Summary
XP costs for depot vehicles, fair XP refunds when a vehicle is returned, and server-set XP reward amounts. Server side, console friendly.
Description
Silence - Core adds an XP cost to vehicles and lets the server host set how much XP each action gives.
VEHICLE XP COST
- Vehicles pulled from a Conflict depot can cost XP as well as supplies and rank
- The cost shows on the vehicle's card in the depot menu
- If you cannot afford it you are told how much you need. Spending XP can lower your rank, but it can never drop you below Private
- Game Masters placing vehicles from the editor are not charged
XP REFUNDS
When a vehicle is returned at a depot, the XP goes back to the player who paid for it, never to whoever returned it:
- Within 1 minute: 100% back
- Within 30 minutes: 75% back
- After that: 50% back
If the owner is offline, the refund is saved and paid the next time they spawn, even after a restart.
XP REWARD SETTINGS
On first start the server writes <server profile>/Silence Core/Silence_Core.txt, listing every XP reward at the amount the game gives now. Remove the # in front of a line, change the number and restart.
FOR MOD MAKERS
Give a vehicle an XP cost on its SCR_EditableVehicleComponent budget list:
m_BudgetType SILENCE_XP_COST
m_Value 750
Everything runs on the server and nothing extra is sent to players, so it works the same on PC and console.
