Program Creation
Three of the previously removed programs have now been completed and are almost done being tested by the Beta team. These three programs are:
- Kitchen/Edna Quester
- Auto Adopter
- Auto Trainer
Items Database Improvements
In an effort to improve the Buyable-to-UB transition of item prices in our items database, the background pricer in the Program Manager will now be alerting the database of items that it could not successfully price. When the database receives too many of these alerts, it will reset the price to "Unpriced" so that users can manually edit the price (thus marking it as an Unbuyable).
The database currently supports the transition from UB-to-Buyable just fine (since if it finds it in the Shop Wizard, it will eliminate the custom price entered and use the automatically-determined price).
The next step in the database improvement will be to more accurately price Unbuyable items. Various schemes have been suggested to us, such as parsing TP wishlists, using auction prices, etc. We will continue to evaluate which direction is best to take and see what happens.
Happy Holidays
Today marks Christmas Eve. For those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas from the Neocodex Staff! For those who don't, Happy Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever it is you celebrate/don't celebrate.
We're also less than a month away from Neocodex's 8th anniversary of being online. Pretty exciting!
