Unfortunately it doesn't let you haggle .

Does in V0.41

Hmm, interesting... what's the process of haggling and how does it work?

That's for me to know and you to find out

You wouldn't expect a real trader to tell you how he works out what price they'd accept from you, would you?

All you need to know from a players point of view it works the same way as described by the DMII guide / handbook / walkthroughs etc etc (i.e. place a sum of money on the table that's less than the advertised price and you may or may not get a deal).

All you need to know from a dungeon designers point of view is that there's a new parameter for SHOP_STOCK, which is the absolute minimum acceptable value for the trader (which they're very unlikely to accept, but theoretically might); they'll do the rest.

Ah, right. So I would just put slightly less on the table than the asking price, because it may get accepted as payment intead of the full amount.

Neat!

Cool, so many new fixes and features in V0.41, so .... when will you release it ?!

I managed to get in PC DM2 a blue steele and exscymitar for nicely cheap...he was obviously feelign generous that day... lucky for me as i couldn't afford them full price!
