Auction House Bot

The Auction House Bot (AHBot, src/game/AuctionHouse/AuctionHouseBotMgr.cpp) lets the server place items on the auction houses: keep markets stocked on low-population realms or seed specific items for testing.

Enabling

  1. Set AHBot.Enable = 1 in mangosd.conf.
  2. Configure which faction houses it sells on via AHBot.ah.fid.
  3. Control volume with AHBot.itemcount.

Item Supply

Two sources feed the bot:

Column Meaning
item item_template.entry to sell
stack Stack size to auction
bid Starting bid price (copper)
buyout Buyout price (copper)
  • Command: .ahbot update <item> … adds items at runtime; .ahbot reload re-reads table and config (Administrator level - see GM Commands).

How It Works

  • The manager creates normal auction rows owned by a hidden seller, so players interact with them exactly like player auctions.
  • Prices are fixed by configuration/table rather than market simulation in this implementation.
  • Expired AHBot auctions follow normal expiry rules (return/delete).
