Description
RPE Dino Sales
V1.04

Mod ID 2331907423

This mod is being discontinued and will not receive any more updates unless it is an easy bug fix.

This Mod adds a Dino Sales Station.
At this sales station you can sell your dinos to the game as a way to make money in game.
(ALL DINOS SOLD ARE IRRETIEVABLY DESTROYED) So please do not sell anything you want to keep.

All items left in the dinos inventory will be returned to you with the payment

The Things that sets this mod apart from other similar mods is the following.
  • A dino a day feature where it choses a random dino from the list of sellable dinos (Sellable dinos are set in an INI settings) at every server restart, (This is displayed on the structure.) that will give a bonus percentage for that type of dino to the amount of coin given.
  • A Atribute (Stat) of the day where it choses a random atribute from the following, Healthy (Health), Sturdy (Weight), Strength (Melee),(This is displayed on the structure.) each time the server restarts, that will give a bonus percentage for that atribute to the amount of coin given.
  • It does a Health Check (see description bellow) on every dino purchased and only giving full price for those that are in good health and well fed.
  • It does a Base Age Check (see description bellow) on every dino.
  • Adds value to dinos by using their stat points. The higher the points in each ot the three Atributes the more value it adds.
  • This mod has lots of customization options to allow it to work for most servers.

Some of the options are:
You can choose the dinos that can be sold. (Works with modded or vanilla dinos.)
You can choose a base value for each type of dino that can be sold.
You can choose the type of coin paid out. (You don\'t even have to use a coin you could use thatch or anything really) (There is a silver coin included in the mod if you don\'t have any coinage on your server.)

All of this together helps promote time spent on the server.
It promotes taming and breeding to get the most ot of every dino.
No more just find a lower level dino or just add some points and sell it because level and stats don\'t really matter that much.
It provides a reason to tame some of the not really useful dinos and to breed them for the best attributes.


Now for a little more detail on how the system works.

Health check:
This is done by comparing the max and current, health and food. If they are under certain percent of maximum it deems them either unhealthy or not well fed in they incur a penalty for that condition.

Base Age (Level) Check:
This is done by checking at what level was it in the wild or what level it was born at. It does not matter how many levels have been added by taming or leveling them up. It will not purchase dinos under this level. (this can be changed via an INI setting)

Calculating the dinos value:
This is done by starting with a base value for that type of dino (there is an INI setting for using a per dino type base value or a flat base value) then it calculates an additional percentage to add to the base value by using stat points in Health,Weight and Melee. Like in the base age check it does not take in account the levels that have been added by taming or leveling them up. (this can be changed via an INI setting) then it adds any bonuses from either of the dino a day or attribute of the day. It will then apply any health or not well fed penalty's to the total additional value.

At what level is the station engram studied and what is it called in the game? Something I never found her ...

Thank you, will join the server and post pictures and my ini settings as soon as I get home

What INI settings do you have? It's best to ask those types of questions in my discord (link in the description) as you can send pics and i watch it closer.

I have the mod loaded and working but I have 2 issues.

For one, every dino is being sold as the base price, their stats dont seem to be influencing the price at all. The other issue is that the display board just has a staticky texture and no actual text.

Please see spawn code discussion.

are there any spawn codes?

Well because stats can very a lot so it's hard to say for sure as there is a lot of math involved but i'd say on average if not the dino of the day from my testing was around 50 to 90 percent bonus.

To follow up, I am looking to have something like a lvl 100 bronto caught in the wild to sell on average for about 500 coins or so.

This is absolutely wonderful! A perfect addition to our server. I am getting to work right now adding this to our NPC trade city and tweaking the prices. Well done, really well done.

Just out of curiosity, about how much of a bonus % can be expected based on a dino's stats? This will help me determine a good starting place for the prices.
