I used a list I had from when the igloo aber was available, and it says its refreshing etc but I dont know if the list will actually work.

Also, how does the aber know which shop to buy them from?

This will not buy from the igloo shop. You put your shop id in the box that says shop ID in the settings page for each account.

Here is a demo video for everyone... :-)
Entelechy Demo Video

I have a few AB lists, if anyone's interested...

And, I have gotten some good items so far, like a draik toy... (not going to place full item name here, for fear of being iced)

EDIT: I see Chromox has the exact same lists as me, rofl...

Nice video, helpful, great program, very nice work Chromo

[Shadow]

Yes very nice job on the video I'm sure almost anyone could figure the AB out after watching that.

[ChromoX]

I mean in the first place I would have thought that some of you guys could have figured it out without that much trouble, but I guess I was wrong.

[Shadow]

Ah yeah its easy to run if you have java installed lol. If not then the average user wont know what a jar file is.

[ChromoX]

Yeah, by the way I have seen 30% performance improvements with Java 6. You should try it out. My program is completely compatible with it.

Chrome I just found another bug for you. If you autobuy in stamp it will just sit there and not autobuy anything. I cant get it to buy anything in stamp after numerous trys so it has to be an error somewhere. Hope this was specific enough.

[ChromoX]

What exactly happens(Does the status update? The Log update? Or does it just sit there?) and if there was an error at least let the program stay open for 3 minutes so it sends it to me.

Ive let it sit for longer than 3 Im pretty sure but it wasnt purposely. It just sat on "Refreshing Shop" status. I don't know if the program was refreshing or not but if it was it wasn't waiting as far as I know. It works fine on the other shops as far as I know I'm testing the other shops now that this happened with stamp. It could just be me who knows.

I also just got an Unknown error when it attempted a med soap not sure what happened I havent had any success with this at all today.

Edit: I keep getting this error every restock. Half of my buys are unknown error messages.

Pricer does not work at all.

It gets the prices, I click on set prices, nothing happens.

I also have same problem as shadow with unknown reason thingos.

Maybe it is haggling failures? Because currently my option is set on take away 100 np from price...

*changes haggling option*

Also, would it be possible that you make it seem more human, by making an option to haggle at prices such as 17777 or 262626?

i agree that would make it seem more human... and the more of that the better

it worked for me. it didn't show up on the gui but it did when i went to my shop... like actually manually logged in and viewed my shop. worked fine just didn't update the gui.


o and another suggestion might be to have the pricer check the shop wiz multiple times to find a better price. because sometimes if you have an item that there are only a couple of on the wiz then the price range is from 99k to 5k and it will put you at around 50k or if you use the subtract 100np setting it might only find the higher amount

wow not sure if i was exactly clear there.

Yeah the unknown error is because the stock id wasn't found. I have yet to figure that out yet, but I am tryint to see what actually happens when it misses it. When it was stuck on Refreshing Shop it probably was exactly that, the wrapper I am using for all communication to the neopets server doesn't have a timeout, the next version will. :-)

After you click set prices click get prices again and you will see the old price change.
Yeah I will work on the error messages and yes unknown reason could be haggling problems. I usally have mine set on Haggle % and set it on 98 percent.

And yes I can add human like haggling to it.

Yeah I got you, have the pricer check the wizard multiple times and compile all the results and then take action?

[BinaryAttack]

good job

[Shadow]

Ill try setting it to Haggle 98% to see if that helps I actually did have it on subtract 100np I think just because it was default.

Ill update if anything goes wrong.

Well I am going to have one more beta before the 1.0 release. I completely rewrote the Autobuying Engine. It is about 1.2 times faster and uses about 2x less memory. Plus it allows me to build other stuff into it easily. Also I added a feature called stale item detection, which allows the autobuyer to figure out if the items that are in the shop are so called "stale" meaning the shop is between a restock and there are still items left that you don't want. This cuts down on the number of times your refresh lessing your chance to be restock banned. I hope you understood that explanation.

Next I am rewriting the pricing engine.

sweet thats awesome. and that is what i was trying to say about pricing the items. glad you got that. good job so far

[Shadow]

Awesome stale pricing sounds good. If it could do that then couldn't the program eventually just use no list and buy the items that aren't on the "stale list"? Anyway I can't wait to test the new beta.

Yeah thats actually exactly what it is.

[fruglemonkey]

How long have you been working on this?

[ChromoX]

Well hour wise I have put 24 hours into the making of it. According to my IDE.

Actually here you go...

CODE

Project Entelechy: 23 hours, 42 minutes
Project NeoSDK: 13 hours, 27 minutes

By the way NeoSDK is the whole technology behind the Autobuyer that allows me to abstract an account into a bunch of classes. Basically it creates a whole API for most of the neopets site from neomailing, to money tree, to main shops, to usershops... It does everything almost.

But that time is mostly from building everything from scratch.
