Plugin Idea - Guaging public interest

[lii]

I've been pondering an idea for a plugin I've had for some time, and given public interest I may actually pursue it.

Basically, it would be a tool to transfer gold to the mule account. How I imagine it would work is: There would be 2 plugins: the server (mule), and the client (farmer), and any number of clients could be used. The server would have a que that it would execute every hour. When the client reaches a certain goal (for example, reaches 20 million gold), it would ping the mule requesting a spot in the queue. On the hour, the mule would start D3, join a game, and sequentially invite those in the queue to the game to trade. Once all trades are done, the mule would log off, and the farmers would go back to farming.

I'm also interested in somehow combining this with HappyAuction so the mule would post gold and collect unsold gold from the AH.

A couple questions:
1) Is this the ideal way to transfer gold to the mule?
2) Would you be interested in item support as well?
3) Is there any way you can think of to improve this process for better efficiency?

Well the first thing that comes to mind is.. Last time I looked into this there was no actual way of initiating the trade UI (that I could find)....


As for integrating with HappyAuction.... Not sure why you would need to... You should be able to interact with the AH in DB just fine like you would any other element.. Have not checked that though...

Hmm. A definite hurdle. I just assumed that it would. Does demonbuddy have methods available for literal mouse clicks? Or better, generic interact methods that could facilitate portrait interaction?

Que is not a word. Just a heads up.

Thanks for the contribution.

Mouseclicks, nope.... Portrait interaction, Kind of.. Can tell you its there but actually initiating anything under the right click menu.. Pretty sure that is a no also...

K. Guess I wont post that there would be a ton of problems guaging which items are to be kept and which are to be traded to mule. Not only this. But I dont see how you would be able to make two bots join a party. Its not supported just like trading I think. Unless someone knows otherwise

Having the bots party isn't a problem through the social menu.

Though going to go back and look into the trade initiation again as its been some time since I looked into it briefly.. very briefly....


He was also speaking to transfering gold not items... As for items.. Just use the built in scoring and take the highest X score... Not exactly ideal but would work if your item rules were pretty strict and you only transfer highest scored rares and all legs...

Would you be interested in item support as well?

he said this in first post.

and using highest X score is extremely not ideal

It seems this would be the easiest part. Like Stranger mentioned, just do it according to the loot rules set in Trinity.

this plugin would create a pattern.
blizzard loves patterns.

i don't support this.

 

[Harmacintyre]

On mules lots of people store items for future bots. How coukd trinity possibly distinguish these from what u want to sell. You would have to implement a gui of some sort to choose offlimit stash slots. Sent from phone

Well, it was a nice thought at least

Feel free to close mods.

Do it please, and best of luck to you. Intrabot interaction is the way of the future.
