[MOD] TAF! v1.2 (12 Dec. 2015)

[TheRealBix]

Try this Bix

Code: Select all

<reward_player money="-2000Cr"/>

it will also generate a notification of money down on the event monitor

Rhaaaaa I was sure I had already tried this !!!

In fact i was trying to do so manually

Code: Select all

		  <transfer_money from="player.entity" to="$actor" amount="10000000" />
		  <show_notification caption="'Paid : 100000 Cr'" icon="achievement_money_down" queued="true" sound="ui_mon_eve_money_down"/>

But it wasn't very clean

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

In fact the name is a sort of french wordplay

OK, fair enough

[TheRealBix]

Ok, here is the code, I can't find the way to create this #*$\ menu.. I think i'll need to take a nap

Here the code

Code: Select all

                <add_player_choice_sub position="top_right" text="{1002,12220}" comment="Ask for: Trade offer updates - menu" section="gTradeAgent_Start" selectable="not event.object.container.hastradesubscription" baseparam="event.param2"/>

Here I set the submenu to access to the confirmation

Code: Select all

	<cue name="TradeAgentBix" instantiate="true">
      <conditions>
        <check_any>
          <event_conversation_started sectionprefix="gTradeAgent_" actor="$actor" />
          <event_conversation_returned_to_section sectionprefix="gTradeAgent_" actor="$actor" />
        </check_any>
	  </conditions>
	  <actions>
	    <do_if value="event.param == 'gTradeAgent_Start'">
	      <add_player_choice_sub position="top_left" text="Confirm" comment="Search in T files" section="gTradeAgent_rewardTradeUpdates" selectable="player.money gt 100000Cr" />
          <add_player_choice_return text="{1002,20}" position="bottom_right" comment="Back"/>
		</do_if>
	  </actions>
	</cue>
	
    <cue name="RewardTradeUpdatesFinishedHandler" instantiate="true" namespace="this">
      <conditions>
            <!--<event_conversation_finished outcome="gTradeAgent_rewardTradeUpdates" />-->
			<event_conversation_next_section sectionprefix="gTradeAgent_rewardTradeUpdates"/>
      </conditions>
      <actions>
		<do_if value="event.param == 'gTradeAgent_rewardTradeUpdates'">
          <add_trade_subscription object="event.object.container" />
          <show_help line="350" comment="Your ship computer database will automatically be updated with trade offers from this station." log="false" position="8" />
          <add_npc_line line="4119" comment="Sure" />
		  <reward_player money="-10000000Cr"/>
        </do_if>
      </actions>
    </cue>

And here I set the Confirm option and back + the trade subscrption.

But.. No submenu at all


edit :

Code: Select all

<event_conversation_next_section

FACEPALM

[YorrickVander]

Personally I would take the simple option :

Code: Select all

 <actions>
      <do_if value="event.param == 'gTradeAgent_rewardTradeUpdates'">
          <reward_player money="-2000Cr"/>
          <add_trade_subscription object="event.object.container" /> 
          ....

and include details of cost in the mod desc. More submenus are rarely good Just my opinion of course.

I'd like to, but without submenu there's a loop in the payment :/

[TheRealBix]

Mhh.. In fact there's still a loop ..

Second on that. I'm a total noob with this game and some kind of guide/examples would be very helpful.

Thanks.

[kinetic]

Thank you !

A little guide:

1. Fly around station exterior to reveal a docking port.
2. Left-click on the port's icon on your HUD.
3. Left-click on the on the HUD's main monitor.
4. Marvel at the pop-up window of dreamy goodness.
5. Start a conversation with an appropriate NPC*.
6. "Choose the fairly obvious convo option".
7. Pay the fee and "profit".


* I don't have a definitive list but it's the sort that would offer you trade updates as a small talk reward. So basically, most trader NPCs (e.g. Junk Dealer or Black Market dude) plus a couple of others (Architect?).

@Sparky

Thank you. I did that. Now I have an eye near the station's name. Good. But what next... I mean how exactly this mod working? Where/how I can see the results of this just hired for 80000 credits agent? Is this somewhere in trade menu (SHIFT+T) or he/she will contact me about an available offer(s) or should I contact him/her or... well I can't figure this out.

Thanks.

[YorrickVander]

What happens now is that your trade window (shift+t) will be instantly updated for any prices changed or orders added/finished for any station with the eye icon. As you build up your contacts you can eventually cover every friendly station.

Ahh! I actually was thinking about that, but wasn't sure!
Thanks for a lesson!

[Baconnaise]

I love this mod dearly.

You could also just hit enter/3/3/4/4/1/5/1 provided that's the only station in the zone that you need. Way faster .

[Sparky Sparkycorp]

Hahaha, oh wow... hahaha!

Just went to check what crew I had on-board after using Taf! to hire someone... The newly-hired dude docked and entered the ship via the toilet while I was looking around!

Well placed Sir, well played.


Edit:

This little crappy mod

lol

[docwho83]

Love the mod. It helps with just being able to send my ships back to get more supples without having to fly there first to see the dock locations.


Small request..... (I tried modding this mod to make it work no luck)

Can you add a version with discounts and commissions? I see in cat.8 (2.0 files) player_commission and player_discount

I tried adding following code to taf.xml just after the line of add_trade_subscription

Code: Select all

		<add_player_commission object="event.object.container" name="Tech Enticement" commission="50%" />
		<add_player_discount object="event.object.container" name="Insider Benefactor" discount="50%" />
