[solved] marketshop quantity

[jamesandrew]

How to refresh the quantity of an item in stock? (market_refine_)
I tried @reloadscript @reloadbarterdb and even restarted the server, it didn't work.
The stock stays the same like the last time I purchased the item

}

I'm using the latest git and pre renewal.

If you want to update the stock programmatically, for example on a certain event, you can use npcshopupdate.

*npcshopupdate "<name>",<item_id>,<price>{,<stock>}

Update an entry from a shop. If the price is 0 it won't be changed. May also be used for
marketshop to update the stock quantity. For unlimited stock, use -1.
For other shop types, the stock value has no effect.

Which means to reset the stock of item 1010 in the market_refine_prt_in shop, you would do it like this:

npcshopupdate("market_refine_prt_in", 1010, 0, 999999);

If you want to simply change the stock for testing purposes, you could edit the shop in the market table in the database.

In your NPCs case, if you check line 588 in the file npc/merchants/refine.txt, you will see the NPC refine_barter_init.
Which uses above-mentioned npcshopupdate to update the stocks of the NPCs in your post when the script gets loaded.

So if you only care about resetting the stock of those, reloading only the script where the shops are defined should suffice.
You can use this command to do this:

@reloadnpcfile npc/merchants/refine.txt

Thanks for the explanation. Very helpful!
 

So... If I want to use unlimited quantity for 1010 and 1011 can I use marketshop and change the quantity to -1 ?

Exactly.  npcshopupdate uses the same arguments for stocks as the marketshop itemlist, as it is also explained in the script documentation:

"marketshop" can have limited quantity of an item in stock.
Use -1 in the stock field to have unlimited stock in a marketshop.
