Utility Pricecheck (TLP) v1.8.0

Added​

• Card-Based Communication Log & Grouping**: Grouped tells by player into clean conversation cards with scrollable messages log, replacing the old flat table layout. Includes automatic logging of outgoing reply tells.
• Handled Trade Recording Dialog**: Added a confirmation dialog popup when clicking "Done" on active cards to record details of completed trades, select sold items, and log final sell prices.
• Comm Archives Tab**: Dedicated tab to display archived conversation logs and recorded trades in reverse-chronological order, outlining inquiry details and processed sales, with support for deletion.
• Local Inventory Tab ("YOUR ITEMS")**: Replaced bulk remote price checking with a local inventory listing that scans bag/bank quantities on startup or via a manual update button.
• Vendor Sell Columns**: Added a "Vendor Sell" column to the main sales table that highlights vendor values in green if they meet or exceed market prices.
• Single-Item Refresh Button**: Added a refresh button ("R") next to the remove button in the "Operations" column to fetch the latest values and recheck inventory.
• Non-Blocking Details Window**: Replaced Details hover text with a standard button opening a non-blocking floating window containing 7-day transaction listings.
• Full Settings Reset**: Added the command line option RESET_THIS_MEANS_ALL_MY_CHANGES_ARE_GONE_AND_I_UNDERSTAND to clear all configuration, history, and archive files.

Changed​

• Strict 7-Day Pre-Fill Window**: Switched averages calculations to strictly evaluate the last 7 days of transaction history rather than falling back to overall lifetime averages.
• Warning Tooltips**: Low sample size warning tooltips now explicitly specify available samples within the 7-day window.
• Isolated Storage Profiles**: Split archive and trade logs into separate character-specific files to prevent schema corruption.
• Ignored Automated Tells**: Outgoing and incoming tells containing the phrase "busy right now" are filtered and ignored.

Added​

• Global Currency & Suffix Configuration**: Added global configuration fields for Default Currency (default pp), Alternate Currency (default krono), Multiple Items suffix (default each), and Sell as Stack suffix (default per Stack).
• Granular Per-Item Sales Settings**:
• Added an add # checkbox column in the pricing list to toggle whether to include the quantity prefix for that specific item in the auction string.
• Added a Currency dropdown column allowing choice between the default currency, alternate currency, default + multiple suffix, or default + stack suffix on a per-item basis.
• Window Reset Command**: Added the /pricecheck reset slash command to manual reset all UI window coordinates back to default visible cascaded coordinates.
• FAQ Section**: Added a frequently asked questions section to the "How to Use" tab explaining how to solve missing item links (using /link /import /update and having the item).

Changed​

• Pricing & Sales Table Restructure**: Reorganized the history list table from 10 columns to 9 columns (Rem, Item, Qty (Bank), Bought for, Sold for, add #, Price, Currency, Details) to maximize screen estate and clarity.
• Reduced Items Per Broadcast Line**: Reduced the maximum items grouped per /auction broadcast line from 4 to 3.
• Removed Startup Database Scans**: Removed the automated /link /import /update command execution on script startup to prevent game lag.

Fixed​

• Off-Screen Window Recovery**: Implemented auto-clamping logic that dynamically detects if a window is dragged completely off-screen and moves it back to visible screen boundaries.
• ImGui EndChild Stack Crash**: Fixed an ImGui critical failure stack error ("Must call EndChild() and not End()!") when culling/clipping minimized or off-screen child windows by making the EndChild() calls unconditional.

