Auction House Upgrade - Filtering

[britanica]

The auction house is getting an upgrade. As part of that upgrade, better filtering of the auction list will be supplied so the story is:

In order reduce the time spent viewing individual items up for auction
As a player
I want to be able to search for standard groups of items.

As a wizard, this is what I currently think that means:

Currently the auction house only filters by object name and adjectives.

Already Available
aulist rings
aulist earings

The player should be able to see auction items by item type

weapons
knifes
swords
two-handed

armours/armors
helmets
leggings
bracers
gloves
body

Imbuement
Imbuement Type
Imbuement Strength

price range
under X
over X
between X and Y

proposed command syntax:

Code: Select all

aulist [type] [with (imbue strength|imbue type|) imbuments] [(under|over) price] [between pricelow and pricehigh]

    type - equipment class, imbues or keyword search string.  Defined Equipment class will return all items of that type, Imbues returns only imbued items.  Keyword search string matches the short description.
    imbue strength and type - strength and type.  All keywords must exist in imbuement description for the item to be displayed
    price - the value in platinum for under and over. 
    pricelow - lower price range in platinum.
    pricehigh - higher price range in platinum.

Does this cover your filtering requirements?

Brilliant, will we be able to view only imbues and actually see what the imbue is by doing for instance "aulist imbues"?

[Alisa]

only addition i can think of is rings, earrings and those non-armour armours.

Dont know if they are sortable, perhaps by excluding the head,arms,legs,body(cloaks and capes),chest variations

Lost of chest pieces also covers arms and legs, i do feel that sorting should put them in with other chest pieces


Looks really good.

And what do you think abou items with and without max price? Such a filter can help as well.

[britanica]

Searching for rings and earrings already works with the current version, at least I have encountered no items of that type without ring or earring in their names. I will ensure it continues to work after my changes.

I am still investigating what currently exists in the exiting source for armor locations. I would like to not hard code any lists. If it is not reusable, I will though.

I have added a proposed command syntax which should cover prices and detailed filtering.

Additionally requested:
Ability to list imbuement stones (to display what aulist stones currently lists)
Ability to list unimbued items (includng unimbud weapons, unimbued leg armour)
