(1.0) LittleRedSonja Shopping Time!

[LittleRedSonja]

Hi!

 

Operating from the secret zombie-free island of Banana Haven, Sonja Shopping Service is back in business. After most of our competition went out of business (because, you know, zombie apocalypse and all) we are now world wide leaders in online shopping services (in fact, we are the ONLY online shopping service).

 

Buy from an exclusive selection of items from the comfort of your home, using one of our modern terminals.

 

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor zombies or dire wolfs stays our unpaid interns from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. Operating our fleet of next gen drones they will deliver your goodies to your doorstep in no time!

 

This small mod adds a craftable "Online Shopping Terminal" that allows you to buy, 24/7, from a selection of rare, difficult to find or highly demanded items, such as solar cells, engines, learning elixirs, acid, duct tape, candies and much much more. 

If you have the coin, we have the stuff! It is Shopping Time!

 

 

Like all my other mods so far, this mod is "Server-side-only friendly" (if you play multiplayer the mod only need to be installed in the server, if you play single player install the mod as usual).

 

Is there anything else you would like to see available for buying? Is there anything that is not needed? Do you have suggestions to balance or make the mod more fun to use? Let me know in the comments! 🥰

 

I hope you enjoy the mod, and if you find issues or have suggestions let me know  💜

 

Frequently asked questions: 

 

1- Is your mod compatible with X, Y or Z mod? : As far as I know my mod should be compatible with most other mods for 7DTD, including of course all my other mods. Mods adding additional custom traders might cause issues if they use the same ID I am using in my mod. This should be easy to fix though, so if you encounter this problem let me know and I will guide you on how to edit the ID number to something else (or you can do it yourself if you know how). 

 

2- Can the mod be used server side only?: Yes, the mod can be used both server side only (so if the server where you play have it installed you do not need to install it yourself) or client side (if you play solo instead of multiplayer then you install the mod as usual).

How to EDIT MOD SETTINGS for "Shopping Time" mod by LittleRedSonja

 

I want my mods to be as customizable as possible, so everybody can enjoy them they way they want. For this reason I have made it very easy to tweak the main settings, even for people with no knowledge of coding. The only thing you need is a text editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++ or any other that can open and save xml files.

Remember, like always with my mods, that any edits you make are for your PERSONAL USE ONLY, do not redistribute it. If you want to add an edited version of the mod to for example a mod collection or a mod overhaul let me know what edits you want and I will make an alternative version or a "post-load add-on" for you, but please ASK ME FIRST.

 

Here is a short step by step guide:

 

1- Look at the pictures included in the "Images" section of the nexus mod page, or in the mod topic in 7 days to die official forums. The provide visual aid so it will be even easier for you to follow this "tutorial". In the next update of the mod I will include this small "tutorial" and the pictures inside the download for easy reference. 
2- Open my mod folder. Inside it you will see a "Config" folder (picture 1). Open it.
3- Inside the "Config" folder you will see several files. Ignore all of it, and just locate the file called "traders.xml"(picture 2).
4- Open the file using Notepad, Notepad++ or any other software capable of opening and saving xml files.
5- Inside the file you will see a lot of text and weird stuff, ignore all of it and scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN to the end of the file. 
6- Once there you will see a trader reference, with an ID=11 (picture 3).
7- In the same line of text you will see 2 values. One says "reset interval" (marked in YELLOW in picture 3), and the other "override buy markup" (marked in ORANGE in picture 3).
8- "Reset interval" indicates how often the shopping terminal "restocks" it's inventory, in terms of game days. Bigger numbers means it will restock less often. My default value in v 1.0.0 of the mod is "1". That means it restocks daily. If you change that number to for example 7, that means it will restock once per week. 
9- "Override buy markup" indicates how cheap or expensive the items will be. My default value in v. 1.0.0 of the mod is "3". This is also the price markup for all the vanilla traders in game. It indicates that you will be charged "3 times" the economic value of the item. For example if an item has an economic value of 1000 dukes in the game, you will have to pay 3000 dukes when buying it. Lower numbers means cheaper prices, and higher numbers means more expensive prices. For example if you change that number to 5, the item will cost 5000 dukes instead of 3000 dukes. If you change the number to 1 the item will cost 1000 dukes (same as its economic value). 
10- Once you have edited the numbers to your liking, "save" the file. Do not change file name or anything else. 
11- Enjoy the mod with the settings you like.

 

In incoming updates more "settings" values will be included for you to adjust the mod to your liking 😊

 

If despite this tutorial you have trouble tweaking the settings feel free to ask me, I am always happy to help! 🥰

 

Enjoy the mod and have a nice day! 💜

Optional add-ons adding more buyable products can be found in the "optional files" category in Nexus mods, and as a one zip file in SimFileShare for people not using Nexus.

Including this stuff in the form of optional add-ons (and not in the "core" mod) makes the mod more flexible, so you can choose what stuff will be available in the mod and what stuff will not. That way you can enjoy the mod the way you want.

 

I will be adding more things depending on requests and feedback. 

 

I hope you enjoy it💜.
