No goodwill restrictions for traders. It means they won't hide from you all the marvellous stuff they conceal...for a strange kind of reason.
FOR:
_Removing goodwill restrictions for all traders = buy top tiers weapons and stuff without having to gain goodwill/trust/to work for traders’ faction
========
WHY USE IT?
BECAUSE. Lol. No, seriously, this is cheat, but it is also up to you to use it or not. I personnally use it because I've been playing the game more than I should admit, and I'm a serious player guy, so whenever I die...I die. And goodwill is reset. This is no reason, I know, but still, getting to do not so thrilling missions ONLY so you can get an axe or better backpack...This is up to you guys: I used to be ok with the goodwill system, but having to get it to 2000 for every trader when you simply want THAT specific thing and that you can afford it...Makes sense for a trader to hide good stuff to newbies, but on the other hand also to show full stuff because... it's the zone man! and life is short. No time for conventions ;) You got the cash, I got stuff.
=========
USEFUL INFO:
_THERE ARE 2 WAYS OF DOING THIS:
Unlocking Heavy pocket achievement (getting 1 000 000 roubles in pocket unlocks merchants stuff).
or
Tweaking the trade.lfx files.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU?
_If you use the heavy pocket tweak version, you can use ANY other addon that tweak the trade.lfx files without worrying about conflict. Nice! But you won't get to achieve the heavy pocket achievement since my tweak unlocks it (100 roubles in pocket unlocks it now, so it's automatically rewarded).
_If you use the trade.lfx way, it is ONLY for Anomaly vanilla (with no other trade addons) OR Anomaly + B&s (Boomsticks and Sharpsticks) addon. YOU CANNOT USE with any other mod that changes configs > items > trade files (any mod that modifies trader stuff won’t be ok with this one mod)
I don’t use the Trader Complete addon for example, so I have no version for it. Read UPDATE section for more info about how to make it work with ANY other mod.
IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SH*T, CHOOSE THE Heavy Pocket VERSION!!!
========
3 VERSIONS:
_Heavy pocket achievement: COMPATIBLE with ANYTHING that doesn't alter "dxr_achievements.script" (compatible with Trader Complete and other addons)
_For Anomaly 1.5.0 fix 4 hotfix 8.1
OR
_For Anomaly 1.5.0 fix 4 hotfix 8.1 AND B&s (Boomstick and sharpstick) version 14.05.2020_UPD4_8.1
(Read UPDATE section for more info)
CHOOSE ONLY ONE!!!!!
========
INSTALL:
_Download
_Unzip downloaded folder – use any unzipper software
_Pick you version accordingly
_Drop selected folder unzipped in your main Anomaly folder
(WARNING: make a backup of your gamedata folder – if it exists – so that you can revert changes in case of problem. Better still : use JSGME – optional but recommended)
_Voilà! No more limitations to what traders sell !
=========
TO KNOW:
_I won’t update this mod. Most probably the Heavy pocket version will never need updates and will always work.
_For the other method (tweaking the lfx files) YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF !! It is easy ;) Explanation in UPDATE below
_I DON’T KNOW IF SAVE GAME COMPATIBLE. Try and load a game to see if a trader has everything in stock. If no, well, kill him, then kill yourself, then ask forgiveness to Jesus, then start a new game.
=========
UPDATE:
It would be impossible for me to keep track of updates for Anomaly or for every update of every addon one uses. Don’t fret, though, for making the update or compatible version of this addon to your specific mod configuration is EASY. Simply: change a value in the trade_xxx.ltx files.
_Locate trade_xxx.ltx files (Example: trade_csky_spore.ltx) in your Anomaly > gamedata > configs > items > trade.
_Open them with text editor.
_Find the line that goes like: buy_supplies = {=actor_goodwill_ge(csky:2000)} supplies_5…
_Change the 2000 value to 0 (Example: {=actor_goodwill_ge(csky:0)} supplies_5…
_Do it with all other values of this line (Example: {=actor_goodwill_ge(csky:1500)} supplies_4…
TO
{=actor_goodwill_ge(csky:0)} supplies_4…
_Do it with all other trade_xxx.ltx files where such a line appears (Example: {=actor_goodwill_ge(monolith:700)} supplies_5
TO
{=actor_goodwill_ge(monolith:0)} supplies_5
Sorry if explanation is short, but I have faith you will succeed if you try patiently…lol XD
This will make things way too easy. It makes sense that factions don't automatically give random strangers access to their very small limited supply of really high tier stock, and instead save it for their well respected members. This is just going to utterly break that.
For a 1st playthrough, I totally agree. THIS IS CHEAT! it's in the tag. But after many, especially if you're an honest dude and don't reload whenever you die (like normal life I would say), goodwill is reset, and you have to go up the ladder to get...an axe or a tourist backpack...Come on, you have money, they have stuff. If you play serious, goodwill for trader is annoying. For me. I'm gonna add an explanation of my choice in description, thanks ;)
Its not for "breaking" anything,
Its for doing what it says it does.
Its an opinion that you don't want to use it.
But not a legitimate critique of doing what it says it does.
Yeah, true. Honestly, I don't care that much about justifying myself. I use it because...I use it! Lol, I have my reasons and it must be a good one for me If I'm happy this way, and I'm certainly NOT saying my way is better. As said, I was happy climbing the social ladder at the beginning but I'm such a veteran of the zone by now that I feel no one is to hide anything from me! XD (especially not good stuff :)) And to be correct, I don't think getting one's goodwill high is the goal of the game, so I don't get that "breaking" or "too easy" argument. Play the hardcore way and tell me if it is any easier to get a top gun at 200000 roubles (or backpack at 44000) with goodwill at max! Won't make things cheaper.
I agree it is kind of a cheat to be given access to best stuff right from the get go, but I think goodwill does build up way too slowly in this game. You have to do hundreds of quests just to get minor goodwill. I made it to Veteran Rank, I have Brilliant Reputation, and pretty much explored the entire world before I even got to minor goodwill with a faction, and what new items did I gain access to? A steel helmet, one of the worst headgears in the entire game. No point in buying it, since I already got an exoskeleton that I just looted off a corspe days ago, and had repaired.
Давно хотел найти такой мод
Nice ;)
Thanks for this in the first place. This will be great for when i run Azzazel, and Warfare and just roaming around untill death. So this might be a big request but if its easy it would be great, Is there anyway you can make this a setting that we can enable and disable? I think that would be even more awesome. but hey if not still great work for making this.
Is this going to be updated for 1.5.1? I used this a lot for 1.5U4H8, and it was really great.
Thanks for the mod. Underground places crash with 1.5.2. The water one works fine with it.
