Starsector Mod for dynamic tariffs based on rep. level

Dynamic Tariffs

This is a utility mod for Starsector that dynamically changes tariffs based on your current reputation with the faction that owns the market.

How it works

When you open a market, an event is fired that will then modify the tariffs based on the parameters in the settings.json (read about that below), when you close a market, all modifications will be removed as to maintain utility status.

Settings.json

• dt_percents defines what tariffs should be at each level of reputation from Suspicious to Cooperative.
• dt_granular if set true will offer all values in-between the set percents based on your actual reputation level. Note: if set true, if you reach 100 reputation with a faction your tariffs will be 0%.
• dt_commission if enabled will give you a discount when commissioned with the market's owning faction.
• dt_commDiscount is how much it should discount (default is 5%)
• dt_usewhitelist is whether or not you want to use the whitelist at all. It is enable by default.
• dt_whitelist contains all of the vanilla market id's, these will be the only markets that are effected, if you wish to add some markets, just add their market id's to the list.

Stock settings

Reputation	Tariff
Suspicious	30%
Neutral	25%
Favorable	20%
Welcoming	15%
Friendly	10%
Cooperative	5%

And if you are commissioned with the faction, it will be lowered an additional 5%. (This can be turned off in the settings.json with dt_commission:false)

Also, It doesn't go below "Suspicious" because you can't trade with factions below that reputation level.

Thanks

Huge thanks to the folks in discord including: LazyWizard, stormbringer951, extremely loweffort art god, Ω Rubin Ω, and Jaghaimo (for the capital P in modPlugin).

This is my first mod for this game, and my first time using Java since high school, they helped A LOT.

Current Workflow setup

• I am using VSCode in Windows with the Project Manager for Java plugin.
• I'm using the Java JDK 1.7.0_80 from the Java archive on Oracles website.

dynamictariffs's Issues

Vortex mod manager can't install

I've downloaded the 2.0 zip file, and tried to add it with Vortex, here's the error I get:

I have no idea why, I can unzip it and see the mod_info.json file just fine...

Tariff not being set correctly when dt_commission = true, dt_granular = true and maximum reputation

When I trade with a faction that I have a commission with the tariff change works fine until I get to maximum reputation with that faction.
I checked through the code and I suspect line 104 in TariffUtil.java:

tariff = tariff < 0f ? -0.3f : tariff;

I think tariff should be set to 0f instead of -0.3f when it is less than 0 at that step so it will correctly set tariffs to 0 in the following steps.

I debugged it locally and it seems to work fine after the change.
