Apologies for the sudden hidden status.

I've noticed that the names of items already added in MCM are in English. Do these English-named items work well for Chinese players? When you're adding new items, should you input their English names or Chinese names?
Unfortunately no, you need to add their names in Chinese into the MCM if you're playing in Chinese localisation. The alternative is that i'd need to dissect the Chinese localisation file, then match all the English names to their Chinese counterpart, then add a separate option bar for non-English player, which would take a while, come back in, say 3 days, i have no idea how it would play out though, since i only know English
I encountered the same problem the reset list option just completely wipe the entire original list and it seem to lock permanently cause i just redownload the mod and the list still blank
I'm contacting Volitio about this, at the moment consider the option broken, all the data are still there but somehow it doesn't show ingame and in MCM profiles
Did you have "Include sold items" ticked while playing ? by default it's not and the mod only works for useless clutter, enabling that option extends its scope to other common items
nope just redownload and did what you wrote the dagger or Dagger and press enter in the new element box and it does nothing, also the reset list option just completely wipe the entire original list and it seem to lock permanently cause i just redownload the mod and the list still blank,oh well i'll just give up on this and use the auto loot seller mod seem like less of a headache, man why the hell they doesnt have the merchant do auto reset their inventory after each long rest into the base game is beyond retarded.
If I were to add "Goblin Scimitar" or "Goblin Bow" or whatever their staff's name is to the list of items this mod deletes from vendors, would that work, theoretically? Or are they a case of each one having their own game ID, which would prevent them from stacking, if they weren't already equipment that just doesn't stack anyway?
*edit* Is EnableSoldDeletion at the top of TCB.txt for deleting everything common you sell to a vendor? Or does it just do everything including uncommon and higher?

The mod checks for the exact match of the item name, not its ID, so 10 different objects having the same name would also get deleted if you type the name into the mod.
Is EnableSoldDeletion at the top of TCB.txt for deleting everything common you sell to a vendor? Or does it just do everything including uncommon and higher?
Yes, to have it delete everything above common, enable DisableCommonRestriction option
they replace whichever main file you have installed The option MCM is if you want to use multiple text fields over 1 excel-like list (main MCM version) for removing unwanted items The 'no common' is as described, it's hard-coded so no menu
Thanks for getting back to me! I can't for the life of me get this mod to work since Patch 7 hit. This mod is at the bottom of my load order currently and I've spent the last half hour trying everything I can think of to get it to work - as far as I can tell I have an almost identical set of mods from before the patch hit. I tried every possible version of this mod but none have worked. Even the no common one isn't working.
The game definitely registers the mod is in my load order, the MCM mod lets me add and remove items, but the list does not affect any vendor inventory. The error
"bg3se : : esv : : lua : : OsirisCallbackManager : : RunHandler () : Osiris event handler failed: [string "TraderClutterBegone/Server/TraderClutterBegon ... "]:2: attempt to concatenate a nil value (global 'ID') stack traceback: TraderClutterBegone/Server/TraderClutterBegone. lua:2: in function <TraderClutterBegone/Server/TraderClutterBegone. lua:1>"
I hate to be a bother, I normally troubleshoot my own s#*! since I know it's probably my own mods interacting with this mod, but do you have any idea what this error might be referring to?
This is odd, which file did you end up installing and at which point this error occured ? (i can see you downloaded them all so idk) Also Nexus tells me you didn't download the script extender requirement, evidently you did since you have the error log. NVM found the issue, should be fixed (no common version) now
Yeah I kinda stupidly thought if one version wasn't working maybe I could find a different one that is. (No luck...) MCM is the one I usually play with though.
I kinda bricked my whole save trying to fix it yesterday, I literally have no idea how but I guess my mods didn't like being moved around in the load order. I'm going to try to purge my mod list for a new save and try again. I also got a Trade Clutter/MCM dependency error, which was confusing as I 100% had MCM running.
I wonder if it might be some weird interaction with the remnants of different versions of this mod I installed, but IDK if I'll be able to fix it if that's case.
It used to clash with a mod that adds 5k gold to traders on interaction, so it's possible another clash appears with another mod, can you name the mods that use Script Extender so i can be sure that's not the case ?
The teleport and waypoint manager adds a ring to some vendors, but that's the only one I can think of that affects the trade screen.
