Story flavor
Did you ever wondered why every poker game is played with so small stakes? It was all mystery till stranger that you saved from his angry wife told you a secret sign for starting real deal. Now you know that you have to knock on table to let other people know that you are ready for high stakes...


Important
This is not a full realistic overhaul of ingame UI values shown during playing minigames.
This mod alter money you win/lose at end of a minigame.


Overview

This mod alter amount of money you can win or lose in minigames. I tested it with poker (and blackjack in Rhodes).
When you sit to table you should see a message about new buy-in which mean script recognized that minigame started.
Once you finish mini game mod check how much you earned/lost and multiply that amount. If you had not enough money for high stakes version when sitting to table then you will simply play with normal rates and get appropriate  message. After losing all money it's best to stand up from the table, let script finish and then sit again, not just use buy-in option when sitting (but it works mostly).


Taxed money
Game give you a lot of money, way too much to really feel immersive, and while there are mods that address that they are not compatible with my mod so I implemented simple taxed money system.
Money tax system reduces all money you gain and it's a bigger tax on bigger numbers. You can pause the script for compatibility reasons so you can withdraw money from a bank or somewhere else without a tax.
  • first $15 - no tax
  • next  $140 - 30% tax
  • next  $200 - 60% tax 
  • next  $400 - 85% tax
  • and rest - 95% tax
Taxed money is configurable in config
Default rewards example:
  • 20$   -> 18, 50$
  • 50$   -> 39, 50$
  • 100$  -> 74, 50$
  • 300$  -> 171$
  • 520$  -> 217, 75$
  • 2750$ -> 352, 25$

Buttons
Numpad "-" pause money tax script
Numpad "+" start manual mode before sitting to table (requires mode set to 2 in config file)

Those are not configurable but tell me which other buttons are good so i will upload version that use them too.


v0.9 changes
I introduced small changes to previous script - now called auto mode.
If you have problems with it then turn on debugging and tell me on what messages it fail/stops when getting to minigame. Debugging dont work with taxed money even if you turn it on and overall debugging may be not performance friendly but if you have constant issues with auto mode then feedback would be useful where it fails. Like what messages you got when playing minigame.

For those that want max compatibility and/or don't want to rely on my minigame detection, there is a manual mode activated with a button. Once you press it, you got a few seconds to start minigame. It got a lower amount of checks, but there is still one so it shouldn't allow you to duplicate money too easly.


Warning
I dont have much time to test new versions in every situation as i dont play rdr2 anymore but after quick tests it seems to work fine.
Mod should only trigger in minigames but pay attention to any other events that remove money from player in amounts thats required to start minigame (like 1$, 5$) as it might trigger this mod and remove your money on accident.


Known issues
  • If you get autosave popup after standing from table script may fail so trigger your autosave eailer or disable it.
  • Autosave made when standing from table don't save your money status, wait for next autosave or save manually after.


Instalation
  •  Download and install ScripthookRDR2
