Would someone please point me to a list of stores in the vanilla game, if this exists? I'm writing an item pack mod, and I'd like to patch items into some of the SoA/ToB stores.

 

TIA for any help

I don't need the names of the shops, or a listing of the items sold. I need the filenames of the .STO files for the merchants themselves, so I can patch them in my .tp2.

[Azazello]

Do you want just vanilla stores or all .STOs? If the latter, then just about every items pack has the code for doing this.

Just vanilla, please.

Can't you just download Infinity Exploder or what? Sheesh.

I have that, There's no Mac version of IE. I was hoping there was already a resource available for reference, so I don't have to go down the very long list of .STO files (every container is also a .STO file!), and figure out which ones are relevant. Also, I don't appreciate your tone, FWIW.

Kinda hafta agree--don't know where & why that huff was needed.
 
Eric, I did a half-hearted search but didn't find a 'List of Vanilla Shops in BG'. So if you can create one, even just posting in this thread, it'll be useful for others. (It'll also show up in a web search.)
 
I still think the best way is to look at the earlier item packs e.g. Weimer's and the code is probably specific to vanilla shops.
 
Also, I'm sure you've already seen the STO entry in IESDP, so at least you'll how to filter out shopkeeper Stores.

You could also 'pick' your stores by item.

 

E.g.: Lets say you wanted to add an item to all stores that sell scrolls of raise dead (which should be most 'cleric' stores), in that case you simply have to open the 'raise dead scroll' in NearInfinity ( I hope that one works on Mac ) and select 'Find...' -> 'find references to this file' -> deselect all file types except 'STO' and you'll get a neat list of all stores with that item.

Why don't you simply look for the relevant ones by checking the appropriate bits of the store files and print the right stores on screen or into a text file?

For example

COPY_EXISTING_REGEXP GLOB ~^.+\.sto$~ ~override~
  READ_LONG 0x08 store_type
  READ_LONG 0x10 store_flags
  // checking if store is a real store and buys or sells items
  PATCH_IF (store_type == 0) && ((store_flags & 3) > 0) BEGIN
    PATCH_IF ((store_flags & 3) == 1) BEGIN
      PATCH_PRINT ~Store "%SOURCE_FILE%" buys only~
    END
    PATCH_IF ((store_flags & 3) == 2) BEGIN
      PATCH_PRINT ~Store "%SOURCE_FILE%" sells only~
    END
    PATCH_IF ((store_flags & 3) == 3) BEGIN
      PATCH_PRINT ~Store "%SOURCE_FILE%" buys and sells~
    END
  END

prints all "real" stores available in the game which buy and/or sell items to the screen. Use this code on an unmodded game and you'll get only vanilla stores.
 
You could also check for certain item types allowed to buy/sell to narrow it down even further.

Here is a list I made of all SoA + ToB shops, excluding the bags (although is easy to locate bags, they are all named BAGxxx). I wrote it for a documentation project on a French website, hence the names are all French, including the comments associated to each shop. Hopefully an online translator should help you figure out the simple wording when the name can't be understood directly.

In order to locate the areas, you can refer to this interactive map of SoA in French.If you click on the locations, you'll get the area description, allowing you to find the shop in the area. This should help you trace them with their English names.

You should beware of "Non accessible" lines: they are used to mark STO files that are of no use in the game, either because there is no StartStore for them, or no character associated with the dialog containing the StartStore. So you should not take them into account for your mod.

 

A few common words :

marchand = merchant

Echoppe = shop

cher = expensive

receleur = fence

pas = not

parchemin = scroll

auberge = inn

Couronne de Cuivre = Copper Coronet

Franc-Marché = Trademeet

nuit = night

jour = day

vendeur à la sauvette = non established seller, in the street

marché noir = black market (stolen goods)

 

For the same documentation project, I wrote a tp2 to extract shop content and characteristics. Tell me if you're interested in such a thing.

[Eric P.]

Wow, that's huge! Merci mille fois Je pense que je peut l'utiliser pour mes metiers.

 

Yes, I'd like to see the .tp2 you mentioned, please.

I do have Weimer's Item Upgrades mod, so I'll check the .tp2 there as well, as part of my research.

 

The IESDP link you provided is broken, but I have iesdp on my HD, so I'll look up the STO entry locally.

 

Thanks! This is the kind of help I need!

NI is the only IE editing tool that works on a Mac, for better and for worse I'll search in there for the categories of gear I'm creating, and see what turns up.

 

I won't be adding the items to all the stores, but to those that appear most appropriate (definitely Adventurers Mart and one of the merchants in Trademeet, and very likely a few others).

No hits found in NI when I try to find references to Long Sword, Short Sword, or Bastard Sword in .STO files. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

[The Imp]

No hits found in NI when I try to find references to Long Sword, Short Sword, or Bastard Sword in .STO files. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

Unfortunately the search tool in NI doesn't compare the "items for sale" strings, just a name... yeah it can be the seller, but it also can be totally a random reference.

[Ulb]

Maybe by chance, you just picked two items which aren't for sale in a store.

 

If you look up 'bow03.itm' (which is named Long Bow) you should get 39 hits as a result.

Also, you'll get the file name and the store's name, which is pretty easy to identify most of the time.

(E.g.: BERNARD.STO / Copper Coronet)

[Eric P.]

I know for a fact that the swords in question are for sale in many stores *L* They're plain old swords.
