Pricing

Default prices

Config.Pricing seeds the database once, on the first start:

Config.Pricing = {
    seedVersion = 1,  -- bump to re-seed the defaults
    currency = '$',
    account = 'cash', -- 'cash' | 'bank'
    vanilla = 250,
    image = 400,
    freehand = 300,
}

!warning

After the first start, editing these values changes nothing. Prices live in the database and are edited in game. To force a re-seed from the config, increment seedVersion.

The admin studio

/tattooadmin

Opens a separate admin panel. You get access with any of these:

• the ace permission vartattoo.admin
• your identifier listed in Config.Admins
• an admin group on your framework

Config.Admins = {
    -- 'license:xxxxxxxx',
}

The price cascade

A tattoo price is resolved in this order, first match wins:

single tattoo  >  collection  >  zone  >  mode default

Leave a level empty and it falls back to the one below. That is what makes bulk pricing fast: setting a price on the torso zone or on the mpbiker_overlays collection prices hundreds of tattoos in one action, and you can still override one specific tattoo on top of it.

The admin panel has three tabs matching the cascade:

Each row shows where its current price comes from (custom, collection price, zone price or default), so you always know what you are overriding.

Enabling and disabling modes live

The Available modes section of the admin panel toggles vanilla, image and freehand. A disabled mode is hidden in the player UI and rejected server-side, so it cannot be triggered by a crafted event.

Everything is saved in the database immediately. No restart, no config edit.
