/windowstate MerchantWnd close

This was a posted fix. Do it yourself...it's one of the simplest things a text editor can do.

Then, if the fix doesn't work, come back and whinge.

hi, i just started using mq2, so am a total noobie w/ all this stuff. Everyhting posted is very helpful, but can someone link me the "exact" link i replace with "/windowstate MerchantWnd close "?. much thanks in advance.

/nomodkey /notify MerchantWnd DoneButton leftmouseup

should be replaced, I did it in several of the tradeskill macros and still won't buy at all.

Is it just me or is anyone else finding problems using

Code: Select all

/windowstate MerchantWnd close

When I use it, the merchant windows closes OK, but will not open again unless I use

Code: Select all

/windowstate MerchantWnd open

I am using

Code: Select all

keypress esc

instead, although it loses the target. Quite handy for the macros I am writing. Saves me doing a /target clear.

it would seem that even after applying the fix i recieve a "could not send notification to merchantxx leftmouseup" error then it stops... cant buy anything. the xx is a number after the merchant depending on which merchant im at... ive tried multiple and still noluck. any ideas?

Its a bug with /itemnotify in the new merchant window..I'm not up on the syntax for /itemnotify I looked it up in Wiki but it didn't help much..Hopefully someone can find the fix for it.

ive started this Thread reguarding help on the coading of a new buy command... looks promising, im very new to this so gimme some time, patience and alot of help

Posted: **Thu Jun 02, 2005 2:16 pm**

Aiight, so i got a command that should fix it...

Code: Select all

 /notify MerchantWnd MW_ItemList ${Window[MerchantWnd].Child[ItemList].List[=${Name},2]}

now how do i use that in the script? Lol sorry but i'm a little dense when it comes to programing...

PS: i know i should search and read and pour over the code and all that stuff trying to make sense of it but i just can't seem to figgure out how this stuff pieces together...

I'll try to break down each piece for you, though I never really did a ton of manipulating windows or their children. Someone feel free to hop in anytime and point out where I'm wrong.

Code: Select all

/notify

Self explanatory, RTFM if you can't figure this one out

Code: Select all

MerchantWnd

This is the actual object you wanted to send the /notify to, there's a whole appendix in TFM listing the many window names that can be used, while not a lot of description as to exactly what window they are.

Code: Select all

MW_ItemList

This is the child of the object you're trying to /notify. Not all windows have these, but a lot of them do, so get used to referencing them.

Code: Select all

${Window[MerchantWnd].Child[ItemList].List[=${Name},2]}

This is the important part of the whole notify command that you're probably having trouble with. It's also the part I'm not used to dealing with, so I may be off a bit, but you're trying to select an item in the merchant's list of items:
${Window[MerchantWnd] tells it what window
.Child[ItemList] is the child of the window as explained above
.List[=${Name},2]} is where I'm kind of lost too. The ${Name} portion needs to be replaced with the name of the item you're trying to select I believe, but the ,2 is where I'm confused personally. I'm not even sure that part is necessary.

I would have to assume that there should be a leftmouseup at the end of the statement too, in order to actually select the item in question. And then another statement to /notify the MerchantWnd BuyButton(Not sure if that's the button name BTW) leftmouseup after you've selected the item with the first statement.

OK, I'm spent... maybe someone else can help you further.

I'll try to shed a ittle more light on this.

The ${Name} portion needs to be replaced with the name of the item you're trying to select I believe, but the ,2 is where I'm confused personally. I'm not even sure that part is necessary.

With the new type of merchant lists, there are now two types of ItemList objects. ItemList for the old school square box item lists, and MW_ItemList for the newer row/column style item lists. In the new MW_ItemList objects, two fields must be referenced. So in this case, [=${name},2] means match ${name} in column 2. Column 1 is an icon, 2 is the name, 3 is the number of plat, 4 the number of gold, and so on... So, the answer to your question is Yes, it is necessary.

I've spent a couple of hours messing around with this and wrote some scripts to dump data and so on and I'm fairly convinced there's a bug in MQ2 that is preventing the /notify command from executing the leftmouseup event on the correct window in an MW_ItemList. My gut feeling is that there's a function somewhere that's expecting an ItemList object and is not handling an MW_ItemList object properly. I'm probably wrong but I'll see what I can find.

One question I have is why did Lax use MW_ItemList and ItemList in the same command? Does referencing an MW_ItemList as an ItemList typecast it?

Here's something that might work for the time being. I havn't tested it that much but it seems to work pretty well for the fletching macro.

To use this macro, it is necessary to add a 3rd parameter to the buy call to specify whether or not to close the merchant window. For Example, If in your favorite macro there are 4 buy calls in a row, they are all probalby expecting the buy window to be open but after the fourth there's a "/notify MerchantWnd DoneButton leftmouseup" that will fail since they removed the Done button. So for the 4th call you would want to pass a 1 as the third parameter so 'buy' will close the tradeskill window and your combines won't get screwed up because you're still in merchant mode. A '0' will leave the merchant window open, a '1' will close it. Let me know if this works.

Code: Select all

/call Buy ${AShafts} 40 0
/delay 1s 
/call Buy ${GrooveN} 40 0
/delay 1s 
/call Buy ${CFletching} 40 0
/delay 1s 
/call Buy ${AHeads} 40 1     <-- This should close the merchant window
/delay 1s 
/notify MerchantWnd DoneButton leftmouseup   <-- Since this will fail

The same should probably be done for sell.inc but most people sell right after they combine so it hasn't been a problem.
