Bug - Fixed Hermit problem with r8669 (Prompt for fishing instead of purchasing permit.)

[Bale]

Lots of clovers for me to get today. So I use the wonderful [fish for a worthless item] link -- I love that Veracity, it's perfect! to get a worthless item and get clover number 1. After making a trade with the hermit he told me:

The Hermit rummages through your sack, and with a disappointed look on his face, he sends you packing.[fish for a worthless item]

So I used that link to go fish. Yay! Then after it gets a worthless item I'm told:

The Hermit sees that you're out of Permits, so he sends you packing.[fish for a worthless item]

That's a small problem. I have a worthless item, it's a permit that I need. Not a big bug, but it should purchase a hermit permit, not prompt me to go fishing.

I was wondering about this, but all of my characters have hax0red the Hermit, so I couldn't test. That "sees you're out of Permits" message is different than what the code already looks for, which is something about "he's a real stickler for regulations".

I'll see what I can do, although I can't test at the moment...

Edit: Ah ha. The Wiki says that the "real stickler for regulations" message is the Toot Oriole telling you that you can't go into the cave. Apparently we bypassed that and there is the message you saw.

 

[Veracity]

Based on what you cited in your bug report, I've added the additional "you need a permit" message with associated "go buy a permit" link. Revision 8670, untested.

And now it is perfect.
