RELEASE CANDIDATE

CitiTraders is in RC, which means that while I feel that it is close to Release, it not perfect, if you see any issues, please use the issue page to let me know, but otherwise I feel that it is ALMOST bug free.

CitiTraders

CitiTraders is a set of Citizens 2.0 traits that gives NPCs the ability to:

• Buy and sell items for pre-set prices.
• Maintain an inventory.
• Work with Economy plugins to use bank accounts, owner accounts, or a per-npc account.

You can visit me on irc.esper.net in channel #cititrader to ask questions, or make suggestions, or just to talk

Installation

CitiTraders requires no configuration by itself. However it requires that you have Vault, an economy plugin that can be accessed via Vault and

Creating a new npc as a trader

/trader create [NAME] -type [TYPE]

[NAME] - Name of the NPC to create [TYPE] - type of NPC to create, (defaults to PLAYER if omitted)

Adding trader to an existing NPC

To add trader functionality to existing NPCs use:

/trait stockroom

Buying and Selling

(If at any time you get stuck and a trader is not responding, close any windows and type /trader cancel)

Accessing the storeroom of a trader

1. Get a book
2. Hold the book
3. Right click your trader while holding the book
4. Place items into traders inventory

Setting Buy/Sell prices

/trader sellprice <amount>

and

/trader buyprice <amount>

after either of these command, right click the trader with the item in hand, this will set that items price with this trader. Prices are not global.

Buy from a Trader

To purchase goods from a trader you need to Right Click a trader. This will open a trade (inventory) window that lists all the different types of items the trader has on hand. At this time you need to select the item you wish to purchase, Left Click on the item you wish to purchase, this will take you to the purchase window, here stacks of items will be made available, but only up to what the NPC has forsale. At this point you can Right Click to see the price of the stack, and Left Click to purchase the stack.

At any time you can click the Arrow to return to the item select screen.

Selling to a Trader

To sell to a trader first Left Click the trader, an inventory window will open, drag any item you want to sell to the trader to his window. Close the window. The prices will be caluculated and deposited into your account, any items he doesn't take will be dropped to the group on close. (This is going to be changed, Items the trader takes will be listed, and consumed on drop)

Wallets

Admin

Setting a Wallet to admin will create an ADMIN shop, items will not be removed from the shop on sale, and money will be removed from players bank, but not deposited anywhere.

Private

The NPC will hold any money that he makes, and you can withdraw the money later.

Player

The money from sales and sales will be withdraw/deposited into the players account directly.

TODO

Discounts

There will be group/player based discounts, they will be percentage based.

Sales Display

Will be changing the way sales are displayed and handled, NPCs will list what they are buying in the inventory window, and players will drop and drop the item to the inventory, and the item will be sold immediately. (This change will trigger a release phase)
