Yes there is,if you send me a mail saying what you want done, i can do it for you

i dont know what your e-mail is :p

Look in ..\DATA\EQUIPMENT\market_commodities.ini

Here are the bases, and what goods they sell. For instance, planet New london:

[BaseGood
base = Br01_01_base
MarketGood = commodity_gold, 0, -1, 150, 500, 0, 1.080000
MarketGood = commodity_silver, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1.350000
MarketGood = ...

Now, the 3rd, 4th and 5th numbers are always either:

150, 500, 0 --> meaning the commodity is sold here

or

0, 0, 1 --> meaning the commodity is not sold here

I guess, but don;t knwo for sure, that the 1st number is the level required to be allowed to buy the good, and the 2nd is the reputation required to buy it.

Now, the last number decides the price, but it's NOT the price itself. It rather seems to be factor with which the default price* of the commodity is mulitplied.

So, changing the gold line into

MarketGood = commodity_gold, 0, -1, 150, 500, 0, 0.010000

would make gold very cheap at Planet New London.

*(I don't know where this default price is set, and I guess it's not in an ini-file, otherwise I would have known it.)

The commodity base price is set in goods.ini

[Good
nickname = commodity_gold
msg_id_prefix = gcs_gen_commodity_gold
equipment = commodity_gold
category = commodity
price = 425
combinable = true
good_sell_price = 2.040000
bad_buy_price = 2.040000
bad_sell_price = 0.840000
good_buy_price = 0.840000
shop_archetype = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\cwire_rawmats_2.3db
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\COMMOD_metals.3db
jump_dist = 7

As you said, the last figure in the market_good line refers to the factor applied to the price i.e. here gold base price is 425 so the BR01_01 (Planet London) price for gold is 425x1.08 = 459

The good_sell_price etc refers to the factor at which the red / green / amber price indicator appears

Circumcisor - you rule! Thanks man, I totally overlooked that.

Actually I had at one point decided that it wasn't there and decided not to look for it anymore. One of the drawbacks of autodidactism
