Title: How to add weapons to the store?
Post by: wolf619 on March 27, 2018, 05:54:41 pm

I'm playing final mod and I see there is an ak47, uzi and RPG launcher in common but I can't figure out how to add them to the store. I've added them to my starting base but they are blue and you can't buy more. How can I make these guys buyable (and preferably white on the buy screen)??
thanks in advance for your help!

find AK 47 in the ruleset and assign it a buy cost different than zero, e.g.:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_AK47
    size: 0.2
    costBuy: 1550      # added this
    costSell: 1550
    weight: 9
    bigSprite: 162

you can't change the colors... no idea why would you want that anyway... blue/purple are used for showing items in the store and white is used for items you are ordering at the moment

Hi Meridian

Does this hack work in "The X-Com Files"? I changed the code in file "items_XCOMFILES.rul" like you mentioned here, by adding the line "costBuy: 5000" but nothing happened. I tried both with plasma beams and napalm grenades.

By the way I think you should be able to create factories for making all kinds of stuff, at the expense of... money! I mean, later in the game when you're uber-rich it's weird that you can't just buy this stuff and still have to manufacture it  :P

It's not a hack, it's a normal modding feature.

It should work everywhere.
Unless there are other (normal) attributes potentially preventing purchase of items.

PS: btw. if you have a zip file with the mod still around, changes in the extracted files will have no effect, because the mod will be loaded directly from the original zip file
