I would like to upgrade out bot to the new version, but if I do it means people will no longer be able to use mule shopper. It would have made more sense to release both together, all this has done is make a mess of things. Now reports does not show the amount of points spent by the customers? I would have rather put up with the comma issue than to have muleshopper and reports broken! And now G says he won't do anymore for a long time? Please return it to its previous state!

Request: Make a list of commonly used point items to choose from like AC Trade had. I can't even begin to describe the horrible spelling of some of the bots on Solclaim. That, and the fact that they only accept 3 out of the 5 common tradenotes because they don't know the correct values (I know, I know) makes it tough for a lot of people to shop.

I cycle plugins to try to keep everyone happy. For the most part all it succeeds in doing is making everyone mad because I'm not working on the one they want me to work on.


I agree, Muleshopper should have come out at same time, though I don't know how many people actually use it. I have source code, not sure I can build it because it fails to load completely, missing some control. It could be the control is not needed, in which case I just have to remove it from the project. But at the bare minimum, it has greatly increased the 'testing' time of the plugin to make sure it still does what it used to.


I will check with Gol to see if it's okay to release Muleshopper code. It was sort of a last-minute add on just in case I wanted it too. I picked it up, but really hadn't planned on supporting it at all.


As to the points display issue, that one mystifies me because I checked again and I wasn't anywhere near that code. I'll check a little further and see if it is an easy, relatively 'safe' fix.


For the past 20 hours, I've been at my daughters dance competition with 300 other kids, plus parents. No trophies in round dancing, but her square took first place in the intermediate division, and the club took both the exhibition first place trophy and best club entry tropies. Her square has advanced one division every year since she started dancing, and with the first place win today they are forced to move to the Senior division, which is the competitions highest level.


Oldest person in their square is 15. Most senior division dancers are over 18. They have their work cut out for them next year. So expect to see me even less then.

Congrats to your daughter Gouru!

Work should lighten up a little in ~4 more weeks :[p

I will fix Muleshopper if you need a hand

Actually, ~4 more weeks is about when the final push begins. I don't think 'lighter' will apply. You might try talking to me in August though. As a Pri 0 component, we have to finish early.

I certainly appreciate the effort you and many other dev's give to AC and the support community. Without decal and the aid of many plug-ins I would have quit AC a long time ago. I am however a bit disappointed with what seems to be a somewhat lazy approach to the maintenacnce of both decal and plug-ins post tod. I (and apparently alot of other people) have had a number of ongoing decal problems regarding client crashes, updating and several plug-ins not functioning at all. It can be frustrating at times and often at least for me I have no outlet other then the utilities board. I don't want to come off as being rude or demanding just hoping to voice things that may be able to help the process.


Muleshopper and Muletrader should be on the same page.


Thanks for the effort. Please keep it up.

A lot of us simply don't have the time we would like to spend on Decal. I am a student and I'm taking a large selection of engineering classes, which kills my time. Others work at Microsoft and are getting workhorsed to death for Vista.

My 2p - the 0 value on transactions is not at all customer friendly. It prevents me from applying rational discounts as rewards for patronage. The loss of historical sales records was most unfortunate and it's being compounded daily.


I don't see how you can stress benefits to buyers and then introduce a colon as a substantial change so that sellers can flog MMD's. I did transfer over the world folder and the on again off again display of clan/individual discounts is another concern that can hardly be described as customer friendly.


Do appreciate the work that decal devs put into these plug ins but the constant thumbing of their noses is very offensive when real issues are raised.
