• Generates an easily-readable data listing of all of the e-mails saved through SWG via the /mailsave command.


• Based on the e-mails, generates semi-colon separated customer lists, divided into vendor and bazaar customers for quick and easy 'thank you' mailing lists.


• Generates metrics on how many items were sold, the grand total of credits earned, and break-downs of how many items each vendor sold and how many credits each vendor earned.


• Data generated can be saved into comma-delimited or tab-delimited files, and then re-loaded at any time.


• Optional ability to define, through text files, as many partner splits as needed, based upon vendors.

The tool is in beta stages, now, and I need people who are willing to give it a try. As far as I can tell, it's fully functional. It's been tested on a Windows XP Professional box running the .NET framework. If you don't have .NET, you can get it through Windows Update.

I've set up a temporary website here that has the full text of the readme file on it, including instructions and a link to download. Please let me know if there are any problems (geocities stinks).

Hmm, why VB is quite nice, i used it for a lot of file-related programs

I don't sell enough stuff for this to be of any use to me, but this looks very nice

Keep up with the hard work m8

Very nice work so far.

Let me run something by you and see what you think. I am having some trouble right now because I am buying resources from several people on consignment and having trouble keeping it straight. I wish there was a way to identify which items I bought from whom so I could pay them later when the item sold. Of course it is tricky because you can't really tell. even if there were a way to just list all my offer purchases it would help me keep it straight.

Well in theory, if you wanted the full 9 yards, you'd make a way to account for purchases ("You bought auction of 200000 plumbum iron for 4000000" . It lists this ressource as one of your buys, you can additionally add the name of the res, it's stats, etc. You can then select a schematic from a list, say that you will use that res, and make X items. Your program displays the max experimentation on each stat, the cost per item. You can then decide a percent margin you want to add to get your sales price.

You could manage your full inventory of sub-components, item, etc, get the final prices, manage customer listings...

This is of course, an incredible amount of work to put into such a program, you need to load all the schematics (although if you use text files so that they can be replaced easily, and make your own tool to make these files...). You then need to list them all, manage an inventory of ressources, etc... It's a huge project, but it would be the ultimate program for crafters/merchants I'm just giving ideas here, i know how long it would take to make such a program, but it's nice to think of what you could add in the future versions

Good luck with the program mate, and yea, i understand why you switched to C#, VB is just a pain when you want to manage so much stuff at once...
