Dev Update (13/09/2024)
Added 2024-09-12 21:41:22 +0000 UTCHi!
Here's a quick development update.
Today I implemented one of the most "scary" topics related to this upcoming demo which is multi-trader saving and loading.
This basically means that I divided the trader related save data to individual traders. This might seem a "no-brainer" but it actually required tweaking the entire save file hierarchy in way that wrong implementation would eventually lead to all kinds of corrupted data.
However this is now implemented and I have tested it multiple times and the nice thing is that now the save system is fully complete for traders, since they don't need any more changes to save data.
This same trick must be done for shelters in the future as well. I'm pretty sure I don't have time to implement that multi-shelter feature for this demo launch, but since I now have the experience on how to do it with traders, I can pretty easily copy those same methods for shelters.
Also few things related to the Doctor.
This trader character is now also fully implemented, but I quickly found out that I have way to few medical items to make it somewhat logical to have different medical related tasks. However I'm pretty confident that I do have time to add more medical related items (also improvised for crafting), so I'm not that concerned with this topic (yet) :)
Tomorrow I will continue with the map upgrades.

Good progress! Some useful medical items: - rubber hoses for tourniquets - butter to treat burns - bleach to purify water - 99% alcohol for sterilizing and mental health Some ideas for medical related tasks: - go find clean linen for bandages - go kill a military guy to take his IFAK and tourniquet to the Doc - go get rubber hoses from vehicles engine bay - go barter confiscated 99% spirits to ammo with border guards
