Is there a reason people still do the / or \\ shenanigans for windows/linux? It isn't really necessary as far as I know. I'd like to chalk it up to most people not knowing it isn't, but if there is a reason to still do it I'd love to learn why!

can someone break this down for the completely code-illiterate me? Am I meant to just c/p all this into a single script, then create aliases that call on these functions? 

Yep!

Can you provide an example of just one of the aliases calling one of the functions? The breakdown of this is amazing and I want to try and play/create something.

See if you can download that, should include the scripts and aliases I use for managing my shop. Someone else supplied me with the shopdropandroll script once upon a time for auto pricing.

Thank you so much.

I think I might have a larger issue. 

I had a script which was working then suddenly the command returned nothing. 

Same thing here - I entered the alias you set up, and nothing:

System doesn't even tell me that it does not understand - just does nothing.

Is there a setting which tells Mudlet - Hey, we're doing Lua stuff here! which I might have accidently turned off?

Thank you again!

Have you enabled gmcp? Also of you click the errors button in your aliases/triggers/scripts it usually tells you what went wrong, even if it's hard to understand what it's saying.

Just downloaded this awesomesauce script! Anything that helps me keep track of 2 shops is worthy of worship. Anyways, I can't seem to get the update inventory and compare inventory aliases to do anything. GMCP is on. Any ideas?

I've also gone through the shipList script, and changed the listing to fit my own inventory.

There's a room number ID in there for my version. Someone else posted a fix that would make it worn for multiple shops. Which one are you using?

Ismay

Your version. I made one for each shop.

in Shopdropandroll did you see.. ?

shopnumber = 35034 --replace with the storeroom room number

Should be to just go into the shop, hit suinv, leave shop, buy something, enter shop and hit scinv. click errors and see what goes wrong if it still doesn't work

Holy poop on a stick. Finally understand how it works! This thing is wonderful. Thank you!!
