference to `tendhostage(creaturest*, char&)'
/usr/local/src/31104branch/src/daily/daily.cpp:966: undefined reference to `completerecruitmeeting(recruitst&, int, char&)'
/usr/local/src/31104branch/src/daily/daily.cpp:947: undefined reference to `completerecruittask(recruitst&, int, char&)'

here I completely lost it

Go ahead and commit the first change to SVN if you haven't already, eventually we're going to get the type sizes standardized in the code, for now it's chaos. The rest are link errors, and I kind of expected them... there are two files it's not compiling:

/src/daily/interrogation.cpp
/src/daily/recruit.cpp

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure how to add them for you. How do you compile for linux?

Edit: If you know what file to change to make them compile, and can do that, you can commit that change too. I would have done it myself but I don't know what to do... I'll keep poking at it.

I think I might have to harass Toady to give LCS its own sub-board now that it's in active dev. It's getting hard to find what's what with all the activity lately in here.
