Market Preset Searches

[Djanee]

I wanted to put up a working model for feedback and suggestions. I'll work on some additional documentation to make it easier for the general populace to modify the presets.

This mod adds a small button labeled "show" on the broker search window (eq2ui_inventory_market.xml) and a new window with several search preset buttons. Press the button and a new window pops up with 12 preset buttons. Each button can be independently configured by modifying the corresponding preset#.xml file. Press the button and the search parameters get prefilled and the search is run. I have some sample searches set up.

I included a text file with a basic outline of how to modify the preset files and the appropriate values.

When testing, please pay special attention to changes in the window frame and title settings. I think it was just a fluke but somehow I got some value into my server_character_eq2_uisettings.xml. Once I had that issue every time I used the preset I got a message "Usage /tellchannel <chanelname> <<message>" and the SelectedItemIndex part of the macro would not work. If anyone can reproduce this, I'd love to know. I think it may have just been a fluke for me as I was making other window position type changes at the time I was testing this. Once I deleted the server_character_eq2_uisettings.xml file, everything worked fine.

Credits: I started with the old style Mookish Broker window from Deathbane. I didn't like the new graphics and layout, so I just modified the old one to add tier and my little show button. I borrowed heavily from code examples in Kosmos's Performance Panel and Quib's store window. Thanks to Kosmos and dc_roenfanz for helpin me figure out the include syntax.

That occurs when you are in a chat channel and use a script with (x)=1. (/1 is a shortcut for /tellchannel 1). This is due to the way that the game treats UI scripts...

Work-around to try:

Instead of Parent.TierDropdown.SelectedIndex=1 (or whatever it is), try giving the button a property of Tier="1", and then use Parent.TierDropdown.SelectedIndex=(Tier). Not certain it will fix the issue but it's certainly worth a shot.

Just noticed.. there was no documentation on how to change the Presets =\ at least not in my zip file

I'm sorry, somehow I missed the .txt file when I zipped it. It's not idiot proof but you'll get the general idea of how to modify the presets in this text file. Working on better documentation

I do get the same error you spoke of. I have to agree with deathbane27 on his interpretation of why its being caused. Even though i have no programming skills whatsoever, but it makes perfect sense. Are there any updates to this as of yet? i love it!!!! keep it up =)
