(Deprecated) Drop Fees

Works with game version: 1. 1. 323

Installation:

Download and unzip the main file. Place the unzipped folder containing a mod.json, Paks folder, etc. into the Mods folder of your MW5 installation (discard the Nexus created folder that has numbers at the end of the mod name). You can go in-game to Mods at the main menu and click the Manual-install folder if you're having trouble finding it. Final install path should look like Mechwarrior5\MW5Mercs\Mods\DropFees

Details:

• []Removes tonnage limit for a fee

  []Option to only add fees for excess tonnage

  []Base fee rate affected by the current employer's faction standing (worse standings mean higher rates)

  []Going over the tonnage limit will incur an exponential extra cost per ton

  []Works with generated and campaign missions

  Download Mod Options to configure options in-game

  Options stored in :

  %LocalAppData%\MW5Mercs\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Game.ini

  For users not using ModOptions or having other issues

  ExcessDropFeeOnly=False

  ExcessOnlyBaseFee=42500       ;0-250000, Adds flat fee when using excess only and going over limit

  DropFeeRate=750  ;0-10000

  FactionAdjustment=50   ;0-1000

  ExponentialRate=1. 125     ;1. 0-2. 0

  For those that want to fiddle with values for their own balancing, here's the general equation:

  Adjusted Fee Rate (AFR) = (DropFeeRate - FactionAdjustment EmployerPoints)

  Drop Fee = (AFR CurrentTonsUpToLimit) + (AFR ExcessTons)^ExponentialRate

  Ex: (750 fee rate - 50 faction adjustment 3 standing) = 600 cbills per ton

  (600 200 ton limit) + (600 20 excess tons )^ 1. 125 ~= 158,822 drop fee

  Default values are set to encourage only going 5-50 tons over limit without taking too much away from mission reward.

  Notes:

  On first install you need to travel to a different system to regenerate scenarios and remove tonnage limits.
