Traveling Merchant | Trading | Configurable Routes | Robbery | VORP / RSG
A complete traveling merchant and trading system for RedM, made for servers that want more dynamic commerce, exploration, economy, and open-world activity.
With Traveling Merchant, a merchant wagon travels across the map following configurable routes, stopping in different towns where players can buy and sell goods, manage shared stock, and interact with a constantly moving merchant.
The merchant is not always safe on the road. Players can hold up the merchant, steal his money, or rob the wagon chest, creating a more dynamic and risky trading experience.
Designed to be simple, immersive, and highly configurable — easy to understand for players, while giving server owners full control over routes, destinations, stock, items, prices, and behavior.
