I'm trying to redo the way quality effects the buy/sell price of an item when you craft it by making it simply be valued off a percentage of it's original value based on the quality level, but for some reason I can't set the value of an item after it's created?

Under my main player event, I have this to test it:

ON=@SkillMakeItem
ACT.TAG.CRAFTER <SRC.NAME>
ACT.VALUE 1
SRC.EMOTE create a <ACT.NAME>

Technically every item anyone creates should be valued at "1" right now, but it's ignoring it. I know the trigger is firing because the TAG.CRAFTER and EMOTE work just fine.

I also can't do .set value in game at all, it won't work. I just get "Invalid set".

Any ideas?

value is read-only.

You can alter QUALITY (a little known, undocumented, item property), but only on certain "types" of items (like armor and weapons)... items created out of thin air by a vendor have zero quality (I seem to recall that the scale is weird too 1-200).

Try it in game... use:

.xshow quality

...and target some items sold by a vendor. Then craft your own stuff and try it on those.

We do need a developer with access to the code to explain what item types can use the quality property however...

If you have a bash shell, try this from the save directory:

Code:

grep -i quality sphereworld.scp | sort | uniq

...or in a windows command shell:

Code:

findstr /i quality sphereword.scp | sort

(I don't know if there is a MSDOS uniq command)

yeah, I was fiddling with quality too. Although I was also having another problem, seemed no matter what I set an item's quality to, the price refused to change. Very odd, because (at least in 51a) the price the directly connected to the items quality, for everything you made. At least, that's how I remember it.

The items im testing I know can have quality values too, because they're all t_armor/t_weapon types at the moment.

So, I'm quite baffled why everything I craft is selling for the same price, be it crafted as Smithing 1, or smithing 1000.0. Even the default sphere system should be varying the price based on quality, and it's not. :/

Thats what lead me to try to set the value based on quality, but then I ran into the problem above. Smile

So, if VALUE is read-only, I need to go back and discover why quality isnt adjusting the sell price..

Also, I recall 51a allowing players to buy items off a vendor previously sold by another player, that doesnt seem to be the case anymore..?

Not sure how you're going to fix Sphere completely ignoring the quality of an item with the vendors unless there's some flag I'm not aware of all screwed up. Tongue

You know that we can fix everything..
I just need think how to do it in vendor system.
I hope you trust me, you saw what I already did for our project..
We will have the most awesome sphere server you know it. Smile

Oh, you do great work. I'm glad to have you on the team. I'm just really curious what you're going to do. Tongue

The rate we're going, Aetharia will be one of the most unique servers ever made. We already have more custom content than most servers, and the server isn't even playable yet. Wink

Good luck with that. The only "fix" I was able to find was completely re-doing the buy and sell menu system.
