Deadlands Noir - Poverty

[SeeleyOne]

When I was running War of the Dead, for example, there was an if statement inside that set cash to 0.

Hmm... I've always just used

~Set starting Cash
trustme
      herofield[acCashCfg].value = 150

Followed by (for DLNOIR)

~apply effects of Poverty hindrance if the Companion is not selected
if (hero.tagis[source.DLNoirC] = 0) then
   herofield[acCashMult].value = .5
endif

Which should flat out set the starting cash for that specific setting file with that source. I think you're right about it just remembering the last setting, however, so if you don't set it and reload it doesn't seem to properly reset to the value of the setting as it should, which I am guessing has to do with the fillable "Starting Cash" value on the Character Config screen effectively overriding the value from the setting itself rather than properly overwriting that value when a source is selected so it can then only be used to override the setting's value AFTER all sources have been checked.

Do you have an "Average Wealth" edge for between that and Rich?

[zarlor]

That's all taken care of in DLNoir. It's an Edge called "Comfortable".

The actual Deadlands file is woefully out of date. It was the first real Setting file, and we've learned a lot since then.
Later in the month I am going to start working on this stuff again (had to take a break - ongoing employment issues) and I'll finish up Interface Zero 2.0. The Deadlands re-write is on the slate right after that, if memory serves. It'll be updated to refresh the code base and to include the newer material.
