🤖 AI-Assisted Development

Note

This codebase was developed with heavy AI assistance. All major features, bug fixes, architecture splits, safety error-resiliency wrappers (pcalls), and ImGui layout designs were codeveloped, refactored, and audited in collaboration with Antigravity, Google DeepMind's agentic coding AI.

🚀 Intent & Core Purpose

PriceCheck acts as your personal merchant companion in EverQuest. It connects directly to live progression market API endpoints (tlp-auctions.com) to evaluate item values, log user tells, and automate broadcast marketing (/auction) with human-like timing delay debounces. It ensures you never undersell valuable loot to NPC merchants or buy items at inflated prices.

✨ Features

• Individual Market Queries: Drag items to the Drop Slot or query them to view live statistical analytics (Average Sell/Buy, High/Low WTS/WTB, and sample counts).
• Automated Sales Broadcaster: Select checked items from your history, set custom listed plat prices, and queue multi-line broadcasts with customizable random debounce delays (default 400-600ms) to evade chat filters.
• Bulk Inventory Scanner: Instantly evaluate your current bags on startup or demand. The scanner pulls median prices, compares them with merchant values (Value), and highlights vendor-profitable items in gold/green.
• Lootly/SetItem Quick Sells: Profitable vendor items show a /setitem sell button to automate quick offloads.
• Tells Logger & Quick Reply: Keeps a clean history tab of incoming Tells. It dynamically parses messages, highlights match interest in your listed items with sum totals, and supports custom quick replies (e.g., "Sure, near Parcel").
• Sample Size Alerts: Displays warning icons [!] with informative tooltips next to entries with low price samples (configurable threshold).
• Configuration Suite: Adjust safety thresholds, debounce timings, and default replies inside a green-styled Configuration dashboard, automatically persisted to local JSON files.

📦 Installation & Setup

1. Copy the pricecheck folder contents into your MacroQuest directory:

   <MacroQuest_Directory>/lua/pricecheck/
   

2. Make sure the folder contains:
   • init.lua (Core controller)

3. Launch EverQuest and start the script:

   /lua run pricecheck

🧪 Offline Testing

To verify network connectivity and parsing logic without launching the game client, run the mock environment runner from your terminal:

lua scratch_test.lua

This runs a mock EverQuest environment that outputs HTTP transaction results directly to the console.
