shurix Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 It's impossible to change any prices and trader items right now but I'm wondering if this could be changed in a future release. Some 30% of the (vanilla Arma) guns I use on my AI cannot be sold. Some non-Epoch vehicles like Armed Offroad are not available for trade either. I run @RHS mods on my server and I added lots of eastern and western wheeled transport and choppers into my AI missions but all of those HAMMERs and Mi-8s cannot be sold, only taken apart. Is there any good reason for hiding price configs in the locked part of the mod? Maybe it makes sense to expose those just like epochconfig.hpp?

Darth_Rogue Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I second this. Altering trader prices and items is a must-have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Im with you guys. Also it would be cool to give Traders different Pricesets. This could be a big part of PvE then. Expect a trader with much more cheaper prices, many players will go there and more fights will be set up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigham Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I hope we get the choice to split the traders up so we can have vehicles sold in one plays guns sold in another etc, that way people would have to travel with thier money making it more valuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbawol Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 We will be making it so you can change the prices and add items, however it cannot really be done via the epochconfig as that is server side only and we certainly do not want to push that much data over a public variable. The way we will allow customizing this will likely be via the mission file description.ext. This should be in for the next public release.

Just because I'm curious, why add such things to description.ext and not init.sqf? I'm recalling A2 Epoch where there were tons of server settings and variables that were done in init.sqf and not in description.ext. Why the change? Curious geeks like me wanna know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious geeks like me wanna know. :) Variables can be defined in the init.sqf file which is why many addons add their config options to it as it is easier if everything is in one place. Using configfile and missionconfigfile classes becomes more complicated, these must be defined in the description.ext and can then be referenced to with missionconfigfile >> "Class_Goes_Here" EDIT : If you need any other help the arma wiki is decent, or PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have categorized traders been thought about, ie set a trader as a certain type and they will only buy / sell certain items. Could work for vehicle traders as I don't believe a trader in a shed would likely have helicopters and cars to sell, whereas a more central trader in a city could have these items, but then not have more industrial items.

Ewoot Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 If you know how to program arma 3 a bit, this should already be possible achieving on your own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes but you have to be able to modify server files and load Emod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
