I'm releasing the first version of my BotShopper plugin. It's in an alpha state currently, but works decently. The plugin allows you to easily check and add items from Trade Bots. It can easily switch between using a colon or a comma when specifying values. Check the site for more details: http://www.haxit.org/decal.php?plug=botshopper

1) cannot filter items by type like MuleShopper

2) cannot create custom filters for items by type like MuleShopper

3) cannot get items specs like MuleShopper


I like the comma/colon toggle. MuleShopper should be upgraded to have a colon/comma toggle, as very few bots use the new MuleTrader; but when you run into it with MuleShopper, it's a pain (I personally skip those bots).

Next version of Muleshopper will have a 'distinctive' key in the greeting that shopping programs can use to automatically configure themselves to use the proper syntax for that bot.


Thanks cheese for taking up the gauntlet. It is VERY refreshing to see someone actually doing something rather than just complaining. Of course, you have now been initiated with your first complaint about what your program doesn't do, with comparisons to some other program that is no longer supported or even worked on. Welcome to the ranks!

Next version will be a step up hopefully . This was my first plugin, and my first time using C#, so I'm happy just having something showing up in-game. I've already recreated the UI using what I liked from MuleShopper (hope you don't mind) just need to add all of the backend code.


New UI might look something like this:

p.s...by MuleShopper, I of course meant Mule Trader...

Now you're talkin'


Being able to even write a working Decal plugin is a great accomplishment, don't get me wrong.


But showing up at the Paris airshow in 2006 with a biplane will generate a few smiles and pats on the head, and nothing else.
