it is it works good and that just means u loaded a list w/ an item worht 99k cause I have over 500 items and none cost that much

[Melchoire]

Damnit you beat me to it. Anyways it looks really cool. Simple and effective. For the record the package of items costs around 230k. If you use the shop wiz to buy the items wouldn't you eventually get wiz banned?

Cool beans! This should save meh some time. Nice work

[jellymaster2]

this didn't stop 4 me but it does have 1 thing that I noticed it does it buy multiple of 1 item from the list u supplied and it doesn't store a bunch of items I think every 3-4 items it buys it doesn't store 1-2 or maybe its just me

Ok, I have a few things to say.

1. It has a run time error after a while, closing the program and not saving what you bought, making it buy all over again.

2. Sometimes it buys items twice, or doesnt put them in SDB.

[Rikku]

I got the same thing as one of the people here.. there's an item on here.. on of the first ones I have a d=feeling that costs 99k.. because I just lost about 100k when I started the program...
and I used the list that came with the program

[Jeffler]

Tis very good, but Fungree (a 50k item) is on here I'm on G right now and its already racked up a pretty penny. (175k or so)

Alias - I have a few suggestions for a seriously cool packratter

this will help you get items a lot cheaper (I know I used this method when I went for the packrat avi)

it never cost me more than 50nps for an item
have 3 settings - max price (say 500nps), and autobuy price (say 25nps), and wizz searches (say 10)

have a file that contains a list of potential items and price - order this list by price
load that into an array that also contains a flag to say if it's already bought
have it read your SDB and flag those items from the array, add in items that are not on the array (and add them to the bottom of the file)
start searching using the wizz by taking the top item from the array that's not already bought
for each item do 10 wizz searches
...store all the shop links in the searches (only unique entries)
...then go thru ALL the shops
......for each shop check every item (all pages if required)
......any items that are less than the max item price and not already bought then add to a temp array with shop link and price (if it's already in temp array check the price and update price and shop link if lower)
...once you have gone thro all the shops you have an array of potential items
if the item you were searching for is less than the max price, buy it
any items <25nps auto buy
the rest of the items update the main array prices and re-sort in order of price (and save the textfile off again)
then start again from the top

wow... nice idea

[Mumei]

well if anyone uses it, just put a little line in the credits

[_windu_]

Any idea why this dont work for me? Is the list included into the program or do I have to get my own list? I'm sorry for bringing a old forums back up but I'm just concerned.

[Freddy]

hmmm one of the items cost me 99k but im not sure which one ... could u make it include a log of what it buys and for how much so that at the end of the day when I have 0 np left I can cut the list to where I have reached and so that when I wanna sell the items I know how to price them...

jesus, u know how long that would take? that is retarted anyway, dumb idea.

[Bains]

yea but if its buyin items that are 99k then somethins up.

[arthritis]

[Shubham]

[cab]

[Sweeney]

Are you surprised? It's over two years old...

[Oaken]

The program has not been updated since the shop wizard was also updated.

Should this program be removed? I'll contact alias and see what his position is on whether he is going to update his programs.

Wow, December 2005...

It's a handy handy program so if it could be updated that would be pretty cool

I spoke with Alias and he said that he probably wouldn't update the program. Are there any programmers out there willing to update the program? Perhaps we can get the source from alias? Can you find out Oaken?
