While it effects the customer, the issue is taking place on the bot (seller). So I would agree with Gouru that it is a seller thing.


But in the end it doesn't matter. I think how things get prioritized are based on how it effects Gouru.

I could stretch every feature to be either a seller or a buyer feature. Things that make life easier for the seller, indirectly help the buyer by making it easier for the bot to sell more stuff, or be online more. Things that make life easier for the buyer are a seller benefit because they will sell more stuff.


In this case, I see it as primarily a seller convenience feature, with the buyer benefits being indirect, and nothing I've seen so far convinces me differently. And since I decide priorities...

And that is why you are gunna have multi versions of mule trader out..


The majority of sellers are not going to upgrade unless it helps them. The buyers Will adapt like you just said. The only way you are going to get everyone with one version is to add the feature that directly influences ME the seller.. Untill something that directly changes for the sellers is added they dont care what version is being ran. The Stacking of payments, while a low priority to you, isnt to alot of the bots you buy from everyday.

Or until a Decal update breaks the older versions and people will have to use the latest release.

Obviously Gouru is in a position that wields him that power...so that just might happen.


Until that time though, expect there to be multiple versions with no real rush to upgrade and for the people who took the time to upgrade, they will have to deal with the issue of most users not bothering to learn the new syntax and instead just shopping at the bots where the old syntax that they have learned over the last 4 years still works.


We appreciate the work that is being done Gouru, but throw us a bone and give us a reason to upgrade as currently there just isn't one.

I doubt it would be intentional. More likely something like how Decal handles views gets changed to improve perfermance and plugin authors have to change a few things in their apps to get them working with the new view system.

Sounds like some bug fixes, which is usually a good reason to upgrade. But until the older one is no longer functional then there will always be at least one person hanging on to it.

Hi ya I changed to the new Mule Tradeit Teriyaki Joe loves it.

Thanks Much Gouru!! (The other older Man)

I think I've decided I like the 'throw us a bone' metaphor you used and the visuals it creates.

Appreciate the plugin, and love the way it works. Just a question:


Why did the funtionality of specifying a value for multiple items change from a "," in between the item and the value, to a ":" ?


I.e., Add Salvaged Steel (100): 45678


instead of, Add Salvaged Steel (100), 45678


That seems to be something that, for the moment, is confusing patrons, despite the very specific and excellent instructions.

Comma as a delimiter confused the selling of trade notes which have a comma in their name.


If you want to sell trade notes, the new version is required.
