Alternate Currency merchant limits

[chrsschb]

I'm wondering if they retain the same 80(?) item limit as regular merchants or do they have a different limitation (hopefully higher) due to their different window and sorting features.

I found this but haven't had a chance to test yet (currently populating slowly):

client_process.cpp

	const Item_Struct* handyitem = nullptr;
	uint32 numItemSlots=80; //The max number of items passed in the transaction.
	const Item_Struct *item;
	std::list<MerchantList> merlist = zone->merchanttable[merchant_id];

It seems other merchants like alternate currency ones can list up to 255 items.. (i think)

I'm on the UF client, so if that 255 item limit applies that'd be super nice.

Thanks!

Well, according to that code snippet, it seems to be hard-coded at 80 regardless of merchant type, so putting 255 items on an NPC may not even work; however, if you want to remove that limitation you can try the below Perl file that auto-generates merchant entries to a .SQL file using the first 255 items (1001-1255).

sub A {
    open $file, ">test.sql";
    my $n = 1;
    for ($i = 1001; $i < 1256; $i++) {
        say $file "INSERT INTO `merchantlist` VALUES ('1', '$n', '$i', '-1100', '0', '0', '65535', '100');";
        $n++;
    }
    close $file;
}
A();

Working on it, I have 120 items to put on this currency. Gonna take a while to create them all though

Likely a better idea to test the limitations first using placeholder items so you know how many you can put on each NPC.

I already have a solution in place if I can't. Not a huge deal. Soon as I hit 81 gonna reboot and test. I have to do this work anyways, so it's not any extra time.

chrmgold.pl

sub EVENT_SCALE_CALC {
  my $money = $client->GetCarriedMoney();

  if($money < 0) {
    $money = 0;
  }
  if($money > 64425000) {
     $money = 64425000
  }

  $questitem->SetScale($money/64425000);
}

Don't think that's related to what he's wanting to do, haha.