Also here's another thing the console mentions about this mod, idk if it's an error or just a heads up:
[Mod Configuration Menu][WARN][C]: Mod 'TraderClutterBegone' 1.0.0.0 requires MCM but does not have MCM as a dependency. Please contact Eumeta to add MCM as a dependency in the meta.lsx file, or add `"Optional": true` to the blueprint. See https://wiki.bg3.community/en/Tutorials/General/Basic/adding-mod-dependencies for more information
Sometimes after you exit/reenter the dialogue with a trader you end up with 0 weight / 0 gold items that clutter their inventory, however you cannot remove and/or buy them. They sometimes eventually disappear on their own but I'm not exactly sure what causes it.
can you send me a screenshot of those objects, plus the script extender log ? Did any error occur during the time ? Is this a Patch 7 thing (You did not have did problem in previous patches ?) ?
https://imgur.com/a/x0yts7E All items after water are 0 weight / 0 gold, but otherwise no in-game errors / weird behaviour with the trader. Unfortunately I didn't have logging enabled, will send a log when I catch this next time. This is indeed a patch 7 thing, I don't recall ever having this issue before. Edit: it's kind of weird because sometimes these items disappear after you close and re-open the trade dialogue.
Hello again, since then I've started a new campaign again, and had no (major) issues. I think the problem I was having was either due to the fact that I've tested it on an old lategame save from act3 when all trade inventories were filled to the brim with all kinds of items, so maybe the script was having a hard time removing all of them at once OR it was due to the fact that I was doing it during patch 6/7 transition period and there was an unrelated issue with MCM / Script Extender. All good on a new playthrough so far though.
Minor issues I've mentioned just in case: 1) the stacks sometimes are not removed all at once, i.e. if I sell 50 small potions of healing at once, the next time I open the trade menu, the trader would have 45 potions of healing, repeat that again and he would have 35, so on and so forth. Overall not an issue since eventually all items end up being removed correctly. 2) when opening the menu to give Gale a magic artefact to consume in act 1, the game treats him as a trader, and so it removes any items added to the list from his inventory. 3) some items like Green Dye, one of the drink items (Stagswift Tonic if I remember correctly) are not removed even if they are added to the list (with the spelling definitely being correct). Overall I've seen at worst maybe up to 5 of such items.
1) I'll see if adding stack detection and deletion helps 2) And blacklist Gale 3) I'll check on the Dye, never tried selling them Thanks for the extended feedback
the MCM version do things internally through MCM, you should not see any TCB.txt from it, nor do you need one in the first place. As for the error, what happens when you reset the list via MCM ? (Add to deletion list option)
Okeee, i have a dumb question. We are told to use the Auto Seller List with caution. But i don't see much instruction on -how- to use it. I myself use the MCM version without this file so far.
So do i get it right, if i assume, that all the items in that list will be marked as junk and sold automatically? What if i don't want to sell certain items automatically? How do i tell it, not to sell soap or water for example?
But i don't see much instruction on -how- to use it. I myself use the MCM version without this file so far.
That is because I don't use Auto Seller List. Since the number of items it covers is a lot, my "caution" just meant "look at the stuff in the list before copy paste".
So do i get it right, if i assume, that all the items in that list will be marked as junk and sold automatically?
*Yes, exclusions are items with rarity greater than "common", the ones whose icons are outlined, unless you tick that option too
What if i don't want to sell certain items automatically? How do i tell it, not to sell soap or water for example?
It's easy for the text-based version since you can look everything up in a file, but with MCM I have to hide the default list (they share the same initial list). I can chuck the entire list as default into MCM menu, but that's a lot of scrolling. I'll upload another version, see if it's desirable
Yeah, a version that is easier to configure would be nice. I like to keep Water for applying wet condition on enemies and soap to get rid or dirt and blood. :D
well I did warn you about scrolling I'll ask if the MCM author can make the list autosort in alphabetical order on loading For now just use whatever version you like
It's in AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Script Extender\BG3MCM\Profiles\Default\[Mod name] ...i have found it so far. But i have 5 Mod name folders there. Does it go in Auto sell Loot ?
Then do i have to open the settings.json file and copy the list into that file?
you modify the json file of the mod you want to change, so should be TraderClutterBegone also i reuploaded the new version, default list has been alphabetically sorted for the json, add/remove what you want into/from the list named "Names", keep the same format, make sure the thing starts with [ and ends with ]
I noticed this mod wasn't working for certain items. Most that were listed in the TCB file were being removed but a few were still getting through. I figured out the issue. When you add items to the TCB file, if you enter a return (new line), make sure there is still a space either at the end of one line or the start of the next.
Question: Is there anyway to make the "delete sold items" work without MCM?
yes, the non-MCM version has 2 options in TCB.txt: 'enable sold deletion' and 'disable common restriction' If you don't see it, just change TCB.txt name into something else and have the game generate a new TCB.txt file, it should show 2 options at the first 2 lines, then you can paste your item list back in.
