Gimme my money back - QoL

What it does

Changes the refund you receive when selling objects via the moving box (default key K).

The game natively pays out 50% of the purchase price. This mod scales that payout to the ratio configured in

config.lua, defaulting to a full 100% refund.

Requirements

• []UE4SS v3. 0. 1[/]

Installation

• []Copy the Gimme my money back - QoL folder into your UE4SS

  Mods directoryRetroRewind\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods[/]

  []Load your save.[/]

  []Pick up any object as a moving box.[/]

  []Press K to sell it.[/]

Configuration

Scripts/config.lua

sellRatio = 1. 0,   -- fraction of the purchase price you receive back

Debug     = false, -- set to true for verbose console output

sellRatio | Payout

0. 5           | 50% — game default (no change)

1. 0           | 100% — full refund (mod default)

0. 75         | 75% — three quarters

1. 5           | 150% — selling at a profit

Values above

1. 0are valid but not recommended for normal play.

sellRatioto exactly

0. 5makes the mod a no-op (hooks stay passive).

How it works

The game's sell chain runs through:

MovingBox_C:Init Sell

which calls:

Core_Gamemode_C:Change Money

with a hardcoded

0. 5factor.

There is no writable property available to override this factor directly.

The mod therefore uses a capture-and-top-up approach:

• []A pre-hook on

  Change Moneycaptures every positive credit (amount + timestamp).[/]

  Init Sellcallback fires immediately after the sale.[/]

  []The captured credit is validated (within 250 ms).[/]

  []The mod calculates the difference to the configured ratio.[/]

  []A separate top-up payment is issued through

  Change Money[/]

  The top-up runs on the next game-thread tick via:

  ExecuteInGameThread

  As a result, players will see two entries in the transaction log (for example

  $75 + $75instead of

  $150), while the final balance remains correct.

  Notes

  • []Two bookings: The native payout and the top-up are separate transactions. This is intentional and cannot be avoided without engine-level access to the hardcoded factor.[/]

    []Aborted sales: If a sale is blocked (for example because an object is not empty), no payment occurs and no top-up is issued.[/]

    []Negative top-ups: Setting

    sellRatiobelow

    0. 5deducts money after the sale. Negative values are handled natively by

    Change Money[/]

    []Save reload: Internal state is reset whenever a save is loaded via a WeatherSystem:ReceiveBeginPlay hook.[/]
