Fix for merchant price bugs
 
As of right now, the displayed price for an item (whether selling or buying) does not match up to the actual price you see. For example, when you sell an item, you get more money than what is displayed. In addition, everyone, regardless of faction or charisma, receives the same prices.

I looked through the code and it was really a mess. There is an existing function in client.cpp which determines a modifier based on charisma and function, but it isn't used anywhere. Further, the code contains no less than three different, contradictory rates for merchants.

So, I polished up the code and fixed the relevant functions, they're down below. If you want to just download the updated .cpp files, here they are: http://70.189.190.124:8000/merchantfix.rar

Also, should this make the official release, there is a comment in Live_structs.h which says the "rate" variable in Merchant_Click_Struct no longer works. This is no longer true, so it should be taken out.

Thanks for the fix, I don't know what's going on with the "official" stuff, nothing seems to get posted. I'm sure Trevius will have added/posted to his upcoming 1110c release.
Can't wait to try this one out, I'll have it in my source today -
Also, I always wonder why items sold to vendors never stay there - with me they poof by the next time i click on vendor so as to see what I sold.
Thanks again, your fixes are much appreciated.

greggg230 06-12-2008 06:49 PM
I should mention the base rate for merchants is .884 if they're buying and 1/.884 if they're selling. This was just one of the rates in the code so I decided to run with it. A few project for me or someone else could be to make this into a database entry so that people could customize the rates merchants give to people.

leslamarch 06-12-2008 07:28 PM
Thanks for the great fix, I did limited testing and seems to work just as you intended :D

trevius 06-13-2008 12:21 AM
Sweet! I will definitely try to get this added to my unofficial updates for the 1110e release. Of course, I will make sure to run some tests on it before posting the new version. Looks like we might have a new coder out to help fix some issues :D I will test out your LoS agro changes too and see how it works. That one seems complex to fix since you don't want things agroing through walls in separate rooms. If it seems pretty good, I will try to get that one added as well.

greggg, do you know if this will also affect the "salerate" field in "items" table of the DB, which suposely should control... SOMETHING price related?

if yes, then how?

From everything I can tell, it does nothing. It's probably an obsolete variable at this point. It's not clear what it might have done in the past. Unless I'm missing something faction, charisma, and the base price of an item should be the only variables needed to determine actual price.

Fine Steel Short Sword has a value of 5500, and I was able to accurately predict its sell and buy prices without even knowing about sellrate. Its sellrate is 9, apparently.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, though.

ChaosSlayer 06-13-2008 02:32 AM
i was under impression, that 'salerate' was some sort of an option to set a custom sell back for each specific item - could realy be usefull in order to create items which would sell back for 100% base price (i can think for dozen fo reason for having such items) - or at least its the only logical explation that coudl posibly fit the description of the field name.

of course the thing never worked, so... =)

but it would be nice to have it actualy working this way =)
(could also be interesting to have item which would sell back for ABOVE base price - again for various reasons) =)

Moving to submission. To make it easier on KLS/Scorp, could you diff your changes?

Sure.

Line 3717 of zone/client_packet.cpp should be changed from:

Code:
mco->rate = 1.6;
to

Code:
mco->rate = 1/(.884*Client::CalcPriceMod(tmp,true));
line 3842 of zone/client_packet.cpp should be changed from:

Code:
mpo->price = (item->Price*127/100)*mp->quantity;
to

Code:
mpo->price = (item->Price*(1/.884)*Client::CalcPriceMod(tmp,false))*mp->quantity;
line 3947 of zone/client_packet.cpp should be changed from:

Code:
price=(int)((item->Price*mp->quantity)*.884);
to

Code:
price=(int)((item->Price*mp->quantity)*.884*Client::CalcPriceMod(vendor,true)+0.5); // need to round, because client does it automatically when displaying price
line 4001 of zone/client_packet.cpp should be changed from:

Code:
inst2->SetPrice(item->Price*127/100);
to

Code:
inst2->SetPrice(item->Price*(1/.884)*Client::CalcPriceMod(vendor,false));
in zone/client_process.cpp, the following should be moved from 878 to 804:

Code:
Mob* merch = entity_list.GetMobByNpcTypeID(npcid);
line 831 of zone/client_process.cpp should be changed from:

Code:
inst->SetPrice(item->Price*127/100);
to

Code:
inst->SetPrice((item->Price*(1/.884)*Client::CalcPriceMod(merch,false)));
line 862 of zone/client_process.cpp should be changed from:

Code:
inst->SetPrice(item->Price*127/100);
to

Code:
inst->SetPrice((item->Price*(1/.884)*Client::CalcPriceMod(merch,false)));

CD, for those of us who used to be WinDoze users, can you tell us what the correct Syntax is to create a diff file?

Thanks

So_1337 06-17-2008 12:45 PM
Another great fix. Keep up the great work, Greg! =)

In Linux, diff is integrated in the os. You can make diffs/patches via command line. There are also some very nice graphical interfaces you can add, that help you see even better (kompare, xxdiff).
When I first started here at EqEmu, I couldn't for the best of me, get the source to compile under my windows box. So I took it to my Linux box where I had little trouble there - it was better this happened to me, because Linux Distros usually come "developer ready" and have all these neat tools like diff, kompare, compilers, etc. They are all just as available as my "dir" or "copy" command in windows.
I think I'm gonna try windows compile again with that new compiler package that's posted here, just for the challenge.
Anyways, you usually can google what you need for windows - I just googled "diff program for windows xp", and came up with a whole swarm of stuff. The diff toolshould be self explanatory on how you present it here.

moydock 06-17-2008 03:35 PM
Great fix man thanks, I've been hoping someone would fix factions, and I didn't even realize it was giving the incorrect gold when selling.

I know about the diff command, was looking for a specific command line.. but that's ok.

Hey Angelox, try compiling the BOT CODE in Windows and let me know if it works for you. I can't get it to recognize that the BOTS are compiled in. Have everything set as AFGAIK in Preprocessor and files are all in place, but no go.