Added​

• Dynamic Tools Tab**: Created a new UI tab that scans the pricecheck/tools/ directory and renders discovered scripts as modern square buttons with rounded corners.
• Standardized Tool Interface**: Defined a contract for tools supporting local host execution (buttonFunctionOnHost) and remote client execution (buttonFunctionExport) with support for custom button colors.
• Tools Refresh Support**: Included a Refresh button that invalidates the package cache, allowing developers to hot-reload edits to tool scripts in real-time.
• Startup Command Routing**: Added a command line parser to allow running tool actions directly from the console or via /lua run pricecheck button <toolName> [args].
• Default Tools**: Packaged pricecheck_hotbutton (local hotbutton creation) and gief_money (multi-box platinum collection via DANNet and /gief.lua) tools.
• Background Link DB Updates**: Triggers /link /import /update on script startup to populate local MQ2LinkDB cache.

Fixed​

• Missing Auction Item Links**: Resolved an issue where items not cached in MQ2LinkDB would show as plain text by adding fallback queries to active inventory (FindItem), bank (FindItemBank), and cursor (Cursor) item properties.

Added​

• Broadcast Manager Window**: New split-view window displaying WTS loop status and Checklist side-by-side with Tells Log (Communications).
• Scrolling Stock Ticker**: Real-time ticker tape displaying character wallet, active sales totals, and pending inquiry counts.
• Historical Krono Price Trends**: Automatic retrieval and display of 1D, 3D, and 7D Krono averages.
• Broadcast Separator Config**: Customize delimiters between items on auction lines.
• Broadcast Currency Config**: Customize the currency suffix (e.g. pp, gp).
• Item Count Prefix Toggle**: Toggle quantity prefix and "each" price suffixes (e.g., 2x item 10pp each vs. item 10pp).

Changed​

• Sound Alerts**: Only play beep sound on tells when broadcasting is actively running.
• UI Title Bar**: Set title bar text static to prevent window layout shifts during initial queries.

Changed​

• Themes were removed. With friendly permission from redfrog, we use the croakwatch theme now.

Added​

• Pause & Resume Broadcasts**: Added Pause/Resume button to freeze the broadcast timeline, timers, and progress bars.
• Auto-Recheck Quantity**: Added automated inventory quantity checks when starting, stopping, pausing, or resuming broadcasts, and on list loads.
• API Provider Pattern**: Decoupled third-party URL structures in the HTTP module to support customized database or server pricing endpoints.

Changed​

• Cleaner Tab Layout Engine**: Replaced hardcoded tab structures in the UI module with a dynamic, data-driven layout loop.
• Auto-fitted Tables**: Redesigned all dashboard, history, and message tables to be non-resizable and auto-fitted to column contents.

Fixed​

• ImGui Balancing Nesting**: Fixed layout stack underflow errors when resizing the window to its minimal width by ensuring EndChild() is always called.
• Bulk Check Quantity Persistence**: Stored and retained counting properties to fix missing quantity totals in the Bulk pricing table.

Refactored​

• UI Modularization**: Decoupled ui.lua into lightweight sub-component files (shared, dashboard, communication, configuration, changelog, cursor_query).

Added​

• Changelog Tab**: Added a new tab to display the CHANGELOG.md file contents inside the main window, with dynamic colorized parsing for headers.

Changed​

• No Trade Filtering**: Filter out No Trade and No Drop items during bulk inventory scans to avoid listing untradeable items.

Removed​

• Drop Slot**: Removed the Item Drop Slot interface block and separator from the main UI window, and deleted their unused preset styles.

Fixed​

• Cursor query window crash**: Fixed a crash when closing the standalone cursor query window caused by calling a non-existent method setShowCursorQueryWindow on the state wrapper.
• Vulnerability/format string crash**: Fixed a potential crash in mq.cmdf when broadcasting item/player names containing % by passing them via %s format specifiers.

Refactored​

• State manager setters**: Removed unused simple getters and setters (setBulkQueue and setBulkPriceHistory) and moved queue logging directly into the state metatable __newindex method.

Added​

• Visual Color Themes: Introduced 6 UI styling presets ("Default", "Solarized Dark", "Nord", "Pastel", "Solarized Light", and "Windows 95").

• Interactive Broadcasting Timeline: Dual progress bars showing current step countdowns (WTS lines and anti-spam delays) and overall cycle progress.
