A new type of macro i would like to see : EverQuest 2 Premium Discussions

Please forgive me if there is something out there like this already.

What i would love to see is a macro that would get the items that you have up for sale, then do a search on them to find the lowest to highest prices that each item is selling for then charts them out so you can see them at a glance and make changes to the prices as you see fit. Then when you have changed the prices it goes and changes the prices for you in EQ.

I would KILL for this type of program!!

Example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chest One select

Button to get prices

Item...............your price....High price..Low Price....1% Below......check to undersell low.....new price to set to

Severed Fir..........14g.........30g............9g............8.90g...................x...........
Severed Cedar....30g..........60g..........25g..........24.75g..................o...........26g
Severed Iron....0.10g.......0.20g........0.02g.........0.019g..................o........0.08g


Button to input prices to the broker
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS: did i happen to say "I would KILL for this type of program!!"

PSS: Also would like to see a macro that browse's the Broker and buys items at or below a price that you set. This would be very nice to stockpile items at a decent price for crafting.

For now its not possible to make a macro lke that, we would need some way to be able to read info from the broker window and there is none so far.

Are you sure the broker window cant be read?

These guys seem to be doing it somehow, even if it is limited. They are beta testing a program now.

It is possible and I believe the source is out there as the author open sourced his stuff when he stopped updating.

Extreme Crafting while it was out had a Extreme Broker module, aparently it worked in the same method as reading a simple green or blue square to tell which tradeskill buff to hit, however much more complex.

My understanding of it was he literally had to create a scan that read the screen around the broker window line by line (pixel lines) and had some sort of OCR design to use it with. Complex, hard to maintain, but was very very cool as it allowed you to purchase any item you wanted at the price and quantity you wanted while you were at work.

I will check if I can find the source, in the mean while if you find it PM it to me.
