Ration Cards

Description
Inspired by the Last of Us, this mod adds ration cards for use in multiplayer roleplay economies.

Features:
  • The ration card, meal card and ration card stamp items.
  • The Paperwork Weekly skill magazine to learn the recipe to make those.
  • A stamping mechanic to place a unique identifier on every ration card or meal card using a stamp. This allows a shopkeeper, storeroom clerk, etc. to verify if a card has been approved by their settlement.
  • Ration cards and meal cards can be burned.


Credits:
  • Many thanks to the folks on the Project Zomboid Discord for my many questions about Zomboid modding and working with lua.
  • And credit to Item Tooltip Expanded for the best example I could find of how to write a tooltip with variables; the code to display the stamp is closely based off that.
  • TLOU for the inspiration.

Hey, I'm afraid I'm not really familiar with the localisation for zomboid. However, the Project Zomboid discord has a mod development section where a lot of folks are normally very happy to help; hopefully someone is more familiar there.

Hi Rabbit Burgher, I have an error while translating your mod to my language. I use the override but when I enter the game the language is not showing. I tried translating in RationCards_EN but it also does not work. Can you help me?

Hi Susan.

While I do prefer that it's part of a collection, I'm happy if you have issues with that that result in it needing to be part of a modpack. Thank you for the ask.

Hello Rabbit Burgher,

I hope you are well! I am currently creating a modpack for the Project Zomboid server called "Gaden of Eden", focusing on creating a unique and engaging experience for our community through rp!. Your mod would fit perfectly with the atmosphere we are aiming for. I would like to ask for your permission to include it in our modpack. Of course, you will be fully credited and I will make sure to follow any guidelines you have. Thank you for considering my request!

Best regards,
Susan

I'm afraid I'm not a 3d modeller. That does sound like it'd be awesome to go with this if someone did make it though!

is it possible to do fedra gear like the uniforms, vests and helmets?

@Colonel Dave: Thank you for the suggestion. It is a deliberate design I tried to set out for where you could try to slip "forged" ration cards into a stack of legitimate ones so a shopkeeper or storehouse clerk can be fooled if they don't check for the stamp/what the stamp is. A renamed one would show up in the trade menu but, as it's not renamed, you can trade them; although the clerk/shopkeep can then scroll through the tooltips of the newly acquired cards to verify if they're stamped (and, if they take a careful pace, if they have the right stamp ID).

A cautious storekeeper (or official giving rations in an rp server) might ask for the cards first to check them before handing over the paid for goods.

@aluthewox: The cards don't spawn, no. The magazine, however, should spawn in the world (in crates of magazines, magazine racks, bookstore magazine shelves and office desks).

Do these spawn in containers?
