This is a WIP / Dev version of my upcoming mod, Quest and Merchant, designed for use with AiEnabled. The final version will also require MES for use with the Quest Giver bot.

Current Features:

  • Provides the ability to spawn one of several Merchant bots at any station that can be interacted with to purchase various items, depending on the type of merchant. Scroll down for information about configuring items and prices!
  • The types of merchants and what they sell are:[list]
  • General: a general store merchant that sells a random selection from everything
  • Component: sells an assortment of build components
  • Weapons: sells weapons and ammunition
  • Grocer: sells consumables
  • Bot: sells bot materials

[*] Provides the ability to spawn a Quest Giver bot at any station that can be interacted with to accept custom quests. [list] [*] NOTE: Currently, the Quest Giver only has ONE test quest available and may not be suitable for player groups or servers. This bot is NOT finished and details will be fleshed out in the future. [*] There will also be a config that allows others to generate their own custom quests that can be ingested by the mod and available for acceptance. Stay tuned! [/list][/list]

By default, both the Merchant and Quest bots will auto-spawn at trade stations that are protected by a safe zone whenever a player comes near the station, and will auto-despawn when there are no players nearby to conserve resources.

Commands:

To bring up the in-game help menu for spawning, type /qm ? or /qm help (also below)


Spawn: spawns a merchant or quest giver with the following usage

  spawn -r Role [-t MerchantType] [-i IdleMvmt] [-a AutoPosition]

  -r  Role: Merchant or Quest

  -t  Merchant Type: General, Bot, Weapon, Grocer, or Component.
      Does nothing if spawning quest giver. [Default = General]

  -i  Allow idle movement: True or False [Default = true]

  -a  Automatically position bot after spawn: True or False.
      False = bot spawns in front of player [Default = true]

Merchant Customization:

To customize which items are allowed to be sold by merchants as well as their prices, locate the ItemSettings.cfg file in the World Save folder and adjust to your liking! Example below:


<!-- ItemSettings.cfg -->

  <ItemSetting>
    <DefinitionId Type="MyObjectBuilder_AmmoMagazine" Subtype="FlareClip" />
    <Allowed>false</Allowed>
    <ItemPrice>19</ItemPrice>
  </ItemSetting>
