TrustMerchant Idea

[mStation]

Hi all,

finally i got my account activated and i'm now here writing a little idea i have.. hope it can be possible to realise since i would surely be using it.. btw i know GMs are continously working on the server so i hope this idea won't take away all your time..

is it possible to get a dedicated section (on the website or in the forums) where u can download a text file containing all the items which the trust merchant ingame has memorized with thier prices and the sellers name? its just to have a database which each time u download gets updated so u know what is in selling and at what price.. u dont have to make it super interactive like u can buy items from it without login in mir which should be impossible to do but just have a huge list of all the items so u can search and keep u updated with the prices around..

if the thing then becames usefull to also other ppl i think it shouldn't be hard to make it a little bit more interactive using php and mysql queries so that u can isolate what items are really interesting u and what aren't..

does anyone feel that something like this could be usefull?

thanks for the reading

Hey m , come ingame mate

Good idea mate dunno if it would be possible, if it was it would be bloody hard coded >.<

tbh im not sure if you would be able to do it with mir revenge -its a good idea and i assume it would be possible to implement in to Mir4 when its released, but with the current source code being locked im not sure if there would be the ability to be able to purchase from outside the game.

you never knwo tho a server geek might be able to work out some way to do it

no no.. its just supposed to be a database.. i think selling items out of the game is impossible right now but surely creating a database with the items should be possible.. the npc script after all just does a long query.. if u understand the way the exe does it u can simulate it with the sql.. (this is what i think tbh but im not really sure)

thers like nearly 2000 pages will take up **** loads of room. i dont c how this can help any1 u still need log in game 2 buy the item

[Gridlock]

I think this is possible with a little bit of thinkering...

@gagin = you can filter pages by date programmatically...

but pointless coz yeah you would be able to see but wont be able to do anything about it...

soon as you get home and log into mir, those items might already be sold right?

hmmm its a good point i realised it was a simple database when i hit the post button lol


as mentioned its a fairly large list and would end up having a lot of infomation traveling back and forth which might end up causing lag on the server - but that could be fixed with the filtering of bits and pieces but also as mentioned - chances are if you found a bargin whilst at work some ingame has probably already bought it.

having it simply as a reference and a browsing tool would be nice but im not sure if its vital
