iRO Market Site for all servers

[Motivus]

Ragial gives live vend information and price history.

I've been lazily working on that site for some time now. As of a few days ago it is finally live. If you have any suggestions or feedback feel free to post it here or follow contact directions on the site. It's mildly related to OpenKore because it does use a custom market plugin, the older version of which I posted in the plugin forum. However, the majority of the work is done with the server side scripts.

Looks neat.
Hmm Ragial, then you are the minimap guy?
I've always wondered how you actually drawed the line on this, using the A* algorithm.
Is it a feature in Wx or OpenMap (sulphur) that i missed out on? Or some modification on it?

[Motivus]

The minimap program has nothing to do with OpenKore. The only thing I jacked were the fld files, but it works with gat/rsw and fld2 file types as well. The code was entirely created by me, including the A* implementation. I posted the program but it is awkward to use because I spent less than a day coding it (I had done the A* a few months earlier).

It was mostly a "how do I make a simple OpenGL thing" type of application.

The method I used is efficient but has no movement application. It just flagged map tiles with a bit flag as "TYPE_PATH", and when it came time to render the map TYPE_PATH tiles were drawn in green. Adding support to the wx interface wouldn't be that hard because paths are returned as an array in the current implementation.

Saw the map generator. And I was in the middle of doing something like that as well lol

I wonder why the iRO people aren't complaining about client hacking and stuff. Isn't it that having a fully complete and functional minimap an imbalance against the others who have the plain old minimap?

I've also seen some discussion about the fld2 format. Maybe I've been slacking far too long from openkore, but I can't seem to remember anything about it Could be the onset of amnesia from an accident I had? Anyway, it would be interesting to have that implemented as well.

It should be fixed now.

Edit: Or later, I have class and it is still broken.
Edit2: fixed

Wow nice work!


suggestions:
filters, like cards, armors, maybe something for rare items.\
Like if a item hasnt been vended many times and is over xx mill (selectable) a search for that

A lot of work yea.. Im already speechless at how awesome this is. I just made 5 mill from your page already. Im not an expert coder or anything, but if you need any help with anything I'd be willing to help.

Good suggestions.

There's already filters, kind of. If you type armor, card, headgear, shoes, garment, 2h weapon, or weapon it kind of works. The problem is I build my item database from the iRO client's description table and the descriptions aren't consistent. A lot of item information is missing. Once I get a better item database I should be able to make it better. Items with no classification are labelled unknown. Also, searching 'shoes card' limits it to cards that go in shoes (etc, etc)

The rare item thing is something I will add, but right now the main page is sort of frozen. I need to finalize the user system and tinker with jquery/redesigning the site a little bit. The biggest change I have planned is to change how all the search pages look. After that is done I will most likely focus on making the site friendlier to use. The main page will also be fully customizable in what it shows. You will be able to pick certain items, or turn things on/off. It works as it is and that's why it's up+public, but it could be better.

I don't play RO currently or use the site to locate items, so my usage of the site is mainly to poke around and see how it handles things. I encourage people to keep posting suggestions, pointing out bugs, and whatever else. Any links to venders with invalid items (those with the apple image) would also be appreciated. I think I knocked out most of them, but a few may be lingering.

Hi Motivus,

Might I ask if you're using the mercDB plugin with OK to populate your database?
I've been having great difficulty running this plugin on my Win XP machine, so I'd be interested in how you got it working (or whichever alternative you've been using).

Regards,
MK

Edit: I seemed to have narrowed down my mercDB problem to an incompatibility of the start.exe / XSTools.dll compilation and the necessary DBI dependencies. I now have mercDB working very well on my linux box, doing very much the same thing as your website, only locally. I'll keep you guys updated on whatever useful changes I implement.

Great work, though! ...and sorry for hijacking your thread!
