📋 About This Mod

Update 1. 3 (Compatible with Game Update 3. 10)

Added all paint mods to the inventory of traders. This should make future paint mods available to be purchased from the station traders. In the event the menu breaks, I will update the mod again.

Minor change from initial 1. 2 Update:

If you have recently downloaded 1. 2 version, download again and remove the paintmodsforsale directory from your extensions folder before unzipping the mod. New update packages the mod in an ext_01.cat file to make future updates easier on the end user. New users need not do this.

Traders will no longer carry paint mods in their general inventory, instead they will have a new menu called paint mods. Said menu will only display paint mods and this should help reduce inventory clutter. A side note, traders need to reinitialize in order for changes to reflect on your game. Which means, you need to travel to a different station to see the changes.

1. 2 Update:

It seems Egosoft intended to distribute paint jobs with the Venture system. As people who would like the sense of accomplishment associated with the paint jobs would probably get them through there, I have removed the price adjustment starting from the 1. 2 update. If you are updating from an earlier version, you can remove the wares.xml file within the paintjobsforsale/libraries folder to revert paint jobs' price to 1 credit each.

Note: Newly added paint jobs can be found under the media section. They are applied on a Nemesis instead of Mercury.

This is untested as any other mod. Backup your save file before applying any mod. I am not liable for lost profitsssss or anything else.

Mod alters the prices of paint mods to give a sense of achievement to player when they purchase a paint job. If you are unhappy with this, delete the wares.xml file from the mod to revert to original prices. Originally all paint mods cost only 1 credit.

Installation Instructions:

Create a folder called extensions within the same directory as your X4.exe file.

Place the mod folder under extensions directory.

Traders need to reinitialize their inventory. You need to travel to a different station if you are already on a station with a trader spawned.
