Find the 2012 version of EP's Perfect Haggle script attached. No changes from the previous version, but updated expiration of 12/31/2012.

There used to be additional info on Grimy Trader, which is no more, so ask any questions and I'll be glad to answer them here. The brief intro for those unfamiliar with the script is this: it makes every possible credit when haggling. Anything else I say will just sound like bragging

Thank you very much

Thanks EP, it works great

So I put this on while trading with world trade and it will auto haggle instead of the haggle built into world trade? (never used this before)

Thanks EP...

I especially like the Blue haggle option to keep exp down when desired.

Thanks for providing it...

Seems to be a problem

yes , Toyman .. it will be repaired soon ...

No Problem, I didn't see where anyone had posted. Plus someone posted it worked great So I wasn't sure I tested it a few times to make sure.

It worked great for me last night on ICE9

It seems to be working fine for me on my PC running XP and TWX 2.04. I haven't tried it on my windows 7 PC running the version of TWX for that yet.

I do have one question about the planetary trade setting which I've been meaning to ask for a while. When I get the settings using the * key I don't see a Ptrade %. I do see one that says Trade %. Is that the same setting?

Yes

The fix has been sent and just waiting for the email to be received and applied.
Then we will have another go

There is a readme.txt in the zip.

Okay, the file in the first post has been updated so that it works for both in-game years - 2024 and 2040. Thanks for the quick feedback, and let me know if you encounter any further trouble.

There is a file included in the zip file called haggle.ts. If you want to use Pack2 routines like WorldTrade with my haggle, you need to rename the haggle.ts file in the Scripts\Include folder, drop the haggle.ts from the zip file into that same folder, and then launch EP_Haggle2012a.ts. You'll have to configure the Haggle Options, then press semi-colon to continue. You can also toggle #8 so that you aren't prompted for haggle options each time it's launched.

The routine waits in the background until it sees a port make an offer, then it takes over the haggle portion and kicks the port in the teeth, then it goes back to waiting for the next time a port makes an offer.

Give it a shot and let me know what other questions you have.

Ooh... I've been thinking there needed to be such a thing. A way to get the most money you can without gaining XP. I may finally, grudgingly, give TWX another chance.
