You are a legend. The traders without this mod are just plain stupid and broke the game mechanics. Having done 2 playthroughs with this mod, I can't recommend it enough. It is brilliant.

Hi! I'm using your mod with the B&S optional patch but some items that are supposed to be in certain merchants can't be found there. For Example Meeker the outskirts merc trader is supposed to have some B&S silencers and leupold tac kit but he doesn't. I even checked the file for meeker and the items are in there but they don't appear ingame for him for some reason. And i've got 2k+ reputation with Mercs too...

I would hope those optional files for certain features comes back. I don't like the idea of being able to buy the tools kits so easily.

I simply combined it all as a way to simplify all of the potential comparability files. However, with that being said, I am making some guides on how to adjust the trader files for those who would like to adjust out these things. Not sure If I'm going to bring any of those back however... Sorry about that.

Congratulations with this sort of "Completness" and "Official Release". I've been using your add-on since v1.03, and out of 10 pages of add-ons for Anomaly, it's one of the most well done and important ones.
Also, really like that the complexicity has been cut down a bit, cause latest versions were starting to get slightly out of hand with all the folders and compatibility patches.
Hopefully people won't immideately overwhelm you with requests for patches and merges, and will let you rest a bit. Congrats one more time.

Thank you for the flattery! With that being said I honestly didn't mind the comparability files in of themselves as much as I minded all of the different optional files which were clogging things up. It REALLY needed to be cut down a little so that's exactly what I did. I will still likely add them in the future but I have to see which ones people are actually using before I do anything too extensive. Again, thanks for enjoying the addon! And great addon yourself!

But I will stay with the prior version due to BaS compatibility and patiently wait for the new patch.

Its one of the reasons I'm still keeping the older version up for those who want those files still. I don't blame you. Like I said I will add some of those files in the future I just wanted to start fresh with all of that stuff.

where can i download the previous version compatible with BaS?. BaS has a patch for V 1.19 normal but cant find it on addons section. Is that patch working on 1.20.1?

Great work by the way!

To be honest I have never played Warfare and never tested it out for it either. Sadly I cannot say as I don't play Warfare mode... But with that being said I don't see why it wouldn't work. Please do tell me if it does however, as I'm generally interested to find out.

I may add something of that sort or at least add a few traders who do that. Regardless if you want you can edit the files as you see fit. Added a guide about traders that goes into good, but simple detail how they work and how to edit them.

Barkeeper now sells them. However, a few traders sell one or two like the Travel Suit or Wastelander ones. I'm actually adding Loris I think to the list of people who sell them just to add a little more depth there. However, as of right now its pretty much Barkeeper.

Note: Oh, and I just looked and nearly forgot! So does Cashier! He sells them as well!

This mod is absolutely amazing! Though, I would really like an optional file that makes all the traders neutral, or at least somehow protects them from stray mutant/monolith attacks. I hate finding out that sometime during my playthough dushman got secretly eaten by a pseudogiant. Thank you!

Yeah, I can do a version where ALL of the traders are neutral in the future. I have one which has only a few turned neutral so that wouldn't be hard to do.

New here, and looking forward to giving this a try. Skimmed the guide and may have missed it, but install instructs and how to implement optional files? I see they are a series of nested folders within a 'gamedata' so think I can muddle through, but (HARD) and (Main Folder) are mutually exclusive versions, or is (HARD) added to (Main...)? What do you do with the tier files - are they only for reference outside of the game? Does mod install require starting a new game?

Maybe dumb observation from noob, but seems to me that default Anomaly prices for <everything> are a factor of x10 at least, and arguably some unreasonably so: 600+ RU for "bread crumbs" etc? LOL. Thank you S!

To answer your first question the Hard file should be installed OVER the main folder. I should honestly put it back into the Optional files foe ease of understanding there. So If you want to use optional files then simply take the folder you need (Normal or HARD version when necessary) and overwrite anything it ask to.

As for the guide it is simply a guide for adjusting the traders files as needed. The Tier files are more for myself but also as a way to show How I have done the weapon tier system. They are both of no use In game and are mostly for modding purposes.

As for the final part, sadly that's something more innate with the game. I could adjust those things but trust me... It's best the way it is.

No! That's the beauty of this addon. All you have to do is overwrite. However, take note that you may have to wait for the restock cycle to pass before the stock of some traders change.

"No, all traders will buy damaged goods. That effects everyone. "
This is not my experience with mod installed, unless the mod simply moves the sale threshold up, e.g. I cannot sell guns in the mid- to high 40% range (yellow), so is it only above 50% or only certain merchants?

Its an optional files not the main addon file. That is probably why it isn't working as you intended.

Sorry for the late response. It is an optional file in this addon so the initial traders DO NOT buy broken stuff.

I was able to sell Sid some broken pistols, however I tried to sell him a shotgun that was seriously damaged and he would not buy it.

If the weapons are really badly damaged will Sid not buy them?

Additionally he would not buy the damaged suit.

Hmm... Not sure why that's the case... May require a new game for that to work. I would wait till the new stock cycle has passed and if it doesn't work then it probably needs a new game for it to work.

Any chance to compatibility patch for BaS?

I'm getting a crash nearly allways when opening a guide magazine. I'm not sure if that is related to item_letters.ltx, but the game is stable otherwise. Only happens when I want to look for required item parts in the guides. I think it's wthe engineer's guide, but not entirely sure. However, I'm still using the older version, that has a BaS patch included.

I may in the near future come out with a BaS patch unless someone does it before me...

As for your second question yeah, I have noticed that myself. Not sure what would be causing it. I'm currently testing it to see HOW it happens but I don't get a log telling me any issue has happened at all so its not easy. I'll probably try WITH and WITH OUT the file and see what happens. I'll get back to you when I find a solution.
