[Release] XP Tax

[dekela 129]

What is XP Tax? Well, when a player purchases anything from a trader be it  gear, weapons or vehicles, some of their XP or respect is removed as a tax. The amount of XP Tax is calculated using the quality level and purchase price of the item. Level 1 item/gear is 1% of the purchase price, level 6 is 6% of purchase price.

Why have XP Tax? Many times players reach the respect cap of items and then can sit back and buy as many high tier items as they like. With XP Tax, they will need to maintain their respect in order to continue buying these items. As their respect level drops from purchases, they will need to grind out more XP via missions or sale of vehicles etc. Also, players will no longer buy respect locked items for other players, as they themselves will lose the respect by doing so.

XP Tax is a way to prolong the end game of exile, by adding another element to the game that players need to continually accomplish.

How to install:

MAKE SURE TO BACK UP ALL FILES BEFORE COMMENCING WITH THESE CHANGES!!

If you dont already have one, create an 'overrides' folder in your mission folder

Create the following 4 overwrite files with notepad++ and put them into the 'overrides' folder

If you already have overwrites for these files, you will need to merge the changes

open your config.cpp and edit CfgExileCustomCode to include:

class CfgExileCustomCode 
{
	ExileClient_system_trading_network_purchaseItemResponse = "overrides\ExileClient_system_trading_network_purchaseItemResponse.sqf";
	ExileClient_system_trading_network_purchaseVehicleResponse = "overrides\ExileClient_system_trading_network_purchaseVehicleResponse.sqf";
	ExileServer_system_trading_network_purchaseItemRequest = "overrides\ExileServer_system_trading_network_purchaseItemRequest.sqf";
	ExileServer_system_trading_network_purchaseVehicleRequest = "overrides\ExileServer_system_trading_network_purchaseVehicleRequest.sqf";
};

repbo the mission folder and upload to your server.

Hope you enjoy

i wass thinking the same.

i work with millions on my server. wen people reach target max respect the get bored. so now the lose respect and hopefully keep playing
it keeps people busy if the want to buy a jet of 6 mill now the lose 300k respect. and they don't mind

[dekela 129]

I've been running this for some time now and most players are fine with the idea. The only ones who have complained are the one who complain about everything. 

[geekm0nkey 144]

Anyone (other than author) able to get this to work? I tried and it threw an error.. love the Idea, would like to make it work.. I did have to merge one file with one i already had but it seems it was just the toast message and shouldnt have cause this error.

Edited February 8, 2018 by geekm0nkey

Error, issue is its mixed in with another scripts entries.. All other mod have been flawless prior. This error stopped the server at this point. Don't think there is much you can conclude from this.

ok as for the merge.. That's a bit odd. I'm using the Chernarus Silver Edition Mission file. It came with a folder called. \Overwrites\Fixes\TraderFixes which has an overwrite of ExileServer_system_trading_network_purchaseVehicleRequest.sqf which contains...

With me so far? i did check, this file and it is significantly different then the default file.. But work on my server. this is the one I had to merge with this mods file of the same name. My thinking is that being this mod is over a year old that the 4 files in question have been updated?

Update: have a bit more time, will try again with more careful merging. turns out there is a need to merge with 2 other mods not just one.

That error is being thrown by ZCP,  not XP Tax.  As for the file merge, while the files are different, merging the required code into the same place should work from what I can see. 

 

Just double checking you are merging the right files to each other, response to response,  request to request.
