Need someone to set up a commodity market, help please!

Hi everyone!

I'm the creator of the Monkeys Mod and I released the last version of my mod (v. 1.18) one month ago. In this version I added 47 new commodities to the game and I actually wanted to set up a market for these (balanced prices, new traderoutes, etc.).
Unfortunately in the last three month I did not have much time to mod, as I had much work in real life (school and so on).
So, I only set up a basic commodity market and now want to improve it. As this needs some time and I need to go on with other things in the mod, I ask for help setting up this market.

I would be very grateful, if anyone, who has basic modding skills (this is really easy to do as you only need to work on the market_commodities.ini) could do this for me. Of course you would get credit for this. I could give you detailed information about the commodities (where to sell and to buy, etc.), but you could of course also tell me your own suggestions.

As I'm not so fast in modding, you can take your time.

So, anyone, who can do this is welcome. Many thanks!

Edit: Please, is there anyone, who can set up the prices of the new commodities for me. It is not so difficult and I could even help you, if something is wrong.

Many thanks to everyone answering!

Please! Is there someone out there, who can do this for me! It would be great, as I could focus on other additions for the mod and could release a patch/new version soon.

So, anybody, who can help me with this, or parts of this, just post here. You will have lots of time to do this and I can also help you. So, please post here!

Many thanks,

Black Eagle

Black Eagle,

Since you have been so willing to help us with the Monkey Universe server, I am willing to to do this for you...

I have no true modding experience but have major RPG experience (which will come in handy) and due to the experience I have now with accessing all the ini's and stuff to modify the ioncross gamedata files, I feel I am up to it ...

This would be great gestoord!

I know that this is quite a boring work and therefore I think noone answered here. You do not need to create a perfect market, just try to find mistakes in the current market (in version 1.18). For example, there should not be a traderoute with only one systemjump that gives really much profit. But for every commodity there should at least be some good traderoutes.
If you need some information, just ask here or E-mail me. I will try to do a list of all the commodities and some of my ideas about where to buy them and where to sell and so on.

I'm really grateful for your help, as this takes just too much time. Many thanks!
