When I put down the vendor, I am standing inside the vendor. Do you mean that you don't move from being inside the vendor before you initialize it?

I have done it both ways so I don't think this is it but try whatever you can to get up and running. It apparently is more difficult for some to hit the right combination of steps than it is for others. I don't know why

Is it possible for you to try putting a vendor in another location (A friends house or something? I want to see if the problem follows you around or if it is just in certain places)

I sucessfully initialized my terminal on TC using the methods already in this forum without the setpermission thing which I still don't understand. *sigh*

OK, I messed up. I got a terminal vendor to work, but forgot to put maintenance on the blasted thing. So I thought, well, I finally figured out how to get these things working. I'll just pull it up and put it in again.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. I'm so stupid.

Won't initialize. Won't initialize in my house, or intwo of my friends' houses. Will not do it with a fox, will not do it in a box.

Stupid! **Beats head against wall** Stupid!

I have tried every suggestion on this thread and still can't getthe terminal vendors to work. I don't know why we have to try all these methods, don't the devs know that the terminal vendors don't work? Would it be so hard to just fix them instead of players trying everythingincluding Voodoo to make them work???

The purpose of this thread isn't that you HAVE to try all this..these are things that people used to get their vendors working in SPITE of the error. Yes the solution is to fix the vendors. That isn't done yet. How long will it take? I have no clue. I can only report the problem and let you know when they say something about it. Until then we try to give you guys a way to get on with your gaming lives. Sitting around waiting on a dev soltuion is certainly up to you. I would try myself to get around it in the short term so I could go on with my life.

The method described here did not ever work for me. This did:

Drop Vendor

Rotate Vendor to desired position

Initialize Vendor

Radial - initialize is still there - pay maintainence

Use Vendor

This method for me works every time. Nothing else I tried did work.

---

After trying every method described in this thread, THIS ONE described above finally worked for me!

WOOT

This is how I got it to work.

Place the vendor, rotate it if you want.

Open radial, click initialize and AS FAST AS YOU CAN open the radial again and hit Use Vendor.

With mouse press and tapping 1 you should get it fast enough if your not good with "point'n'click" type of games.

set my house to private

created vendor

set house to public

then placed vendor

did the workaround

wallah it worked!

I know this isn't an optimal solution, but if you have Business IV and you leave even a bugged vendor in your house for about a week, you can get 900 merchant XP for Novice Merchant (6 skill points). At that point you can get a random NPC vendor, and the NPC vendors are not bugged; they work right the first time.
