    I'm glad to present KoukiMarket V0.1, an unofficial trading platform made for the community of MapleLegends.

    STATUS: RETIRED

    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    To make "Add item" remember character name and discord username, please see "How to do".

    If you want to help with this project, then please take a look in "How can I help?".

    All suggestion and feedback are ofcourse very welcome!

    I'm glad you asked, there are a few hurdles I need to overcome for this project to reach it's final stage.
    Since google forms doesn't support Captchas, they can be spammed if someone wanted to. Which is why I'm looking to host the google form on a website to allow a captcha. However, I don't know anything about coding websites or hosting, so if you are knowledgeable in this area and want to help me out, please let me know!
    I need lists of the following items:
    • Etc items
    • Use items
    Preferably, I'd want them split in categories (Scrolls, return scrolls, potions and so on)

    1. You add an item using the link provided above
    2. That item is now sent to the searchable spreadsheet, which can be found using the link above
    3. By typping "CTRL + F" in the spreadsheet, you will be able to search for the item your looking for, or search for a specific persons items
    4. You can make the form remember your name by using this link
      docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf8lpfU8DZJktmUX14jJCedk6rJqHmSgpQX-PuQlPmiaCaS2g/viewform?entry.1760535530=Kouki&entry.325666658=Kouki%238517&entry.1729187198&entry.899813717=1&entry.1848740230=Scroll
      And replacing the bold parts with you character name and discord name.
      In URL hashtag=%23

    V0.1 - Alpha (Only support scrolls at the moment)

    How would the KoukiMarket be updated?

    The biggest issue I see is that some of the items listed may already be sold.

    Items are added automaticly when you click send on the formula.
    As for the project I will personally be updating everything.

    Ofcourse, but I believe this is a minor issue since:
    • You have a timestamp for when the item was put up, so you can always ask the person if the item is still for sale :)
    • I plan to add a script that deletes items that are more than 7 days old, to keep the items fresh.

    I think it's a pretty neat concept and while the project is still in the beginning stages, I'm always down for an alternative to spending nx on owls MapleF3 I wanted to suggest perhaps adding a column for FM shop locations if applicable to the seller? And maybe right next to that there could be a column that shows when that persons shop is expected to expire so people know which shops have probably timed out or not grinmush

    I could add that, but you would have to fill that out in the form every time you add an item.

    How about an additional textbox where people can write whatever info they think is important for their item?

    EDIT: Just sold my first item thanks to this project :)

    That is a very clever use of those applications, nice work! You'll need some kind of SQLite browser to import that list of equips.

    Is the current scroll list just in the google form as a list of drop down options or is it coming from a database?

    I think that this is an excellent concept! I have to give you my congratulation.
    The only thing i would add is that if you change the format from the price cells to number format, it 'll look even better. Thanks for your idea and your effort.

    Thanks! It's okay, I cleaned it up in excel :)

    It's not coming from a database right now, but it could just as well do that.

    Yes. That's an issue I'm aware of. The problem is that when the data is moved all formation inside the sheet is lost.
    I'm working on a solution, using a script that copies everything into a second sheet so we can have some formatting.

    Awesome work! Admittedly I don't have much to sell nor do I possess the knowledge of item prices at the moment, but I was wondering if it's alright if I added items I see on sale from other players' shops? Although that may create the issue of inaccurate recording of time stamp...I have a tendency to go through each player stores (whenever possible) and update myself on various item price so I thought I could help pool pricing information at least.

    I'm both sad and happy to announce that KoukiMarket is retired.

    The reason for this is that a much greater solution is in the works.

    If anyone who sees this post in the future and have questions about this solution, then you are welcome to send me a message.

    Mods may close this thread!
