Solved Trade route program

[furkan59]

Hi I am making a trade route program. Currently it is finished for basic things. My target is to find a solution to this problem

- At which port I should buy which item to sell at which port to make my profit maximum ?

I am programming it in java. If you are interested we can add this program to game .But I need the this data :

- Selling and buying prices of goods in all islands ? Where can I find this data in program folders ? If I can reach this data program can be automaticly read this data and tell user to best trade route.

The sell/buy prices change. If you sell a lot, the price will drop because of supply/demand.

I need this function too. Supply/demand function. If I have it I can optimize it. What is this function function of price ?

I think this :
And it bust be a base price for every good. And it must be change according to supply/demand.
If it is true what are the base prices ?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Base prices are in program\goods\init_goods.c if I recall.
And program\interface\store probably contains a link to the other code.

But I think quantity of goods in stores since price is a function of quantity in store.

See ProcessTradeDecrease and ProcessTradeIncrease in PROGRAM\INTERFACE\store.c .
That is where the prices go up/down depending on how much you buy/sell.

It isn't a very sensible system and Levis' idea was much cooler; but it didn't work right and needs to be fixed by someone.
