Trade Values Extended Help
This Trade Evaluation script is a bit different from other evaluation scripts out there. In addition to doing your normal evaluations, it does CPK evaluations, and applies filters to the results, so you are not spammed by worthless trade results. All results are also color coded for easier identification of your best choices.
General Usage
The first step to using Trade Values is to obtain the values for a run from a Trade Post. To do this, go to a Trade Post, and type "valall". This will then send a bunch of output to the mud, obtaining the values for goods to be delivered to this Trade Post. Once that is complete (You sell your pack mule), you will now have the values for that post stored in the Trade Value script. It is possible to store the values for multiple posts, which is a major improvement over other Trade Valuing scripts.
Now that you have obtained your values, you probably want to use them. There are multiple commands that you can use to show you what the best runs are, and a command you can use to send the results of various trade routes to any channel you want. They are:
showlpk
showlpkwin
chatlpk
showcpk
showcpkwin
chatcpk
vallpk
valcpk
For the "show" and "chat" commands, the format is the same:
Command "post" 'profit filter' 'PPM filter'
For example, if I just took the values at the Trellor Trading Post,
and I wanted to see the results, I would type:
showlpk trellor
If I wanted to see all the values at Trellor Trading Post worth
more than 4,000,000 coins and having a PPM of more than 4000, I would type:
showlpk trellor 4000000 4000
Alternately, if I wanted the values to show up in a seperate
Zmud window, I would type:
showlpkwin trellor 4000000 4000
Note:The LPK commands have a default filter of 3,000,000 Profit and 2000 Profit Per Move.
The CPK commands have a default filter of 1,000,000 Profit and 900 Profit Per Move.
Finally, I may want to send the values I've received to
a particular channel (town, clan, etc.). To do this, you use the "vallpk" or "valcpk" commands,
which have the following format:
Command "Origination Post" "Destination Post" "Channel"
For example, if I wanted to report the LPK values from Derah to Trellor
to my clan, I would type:
vallpk derah trellor clan
Special note on Trade Post Names
It is only necessary to use the first 3 letters of the trade post name. It does not matter if you use more. For "New Ashton" and "New Genesia", you must use "ash" or "gen"
