Ideas for Stendhal/GUI for Harold: Difference between revisions

== Stacked items ==

You give a stack of items to Harold, lets say 100 wood, and set a price for one item, not for all 100! This way other players can decide how many pieces of wood to buy. For example, a player just needs 20 wood, so he pays the money for 20 and gets the items, without having to buy more than he needs. A stack of items at one price will count as one offer, but you are able to put more items into your offered stack to refill it. The stack will expire normally like every offer, so you have to prolong it regularly.

Also, when you refill the stack it gets prolonged automatically. But for every time you prolong manually or refill your stack an offering fee should be taken again. I don't know how the fee is currently calculated, but the more items you offer in one stack (or refill), the higher the fee should be. (For refilling it should be just calculated with the amount of the refill, not for the complete stack, as not to pay twice for the items which were already in the offer-stack before refilling.) Calculating the fee should also keep the price of the offer in mind.

=== Selling ===

When you drop a stackable items, a checkbox appears (in the image, it's labeled "Separately"). By default it is checked.

Also, next to the quantity selector a label appears (labeled " / pc", meaning "per piece"). If you uncheck the "Separately" checkbox, then the "per-piece" label disappears.

=== Buying ===

When looking at the list of items to buy, the buy-buttons for stackable items are labeled such as to make it clear whether the stack is offered as a whole or it can also be bought separately. For example, in the image, there are stacked 2 offers:

* you can buy 16 porcini for 100 money

* you can buy up to 32 porcini for 10 money each

When you click the buy-button on a stacked offer that allows partial buying, a pop-up appears for choosing the quantity.
