I have been trying to add multiple searches to one select item, is this possible? Been trying things like this

name = "Diamond",
filter = function(item)
local mytab = {}
table.insert(mytab, item.Name():find("^.* Diamond") ~= nil)
table.insert(mytab, item.Name():find("Diamond") ~= nil)
return mytab

end,
},
 
Code: 
        name = "Items with Diamond in their name'",
        filter = function(item)
            return item.Name():find("diamond") ~= nil
        end,
    },

Sorry I posted the wrong code for the example. I'm trying to group items but the type of trade skill that used them. For example I'm trying to group all tailoring items in one group.


{
name = "Silk",
filter = function(item)
return item.Name():find("^.* Silk") ~= nil
end,
},
{
name = "Skin",
filter = function(item)
return item.Name():find("^.* Skin") ~= nil
end,
},
{
name = "Pelt",
filter = function(item)
return item.Name():find("^.* Pelt") ~= nil
end,
},
 
I haven't done it before did you try an or statement?

Code: 
return item.Name():find("Skin") ~= nil or item.Name():find("Pelt") ~= nil

Tried that nothing in the extra list shows up when using an or or and and
 
very helpful Lua. snippet below adds the lobby parcel bloke.

Lua: 
local function findParcelVendor()
    status = "Finding Nearest Parcel Vendor"
    local parcelSpawns = mq.getFilteredSpawns(function(spawn)
        return (string.find(spawn.Surname(), "Parcel") ~= nil) or
            (string.find(spawn.Surname(), "Parcel Services") ~= nil) or
            (string.find(spawn.Name(), "Postmaster") ~= nil) or
            (string.find(spawn.Name(), "A_Vendor_of_Reagents") ~= nil) or
            (string.find(spawn.Name(), "Hyredel") ~= nil)
    end)
 
Here is your example for your multiple items in the parcel_scources.Lua.

Code: 
    {
    name = "Poison TS Items",
    filter = function(item)
        return item.Name():find("Caladium") ~= nil or item.Name():find("Laburnum") ~= nil or item.Name():find("Larkspur") ~= nil or item.Name():find("Muscimol") ~= nil or item.Name():find("Oleander") ~= nil
    end,
    },

That looks pretty cool Burd!! Nice
 
Can we add the new parcel vendor in Hostock Hills to the list you have. I was able to add it to my copy, but figure others can probably use the change.

Code: 
local parcelSpawns = mq.getFilteredSpawns(function(spawn)
        return (string.find(spawn.Surname(), "Parcel") ~= nil) or
            (string.find(spawn.Surname(), "Parcel Services") ~= nil) or
            (string.find(spawn.Name(), "Postmaster") ~= nil) or
            (string.find(spawn.Name(), "A_Vendor_of_Reagents") ~= nil) or
            (string.find(spawn.Name(), "Marius_Carver") ~= nil) or
            (string.find(spawn.Name(), "Hyredel") ~= nil)
    end)

pushed. Feel free to PR in the future if you like.
 
im not sure what is happening here. all my all ImGui are working, buttonmaster, guildclicky, portalsetter. but whenever i try to run /parcel i get this error imaged below. /Lua run parcel loads up, but its just when i try to load the ui.

i can resume but i get the same error each time.

ive tried deleting the download and reloading it again but same error. any suggestions?
 
Has anyone else had this issue? Keep getting the attached issue when trying to /parcel.

I've tried resetting the GUI settings under EQ Button > MQ and no luck.

Did you update to the version listed just above your post? Or read the three posts above it?
I thought it had been addressed.
 
Maybe we can use the last option to nuke these messages, they just seem to be a nuisance in the instances where they crop up XD
Perhaps the distinction is important elsewhere, in a situation I haven't seen yet.
 
I made a minor modification to show the number of items that you will be sending. Just a quick QOL add :) I did my first Pull Request to merge the code changes, so let me know if I did it correctly or not.

Small personal requests. Either way great script. I'm buggy about hitting the X button and not ending the script and show gui by default. :)



Code: 
if ImGui.SmallButton("Recheck Nearest") then
                findParcelVendor()
            end
            ImGui.SameLine()
            if ImGui.SmallButton("Exit Parcel") then
                mq.cmd('/lua stop parcel')
            end

Code: 
local openGUI           = true
local shouldDrawGUI     = true
 
Hi, does this not work on EMU servers? it sends first item then trys sending the next , parcel dude says give me chance and doesnt seem try again?

Laz has a 30 second delay between sending parcels.
"EMU" is not really an accurate descriptor in this case. Many don't support parceling at all.
Edit: I guess this could be coded around?

While the resource is listed for Live, TLP and Test, EMU is not listed, I do use it on EMU. EMUs have different setups, not all are the same. Lag can also affect attempts? My EMU s Shelter of the Banned, plain server up to DoN, parcel guys do their thing, I just tested it to see if there was any issue with more than one item. List your EMU, maybe there is special coding there. Can also ask on that server if anyone is having parcel issues, could simply be something server side.
