Wrong age calculation on year change

[Pyrdacor]

At offset $3A inside the Party_data.sav there is a value which stores how many years have passed since start of the game (year 978). This value obviously starts at 0.

In the original this is added to the character's age. I guess the plan was to only increase the character's age by 1 due to artificial aging and then just use this global "years passed" value to add it for all.

Unfortunately when a year passes, both values are increased by 1. So each year every character ages by 2 years.

This is hardly noticable as you have to sleep 365 times until it has any effect.

This will also kill you sooner of course. I guess the easiest way to fix it is just to remove the addition of that value and just stick to the character's age value solely. Did it in AA already.

There is another age issue in Ambermoon I noticed. I don't know if you want a new bug for this? Or if it has been reported before? It is about the age of recurring characters from Amberstar.

Ambermoon I believe somewhere explains how many years have passed since Amberstar (NPC_texts.amb 004 "IT IS ONLY THANKS TO THE BROTHERHOOD THAT DREADFUL LORD TARBOS DID NOT REAPPEAR FOR THE LAST 70 YEARS").

If you add approx 70 years to the age the recurring characters were in Amberstar it does not equal the age those characters are in Ambermoon. (At least not all of them)

e.g. your Grandfather (who was the PC in Amberstar), Pelanis (who is younger now than Amberstar!), Lady Sandra, Gryban and probably others?

I guess the only ones which might be old enough and might appear in Amberstar are Tar, Lebab, Dönner, Kire or Dorina.

I also noticed that. At least for Grandpa and Sandra.
