As the title suggests, i was wondering if this was a good idea.

For me, i have the tendency to chuck items away in my SDB, and when i do want to sell items, i find myself going through multiple pages again and again to find an item worth some value. As such, would it be possible to create a program that will browse through the SDB and then check each item against the price in the Neocodex Database, and at the end of it all, producing a report (like the shop pricer) about the estimated value of the items?

I see potentially good points coming from this program,

1. People will more proactively update the neocodex database
2. People would not have to manually check each item's value

Do advise if this is possible codies! Thank you!!!! =)

It's definitely possible. In fact, we should just make Neon AP (our autopricer) into a complete item manager that does a lot more than price.

I wish I could take on many of these projects but I still have school. :(

it would be so nice

when i first joined i asked about this and someone just said use withdraw all of the items in your sdb and put them into your shop and than use the auto pricer

i have 3582 items in my sdb that would take about a month to complete

SHADOW plz make this program

I know I rarely get involved in discussions like this, but this program would actually be really useful... though perhaps more so as an XPI :p

I haven't really been here in a while, nor have I played Neopets much. I'm assuming SDB is safety deposit box? If there's still a working java wrapper around I could get this done. However, I remember back when I made a program that used the codex database and the prices were awfully inaccurate. Is it better now?

The buyable prices are a lot more accurate now, we don't get anywhere near as many outliers as we used to. :p

Any Java wrappers? I just need Get and Post functions, as I haven't delved down that route yet. Login would be nice, but not essential.

We use Python now so we don't have an official Java wrapper but you might find an old one in the Java code snippets section:

i vote as well for this program :) it would be awfully useful!
or like a greasemonkey script, which shows the NCitemDB price next to the item or sth...

Aight, I whipped this up today. Just about to add a quick GUI and threading. Is there a java codex checks? An old one or something? If not, how will I distribute?

Nice idea, some of my better items might be left in my SDB for ages without me knowing it :D

Because Java is no longer supported by Codex, I don't know if there's a working CodexChecks I can implement and without it, they won't host it here.

Anyone? Otherwise I'll just have to give it to anyone who wants it as a standalone app.

You can always implement a new java codex checker. Just need access to their db...and possibly encryption for password...that's only a lot to ask for :)

Hmmm, just out of curiosity which java IDE do you use?

Sorry if this is necroing, but is there any progress towards making this? I'd love it, it sounds like an awesome program! Especially since I have over a thousand items in my SDB x)

When and if this program is finished, I'm sure the developer will let everyone know. Until then, patience is a necessity. I'm with you all, though. This program would be very helpful.

I've tested the beta.


It's built, but it has some serious bugs that need to be addressed before it's ready to be released initially.

There were other problems as well... it was using the wiz when the wiz wasn't appropriate :p
