Sounds a bit odd, but has anyone tried to create a gun merchant spawner? Or would like to give pointers how to?
You could change the npc type in the spawner. I believe the basic "merchant" type will have random guns and swords for sale. Code: "npcTypeOptions" : ["merchant"],
Or you could copy the merchant npc file and rename it to gunmerchant. Then change the following in the npctype file: Code: line 2: "type" : "gunmerchant", line 139: "categories" : [ "randomguns" ], Lastly, change the spawner npctypeoptions to "gunmerchant"
Well that actually worked. Extremely well, might I add. Now my remaining problem is...the guns, the seem to do hardly any damage at all. is that a result of the patch or do values need to be modified?
This is likely due to the level of planet you're on. The guns will get better depending on what level planet it is.
I believe that is because the merchant is selling common random weapons. Starting at line 228 in the merchant.npctype you could adjust the values to something better and maybe adjust the cost for stronger weapons. For example: Code: "randomguns" : [ [0, [ { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "uncommonassaultrifle" } }, "cost" : 750 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "rareassaultrifle" } }, "cost" : 1000 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "legendaryassaultrifle" } }, "cost" : 1500 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "uncommonpistol" } }, "cost" : 375 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "rarepistol" } }, "cost" : 700 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "legendarypistol" } }, "cost" : 1000 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "uncommonmachinepistol" } }, "cost" : 375 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "raremachinepistol" } }, "cost" : 700 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "legendarymachinepistol" } }, "cost" : 1000 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "uncommonshotgun" } }, "cost" : 750 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "rareshotgun" } }, "cost" : 1000 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "legendaryshotgun" } }, "cost" : 1500 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "uncommonsniperrifle" } }, "cost" : 750 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "raresniperrifle" } }, "cost" : 1000 }, { "item" : { "name" : "generatedgun", "data" : { "definition" : "legendarysniperrifle" } }, "cost" : 1500 } ]] ],
Indeed, sir, you were correct. Now is it possible to somehow modify any of the existing spawners into a new object to make a seperate gun merchant spawner>
That should be the easy part. Just rename a copy of the spawner object and the .png. Then edit the spawner object file to have the correct name, icon, and images.
Indeed! It worked. Now the question is...any way to get friendly guards to follow? Feel like having a good old fashioned bug hunt
Alright, new question. Is it just me, or have some of the bullets ceased to function properly travelling in slow motion before finally firing at normal speed? Anyone know if theres a config to check?
In the Starbound folder search for 'spawners", open that folder. find the file named "spawner_tools", open it with a text editor, then scroll donw till you find where it says "npcTypeOptions" : [ "gunmerchant" ], It will say something different so change it to say that. I had the same problem but was able to fuigure if out, so np.
Has anyone tried this on a server? It would be cool to have a personal legendary gun seller in my ship and everyone will be asking to come to my ship just to buy the guns xD. Btw, I've tried changing commonpistol blah blah blah to legendarypistol and stuff but it doesnt increase the damage only makes the gun legendary. Anyone help?
