Ah, sorry about that. I was almost certain that "ls" had become universal, but alas, it seems not. You'll need to use "dir" instead. Of course, you might also want to wait until Neopets is back up before bothering to run this. : )

Thanks.
I'm just trying it out because I'm bored while Neo is down.

1. How do I get the folder with the program to show? I can get in the folder but not "dir" it.
2. How do I run the python thing? I installed python 2.7. "python.exe account_pricer.py" doesn't work.

You just blew my mind... : P

[Ryuusei06]

I was trying this and then Neopets went down.
Now, I can't get pass after the username and password part.
Is that because the server is down or I'm doing something wrong?

Oh ok, since it's not down anymore it's totally working!!
Got my final account worth, and it's not so much.) hahaha, np's wise I guess!

Thank you so much inkheart!<3

I finally got it to work.

I had to go to the link with the code, copy and paste it into a text file, rename it as account_pricer.py, and then all I had to do was open it.

edit;; some of the prices aren't accurate, e.g. Ultimate Neopets Tips! is no trade but is marked as worth 300k NP in my HTML file.

Hey, guys. So, somebody asked if there were any tools available to calculate the estimated worth of one's inventory and SDB. Seeing as how there didn't seem to be one (not to mention that I was interested in the worth of my own account), I decided to make one. It takes into account NP on hand, in the bank, and in the user's till, but also the estimated value (via Codex's wonderful database) of the inventory (and, by extension, items in trades), SDB, and shop.

Once it's done, it will open a file called "results.html" in your default browser and give you a nice big recap of the information it collected, to include showing you the items in your inventory, shop, and SDB sorted by value. Hopefully you'll find a gem or two tucked into the corners of your deposit box.

Now that neopets is back up...I can try this out

Loving it so far - it's on page 145 of my SDB right now but it seemed to go through the bank, shop till, stock portfolio, inventory/trades, & shop pretty quickly (and accurately). There's a few places that aren't included in the overall account price...and I'm sure that for some people the bulk of their wealth is probably in the gallery, equipped BD items, wearables, closet, shed, TCG deck, or neodeck. But other than that minor bit (which is easy enough to get around by stuffing the items in the inventory or SDB - unless you're an insane packrat like myself) the program seems to work like a charm

EDIT: I spoke too soon

Your SDB is worth about 18460720 NP.


Total account worth: 32071489

Well, yeah, it goes through those pretty quickly because they're only a few pages. It can take forever on a big SDB because I made it pause for a few seconds between each page just so you don't look too suspicious by loading so many pages so quickly. Huh, I can't believe there are so many places that I didn't think about where account wealth could be tucked away. I may very well include every single one of those that you mentioned at some point, maybe even Neohome items, depending on what the Flash data looks like. Also, it did work for you right up to the end, it's just that, unfortunately, the Python webbrowser module doesn't seem to work out of the box on Mac. There should have been a results.html file created in the same folder that you can manually open in your browser if you want to see all the juicy details. : )

This is a very sexy program. Thanks for making it, it works like a charm.

Lol. Well, as an SDB/Shop/Inventory/Trades pricer - works amazing And I actually went and looked in the folder and there is a results.html file SO it seems it worked out...despite whatever that error was. Anywho, thanks for the program

Well, thank you. : ) And yeah, the only error was that it didn't open that file in your browser automatically as was intended. I'm not very Mac-fluent, so Iet's pretend things went 100% smoothly instead of 99...

[fimend]

Worked like a charm. Initially I was getting the message that python wasn't a recognized command, but it turns out I had to install 2.7 and add the location. Awesome little program though. +rep

[ahyunnie]

read through, installed python 2.7, copied the pricer.py and prices.txt file, ran it, worked smoothly.

great program +1

[Strategist]

i tried it on a few shells/semi mains etc etc and it didnt want to work at first. Then i realised, that neither of those accounts had a shop (with items in it). I made a shop on one of the accounts and retried the program and VIOLA! she works So if it doesnt work for you guys first time around, retry it with a shop on the account and at least one priced item.

bumping because its a useful prog

I don't see why everyone cares so much abut GUIs, command line programs are way quicker, and the programmer can focus on developing actual content.

Are you going to sit there staring at the colourful GUI if its made? What other purpose does it serve other than being easier on the eyes?

I would rather a fully functional program with little to no GUI than one with a graphics heavy display.

...the estimated value (via Codex's wonderful database) of the inventory (and, by extension, items in trades), SDB, and shop.

(The item database gets updated often, although it's not 100% accurate, which is why it says the estimated value)

Actually unless Inkheart wrote something that automatically updates that webpage, or he updates it himself every now and again, chances are that the prices the program uses have been the same since release.

they are i think he used a static list that needs manual updating for the pricing for it to be accurate.

true say, =\ where abouts could i find an updated list

One doesn't exist in the format that Inkhearts reads from. Either Inkheart updates it, someone spends hours slaving away at the DB, or another programmer does it.
