I apologize if this has been covered numerous times before. I read the original state of the profession and the merchant bug list post.


It appears that there is still a bug that causes vendors to not be registered on the planetary map. The bug list post hints that the vendors willbecome "reregistered" after the first visit. Over the last couple of days, I have been unregistering and reregistering. Should I understand from the post on merchant bugs that if I use the vendor in my house in a Naboo player city, that my vendors near Theed will reregister on the map?


The vendor in my home is for friends so it is not advertised. If simply using the vendor works around this problem, I will just work that into my daily routine.


Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Some would need to click on refresh or a category to get the specific vendor to load on the world map.

Are you sure someone has to click on it? My impression was that just walking into the room for a minute or so would cause the vendor to load and go through its initialziation routines.

Not sure... I know that it is not instant on a visit to the house... Maybe a delay or actually take a click. I guess I could test with my vendor in my house...

I'll try to test this myself. My impression is that it doesn't have to be accessed but that Is just a guess based on commetns from the developer at the time they were working on the fix for the XP.

I just tested this on Starsider:


Logged in. Checked to see that one of my vendors wasn't on the map yet. Walked into the tent. Waited a few seconds then brought up the Global Map and there it was. I didn't click on the vendor or interact with it in any way..just let it load and gave it a few seconds.

Thanks for the information and the testing. I will also test to see if simply looking at the vendor in my house might reregister the vendors in Theed. The next time I find my vendors not on the map, I will access the one in my house and see if that makes a difference. But it sounds like simply loading into my house may force them to register... I will have to try logging out on the porch most likely.


Thank you for the help.
