Drastic Slowdown Refresh Rate of Shop Inventory

[laclongquan]

This is a question of mod, or a function in a big mod.

I want to ask if there's any mod to Drastic Slowdown the Refresh Rate of Shops' Inventory. For Fallout 2.

Money can be left untouched, as it can be a liquidity problem. We dont need to carry tons of crappy weapons.

But weapons, specifically ammo, is another matter. We need to drastically lower its avaibility on markets.

Why? Post Apocalyptic Setting. I wan to scavenge ammo for my guns, use the crappy stuffs for normal battles and bring out the best stuffs for important ones. I want some immershun of resource scarcity in a world rebuilt from Terrible War.

Currently it has some refresh rate of a few weeks game-time, I think.

If you want to reduce restock rate of the whole stock, it's super easy. Edit appropriate merchant script (look for lines like set_local_var(LVAR_Restock_Time, ... )) and change time. If you need only the ammo, you can change the probability of ammo appearing at stock. Just study the scripts, it's obvious.

And if noone make it, I might have to take that up myself. Starting from scratch. I am mod-newbie.

What I would like is some mods already done that.

1) Download latest modderspack
2) Extract "Script Editor" from the archive
3) Download either RP sources if you want RP-compatible mod, or search for vanilla script sources (there are 2 downloads - initial version and a patch)
4) Use script editor to open and edit the appropriate script. Set up your data/scripts folder in editor options. Use F8 to compile.
5) You can test recompiled script by loading a savegame (though you will probably need save editor to test more easily)
