Turmfalke's TradeBot

Hi everyone,
In the last days I have worked on a new friendly bot called TradeBot, the purpose of this bot is to sell all the shiny items I find during my wanderings. The current functionality of the bot is very basic and might still be full of bugs so let me know when you find something fishy.

Commands:
  • !help
    ok it is more a placeholder when something useful but I plan to change that in near future.
  • !list
    this command lists all Items which a currently for sale. Since I have to respect the flooding protection it might take a while to finish.
  • !buy <quantity> <id>
    now the most important command, the command to actualy buy something. Quantity should be clear, the id is the number enclosed by brackets from the !list command.
  • !money
    the command to get your money from sold items
  • !add
    a command to add items to the bot who then will sell them for you.


    coming not so soon:
  • !get items
    the command to get unsold items back
Any questions?

E: ah I forgot please send the commands via /whisper. General chat won't do and will only annoy other people.
E2: the bot is located on map 009-2.tmx coordinates: 18, 103 or better known as Selims house in Hurnscald.

another edit:
Since a lot of people seemed to have trouble with the !buy command a small example here.
When you have a line from the bot like the following here:
TradeBot: [selling] [20] 5 [Pearl] for 5000 each

the 20 is the id used for the buy command so a /whisper TradeBot !buy 2 20 should trigger the bot with a buy request for 2 pearls.

Ok I think I fixed the bug so the bot should now be ingame till the next eA crash.

@Gouki: The bot is in Selims house in Hurnscald and yes for the commands you have to use /whisper.

I think he means if he can whisper to it from far away. Which you probably can't since you have to be near your trade partner.

correct, for commands like !list you can be anywhere but for !buy you have to be in trade range.

Skipy I think they already have it planned if not finished for TMWServ, this is just Turmfalke's tradebot.. not an official feature.

ok since I started adding items for other players there is the new command "!money" to collect your money from items sold under your id.
The "!add" command is in experimental mode but basiclly works, but befor I will make it public available I need a system to avoid that people abuse my bot buy adding ridicule offers. I am thankful for any ideas.

I tried to talk to the Tradebot with:

/w TradeBot !list

Is this the correct syntax? Because although the chat tab opens, I'm not getting a response.

Is this because TradeBot is whispering back and my character ("Earhole Gringo") has a space in his name?

thanks,

aro

It has to do it slowly to not get banned.

Maybe takes a little while if other people are doing it at the same time but both /w TradeBot !list and /q TradeBot and then in the chat tab !list work for me so maybe it is the space.

no the space shouldn't matter, are you sure it was /w TradeBot? cause the log doesn't displays that you whispered anything to my bot.
