LuaSerializer is now on GitHub https://github.com/alt22247/LuaSerializer

Global trade search tool needs YOUR help.

By running our addon and client. Your guild listings as well as any item you seen by using guild store search function will be automatically upload to the site for other people to search and browse. The collected data will also be used to generate price info for everyone~

If you want to contribute more to the community or if you wish to help boosting up your guild's sale by uploading an entire guild's listings, you are more than welcome to do so!

Here are some screen shoots of the site, addon and client












Install Instruction:

1. Download and unzip the files under ESO addon folder (default is Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns) Or you can install it with Minion
2. When you are playing ESO, run the client executable (client.exe) under Client folder
3. Enjoy the game


In game API
1. To get TTC's price info simply do TamrielTradeCentrePrice:GetPriceInfo(itemLink)
This will return a TamrielTradeCentre_PriceInfo Object
Code:
{
       Avg,
       Max,
       Min,
       EntryCount, --# of listings
       AmountCount, --total # of items
       SuggestedPrice --suggested price low. Suggested high = SuggestedPrice * 1.25
}
2. To get TTC's internal item information (various internal Ids)
TamrielTradeCentre_ItemInfo:New(itemLink)

Q:How does this addon work?
The addon collects all the item listings that you seen in the guild store and uploads them to the site. The site then uses all the data collected by all players to generate price info for everyone.
You can also use the website to search for the location of an item using way better filter than the default Guild store GUI. But it is not guarantee the item is still there since low price items tends to get sold fast. You will have to use your own judgment based on the last seen column to predict whether its still available.

Q:How is the suggested price calculated?
1. Remove outliers
2. AVG(price of the lowest 30% items) * 0.8

Q:Whats the difference between average/suggested price vs sales average?
Average/suggested price are calculated using listing data while sales average is calculated using actual sales data. Both listing and sales data are collected from all TTC users across all guilds.

Q: How fresh is the pricing data?
Very fresh! Naw im kidding, its based on Data from yesterday

Q: How big is TTC
It uses around 6mb of RAM for pricing info and around 20mb at most for entries you have seen.



Detailed Instruction
FAQ
4.18 Release Log:
1. Added back the price to chat language options
2. Added a steam button in Client's start options

1. Fixed an issue causing guild trader location to be null
2. Added additional check to detect config file corruption and attempt to reset it automatically

Client 3.26 Release Notes:

1. Reworked login system to use user's default browser (external) instead of an outdated Internet Explorer(embedded) to comply with the latest security standard (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-native-apps-03)
2. Added logout button

P.S. please make sure your firewall is not blocking loopback IP (localhost) and TTC has sufficient right to bind to it.

2. No longer adds divider if no price info is available

Client 3.24 Release Notes:

3. Added Elsweyr's trader locations
4. Fixed an issue causing last updated string to show up in native client's locale instead of target locale when using price to chat with a different locale than the native one.


Client 3.23 Release Notes:
1. Fixed two compatibility issues with Awesome Guild Store (more to come later)
a) Price not showing in store page when AGS is enabled
b) UI error when trying to purchage item when AGS is enabled
2. Updated the logic for personal listings to be consistant with community scanned ones. Last seen for personal listings will only get updated when user opens the guild store and click on the listings tab or when user lists new item/remove existing item from the store. (Used to be based on user's last login. However ZOS's API seems to skip some entries and thus causing the cached version to be unreliable. Causes more confusion than good to use the login time due to this)
3. Fixed an issue causing price to chat to show up multiple times when the language of the current client's locale is selected
4. Uses sub menu for price to chat when there is more than one language selected
5. Removed the one time guild store scan due to point 2

P.S. due to some backend structure change the saved settings will be reset. Your price data will stay safely since its downloaded from the server.


Client 3.22 Release Notes:
1. Wrathstone API update
2. Store full scan code completely revamped. New scan logic will retry on failure (too many searches). In case of the game force close the store UI TTC will attempt to resume the scan the next time store is opened.
3. Added the ability to do price to chat in different languages regardless of client's locale

Known issue: The new ESO Guild Store UI has a bug which it will not update the UI listings when the search is initiated with API calls. Thus you are going to see the search result panel stay the same thru out the whole scan process.

P.S. New items will be added in batch. Thanks for your patience.

2. Added traders in Murkmire for none English clients

5. other small fixes

Client 3.10 Release Notes:
1. Uses file lock instead of Mutex since Avast hates Mutex after fall creator's update. TTC should be able to live happily with Avast again (Tested on Win 10 fall creator and Win 7 latest with Avast Free)

I get an error messsage:

user:/AddOns/TamrielTradeCentre/TamrielTradeCentre.lua:488: operator - is not supported for number - nil
stack traceback:
user:/AddOns/TamrielTradeCentre/TamrielTradeCentre.lua:488: in function 'TamrielTradeCentre:CleanUpAutoRecordEntries'
user:/AddOns/TamrielTradeCentre/TamrielTradeCentre.lua:639: in function 'TamrielTradeCentre:Init'
user:/AddOns/TamrielTradeCentre/TamrielTradeCentre.lua:677: in function 'OnAddOnLoaded'

I turned off all the other addons, so there is only TCC and its libraries active.
Any clues?

