Buying Ww Engine

[Yixie ツ]

I'm having issues buying the engine for the car when i go to mechanic.
I'm probably doing something wrong but i wanted to see if anyone have a solution to my problem :)

you not only need cash now but equal amount of fame points to buy stuff now as how they have it setup

[Yixie ツ]

Okey but i tested adding fame points and it still did'nt work :/

Hey there OP, there is also a limit to how many functional vehicles can be on the server, you can change that in the serversettings.ini, if the number of vehicles is already reached that can be functional you will not be able to purchase an engine, or if a number of engines on the map is already equal to a number of functional vehicles.

Doh! I thought the Functional setting was how many cars spawned that would run from the getgo. Well, I say if I have 50 cars on the server, then 50 cars are functional. That's just silly. Another change to make. I want to find enough parts and buy enough stuff to fill my SP world with a used car lot in B2. Yeah!

One player bought 1 engine on our server. No body else has been able to buy an engine. So we made all the rides functional, they just have to finish with doors, seats, bumpers.
We had 3 admins go on a test server we started and went to all 4 traders with a car needing an engine and we can't put one in even with 10000 fame 10000 money and advanced engineering!

Have your cracker-jack Admins turned this requirement off: "only-after-player-sale-tradeable-availability-enabled - Some items can be enabled to be accessible only once they are sold to traders"

We did that after trying to sell functional cars to each trader didn't work and we can all buy engines now.

is turning it off -1?

I think ours was on "1" and we set it to "0".... maybe a Dev can confirm?

1 is enabled and 0 is disabled.

Our server has it on 0 and we can't buy an enigne, working car limit is also not reached in any way.

You have to have like 2500 FP too... like... a lot

Hey guys just to clarify this issue, so you have the:
-MaxVw server setting = how many will spawn on the map
-Max functional vw server setting = how many can have the engine, if all engine slots are full you can no longer buy the engine
-Max VW purchased = how many you can buy (this setting is standalone and doesn't have anything to do with first two)

Also if you currently can't buy the engine (or sell it) make sure you remove the battery and the alternator first, then you can buy or sell the engine.

On our test server we are playing around with these settings and so far EVERY car that has spawned has had an engine in it, so far, havn't been to all of them yet, they are still missing other parts so the players will get to use the find it and fix it gameplay but at least they wont be pushing a car to a trader just to find out they cant buy the engine.

Max is set to 0
Max functional is set to 40
Max Purchase = 20


On our active server we were getting tired of the mess so we ended up just setting Max to 0 and Max functional to 0 and set Max Purchase = 60 and lowered the price. If our test server ends up working like we think it does we will switch those settings over to our active server.

Now SCUM look more like "Running simulator" Run forest run ... :p

Good to know, but that every car spawns with an engine is not really a lsoution to a bad system, that takes a lot out of the entire loop.

Yup, but it's a quick fix and make's our admins lives alot easier :-)

Players don't know, don't ask and don't read!
They find a car with no engine and they start pushing it like the were told!
Then they push it into something and can't move it anymore cause there is no way to reverse push it.
Finally they find one and get it onto the lift and they crash the server!
Then they don't know you need fame to buy an engine!
The shop wont sell one cause their mechanic system for buying engines is broke!
:::::
No one reads so no one knows to fix up a car you need 1 the car, 2 a car repair kit with 2 hits per part needed, 3 a car jack and to put the ride into service mode, 4 MEDIUM ENGINEERING
People don't know that you just can't install the engine cause the mechanic wont sell one cause the system is broke then you need an alternator and a battery also.
:::::::::::::
That is why we are trying to spawn all the cars with engines cause their system is BROKE!
