Merchant Archive

I'm confused. I just became a merchant and I'd like to have my sign appear on the overlay green-transparency map (not the planetary map). Is this achieved by Management I or by Advertising III? Also, if it IS the signs in the Management column which allow my text on the green overlay map, is there any difference in the four signs of the Management column (other than their ever-so-important appearance), such as range of visibility on the overlay? Thanks.

For your vendor to show on the overhead map (Ctrl-M) your vendor has to be registered on the planetary map (Adv 3).

Look in the manual or website for the Customer Service phone number. You can also sometimes find a CSR in the chat program.

Ok...Not exactly what I was looking for was calling an In Game CSR...I have heard of people calling them and they appear....Wanted to know how that was done....

If you get them from the Chat program...I will have to figure that out...But either way, I need to talk to a CSR in game...

Only way I have meet a CSR ingame was as a result of a ticket (Ctrl-H). It was nice to get my money back.

THis bug is driving me crazy today...

I can't get my vendor to start.........

Just give me a command in theto type in, is that so hard......

Eh... Can you elaborate on: line breaks and how do you copy stuff in swg? Control+C doesnt work.

You have to add the copy, cut, and past commands to the key-map your self... As described in the guide.

---

Cut, Copy, & Paste:

• Ctrl-O (options), Controls, Map Keys, Chat Controls
• Remap Cut (Ctrl-Shift-X), Copy (Ctrl-Shift-C) & Paste (Ctrl-Shift-V)

---

Options => Controls => Map Keys => Chat Controls
Mine are, Copy: Crtl+Shift+C and Paste: Crtl+Shift+V (I do not use cut)

Awesome! thanks

From my obvservations in the past two days:

- you can get exp from visitors every 10 minutes, not 15

- you dont get exp until your vendor is 'in the world', but as soon as someone browses it you get all the exp you should have got.

Well I'll see about releasing a new version next week. I am starting to update my local version today.

Have any of the following bugs been fixed??? Any fun new ones to add?

Not on Planet Map: This is related to the above item. After server reset the vendor must exist before it will show on planetary map.

Not Initialized: Even though vendors have been initialized, some vendor gives you this error when using it. Only effects Droid annd Terminal style Vendors. Workaround Thread

Multiselect Item Deletion: If you multiselect and retrieve more than your inventory can handle, you will lose the items that do not fit in you inventory.

Tax on Offers: Offers to vendors in PC are taxed. Thus, items that are resold are taxed twice.

Disapearing Vendors: Vendors randomly vanish, sometimes returning on server rest, sometime not. This may be tied to the house being on a server boundary. CSRs have fixed a few.

Vendor Damage: Vendors do not report that they are nearly out of maintence.

Custome Ad Barking: The %TT and so on do not work in the "NON CANNED" barks.

Failed to create vendor. Your inventory may be full. The volume of the female Aqualishes are bugged such that it takes up more space in your inventory than you have available.

Signs in wrong place: Merchant Signs on some house are not placed correctly.(Partial List: Sm. Corellian Style 2, Sm. Generic, Med. Corellian, Med. Generic, Lg. Naboo, Lg. Tatooine)

PS: I broke 6 million this weekend. Not bad for a casual player.

Nope all of those are still there. I have a bug list post I started while you were gone. We need to make sure I have all of those. (I think for sure I am missing a couple of those or more)

Congrats on breaking 6 million. As a "pure merchant" that is quite an accomplishment.
