[TomeNet] adding more shops to town/Bree?

[David Chmelik]

I setup a TomeNet server like the old 'funserver' that had almost 100-
level training tower and more/better shops in the starting town, Bree.
However the higher-level alchemy shop on the map appeared as a basic
alchemy shop instead. I talked to one of the programmers, Kurzel, who
said my shop definition line (under 'Alchemy Shop (high-level)) matches
the map, on which the line's second character between colons (Q) is the
same as on map, and the final part at end of colons is the store number
(defined in tomenet/lib/game/st_info.txt).

As he suggested, I also temporarily changed Q to another shop, which then
appeared fine.

I tried it with different map characters than Q with always same result.

The higher-level alchemy shop sells higher-level potions & scrolls but
fewer/none of some lower ones, so players on this server want both.

The only other change I think I made was put shop definition lines in
numerical order, which one in the original (The Prancing Pony) was out of
order.

My t_bree.txt starts below this line. Note that it contains a large map
wider than 72 lines, so to view that, you'd have to put it into a current-
day fixed-width text editor.

Apparently it did appear but was just very similar. I edited st_info.txt
to make some higher-level items appear more in it, and they did, after
all. So there was no actual problem with the Bree map and my server is
working.
