Ok now see what your referring to. I have no problem. Is there perhaps a problem with your color settings on your monitor/ lcd screen. I guess they could color the inside to make it more visible?
Chappyskiski idea is also worth a proper discussion:
Purchase list
so
Title: Order By Distance sorting of purchases
Details: All purchased is sorted by closest distance. Assuming normal sql database it would require a Order By Distance instead of current Oder By Date_Purchased
Workaround: Script by Petee. I dont run scripts and like in game functions.
Was it suggested before:Yes by Chappyskiski
Does it meet requirements:Yes
Rice Farmer: Refers to the traveling merchant math problem. That is irrelevant. As you open a market it already shows correctly all the distances from your position.. It is just a matter of ordering this from distance instead of date. The developers can perhaps share their algorithm with rice farmer if their interested as pointed out its not relevant and was implemented in a function that is called each time you open a market. Sorting it will be easy something like for for next next where the inner for statement determines the shortest distance for specific outer for position. Ok on second thought see what rice means still dont think that is what chappy asked for. Not really necesarry to cater for it so it remains irrelevant. Simple sort by shortest distance is easy to implement and players can use their brains to see when a item is in a opposite direction. Allowing a one directional shortest path pick up will already help us a lot. If I follow Petee's script explanation correctly also not an implementation of traveling merchant shortest path algorithm. As I see it a player would anyway want a one directional path as he would usually tie it in when he is going to a fort battle. Perhaps best would be a straght path algorithm so you select end position . The program chops it into section loads destinations in range as entered by user (say not more than user entered minute deviation and displays a graph with path and allow him to remove some items and select full path. Perhaps Petee can work on that for us in the meantime
.
If someone can explain to me why this forum just doesnt promote good ideas to implementation?. That is more like the problem than format issues. But see nowhere that Chappyskiski was even referred to correct format.
