Trading

[Pamus Bing]

May I ask how many groups I have to join before trading starts? I have posted on so many forums about trading. Britannica is ready. Furybourg is ready. Finlanda is ready. This will be my last attempt to find out what going on. No one has said anything in world. Can someone please make contact? This system is using prims on two homestead Sims.

that is what I was guessing (and did that for the stuff Malibu and I are working with)

What about the permissions on the delivery point and the factory

[Oma Larnia]

The delivery point uses code to give / take objects I will have to look at mine but I don't recall having to set anything special on it, just rez it out and it works. Factory allows managers so the owner can set it to add extra people to take the items for shipping. Only thing I can think of is the land is set to a group maybe set the group of the trade objects to that group when you rez them. I don't think it will affect how they perform...just keep them from being swept away but an autoreturn condition set if any.

[Bridget Jennings]

the delivery point cannot bought - or can it?

Should be no mod - or every one can take the goods (not just the owner).

Allowing copy is pointless (for the same reasons).

I am still wrestling with one (esp after adding stuff to Pamus delivery point in Britanica)

[Oma Larnia]

No the delivery point is owned by the recipient. Owner should have copy mod rights because you want to be able to put out more delivery point objects or add a different product, then you should. I believe there are options for what 'everybody' can do and 'next owner' I have not seen that people can take items out of a object that only the owner has rights to??

What is wrong with the one in britanica?

Regarding the sudden disappearance of trade goods upon delivery and rezzing....

Further investigations lead me to believe that the Trade goods in the factory start to expire the moment the factory creates them. So they will work and rez for the recipient if you deliver them 'fresh' out of the factory. Otherwise the clock is ticking and the goods go 'stale' and will expire the second you try to rez. So this is good to know and hopefull you don't have old trade goods sitting in the factory.

If you can't run deliveries in time probably should halt production until you are ready to pick up the trade game again. Or else hire on some employees using the new money system and have them added as managers who can pick up and deliver for you.

I added items in Britanica tried to steal one - that I did not keep). Did not try to remove any items (rp is that - I do not need to probe every delivery point for weaknesses since that is not RP) I am happy to operate on the honor system

I wonder about the delivery point script, as far I can see and test it not tell on
the transactions history who there comes things in ones box or who take or
steal from it. In some way good. But as I see it also a options for grieffers to
put not so nice things in them other there steal them or the owner can come
to rez. And no way tell where it come from... Just puzling me

I believe the anonymous theft was so that you know someone stole but you would knot know who is stealing. That way you have to find out with roleplay instead of a message that tells you the ID automatically.

[Pamus Bing]

Bridget the way I see it is that you delivered items to Britannica; therefore you should take something in payment/exchange, (after all the silver I produce my well be your stolen table ware) that is if good can be removed from the box.

[Bridget Jennings]

I should try that (perhaps the "steal" should be relabeled). That would make sense out of the bartering system. Thnaks Pamus.

[Oma Larnia]

Steal option was put in there to have a crime committed. :)

Ok this is what I have done,
Name: Britannica Silver Ingots Original
For Sale: Original L$0
No mod/copy
Each Silver Ingot will have the date it was placed in the box, if they were manufactured on the same day the will also carry a number next to the date. I will only manufacture more ingots when the box is empty. This way the silver will have traceability.