I want to change the first line to **EnableSoldDeletion=1** if I'm understanding correctly. The second line, if I changed it to **DisableCommonRestriction=1** that would delete all common items from vendors including common potions, etc. right?
yep for 1st line no for 2nd line, the option is there to prevent items of uncommon rarity or above from being deleted even if you have the item name in the deletion list. Setting it to 0 removes that. The deletion only tagets items in TCB.txt. So common potions are safe unless you specifically write their names down.
SOLVED Neither version have worked for me the past couple weeks. My vendors are packed full of hundreds of common items. I don't have any other trader altering mods, but i will note that while not selling to a trader/not giving them the 1k gold for reputation they will get new items if i purchase the items without reputation. Those non 1k'd/reputationed traders will even level up their new items to always +1 level above my 'wizard level' with scrolls and other valuable items. But once i 1k/rep them they no longer get new items; although they still regain gold after adventuring for a while. For example i never 1k/rep'd the first trader Arron, but here i am after completing every square inch of Act 1/Mountain Pass and [SEMI SPOILER] just about to head through the Underdark elevator, Arron has level 5 scrolls; he's filled with all the gear i sold him at the very start of the game before i knew bout the 1k/rep trick, and i've kept buying new items off him, but he won't clear the clutter, and the traders i did 1k/rep won't get new items (two in underdark, and zhentarim). Anyone else having this specific issue? I have some item adding mods, that could have possibly messed with this clutter mod? 5eSpells+Scrolls, Secret Scrolls, Magical Instruments, Armor Sets Unleashed, More Throwable Consumables. Do you think having extra item mods would conflict with this mod if they don't alter any item names? I switched back to the latest MCM and entered items manually, that worked for a specific item, then selecting 'Include Sold Items' cleared everything after reopening the trader. Not sure why it wasn't working normally, maybe write permissions at some point? Perhaps running the mod manager as Admin while installing your mod through it would have sorted something out? Ah well, MCM works and i am in bliss. Thank you so much for all you've done so far with this mod!

To confirm: +Only clutter items you typed into the MCM field gets removed, when you left the field as default, nothing was removed ? +When you said 'cleared everything', do you mean: the trader inventory is completely empty, or as in: the trader inventory is emptied of all clutters ?
Regarding the crossed out part of your comment, TCB does not add new items to traders, it should be either BG3 or mods.
Yes to your first question, nothing removed with either mod by default, only when i specified a random food item it worked right away. No to the second question, i meant it cleared all the junk. The crossed out section was just brainstorming why either mod versions wouldn't be working out of the box for me. But alas the check MCM version with the include player sold check box did the trick. Also wanted to note that the mod isn't detecting previously sold items. I have to manually enter each items name in MCM for it to clear that item from the vendor.
i can't actually make the mod or the game remember what you sold to each trader prior to the point of installing the mod. The work-around was that the mod scans the trader inventory 1 second after you press the trade dialogue, then it does so again 1 second after you close the trade menu. Any item the 2nd scan has but the 1st doesn gets deleted, but if the checkbox for disable common item restriction is off it'll only delete the common stuff you sold plus the clutter. I'm still figuring out how enabling that checkbox solved your issue, AFAIK it should be independent *shrugs*
Mod stopped working entirely, not sure what's goin on, going to one by one go through my 100 mods installed and see what's up, i've only got 4 or s that f*#@ with inventory and items, none ever f*#@ with characters, so i'm baffled.
I'm about to just start a new character and see if it works. Your mod worked once with MCM for me, I'm just thinking out loud, it's clearly a me issue, i'm just posting here in case people come across the same google'ing n what now. I don't know why your mod just stopped working, but i'm gonna get to the bottom of it soon, as soon as my party gets done 'banging out Old Time Battles'.
Don't go one by one, use the 50-50 rule. Remove half of the mods, if the problem is fixed, you know it was one of those, and if not it is one that remains. You've just cut your potential list of suspects in half. Keep doing that until you narrow it down to the culprit.

Thanks for the extended feedback
i just talked to Dammon at Last Light Inn. Sadly he still had clutter from regular items and after ending the dialogue i had this red warning message.
What is the problem here?
As for the error, what happens when you reset the list via MCM ? (Add to deletion list option)
If i click the Add to deletion list optionm i get a long list of things i can remove with a red cross each.
I did nothing but resetting and adding a few items to the List like Goblin Bows etc..^^ Seems it wotks again, thanks. :D
So do i get it right, if i assume, that all the items in that list will be marked as junk and sold automatically?
