Presumably, shop specialization could be turned off, or made equal for everything, fixing that problem. IIRC, the value of the object is largely its sell value (with various adjustments), buy price is higher. I'm also not sure how you deal with multiple items (too lazy right now to look at the patch). If I have 20 arrows and set the price to 5000 sp, is that 5000 sp for all 20 (250 sp each), or 5000 sp each? You could get odd effects with that also. I'm also not sure if it being on the shop floor may set the identified flag - if for example you set the price to 2000 sp, but that is before it is identified, then once identified, the price could go up quite a bit. IIRC, unidentified items only get pennies on the dollar (silvers on the platinum?) The real fix for all this would be to add an object flag like 'flag_true_cost', which causes the buy/sell code to use the op-value without modifying for various things, basically like the gem code (but with just a minor increase/decrease for buy/sell, but a fixed amount, so you couldn't sell something for the same price you bought it). Perhaps even use a key/value in the object itself to denote that rate? this I think also fixes other problems, in that price is also tweaked based on other attributes of an item - wands are basically pro-rated based on the number of charged. So if the seller set the price for a wand with 10 charges to 10 platinum, the query_cost would effectively reduce that to 2 platinum since the wand only has 20% of its potential charges, etc. I'd think that for this code, when you set the price, the player doing so is already taking all that into consideration and doesn't want the code further mucking with the values. ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire

Player-owned, shortened form P-owned :) I think you should beable to set the buying price if you own the shop. --- Nicolas Weeger [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: But i'm afraid what happens when high lvl players sell quest items for very few platinums, and so soon many low level players maybe run around with those stuff... Or high level players sell stat potions very cheap so low level players have full stats very soon. Well, right now you can simply give a weapon to a player, so it's not that different :) Also, don't forget there is the item level, which should prevent low level players from using too powerful equipment.

[crossfire] Player-owner shop proof of concept
Hello. I just made a small proof-of-concept of player-owned shop, attached to that mail. Just a map and 2 Python scripts. Basically: mark an item, go to the table, say sell price in silver coins, then drop the item anywhere. To buy, it behaves exactly like a regular shop (well, right now, if you don't have enough money to exit, you'll stay on the mat, but apart that it's ok...). Only use top mat to buy, as I didn't hook the script to the bottom one. Note that you can sell for any price, but when bought the price is reset to real price - don't ask me why I did that, I guess I don't want prices too strange. Things I'm thinking to improve: * concept of shop owner * put paid money in a pile owner only can pick (obvious) * regular fee for shop to be opened (equivalent to paying an employee to run the shop?) Not putting it on tracker, as I want comments and will improve/change in the next days/weeks at most (so it won't be lost :p) Nicolas player_shop.tar.gz Description: application/gzip ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
