[MOD] Merchant Pack v4.1

[Didero]

Actually, I have the same problem, a missing blacksmith, and my character is level 25. And I'm sure he was there before.
But with all the mods I have installed, it's hard to put the blame on a specific mod. TorchLeech isn't reporting any conflicts though.

Well, that doesn't make any sense....

Post a list of your installed mods (TLeech, select all installed mods -> context menu -> copy to clipboard -> selected mods). With the fuzzy search we can install the same mods with a click and run them with our test savegames. But we will check only the supported mods. If the blacksmith disappears at our test savegames we can exclude mod by mod to get closer.

I've removed 3 mods from the list that aren't supported by TorchLeech, but they don't touch any merchant at all, so they can't be the problem.

But DistortedTruth also has the problem, and he only has this mod and a Respec mod installed. So it probably isn't a mod conflict. When I check for conflicts in TorchLeech, it doesn't find any either.
But thanks for trying to help, TorchLeech

Mine actually reappeared after zoning.

Hmm, weird. I don't go to the town often, and I haven't had a chance to play the game a lot, being in the middle of finals, so I don't know if he reappears for me too. But I do know the last time I was in town, the blacksmith wasn't there.

Sometimes it takes time for him to appear even when ur in town.

I uploaded a new version, with some VERY small changes.

I removed the Absurd Potions from the static spawn class for the Apothecary since we got the 'merge' feauture worked out.

I increased the magic find on the Wands and Staves from the trinket dealer from the original 400 to 750, which is the same number that the Blacksmith and Fletcher use for their weapons.

Updates are slow right now, my usual unlimited free time to be a dork has been cut back lately. I have a couple of shows this month, and they're somewhat time consuming. Also, I'm about to start playing Dragon Age, which is a gaping black hole of a video game as I understand it.

[Didero]

I played a bit last night, and now the Blacksmith was there...
Maybe he doesn't spawn when his inventory is empty?

Nice mod. I have a question. How do you reset the merchants? Sometimes merchants will still have the same inventory after going through a portal, exiting to the title screen and even after loading an alternate character then loading the original character. Would you be able to add a button to each merchant screen that resets their inventory when clicked, or maybe add another NPC who can reset all merchant inventories when talked to.

Nope, can't do either of those things. However, if you're not getting merchant's rereshing either you're not spending enough time in town before leaving, another mod is causing some weird error, or they are refreshing but you're getting similar items. There's nothing in here that would keep them from refreshing.

[StoneFrog]

A simple but must-have addition to any Torchlight installation. The town merchants in the vanilla game just didn't seem useful enough (beyond potions) and the overlapping inventories triggered my obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I'll give this a try in a bit.

I like this mod because it makes it much more organized so I can find the things I'm looking for.
I have a question though. For the merchant who sells potions, I was wondering if I could somehow make him sell the smaller potions like before?
Because this mod makes the potions scale with my level, I can only purchase the bigger potions even though I don't want to. Thanks!

Agreed.

I swear he can't make up his mind, either - sometimes he sells me massive potions, sometimes not-quite-so-massive ones...

Great mod, this. I already can't imagine Torchlight without it
One small thing I noticed though, when trying to get my ferret transformation fish to show up in the Fishmonger's inventory. Why isn't he using the "PET_RETURN_FISH_SPAWN" spawnclass, but instead has the Catfish and Dogfish manually added? I know I'm nitpicking here, and it's not something that has to be fixed, I'm just wondering why you chose to do it this way.

Honestly, because having an extra spawnclass annoyed me slightly, and because sometimes you want a cat and sometimes you want a dog. This way you have both options every time.

I followed the directions on the first page by typing in the code to always spawn the weaker potions I wanted, but they never showed up in the game. I think I may be typing the code incorrectly or in the wrong place. I have no potion mods except the respec mod so I just want all the original potions the merchant had before to spawn instead of just the ones that are scaled to my level. This is a part of what I did:

[OBJECT]
<STRING>UNIT:Health Potion
<INTEGER>WEIGHT:-1
<INTEGER>RARITY_OVERRIDE:1
[/OBJECT]
[OBJECT]
<STRING>UNIT:Mana Potion
<INTEGER>WEIGHT:-1
<INTEGER>RARITY_OVERRIDE:1
[/OBJECT]

I tried putting that in the merge folder in MERCHANT_APOTHECARY_STATIC but nothing happened. Could someone please help me?

[Lathlas]

That should work. That's exactly what the Static spawnclass is for. The only thing I can guess is that you aren't clearing your cache out. You need to run the remove_binaries file every single time you change a mod.

I was reading the spawnclasses wrong. It does apply a chance as to which transformation fish you get.
Further proof finals aren't good for you >_>
