Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

How hard would it be to make this mac to send an EQBC message on a finished deal?
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

MQ2 cannot see inside the seller window so there is no way to record or create a event.

It would have to track all the items then monitor when your plat increased form the sale then try and figure out what items are gone form the sale. It would be a pain in the ass.

That is why i never did it. I just want the macro to work so i just kind of maintain it.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

would it be possible to just utilize chat events? some like " /if (${ChatText.Find[You have sold]}) /bc ${ChatText}"
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Selling an item doesn't have a chat event. The message inside the sell window and mq2 can't see it.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Maybe one could utilize the Bazaar logfile?
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

That would would require a writing a plugin
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

ah sorry, been some time since I left a toon up in bazaar, figured with offline mode you got chat box message about each sale....but now that you mention it I recall it being there.

guess I ought to check on stuff better before suggesting =)
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

there is no chat box in offline mode because you are logged out.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

correct... there is how ever a report in chatbox of what you sold while in offline mode, after you log back in. Hence my misunderstanding of it not happening while not in offline mode
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Hey guys, still looking to adjust the amount the programs drops the price below your competitor. What line would I adjust that in. I want a smaller 1-5% price drop rather than a 25% reduction. Thanks for the help.


Edit: Thanks to Dretski I was able to have the mac adjust a smaller difference in price. Works like a champ. Now I am curious if I can just "match" the lowest price. Don't beat the lowest but actually meet the lowest price in the bazaar. How would I change the programming to do this? Thanks

For me, the command "/mac bazaar trader" set all items the macro found are set to zero except the items not found sold in the zone.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

just an FYI I had it happen to me so I returned the favor and cleaned out the other seller at this own game! This guy put a 100k item I had listed and both our macs continued to drop the price every half hour... then he put his at 2k, my mac saw his price and lowered my item to 1950 or so... he then bought my item. He systematically did this to me 3 times on the same 100k gear. Then I returned the favor in spades, I listed every item he had at 10plat every time I saw he was offline for 10 minutes or so, I knew he was running this macro, you can tell, its like clockwork. I waited for him to drop offline, then I went online for 10 minutes in sell cheap mode.... as soon as he came back on, I left sell mode and cleaned out his whole trader cheap! He sent me a nasty email in game but seriously he asked for it. All I am saying is this, USE this macro but stop it after you get your prices set or risk someone else stealing your stuff! 3 of the items I got from him were 2mil rares!
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Had some dude trying to do the same thing to me, before offline trader mode. (Same dude who was warping around zone with his mage then summoning his other bots, right on top of named 0.5s after they spawns... like no one would notice him suddenly appearing on top of their camped named.... ) Fortunatly I caught him at it while I was sorting bags (had half my accounts in trader mode, but was still sorting things out) and heard the ChaCHING... lost 1 item.

After that I periodically watch for his traders and drop his prices..... but he would only go so low... hm....AHA! there is a min sell price in the macro! (at least the one I was using at the time)

Take the time to properly set up your min and max sell limits in your INI, to keep exactly that from happening. Tedious at times.... but heck what else are you doing while your army rapes and pillages.... =P

Well cept Raz....he is plotting to take over 1/3 the server population.....--wink--
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

This is why you need to set the min price in your ini file so that shit can never happen to you. set it at like 90k and macro will stop lowering the price when you hit 90k
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Anyone figured out the crash fix for this yet? I end up having to reload my trader and re-run this macro like 10 times in a row to get it to finally price everything out without crashing. I haven't tried the calculation change to a hard (-n) value, but previous comments indicate that doesn't work 100% of the time either.

MQ2Bzrsrch is broken, the macro is fine. If anyone wants to take a stab at fixing it PM me, or we can just bug eqmule.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

MQ2Bzrsrch is being worked on by eqmule & company. Making progress but no fix yet.

Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

I have reset the mac to have a min 9900 sell price and a max 99000 sell price. I ran the mac bazaar makeini fuction and now each of my items reflects the change. The problem is that sometimes if an item isn't priced at the minimum it leaves it alone instead of changing it to 9900. Also if there is no competition it does not raise the price to the max price reflected in the mac and in the ini file. Any ideas?
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

been a long while but shouldn't "/macro bazaar trader initprice" set the initial price if an item has none?

|* /mac bazaar trader initprice
|* Sets all unpriced items in Bazaar/Trader Window to InitialPrice variable (default 1000)
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

It sure does. But if an item is set to have a min price of 9900 and a max of 99000 /mac bazaar trader should make all min prices at least 9900 and if there is no competition it should raise the price to the max price set of 99000. It's not doing that.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

ah, sorry I misunderstood.

I know that if you do not have an initial price, and it doesn't see someone else in the bazaar with a price, it will not change the amount, I took that to be your issue. My apoligies
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Concerning the chat box for Barter,
Rich (BB code):
/echo ${Window[BarterWnd].Child[BTR_StatusText].Text}
gives some useful information. It's an STML box Type, just like in the Main Chat window. All you need is a way to parse it out.

I believe there is a 2048 character limit on strings, but the BTR_ClearStatusButton may help keep things manageable.

The macro (/mac bazaar trader) isn't working as expected for me. When i run it, when it find the item for sale , it sets mine to 0 copper and that for all the item that are available in bazaar.
I looked at it while it was running, it seems that it s when it opens the set price window that the program delete old price and try to write new price but window stay empty.
I suspect that it s because i am using an azerty keyboard instead of a qwerty one. Is that possible?

Just tried it for first time and mine worked

Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

I know you updated this awhile ago but omg how did i ever live without it... saves me so much dam time searching every stupid item... makes me put even more on the baz toon lol!!
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

I have found out the problem.
It's the keyboard input.
If you have qwerty keyboard, it works, if you have azerty keyboard it doesn't work.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Would be sweet to be able to update min sell prices using the barter search window (for trader). And vise versa, use the bazaar window to update max buy prices (for buyer). Of course you would still want to tweak it after.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Old thread, but I see this is still doing the same for /buyer mode. It tries to set the price to 0 on two items, then crashes the game. I have already used buyer, set up all my stuff normally, but wanted to give this a try.

Works fine in trader mode though!

Where the heck is this storing prices? I checked the bazaar.ini, did a CTRL to find item name, and its not even in there? Tried 5 random items so I could set min/max, and all 5 were not found.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Try looking in Everquest > Log folder for toon bazaar files
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Any comment on the first part of my post? when I use /mac bazaar buyer, it crashes my client when it tries to change pricing.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Down load the latest compile. the previous one was having CTD issues.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

I do my own compiles. Was the crash issue fixed in MQ2 source after the Jan-18 patch? Thanks!

Edit: Downloaded and compiled MQ2-20170121 (latest). Still crashing. Similar scenario as above. Crashes after searching for the first item on my buyer.

Thanks!

The macro crashes or MQ2 crashes to desktop?
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Yeah, this has always crashed the client when I try to use /mac bazaar buyer- So I just dont use it. It gives the dialog box that it crashed and exits to desktop.

I thought it was because of the lack of a set buy price in the INI, but even after thats all set up, it still crashes.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

If it shows the crash dialog it also creates a dumpfile, if someone send that to me this crash will be fixed faster.
 
Re: Bazaar.mac 3.1 Updated 05/03/2015

Is there a way to set the macro to "match" the lowest price when selling, or match the current high buy price when bartering? Thanks for the help.

I'm actually wondering about this, as well. I want to match the lowest price or the price of a specific seller. I put the dude on the exclude line in the .ini, but all that did is mean I based my slightly lower price on the next higher price in the bazaar instead of matching his.

What I'd love to do is be able to set names of people I want to match prices to. Or just set it to match the lowest price in every case (this would also avoid the inevitable situation Raz spoke of earlier if you don't set mins).
 
Re: Very Vanilla MQ2 Installer (start here)

Couldnt really find the right spot to share this but it looks like the /mac bazaar trader is now borked.. it wont set a price or even type it in there.

Also I figured |mash isnt working on KISS as my wiz wasnt casting anything and took that off and it started casting again. ill update as I find more bugs


edit

whoever moved this thank you! I just woke up so my brain couldnt function properly lol