I think there is some misunderstanding here about how TTC works.
I've been using TTC since the beginning and own a guild trader myself. The entries on the TTC website are created by users of TTC. If an item is displayed in the search list under "last seen" it does not mean that it must still be available at the guild trader. If the last visitor has bought it, it temporarily stays on the website until it is no longer displayed. This means that every visitor to a guild trader with installed TTC creates the most up-to-date entries on the website.
@cyxui please correct me if i write something wrong.

Have to tried to load any listings? for me it shows the ads but the listings dont load. the table were they used to be is just blank.... im using default firefox in a private window

if people are scraping your site, increasing server costs and having an unfair advantage to get cheap items... delay the listings for guest users because every cheap item ive seen on there is ALWAYS gone, so i dont use the site
Try hard reload (shift F5). Your browser is probably not doing a good job w/ clearing cache.

And i think that this "rule" of ESOUI is the thing that you should reactivate again and dont set the users under pressure to pay.

A question beside :
How much do you pay for the server and how many people have payed without beeing forced to pay ?

Perhaps you have a much to expensive and oversized server ?
Usually Ads company pays more than the $2 sub so if i have a choice i will chose the former. The service has to generate some revenue somehow and the amount of adblock users aren't helping it...

Something like that is misinterpreted here I think. The addon and website author has now set up his ad-supported website, which is his right, so that addblockers have to be deactivated if you want to use the functions. A discussion about payment is out of place here. And the author and ESOUI.com don't need to justify themselves about it either.

I have now tested the function of https://eu.tamrieltradecentre.com/pc/Trade with Firefox, Edge, Chrome on other PCs with Windows 11 and 10 and they work without any problems without an addblocker.

TTC website works correctly for me.

I don't quite understand the discussion here. Under Windows 10, the website runs correctly with Firefox and Edge and on 2 PCs. Of course, I have set the extensions Addblock and Ghostery accordingly and accept the advertising. I can live with that. Thank you @cyxui for your efforts.

(It is possible that website scanners that you have set up yourself for quick information about items that are in demand and cheap sales are no longer working. In any case, I have noticed that many of my sales no longer take place immediately within a maximum of 1 minute. Which I like. )

Tried 3 different browsers with no extensions at all. Tried FireFox with different privacy modes. Still NOT works for me

ping pagead2.googlesyndication.com was succesful

c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts contains nothing regarding google ads

Still got this annoing message and site does not work. I dont mind ads, but this situation makes me mad and frustrated. Farewell TTC

ok, np

just my 2 cents regarding the ads on your site:

Forcing ads on people isnt a good look and rarely gets people to donate, just annoys them.

Best bet is to show a message were the ads are explaining how the site costs money to run (server costs ect) and to donate a coffee or something to keep it running
I have shown multiple different messages for over 7 years already and the number of adblock users never went down. Frankly the number just kept going up. The amount of donations received for the past 7 years are only enough to pay for less than 2 years of the server's cost.

Without ad revenue I would have paid 5 digits out of pocket to keep the server alive in additional to all the time i have spent to maintain it.

There are dozens of other addons besides AdBlock which might block ads. Privacy control, bandwidth saver, faster load, JS killer, VPN, ect. You might want to try disabling all of them first.

I tested latest FF and it works for me. If you have specific settings that you set let me know and i can test it on my end.
It's none of this, I have no other addons running. Your comment made me curious, though, and I figured out the issue.

In the browser privacy tab on firefox there are three options "Standard" "Strict" and custom. I had it on strict where the site does not work, it works on standard.
The only difference between the two is "Cross-site cookies" and "Tracking content".
I tried custom and it seems the issue is the "tracking content" setting.
I'm not clear on what exactly that setting is blocking that that isn't being blocked by the rest of the settings, but there we are. I will say I do see ads on other sites with the strict setting if adblock is off, so I'm not sure if the issue is something specific about TTC's ads or if the ads would still work with the strict setting but the code that prompts the adblock notice is overzealous.

Lots of websites try to bypass adblock by using native ads and proxy ads. I dont have time or the resource for that kind of cat and mouse game unfortunately.

And yes you are right Strict mode is the cause. Quote from FF's website: "Get tough with Strict mode
If seeing too many ads ruins your day, then the Strict mode is a better fit. This mode will block known third-party trackers and cookies in all Firefox windows."

And then I went a bit deeper to see 'how' they are achieving it. Basically if the URL has ever sent out a 3rd party cookie before then it will get black listed from Mozilla side. And as you can guess Google ads is in the list. Even if you turned on cookieless mode from Google side FF will still refuse to load it because the black list check happens before the actual load happens.
