Yes. It doesn't pass /bzsrch which just strips the " from the query. I even tried `, \, ' before the quote, double ', and reverse quoting the query. It just strips it.

Yah so we rely on bzrsrch to do this if that is bugged we would have to file a bug aginst the plugin but I don't think its being maintained :\ I will try to get in there and fix it when I have time.
 
I couldn't initially figure out how to use this but it was because the window defaults to a size that's pretty small. Once I expanded it and figured everything out it is a GODSEND, thank you for the effort! Looking forward to making fat stacks now :D
 
i think it would be nice have a button to match the next highest price from yours.... this way if you are too low all you have to is hit the button to match the next lowest to you.

So after loading mq2linkdb I pressed the Auction Now! button and it put a message into the proper channel, without any link.

So I then unloaded the lua and restarted it, now I get

did you do a `/link /import` to download the latest definitions?

I am curious if I am heading for a crash..it stopped doing anything, and as you see in the pic MQ window says
"Waiting for bazaar cmd to finish" as well as the scan shows Next Scan in -1:17:41. It stopped mid scan at 35%.
I did not update yet since your last update and wanted to see if I could capture any info for you next crash. I'll leave it for a bit to see what happens.

it uses the /bzsrch plugin which can get stuck sometimes. there are some /bzsrch commands you can issue to unstick it but in generally restarting the Lua should work.

Sweet - I hadn't looked at this thread in a minute and was just going down the list.

No worries! I had posted a suggestion/request though.... using a "nearest price" instead of lowest, very useful if you sold out of something at a low price and now all those being offered are at a higher price than your previous price. Just a thought. Love the Lua and use it all the time!

EDIT: ehhhh, might be a little more complicated than the above statement... what I am thinking is having it show "lowest price" if lower than my set price OR "nearest low price" if higher than my set price. That might be a bit more trouble than it's worth.

It's unlikely I will add that as I am not currently using this script but I will keep it in mind. If you want to add it and submit a PR I would approve it.
 
What about the ability to have the script automaticallly start the trader mode. I have the character.cfg file autoloading the LEM, but could find no method of automatically starting the trader into trader mode. If you don't have time, I will do a pull request once I get it setup if that works for you. I looked at the code, and you are interacting with the Trader window to start trader mode, so I think it should be possible to automatically start the trader.
 
Would love to see an update to undercut by 5000-25000. I'm on live and prices dont care about 1 or even 1000....

I think it is this part:

Code: 
if curr == 0 or curr >= (best or 0) then
        if shouldUndercut(trader) then
            local ordMagDiff = 10 ^ settings.UnderCutOOM
            -- math.floor(math.abs(math.log((best > 0 and best or 1) / (settings.UnderCutOOM > 0 and 10 ^ settings.UnderCutOOM or 10), 10)))

            local newPrice = math.ceil((best or 0) - (settings.UnderCutPercent / 100 * (best or 0)))

            if ordMagDiff > best then return newPrice end

            newPrice = math.floor(newPrice / ordMagDiff) * ordMagDiff

            return newPrice
        else
            return best
        end
    end

I'm guessing i could change the MagDiff =1000.... not sure. I'm sure I will break it.
 
Great Lua!

I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong, but it will find the price for all my items, but not update my ini. I have to click one by one to update the ini. It freezes at times saying (Spamming) "Waiting for bazaar cmd to finish" and when I restart all my prices are gone.

I'm not clear on where you are trying to update things. Manual update in the BH window is always required to set a price.

Are you trying to set prices in the middle of a scan? They will conflict.

I was trying to set all prices after manually adjusting them. If it's one at a time that's what it is. I thought I could manually adjust them all using tabs (which does seem to work) and then click once to send a bulk update.

A good quality of life feature might be a single button that bulk does all changes to prices that you've put in. It takes ~3 seconds per update click on my pc (very beefy) and if I have ~300 items i'm trying to sell that's a lot of time. I'd much rather set all prices and click something to update my entire INI file with all prices I've put in.

GREAT WORK!!
May I suggest that instead of pressing the set price button one by one. there be a tick. We tick all those that we want the price changed, then when all done we click process button that will automatically adjust all ticks. Having to wait 2-3 seconds for every item is not optimal. thanks :)
 
Still very new and struggling. I was using the bazaar Lua and it was working great. Now since the patch it is not working. I updated mq2 ok, and everything else is working so far. But when I use /Lua run bazaar in game it says it cant be found now, and it worked fine before (I made a hotkey and it worked before the patch). I checked and the files are still in the Lua folder but to be sure I Downloaded it again and replaced them and still get the same msg in game, bazaar cant be found. What am I doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
To be sure, getting started can be daunting. Don't let it get you down.

If you did things correctly, you should have a folder named 'bazaar' in your Lua folder. This folder should be wherever your MQ installation is. For me, it is D:\MQNext\Lua\bazaar. It could very well be something else for you.

In this folder there should be 3 files:
baz_utils.Lua
bazaar_db.Lua
init.Lua

When you type /Lua run bazaar in game it will look for and run the init.Lua from the folder matching the name you gave (bazaar). So if it is coming up with cannot be found then there is something wrong with what you did. The most common is that there is a mismatch between where you extracted the ZIP file and the actual RedGuides VV installation folder. I would check the Settings tab in the Launcher to confirm where MQ is installed and make sure you are putting your Lua files in the right spot.

BTW - OneDrive is evil. If your MQ installation is there, or it is redirecting you there, you should fix that.

Well, by definition it is not correct :(

Be very specific with the error message you see. If you type /Lua run bazaar and it cannot find the correct file at all it should come up with 'Cannot find Lua script matching 'bazaar'' (red text in your MQ window). Let us know if that is what you see or it is something else.
 
testing this out currently on an EMU server.. works amazing but ive noticed all of the items in my trader bags are not showing up in the window.

due to it being an EMU and the trader satchels were upgraded to have 30 slots, is this why it's not picking up all the items?
 
Hi i am having some issues with the Lua. I have it installed in the right folder along with RedGuides launcher and MQ.
My issue is when I type /Lua run bazaar in the injection screen, it will scan for a few mins and then the injection box, along with the BFO bazaar box, closes.
I have checked and double-checked to make sure everything is updated and installed correctly. Any help? thx
Ah I found out why after testing on other servers. Teek is not supported yet. *Edited* 1/31/26

Just waking up so have not had my coffee yet... is there a way to set price limits as is done with the bazaar.mac? As in upper and lower price limits, so I am not trying to undercut someone selling a water flask for 2B plat, nor am I suddenly trying to sell the queen's jewels for 1 plat?
Notice i am trying to undercut someone selling ornaments for 1.9m plat, whose next piece of the collection is 5p...

would you want this per item or an overall limits? or both?

per item would be my use, though I could see a general "never go above X or below Y" being useful to someone.

Not familiar enough with Lua to know if that is feasible (per item data base/ini)
