Shop Maximum

[DeathCow]

The 2nd parameter for items in shops should be the maximum number it can have in stock of items.

The following items are for sale here:

Item                          Quantity    Price
------------------------------------------------------
copper-tipped spear           20           8 gold crowns
copper-edged battle axe       20          12 gold crowns
copper arming sword           20          20 gold crowns
copper shortsword             10          12 gold crowns
copper dagger                 28           2 gold crowns
copper staff                  20           4 gold crowns
copper-capped staff           23           8 silver nobles
copper mace                   1            8 gold crowns
copper-bladed greataxe        3           10 gold crowns
copper ore                    77          30 copper farthings


So when the shop had no copper ore to begin with, and I sold 77 to it, it should still not display any information on copper ore when I list in the shop.

I don't have the database in front of me, but I'm assuming the shop's maximum on copper ore is 0?

I know I'm going to take some flak for this but I hate... no... despise the idea of items just disappearing.  I read the "max" parameter as the maximum number of items a shop will regen to naturally; if someone sells items to it that take it over that max, those items shouldn't just poof.  This is part of a larger issue which is keeping track of individual items across their entire lifetimes.  In Major MUD when you sell an item, it's "state" is wiped clean, as it's now just another of an item type in a store (or not even that if the store is already at it's max and we do what you're suggesting above).  This won't allow us to implement some cool features with items in the future; varying qualities, enchantments, accurate limits on uses/charges, etc.

He's not suppose to sell an item thats only use is to sell them to him.  After a month it'll end up looking like

copper ore                    9873621          30 copper farthings

And the entire point is that he's buying them so he can use them.

accurate limits on uses/charges, etc.

Oh yeah awesome! cool feature! I cant wait till we get this working! wow, this will changes everything!

Fine.  Just don't make shops buy limited items with a shop max of 0.  Agreed? :)

That's my point.  Have you ever been to a real junkyard?  They don't buy that shit just to look at it.  They turn around and sell it for a profit; it's a business just like any other.
