Please report any bugs/feedback in this thread.

God among men.

You are amazing, sir, and have won several internets, if not more than one, in my book.

Good work, it works pretty well for me.

Working great here so far also :) Nice Job!!!!

Wow! At this rate, Derision will run out of systems to fix in Titanium in a couple months. Then he will have to find a new version of EQ to start pulling opcodes and structures for to upgrade the emu to a newer version of EQ :P (kidding!)

Seriously though, now we just need to use the auto-AFK opcode to stop sending all traffic other than a simple keep-alive, and text messages, so we can have almost unlimited traders that are AFK and using almost no bandwidth at all.

Works great on my internal, and from what I've seen PEQ as well. Thank you very much for this, this is one feature EQEmu has sorely been lacking. Now, the idea of an actual economy in EQEmu is back on the table. The only minor issue is with the find pathing. Like the find command, it's off and goes through walls and the like. Still, it works well enough to get you where you need to.

I'm aware the find trader doesn't work well due to no pathing. I'm thinking of either making the Find Trader button warp you to the trader, or implementing a #gototrader command.

I should also mention, that once you put Trader Mode on, you can actually move off the stalls, so in theory Traders could go down and congregate in 'entrance' area were the merchants are to make it easier for people to find them.

That would be the solution. Thanks for the info! At least now I know it will work for the old bazaar.

Nice Work first off !

Secrets installed this on Raid Addicts.. The one bug that i have found is that when an items maxcharges is set to -1 it will go crazy.. Basically if you set the price say at 40 plat for an item with maxcharges set to -1.. And then a Player comes up and buys it, it takes ALL the plat out of his inventory and in the trader window it gives you 487347171 plat....

I have tested it on many many items and it's always the items set to -1 on maxcharges....

Also do you have plans on setting up the Blue Section of the Bazaar with /buyer ?? Would be neat :)

A bug related to the Bazaar and charges on items was fixed in Rev 209 on our SVN. Let me know if you still have issues after trying that code. As for /buyer and /barter, no immediate plans, but possibly.

Thanks !

Yeah would be neat to get them working because I have lots of players on the server trying to sell things constantly..

King

Hmmmmm... OK now well it's fixed for Maxcharges items set to -1 it will give you the right price, and take the right price out of the buyers inventory... HOWEVER The item still stays on the trader after they bought it... But not items with maxcharges set to 0 or above...

Hope you got a fix for that :)

Hell man Raid Addicts has had a working Economy for 4 years.. Suprised thought PEQ did as well?? I could offer some advice as to how to start one if you like..

King

Hopefully this is all sorted in Rev212.

Another bug I found is that if a Trader updates the price for an item while in Trader mode, it doesn't have any effect. For now, Traders should end Trader mode first if they want to change any prices.

Hah sorry if I sounded rude btw Cavedude..

I know your server is working toward Live Like content.. I didn't mean to imply that I had a custom way to help you with your Economy .. Just so you know.

If you are down , maybe i could help you out as far as the drop rates ect..

(NOT HIJACKING POST BTW)

Awesome thanks for your work so far Derision, I wish I had you on my staff TBH :)

Your an amazing coder sir, keep up the good work

King

Bump..

Still no fix for this bug ??

The Bazaar bugs you reported should be fixed in Rev212 in the SVN. If you are still seeing any problems, please PM me the exact steps to reproduce it.

I've made a lot of progress with the packets for /buyer & /barter over the last couple of days, so yes, now I have plans :) , but no ETA.

Woot nice !

does trader mode works OUTSIDE of bazar?

would it be posible to designate some other zone as trade zone (preferably a few)?

Idialy i would prefer not to use bazar zone itself but instead allow players to go /trader in ctities

No. Client checks the zone ID number before responding to the /trader or /bazaar commands as far as I can tell.

And it is possible to use the old version of the Bazaar as opposed to the new?

I've not tried it. If the Zone ID is 151 and you are standing on a 'door' with opentype 153 or 155, you should be able to turn /trader mode on.

If what I understand is corect you could add the correct door id to other zones and have traders where ever you wanted players to setup shop.

Alright well I believe Secrets has put in the latest code for this but still Items with MaxCharges set to -1 are bugging out...

To be more specific:

When you start your trader, a buyer comes up to buy an item from you.. They buy an item with maxcharges set to -1 and they receive the item, the plat goes out of their inventory and goes to the trader, that all works fine now.. However the item they purchased remains on the trader, so they can buy it again, over and over...

King

I can't reproduce it. Here's how I tested.

#spawn an NPC

#npcloot add these 10 items that have maxcharges=-1

Killed the NPC, looted the items, put them in a Trader's satchel, and had another character buy them.

As each one was purchased, they disappeared from the Trader's inventory and the Trader window. Camped the Trader and relogged him and they were still gone.

Ah hah ! I will test that for sure thank you Derision never would have thought summoning it would whack it out...

King

WOOT it worked thanks Derision you rock :)
