I know there is an explanation stickied there but its not working for me. If someone with patience has time to explain what I am doing wrong, I would be forever grateful!

Just go to any trade thread with images and click "Quote" on the first post and it will show all the img and/or item code they used to make the images (just don't click submit lol). It's "cool" to use the item codes, but IMO it's a lot simpler and basically indistinguishably equivalent to just go to the wiki and copy image url of the icon and use that in an img tag. Make sure you're copying the icon url and not the page url or w/e. Edit: Apparently bandwidth from 4kb item icons is an issue for the wiki, so stick to item tags

But linking from the wiki puts a lot of traffic onto the wiki which is traffic the salem server can handle just much better, so please don't follow this advice.
Some items are a bit fiddly to find out, but it's really simple, just put

Code: Select all

[item]branch[/item]

to get

.
You can always ask if someone knows the item name to things you can't figure it out for.

What's indistinguishably equivalent because it's the exact same is linking

Code: Select all

 [img]http://game.salemthegame.com/mt/r/gfx/invobjs/branch[/img]

You can use that URL to check/guess item names of stuff you want displayed in your thread.

Indeed. Please don't link to the wiki.

Very well, adjusted my advice. Sure would be cool if there was a tool to assist in finding item codes, perhaps I'll look into putting something together if I have time.

If you do, you can click Edit on Heffernan's trade thread and find a bunch of them.

I also have an (old) list of all the files in my .salem cache. Some newer things will not be in there but in general it's pretty complete. You can save it and then ctrl+f in it.

Kandarim's source + Heff's trade thread + my own cached files combined into a list of alphabetical order with no duplicates and item before code:

nice.
God I hope you wrote a script to do that
