Pre-war money

[Nick]

Suggestion: Epic Pre-War money like Yen or Dollars or whatever as an item similar to tokens.
Why it would be worth adding: Could serve as an alternate currency for the underground, since Union tokens would probably be unpopular for their clear association with the union, and great availability, which means any loyalist Joe can just farm tokens and get some stuff from people willing to trade.
Necessary content: Coding, you already have the tokens as items thing, just make another script like that, call it something like pre-war Yen or Pre-War Money, etc. and make it have a random spawn chance, and distribute it in events to get the economy going.

that's not quite how it works, i'm afraid... tokens is a built in system with cw, while it can be renamed, i don't think it can be duplicated easily

personally, i think its unnecessary, players will most likely stick to bartering, favours, and (albeit rarely) tokens
rebels who find themselves unable or unwilling to see the light of day will probably not accept tokens for payment, as you'd expect

I'd imagine it might be easy but I'm fucking retarded. You just need it to be an inventory item. It doesn't have to be you hitting F1 and seeing "YOU HAVE 20 YEN, 5 DOLLARS, 20 TOKENS" but instead just have a stackable (if that's possible, easy my ass sorry) item with zero use.
Description being "It's a Pre-War Dollar, from the once-United States of America. You have X of them.", and whenever you obtain more, the description X changes to the sum.

That'd probably be hell to code and super easy to exploit in the first bit. But you can let organizations determine their worth. Perhaps a BMD only deals in dollars, or a resistance group only in Yen. Maybe have John Wick tokens, idfk.

tokens have literally been made into an item by aspect, all it takes is for him to copy some of the code and rename certain things, remove some functions etc.

bartering is good and all, but there's a reason humans stopped bartering and started using cash, if you don't have something that someone clearly wants you're shit out of luck, even then, all money wouldn't just disappear and it'd make sense for there to be some kind of less common currency.

tokens are already an item in your inventory.

Aspect could just copy paste some code and modify certain details to make this work.

The money could be displayed next to tokens in the inventory.


Really does nobody read the trello or read the sneak-peek channel?

Not how it works.
Regardless, people have complained about the very existence of tokens in the first place, and adding a second currency (albeit unofficial) would make things even worse.

Could serve as an alternate currency for the underground, since Union tokens would probably be unpopular for their clear association with the union, and great availability, which means any loyalist Joe can just farm tokens and get some stuff from people willing to trade.

Actually, no.
Tokens won't be as available as on your average HL2RP server. They will be more rare and more realistic in terms of availability and use.
Gone are the days of "/me places 450 tokens on the counter "yeah can I get a beer"".

If and when we decide to give people custom items, dollar bills could be one of them.
But outside of that, Denied.
