[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.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: Mule Trade it! Name length Truncation

	Hello. I am having an issue with Mule Trade it! and its truncation of names. There seems to be a limit on the number of characters allowed in the name (39). This creates confusion for poeple trying to sell/buy items with names longer than that (Wrapped Bundle of Deadly Fire Arrowheads becomes Wrapped Bundle of Deadly Fire Arrowhead and Wrapped Bundle of Deadly Frog Crotch Arrowheads becomes Wrapped bundle of Deadly Frog Crotch Ar). The workaround has been to try and inform the customer of the truncation, but then there is the issue of getting the price correct (stacks have to be different sizes to avoid cost confusion for the bot) the combination are frustrating. Is this a known issue, and does anyone else know of a superior workaround? -----signature-----

	I have run 2 trade bots ALOT but have not encountered this. The Plug-in hasn't changed any in a very very long time, so I am sure this is nothing new. Gouru asked for someone to take it over and I sent him a PM. If he responds, then I will look into a fix, otherwise it may never get fixed. Gouru is officialy MIA from here, AC and the dev chat room -----signature----- Killing Farmers since 1999! http://ac.circleofseven.com

	Well if you are interested in helping that would be great. I would not mind myself fixing this issue but I was not sure if the source would ever be released to anyone. -----signature-----
