Changelog:

1.00 - Release
1.01 - Added buttons "sell all" (<<) and "buy all" (>>) in the quantity selection menu.

Description:

After buying/selling the goods (or viewing the encyclopedia), the line with this product remains selected, instead resetting the selected line to the top of the list every time in the original game. Also, added the green highlighting of prices for profitable offers relative to the average price (can be disabled in the settings menu of the mod). And also a couple of minor vanilla bugs fixed.



Also in v1.01 added buttons "sell all" (<<) and "buy all" (>>) in the quantity selection menu. They correspond to hot keys 5 and 6 on the keyboard or LB and RB on the gamepad (see the picture below).



Options

Select the Main Menu -> Options -> Extensions -- Options.
(Enter - 9 - 3 by default or Enter - 6 - 2 for legacy menu)



Select "Trader Menu Fix | Options" and press Enter.



Now you can enable or disable the highlighting of profitable offers by pressing 'Enter' or 'Change' button.

This mod is great thank you for it!

I would like it if we could control the average amount used for the green indication.
I imagine a simple percentage setting 0-25% applied to the base value to get a new average level. Trick is to get the best value for sell and buy. Sell would be base plus the percentage and buy would be base minus the percentage.
I spend allot of time looking for the best price I can find so anything that can make that faster and less cumbersome would be greatly appreciated!

For the longest time I wished that you could put a station manager onto the skunk to buy and sell inventory items, like you can set for the main commodities it would be the best feature ever for me. This mod is the best thing in that direction so far and I thank you for it!

Thanks for the kind words!

Implementing your request is pretty easy, but unfortunately I have absolutely no time at the moment to make a variable setting through the settings menu. But you can make a fixed setting yourself.

Unpack the mod and open this file: \ui\addon\mtf\menu_trader_fix.lua

Then find this line:

Code: Select all

 local g_buy, g_sell = traderamount > 0 and buyprice < avgprice, playeramount > 0 and sellprice > avgprice

For convenience, it can be replaced by two equivalent lines:

Code: Select all

 local g_buy = traderamount > 0 and buyprice < avgprice
 local g_sell = playeramount > 0 and sellprice > avgprice

By making changes to these lines, you can get what you want.

For example:

Code: Select all

 local g_buy = traderamount > 0 and buyprice < (avgprice * 90 / 100)
 local g_sell = playeramount > 0 and sellprice > (avgprice * 105 / 100)

Whith this changes only buyprices < 90% of averageprice and sellprices > 105% of averageprice will marked green.

Ah sweet man, thanks for the pointers!

I changed the line of code to the following for a start and it works perfectly!

Code: Select all

 local g_buy, g_sell = traderamount > 0 and buyprice < (avgprice*0.86), playeramount > 0 and sellprice > (avgprice*1.14)

That would be a setting of 14%

Thanks again!
