DtlTraders/patterns
Overview
Every pattern is saved in the patterns.yml file located in the plugin's main folder. (plugins/DtlCitizensTrader)
You can change the directory in the configuration file.
There are 2 types of patterns:
- Pricing patterns
Sets item prices and pricing tiers.
- Item patterns
Will add certain items to the trader's stock, also has item tiers.
Incoming a third pattern type with 2.6 (long way to it):
- random patterns Those will allow to set maximum items a trader can have showd in stock (like 10 of 20), also set timeouts, "spawn chance", amount and price chances that will be used on each item when it's timeout passed.
All patterns are based on one syntax that is used to build item scripts. Those scripts are used by each pattern type, just each pattern type uses it in another way.
Item syntax
This sound horrible, I know, but it's best way to explain it in two words :D
Every item within a pattern is build up by some keywords and flags you may use, many options you can't achieve with a basic trader setup are here allowed, but you need to be careful.
Keywords

Flags
Item flag
flag
Item pattern
Item Lore
lore
This flag allows you to add lores to your item. It needs always to be set on the end of a item definition and needs to end with :. If used always supply a lore. How it should look like will be shown later.
Stack price
sp
The price calculated for this item, is always applied to the whole stack, not to each item. example: price = 3$ | amount = 2 | without sp: 2*3$ = 6$ | with sp: 3$, so 1.5$ for each
Pattern multiplier
pm or !pm
Forces to use or to ignore pattern multiplier matches
Basic syntax
Item patterns
Each entry in a pattern has the same syntax that looks like this and it should be always done like this:
id[:data] [keywords...] [flags...] [n:...] [lore:]
As in the example best way is to set after the ID all keywords then flags.
There are two exceptions in this rule.
The name keyword is best used on the end because you don't need to worry about that it will interpret any other keyword or flag as a item name part. But if you want you don't need to set it on the end just remember to always add two spaces after the item name. (the example shows that with the lore flag)
The lore flag needs always to be on the end, it's a YAML syntax requirement, that will allow us to add lores easily to the item.
It's really simple to add items to a pattern, just need type their name or ID, and data if needed, all other values got their default values or behavior, so you don't need to be afraid that you may forget to set something for an item and it will break the pattern.
Examples:
wool:14 - will add to the traders stock a red wool block.
wool s:3 n:My white wool - will add to the traders stock a wool block, at slot 3 named My white wool.
276 d:80% e:smite/2 p:1000 - will add to the traders stock a diamond sword, with smite level 2, price 1000 and durability 80%.
Much more going to be added soon.
Lores
Soon :)
