Money reporting for unique characters isn't working at all.  I get what appear to be memory pointers or something instead.  Random characters individual actions work, but end of day reporting is nowhere close to the actual total earned.

EDIT: Also a new bug, Buying a slave from the Slave Market instantly remakes the entire Slave Market 'inventory'.

I managed to do it eventually using wordpad instead.

However, even when I set player pregnancy to 100% the girls don't always get pregnant the first time. In fact, the config doesn't seem to affect their pregnancy rates at all. I set the customer pregnancy rate to 100, set up a test game, grabbed ten girls, set them in the brothel, one round later only 1 is pregnant.

I modified the new config file using Textpad, and I can confirm the pregnancy variables aren't working.  100% rate with six girls after three days, and none got pregnant.

Bar staff and Gambling Staff are apparently free-their cost is listed as 0 per day.

Gambling hall says it's pool is empty regardless of how much is in there.

Matron is not increasing in skill.
 
Money reports are wildly inaccurate.
 
Enemy respawn after completion is non-functional.
 
 
...Effectively the game is now unplayable.

Previously if you kept playing after driving your competitors out of business, new gangs would move into the area.

As Bloodly pointed out, the game is basically unplayable at the moment.  I went through six weeks and on the last week had a reported income of 18,000 gold with only three girls in my brothel and -3,000 gold total.
 
The only way I was able to make any money at all was to sell one of my slaves.
 
Ok, I loaded a new game and bought one slave who made me 41 gold per customer.  She saw one customer during her shift, I made a profit of 219 dollas and still my total gold dropped by 13, which is what it cost to keep a girl in the brothel in "very poor" conditions.
 
Then, to test it some more, I bought a gang to guard.  Now I'm losing a hundred gold a week despite my profits being in the thousands.

Running into the gold issue myself.  Profits being reported in the thousands, every week higher than the last, but losing gold every turn.

The bug where the game crashed branding/sending to dungeon has gone away.  This is HUGE for me, that bug had gotten to the point of game-breaking for me.

The game seems to be confused about the status of women in the wild (slave/free/catacombs).  Was getting a girl nearly every time I went for a walk, but many where girls tagged for catacombs only.  Only custom ones though.

Custom girls seemed to have gone up dramatically in price.

I'm going to try the game just as a standard pack.  It's seems like alot of my issues are involving custom girls.  Maybe they aren't being loaded properly?  I'll come back and say if that helped.

Edit : No, it didn't.  Still a large difference between reported profit and actual.  Still losing money.

When I say 'Wildly inaccurate' I mean it.  You can report losses of 10,000+ yet make profit.  Or the same amount leads to a loss of 3000.  You basically have no idea what is going on.

I think the point's been made, mates.  Money's borked up in the recent update.  Y'all can stop now.

[mutter] Makes me happy I haven't DL'ed it yet... [/mutter]
Still lurking.

OK. It looks like the g_Gold's week_end() method isn't getting called for some reason, which means the profit and upkeep totals are never getting added back to the main value. Shouldn't be too hard to sort out.

[edit]

Nope, that wasn't it. Still, committed a change that seems to have fixed it. Not entirely sure how (which is always a little worrying) but it seems to work.

[EDIT]

Hotfix available! Should fix the problem of a brothel's income not getting added to the player's cash at the turn end.

http://pinkpetal.org/index.php?topic=176.0



would it be possible to move the config file into the data folder? cause it took me like an hour of looking before I finally found it in the middle of all those interface images.

EDIT: also, whenever I try to view a girls details from the brothel management screen, I just get the blank background image with a little bar in one corner.
Easy enough to do, although I don't want to have to keep moving it. Any other thoughts on where the config file should live?

How are you opening the girl detail screen, exactly? clicking on the button, using the hotkey?

[edit]

The config file is a complete mess when opened with notepad and defaults to opening in a browser.

Try the one attached, and see if it edits OK. The game one looks to be missing carriage return chars at the line end. Always messes notepad up, that...

Logged to tracker. Major financial problem (brothel profits not being added to the total at end-of-week) should be fixed with next release

The game seems to be confused about the status of women in the wild (slave/free/catacombs).  Was getting a girl nearly every time I went for a walk, but many where girls tagged for catacombs only.  Only custom ones though.

I think that's an old one, but still needs fixing

Custom girls seemed to have gone up dramatically in price.

Yeah, they have. There was a 55% price reduction on slave girls, as opposed to free women. Since you can't sell free women, this seemed silly so I removed it. I was going to tweak it back down again in the config file, but didn't in the end, since its generally felt that there's too much money in the game, and prices are configuable now in any event.

[edit]

Found the pregnancy problem. I was returning a bool from the func that calculated the %chance. So it was always 0 or 1, no matter how high the chance was

The autobuy features don't seem to work at all, and the game keeps telling me my gambling pool is empty even though it isn't.
The truth is out there, but it's usually pretty boring, so people make up interesting lies instead.

Found the gambling pool problem, and the cause of the bar/casino staff wages being displayed as zero. The second one is because config.xml needs a "StaffWages" entry. I've attached a sample file for that.

I'm going to see if I can squish another couple of these, and then I'll put up another hotfix version.

[edit]

Second hotfix release out: http://pinkpetal.org/index.php?topic=176.msg3064#msg3064

Fair warning: new config file in there - will overwrite your current one. Back it up, if you've modified it at all.
