Shipping Trader Route [Server Mod]

Post by Coldie »

Shipping Trader Route

This mod is for people to earn coins sailing, you pick up cargo at 1 location and take it to another to drop it off and get paid.

The player needs to be commanding a ship to do the action to load and unload cargo and its saved for that ship, not the commander.

The server admin needs to actually do stuff for this mod.

GM creates an item in game called trade storage, drops it at the location you want and then right click and click activate trade storage. The Gm menu is ummm special, all the stuff in it is no longer used for anything, can basically just ignore it all and click activate trade storage unit.

You will obviously want 2 + of these and placed in different areas.

The server admin then has to open modsupport db and edit Tradeprices.

In this example there are 3 locations, 1 2 3 that have been placed around map. notice the 0 they are very important, matching names from id name and top name need to be 0. In this example the trip from location2 to location1 would pay 400 value, the trip from location1 back to location2 would pay 350. These values are then adjusted by the type of ship carrying the cargo. Cargo amount is listed in properties file, ie knarr=20.
[13:59:00] You got 70 copper deposited into your bank.
[13:59:04] You got 80 copper deposited into your bank.



obviously you don't want to put the trade storage side by side like this haha.

Things to remember, if someone loads ship into a ship transporter they can travel by land then unload at another location. So it might take 3 hours to sail around a cape but if it takes 20 mins to drive across land then some people will drive.

Ok next thing, server admin can adjust a payment to a location by a factor in the Tradelocations of modsupport db, at the very right has Adjustment, default is 1.0 server admin can lower or raise it depending on if they want 1 location to be worth more or not. So don't need to adjust all of the values in tradeprices, can just change adjustment.

In this pic you can also see the 'name' this will be auto filled by deed name if placed on a deed, otherwise it just says what it does in pic.

This mod isn't polished, kind of lost interest in modding at one stage and so like the GM menu has unused stuff and what not but hey only GM's see it and not the players *shrug*
