How to use iprp_matcost.2da properly?

in Builders - Toolset
This has been something that's stumped me for years. It also applies to iprp_qualcost.2da.

So I change the cost values in iprp_matcost.2da. Here's an example:

, where Gold was set at 0 by default.

So I dump the .2da into my override folder, yet when I change the material of an item in the toolset, it doesn't make a difference. I stick the same .2da into a .hak file and put that .hak at the top of my load order, and it still doesn't affect anything.

I have also tried using decimal values between 0 and 1 to modify the cost, and that didn't cause any changes either.

How do I use this properly? I don't want the materials to do anything besides affect the cost of items.

    That's due to fact it is integer not float and is probably rounded to zero when below 1: https://nwnlexicon.com/index.php/ItemPropertyMaterial

    These are multiple of your base.
    Update forgot you have to change
    ItemPropDef.2da
    make the material from **** to .1 or something that you like. I have mine at .5

    Bless you, this is the answer I have been seeking. I've never seen this .2da mentioned before and it solved the issue.

    @Valgav, it is actually a float. The only number that needs to be an integer in iprp_matcost.2da is the first number column, which is just numbering which material it is.

    You might find the 2da reference of use. It is an xls spreadsheet and is part of this collection.
