There is some slight variation--IIRC baseprice + 0.4* rand(0 to 1). Where baseprice is 0.8 for normal, 0.3 for export, and 1.3 for import.
Eh, I mean store price = (good price) * (baseprice + 0.4 * frnd() )

what? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Wat i did was when i went to all the towns i recorded their prices (sell and buy)

and then i compared them by goods.

and if the sell price was higher then the buy price then i considered it a profit trade route and recorded it down.

for example

Ebony – Buy: Muelle Sell: Falaise (+20)

meaning that the diffrence between the Buy price at Muelle and the Sell price at Falaise is 20. (Meaning that for every 1 unit you make 20 gold). For every 100 units u make 2000 gold.
 
Yeah. What I'm saying is, every time you start a new game (or a store is otherwise filled or refilled with goods), the price of each good at the store will have some slight variation, i.e. +/-20% or so.
So the prices you have recorded will only hold until the store is refilled or you start a new game--the new price will be in the ballpark of the old price, but NOT identical.
 
If you talk to normal citizens in the Build game and ask for rumors, they'll tell you what trade routes are profitable.

but only if the goods are from their island. FDF citisens dont tell you about oxbay trade routes and the like.
 
You can find all rumours in the PROGRAM\Rumour_Data.c file, trading or otherwise.
 
Can you assign rumours to people? I thought they were random each time you'd ask for them.
 
GetRumor (or whatever the func is) takes a nation and an island as arguments. So you could, if you wanted, make an Oxbay fellow who tells French FDF rumors..

That's one system I've been meaning to improve, and integrate with the ask-about-person functionality, for quite some time--I have some notes on how, and there were some threads on it back in December (October? Somewhere August-Dec, IIRC).

EDIT: Uh, also. If there are any quest rumors not given yet, that will override normal rumor selection.
 
Actually, you might be able to. What you need is something like this

<a href="http://mods.knightsoftheoldrepublic.com/forum.php" target="_blank">http://mods.knightsoftheoldrepublic.com/forum.php</a>

One of those shows a way to get a saved file on a computer (which is modded) onto XBox
 
I think that this is the site

<a href="http://mods.knightsoftheoldrepublic.com/forum_viewtopic.php?4.147" target="_blank">http://mods.knightsoftheoldrepublic.com/fo...topic.php?4.147</a>

Or at least thats the best site that I can find. Sorry that it doesnt have much about anything other than KotOR.
