#Fix Mercantile Exploit and Rebalance

warning: permanently changes npc attributes
these mods tend to make haggling impossible, thats why i added a hack that you always get experience from trading based on the gold amount
theres also another mod on the nexus that does this: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/54337
about the permanent attribute changes, is it because of API limitations or something else..
it was my first mod i made for 0.48, so i was already glad that i was able to detect interactions with npcs and changing attributes
no idea how i could make an update that would revert those permanent changes without a database of every npc in every mod
technically i would recommend using that other mod, especially if you're just checking if you like that difficulty spike because i think that mod only makes the changes temporary (afaik?)
but my mod has that feature that you can still level mercantile, which the other doesnt have afaik
it should be possible get the original stat values through the NPCs record, but they're not exposed yet.
rest in peace
Why not make a spell which modifies mercantile skill and apply it to them when you activate them, have it removed afterwards
that only works when you do it like that in the first place, there's no way an update can revert these changes right now, which is also why the mod is not available anymore
fair enough.
What did your mod actually do, specifically? If you'd like I could add it as a feature to Comprehensive Rebalance
it increased npc mercantile with some formula where players could configure at what level they'd get the best prices. (by editing the lua file)
also it would give the player mercantile exp when their gold changes while trading because haggling got impossible (and when successfully bribing)
and there was an esp that increased the bribing modifiers because that also got harder from increasing npc mercantile
^^ DONT INSTALL, IT PERMANENTLY CHANGES YOUR WORLD
there's some other mod on nexus which fixes the mercantile exploit, i suggest using that instead because it reverts stat changes after trade
The point of Comprehensive Rebalance is to fix/adjust many of the games exploits on one easy package
