Description

Fun little script that lets you apply sales tax to NPC vendors in any town region. Easily customizable for your own preferred tax values, or even your own custom map.

Features
  • Easily customizable.
  • Full console readout upon load.
Installation

Drop the contents of the "Distros" folder into your Scripts folder. The distro files consist of: BaseVendor.cs, TownRegion.cs. Put Taxes.xml in your Data folder. Put the rest of the files in your custom scripts folder. Recompile and enjoy!
If you want to edit the tax values, or change it for your custom map, see the tutorial HERE.

Future Plans
  • Active XML reading (ability to change tax values in XML files and not have to recompile).
Thank you for using this script, I hope you enjoy it!

this is a great idea!!!! i will be installing it over the next few days

with the race towns i have coming in soon - this will be a nice addition so they can charge "less tax" to their fellow racemen (is that a word lol) with out having to make up a bunch of race vendors with different pricing

by the way - does it also "tax" them on items they sell to the vendors?

Edit Tutorial

This short explanation will hopefully help you guys understand how XML works so you can tailor this to your own shard :)

Editing Taxes
  1. You need to open the Taxes.xml file in your Data folder. Internet Explorer is set to open it by default, but to edit it you'll need to right-click the file and select "Edit".
  2. The default file is seen here:
    Code: 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<!-- /**************************************

     *Revision Date: 01/06/06              *
     **************************************/ -->

<!-- Taxes can only be applied to Town regions.
     The names of the towns MUST be spelled EXACTLY
     how they are spelled in the Regions.xml file,
     otherwise it WON'T WORK.                   -->

<Taxes>
	<Facet name="Felucca">
		<Town name="Britain"           tax="20"/>
		<Town name="Cove"              tax="8" />
		<Town name="Jhelom"            tax="8" />
		<Town name="Minoc"             tax="13"/>
		<Town name="Ocllo"             tax="5" />
		<Town name="Trinsic"           tax="15"/>
		<Town name="Vesper"            tax="12"/>
		<Town name="Yew"               tax="10"/>
		<Town name="Wind"              tax="7" />
		<Town name="Serpent's Hold"    tax="0" />
		<Town name="Skara Brae"        tax="8" />

		<Town name="Buccaneer's Den"   tax="0" />
	</Facet>
	<Facet name="Trammel">
		<Town name="Britain"           tax="20"/>
		<Town name="Cove"              tax="8" />
		<Town name="Jhelom"            tax="8" />

	</Facet>
	<Facet name="Ilshenar">
		<Town name="Gargoyle City"     tax="10"/>
		<Town name="Lenmir Anfinmotas" tax="10"/>
		<Town name="Reg Volon"         tax="10"/>
		<Town name="Lake Shire"        tax="10"/>
		<Town name="Bet-Lem Reg"       tax="10"/>
		<Town name="Mistas"            tax="10"/>
	</Facet>
	<Facet name="Malas">
		<Town name="Luna"              tax="15"/>
		<Town name="Umbra"             tax="15"/>
	</Facet>
	<Facet name="Tokuno">
		<Town name="Zento"             tax="15"/>
	</Facet>
</Taxes>
    As you can plainly see, this is cascaded for easy organization.
  3. To edit the tax for Britain in Felucca, first find the Felucca Facet node:
    Code: 
    <Facet name="Felucca">
	<Town name="Britain"           tax="20"/>
	<Town name="Cove"              tax="8" />
	<Town name="Jhelom"            tax="8" />
	<Town name="Minoc"             tax="13"/>
	<Town name="Ocllo"             tax="5" />
	<Town name="Trinsic"           tax="15"/>
	<Town name="Vesper"            tax="12"/>
	<Town name="Yew"               tax="10"/>
	<Town name="Wind"              tax="7" />
	<Town name="Serpent's Hold"    tax="0" />
	<Town name="Skara Brae"        tax="8" />
	<Town name="Nujel'm"           tax="5" />
	<Town name="Moonglow"          tax="12"/>
	<Town name="Magincia"          tax="12"/>
	<Town name="Buccaneer's Den"   tax="0" />
</Facet>
    Then, just change the tax percentage inside the "Britain" Town sub-node:
    Code: 
    <Town name="Britain"           tax="[COLOR="blue"]20[/COLOR]"/>
    To whatever you desire.
  4. Save and close the Taxes.xml file. Recompile your shard to activate the changes.
Editing Regions (for custom maps)
  1. First, follow steps 1 and 2 in the "Editing Taxes" tutorial. Unless you have ripped apart the core and all other files in the server to reflect your actual custom map name, you will still use the default map names in this system (i.e. if you have replaced Felucca with your own custom map, you still use "Felucca" when accessing the regions within).
  2. My custom map replaces Malas, so I'm going to find the Malas Facet node:
    Code: 
    <Facet name="Malas">
	<Town name="Luna"              tax="15"/>
	<Town name="Umbra"             tax="15"/>
</Facet>
    And edit/add to it:
    Code: 
    <Facet name="Malas">
	<Town name="Zamora"              tax="20"/>
	<Town name="Port Shem"             tax="15"/>
	<Town name="Volcanite"             tax="10"/>
</Facet>

thanks for the little tutorial - that explains some of the other questions i was going to ask

1 other question though - does it work with towns only, or will it work with any region? like dungeons or regions in a box regions?

Nice script Joeku.

Heres an idea maybe make it where if not enough taxes collected from the npc vendors slowly the guards and other shop npcs despawn in that region.Then the town starts getting over ran by say forest spawn and monsters until players start buying stuff again to repopulate citizens of the town. Could be a mini gold sink kind of thing and give a reason for town use more.

It only works with town regions, but if you want to edit the core you can make it work with all regions ;)
It's actually a really easy edit, not nearly as ominous as it sounds *lol*
If you want to, PM me and I'll show you how.

Thanks :)
It might seem kind of selfish of me, but I only make stuff that I'm actually going to use. It's a neat idea but... it'd take a lot of work and, frankly, I wouldn't use it. It would only be good for a shard with a reasonable playerbase (most of them don't even grab scripts off of these forums...)
