Changing Currency

[McclaudEagle]

Hi everyone.

 

I've restarted a project that was initially aimed at Fallout 3, and started it in Fallout New Vegas. The project is aimed at redeveloping the Mojave to what it would have looked like before the war.

 

Now, I'm preparing all the stuff for it, but I want to be more careful than last time. So, does anyone know how to change the in-game currency?

 

Here's what I want to change:

 

I want to change the existing currency: Caps, into the Dollar (currently going to use Pre-War Money until new textures come out).

 

How do I do all that?

 

Thanks.

Shouldn't be too hard.

 

Based on the fact that a lot of items in game might be worth less than one dollar, I would change caps to cents

 

Cents:

• Use the Caps Item
  
• Do not change ID
  
• Change name to cents
  
• Keep value at 1
  

 

1 Dollar

• Create A Unique Caravan Money Type
  
• Based on NCR Dollar Probably
  
• Change Name to $1
  
• Value of 100 (the US uses decimalisation right? :mellow: )
  

 

You could then create several extra caravan money types

 

Distributing Notes

You could either change existing levelled item lists or create new ones. Personally I would Create new ones, just make sure you're thorough

That sounds like a good idea.

 

Although I think there would be one problem which I wouldn't know how to deal with.

 

Example:

 

Fresh Apples costs 20 Cents

 

M4 Assault Rifle costs $4000

 

How would I be able to make them run on different currency types?

Okay so you change currency to dollars and add a misc item [like the ncr money] called cents or pennies, each worth [[ .01 ]] simple enough, i'd love to see your mod come to fruition.

 

also in all desolate futures, apples are always expensive, like 20 bucks expensive ;P

I wouldn't use misc item, there's a new sub-type for NV called Caravan Money, which is used for NCR Dollars And Legion Denarus
