Promotion - QoL

Retro Rewind – Promotion QoL

Automatically distributes flyers to all walking by NPCs outside the store,

so you don't have to hand them out manually one by one.

  How It Works

  When you flip the Open/Closed sign, the mod finds all walking by NPCs currently

  outside and triggers the flyer interaction for each one. NPCs that spawn

  while the store is open are queued and receive their flyer after a short

  In game delay.

  Each NPC reacts naturally — some will say "Oh, I love movies!" and head

  toward the store, others will refuse. The conversion chance is read directly

  from the game's AI Director and reflects your store's popularity and

  decoration level. A fully upgraded store has a higher chance than a new one.

  Note: It is unclear whether the game's AI Director compensates for the

  additional customers generated by flyers. You may not see a significant

  spike in customer numbers compared to distributing flyers manually.

  If you want to experiment, you can set a custom conversionRate in the

  config (see below).

  Configuration

  Open main.lua in a text editor and edit the CONFIG section at the top:

  local CONFIG = {

  flyerDelay    = 14,  -- ingame minutes before giving flyer to new NPC

  conversionRate = nil,  -- nil = use native store popularity rate

  -- 0. 0 to 1. 0 = override (1. 0 = all NPCs accept)

  }"Store level and decoration contribute independently — a Level 20 store with no decoration will score significantly lower than one with both."| Option        | Description                                                        |

  |---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

  | flyerDelay    | How many ingame minutes to wait before giving a flyer to a new NPC |

  | conversionRate| nil = native rate, 0. 0 – 1. 0 = custom rate, 1. 0 = all accept       |

  Technical Notes (for curious modders)

  • []OpenSign_C:Change Sign — detects store opening[/]

    []WeatherSystem_C:Timer Event - Add one minute — processes NPC queue[/]

    []AIDirectorC:Return Weight Chance of Spawning AI by Store Popularity and Deco — native conversion chance[/]

    []AIWalkByCharacter_C:Walker Accept the flyer / Walker refuse the flyer — triggers native NPC reaction[/]

    []AIWalkByCharacter_C:Transform the Walker into a Client — counted to track customer conversions[/]

    []NotifyOnNewObject on AIWalkByCharacter_C — queues newly spawned NPCs[/]

  The conversion chance scales with store popularity: a small new store returns

  ~0. 11, a fully upgraded store returns ~0. 27. This reflects the game's

  intended balance.
