Gem Currency?

[smallp0x]

Hey all!

 

I'm trying to replace the current metal currency with gems, but updating them in the database alone did not work. The gems are not being removed after buying an item. 

 

Anyone know what I have to do to make this work?  :mellow:

 

Thanks!

If you want to use gems as a barter currency you need to add to the afile entry "_old" at the end like trade_items > trade_items_old.

Pardon my ignorance, but where am I making this change?

I am assuiming so the game takes ur "currency" at face value from your inventory.  Or that the Epoch devs have not added a "rate" for the current in game gems.

The old trading way  is a "Face value" trading system, the new way breaks down what you have in your inventory so it can give change when purchasing items.

Pardon my ignorance, but where am I making this change?

 

afile is a column in the Traders_DATA table of your SQL database.

 

If you haven't already, get Navicat or any other MySQL management software; or if your host allows it, you can always use the built in phpMyAdmin.

When I use trade_items_old I get this error.

It worked flawlessly for me and now I've added several things like Apache AH64 and the Avenger in the traders. They are insanely high priced but the players LOVE having something to 'quest' towards.

I am not using SQL but rather using the DZE_ConfigTrader = true method and using using hpp files.

 

example:

 

class Category_3100 {
    class G36_C_SD_camo {type = "trade_weapons";buy[] = {1,"ItemGoldBar10oz"};sell[] = {5,"ItemGoldBar"};};

};

 

is there a way I can do the afile _old so it can be handled with the old barter system instead of the new ?

 

Could I do {afile = "trade_weapons_old"} or something at the end?

 

Wait!! maybe I just need to change the existing line to look like this bellow.

 

class G36_C_SD_camo {type = "trade_weapons_old";buy[] = {1,"ItemRuby"};sell[] = {5,"ItemGoldBar"};};

if you are using the missionfile categorys and stuff to have server figure out the prices foor trade items do something like this :

 

	class LAV25_DZE {
		type = "trade_any_vehicle";
		buy[] = {4,"ItemBriefcase100oz"};
		sell[] = {2,"ItemBriefcase100oz"};
	};
	class LAV25 {
		type = "trade_any_vehicle_old";
		buy[] = {4,"ItemSapphire"};
		sell[] = {2,"ItemSapphire"};
	};

this _old  has to be there for all items, weapons, vehicles that will be sold and bought for gemstones

[grazskin]

that seemed to work for my but it look odd on the vendor list now. Doesn't show the weapon icon or the discription, Something like  (class G36_C_SD_camo) but I can buy it for a ruby.

dont worry about it, it works

vehicles will not show up green for being sold but you can still sell them

Hi Sukkaed, did you manage to fix this issue? I'm getting the same error in my rpt since adding gems to Black Market Trader at Stary.....

 

23:09:29 Error in expression <urrency = _this select 5;

_qty = _this select 6;

_clientID = owner _player;

_p>

23:09:29   Error position: <select 6;

_clientID = owner _player;

_p>

23:09:29   Error Zero divisor

Fix on this?

[ReDBaroN]

Fix on this?

Never got a fix and was told to ignore it so have done. I'm not sure the error is having any adverse reaction apart from slight extra spam in the report. This will depend on how much your gem trader gets used though. Because of the higher currency, I have changed my gem rarity to a 4% drop instead of 40%. So, this trader's activity is quite low within each restart cycle.

Where can you change the drop rate?

Where can you change the drop rate?

Hi, read this thread from the link down. about 1.5 pages. There's some important things to read further down so, it's worth reading the whole post.

 

 

You edit and override a file called remove.sqf.
