GORANGA TRAVELING MERCHANT by Goranga


Requirements:
=============
OBSE (Oblivion script extender)

Description:
============
Develop your business as traveling merchant.

1. Invest
=========
First you need to have some money to buy items you are going to sell. There are 5 such items: apparatus, armor, clothes, food and potions. They differ in price. 

Those items can be bought at general merchants that sell all kinds of stuff (those fall into merchant, merchtrader, merchfence class). Use "I need some stuff" dialog line.

Buy more of cheaper items rather than expensive ones, because people will ask to buy more of those. Prices of items are:
- food - 20 gold
- potions - 50 gold
- clothes - 100 gold
- apparatus - 500 gold
- armor - 1000 gold

Buy more food, potions and clothes rather than apparatus and armor.

Your profit margin for selling those items is 30%.

2. Cold selling
===============
In any place you find yourself into, talk to people that live there. Use dialog line "Would you like to see my stuff?". 

Those customers that you make will fall into two categories. 
The first one are people that will buy something from you on the spot. The second one are people that will take a look of what you sell and find you later if they need something from you.

Show your stuff to everyone everywhere. That will make them to become your "permanent customers". When they become permanent customers, they will approach you and ask for stuff.

Note:
=====
Try to remember to whoom did you show your stuff to. Showing your stuff to the same person more times than one can cause that he/she asks you for something more times than one. Trying to script solution for this would be a nightmare. I added some conditions to prevent for this to occur, but complete solution can't be done unless pluggy is used (which I didn't use in this mod). 

3. Replenish your stock
=======================
You will quickly run out of items, so you need to replenish them from time to time. You always need to have extra cash to run your business.

If you have a lots of cash, you can buy a lots of items and put them in merchant's bag on your horse. That will save you from going to buy goods too often.

Remember that when you sell, you need to have at least a few of those items in your inventory (not in the merchant's bag).

The horse
=========
You will get a free gift. That is the horse by the name Storm. He will carry all your stuff around.

If you are NOT ON the horse, when you activate him you will have three options:
1. "Get on the horse" - Will get you on the horse
2. "Open merchant's bag" - you can put all of your stuff inside (it respawns don't worry).
3. "Wait" / "Follow" - The horse will wait or follow for you

If you are ON the horse, there are two options:
1. If the name of NPC is in the lower right corner of the screen, you can sell stuff to him while on the horse.
2. In any other case you will have messagebox where you can choose wheter you want to "Get off the horse" or "Open merchant's bag" to put stuff inside.

"I don't need you for now" will move the horse to IC stable.

If you ever need your horse, just press "O" hotkey. You will hear whistling sound and your horse will be beside you (inside or outside city)
