[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Topic: Reverse Trade Bot plugin

	Hi. I would like a reverse trade bot plugin, which rather than posting what I am selling, posts what I want to buy and what I'm paying. It would plug in to an item identification plugin, and scan the items you find for things other people want. Thus, if I were looking for a 13-26 or better fire mace with +10 or better on attack and defense, and you found one, the plug-in would pick it up and tell you it was worth, say, 5 plats as a trade-in to me, and 7 plats to somebody else, and let you choose who you'd like to trade it to, choose make them an offer (I have this and want 10 plats), or choose to simply keep the item. Then, ideally, it'd handle the trading in marketplace, selling the items to the right people. I think that this will make acquiring all sorts of items easier. AC's loot system is great. We need to revise the distribution system. It would also make acquiring trade units easier, by allowing people to get good prices for stuff that otherwise would have been junk. It's my hope that a plugin like this will make it easy to outfit any character with weapons, armor, jewelry, etc. I think it would be cool if people took advantage of the program to open specialized stores, like axe makers, or shoe stores. Perhaps some people would have schedules for their stores, opening their axe store on Mondays and their jewelry store on Tuesdays. Just a thought. Would anyone take this on? I am willing to, but know that it would take me a very long time, and I would like to have it sooner. -----signature----- (none)

	You do realize this game is heading for the sunset, right? A plugin with this much functionality, versus the amount of people who would use it... fail = \| Just being realistic here... -----signature----- (none)

	Ya you won't have much luck with that. The only real way you can "reverse sell" is when buying items like DI items or Vissy items, where they are all the exact same. -----signature----- Sergeant Stab of Solclaim 2007 Solclaim Fantasy Football Champion 2008 Solclaim Fantasy Football Runner-Up =/ http://ac.wikkii.net - The AC Wiki!
