Plugin Pricer

I spent 1-2 hours making a plugin pricer for me to use on my commissions, as counting lines manually was getting quite fucked up.

I tend to price my commissions on a per-line price, so I really needed this.

When loading a plugin, it grabs its name from its plugin.ini file, then calculates the line count of all files inside the plugin.

Once it comes up with a line count for each file, and the whole plugin, the price can be calculated by adjusting the three available parameters:

* Per-Line Cost
* Difficulty Multiplier - Sometimes very hard plugins have a low line count, I fix the price to something I think is fair by adjusting this
* Discount Percentage - If the commissioner deserves a special treatment, why not.

For the lulz, I price-tested some of my old Plugins:
NoMoreULX -- Old Free Plugin
http://gyazo.com/48891ed03737248ae867914c4bffb7f0 -- Turns out the commands are worth half the total price of the plugin

KuroCrafting -- From Old Plugin Store
http://gyazo.com/e709fcb8a1eb93baa45234ecc978070c

Advanced ViewData -- From Old Plugin Store
http://gyazo.com/36b43392bd2c9ab7f835de01aaec4149

KuroHunger -- Unreleased, this plugin here even made your character's stomach rupture if you ate a ton.

KuroRad -- Unreleased, radiation system.

kuro crafting... And all these other really good plugins...
Please tell me I'll be able to DL/Buy them soon.

 

Price Clockwork and HL2 RP.

 

Mass-distributed products must cost a lot less than the value they'd normally cost if commissioned.
If I were to price hl2rp and clockwork with my favorite (and average) pricing paramaters, they would be worth over 1000EUR for sure.

 

It sounds like a rather useful tool.
Would it be possible to price-test the code of the tool itself?

 

Price them anyways.

 

Did he just say "Per-Line Pricing?" What are we going to do? Pay three bucks for a line?

 

Learn to read. It's $0,05 a line.

 

Yeah no. I'll just pay the 10 bucks it was originally

 

I'd pay $0.10 to be honest, but I'm overly generous. Either way, I like the concept, so i guess Kurochi is going to start making bank again...
Yay.

 

I don't think he's going to be unreasonable/stupid. It's obvious plugins that cost like $70 won't sell all that well, and it probably won't be very well received.

 

It would be interesting pricing most of the plugins in the plugins section.

 

Pricing based on line count is pretty dumb. The whole 'difficulty' thing doesn't remedy that.

 

I like to price just commissions on line count, as I'm actually giving my time to write the code down for you.

It's obvious that products I'm planning to sell to the people will not cost the original price that may be excessive, but a more affordable price that is good enough for people to buy the plugin.

E.G.: I used to sell KuroCrafting for 15$ instead of 32.50EUR (44.07$), and I used to sell Advanced ViewData for 5$ instead of 18.50EUR (25.10$).

I've priced HL2RP and Clockwork as requested.

 

Holy cow those are some nasty big linecounts for gLua. The price, though...

 

Eh, it was kinda obvious you know. At least, I expected that.
Anyway, I was thinking I'd tell the following people they could have this if they wanted:

[member=1220]RJ[/member]
[member=5482]duck[/member]
[member=5522]Atebite[/member] <-- Already Has

 

I'd love to try this out on my plugins.

Also guys, these are commissions, not mass resales. The person commissioning the product will be the only one with it (unless Kurochi made an agreement to sell it afterwards).

 

The big shit here is that KuroCrafting was a commission.
But they came to me offering 70GBP without hearing a price so I blindly locked down on that price xD

Wasn't told I couldn't sell it so I sold it :l

 

Here's what I gots for crafting and the hidebusiness plugin that comes with it:
