AdSpace 1600.5

Monday, August 29th, 2005
  • Indents multiple vendors listed in the tooltip.
  • Fixed some lookup-table errors introduced in 1600.4, and added item IDs to error messages to help track down any others.
  • Doesn’t leave an error message for items available from vendors only to the other faction (Horde/Alliance).
  • Fixed a typo or two in item descriptions.

ReagentCost 1600.4

Saturday, August 27th, 2005
  • Now supports AuctionMatrix or KC Items (with its auction module) as alternatives to Auctioneer.
  • We now keep our own (more accurate) list of primarily-vendor-bought reagents (flux, thread, vials, etc.) and their baseline prices; ReagentData is thus no longer a required dependency. (If you have it anyway, you’ll get more descriptive messages if /rc report encounters an error.)
  • Code cleanup and standardization among Fizzwidget mods.
  • Supports wowguru.com‘s UI updater utility (and potentially others).

AdSpace 1600.4

Saturday, August 27th, 2005
  • Rewrote tables and lookups to use item IDs instead of item names; now should be functionally locale-independent and localizable. (That is, it should work in other WoW languages, but will return info only in English for now.) Send me localizations and I’ll include them in future releases!
  • Added a table of vendor prices, so you can make a better guess as to whether a resold vendor recipe is worth the markup (or being sold at a better price).
  • Some recipes are highlighted in a different color and/or have an extra note, indicating ones which might be available only from vendors (that is, they’re Bind on Pickup), available only if you meet certain criteria (such as raising your reputation or completing a quest), or difficult to obtain from a vendor (say, one located deep within a dungeon).
  • A couple of elven scholars requested my assistance in tracking down some lost books of theirs, and who am I to turn down a paying advertiser? Should you find any one of these Librams, AdSpace will tell you who to bring it to and what they might offer you in return. (Though I’ve seen what they’re offering… If I were one of them, I’d charge more than just a book for those kind of services!)
  • Changed text color for info added to tooltips — should now be more distinct.
  • Fixed an issue where recipes sold by exactly two vendors sometimes wouldn’t show info in the tooltip.
  • Patched included EnhTooltip with a fix (from Kaelten of Kael Cycle mods) for a bug involving the AH ‘item to sell’ slot.
  • The /ads vendor command has been renamed to /ads info.
  • Code cleanup and standardization among Fizzwidget mods.
  • Supports wowguru.com‘s UI updater utility (and potentially others).

Hunter’s Helper 1600.5

Saturday, August 27th, 2005
  • Fixed a couple discrepancies in beast/ability tables; Black Mastiff is actually Black Ravager Mastiff, and Worgs are more predominant in Silverpine Forest than in Tirisfal Glades.
  • Fixed an error that kept us from figuring out when you learn a new pet ability.
  • Added compatiblity preparing for new pet abilities in 1.7.
  • Added preliminary list of beasts to tame for new 1.7 abilities (thanks to Aderyn of Gorefiend and the contributors to his thread on the WoW boards). To minimize possible confusion, these won’t show up in 1.6, only on the Test Realms and once patch 1.7 is released.
  • Code cleanup and standardization among Fizzwidget mods.
  • Supports wowguru.com‘s UI updater utility (and potentially others).

ShoppingList 1600.2

Saturday, August 27th, 2005
  • Added “autoreport” feature – automatically shows a report as soon as your AH scan finishes. (Also fixed Auctioneer problems caused by partially-implemented version of this feature in the last release.)
  • Code cleanup and standardization among Fizzwidget mods.
  • Supports wowguru.com‘s UI updater utility (and potentially others).

Disenchant Predictor 1600.3

Saturday, August 27th, 2005
  • Patched included EnhTooltip with a fix (from Kaelten of Kael Cycle mods) for a bug involving the AH ‘item to sell’ slot.
  • Code cleanup and standardization among Fizzwidget mods.
  • Supports wowguru.com‘s UI updater utility (and potentially others).

Enchant Seller 1600.5

Saturday, August 27th, 2005
  • Shows an error in the chat window if it can’t find anything to advertise with /es whisper <player> [<slot>].
  • Code cleanup and standardization among Fizzwidget mods.
  • Supports wowguru.com‘s UI updater utility (and potentially others).

Guildentipper 1600.4

ReagentCost 1600.3

Sunday, August 7th, 2005

Good news / Bad news: The WoW 1.6.1 patch this past week made it a lot easier to track down the bugs a few users had been seeing. Of course, this also meant Reagent Cost has been buggier for everybody. Sorry about the delay, but I’m pretty sure it won’t blow up in your face anymore… at least, not nearly as often.

  • Much stricter error handling; should no longer hang/freeze/crash WoW when opening tradeskill windows or requesting reports. Should also provide more helpful error messages when a report can’t be produced.
  • May take an extra second or two to gather data when opening a tradeskill window for the first time. (One of the crash/hang issues involved scanning data too fast.) You probably won’t notice this if you’re using the tradeskill window normally, but if you request a report and it says you need to open a window that’s already open, just wait a couple of seconds before requesting it again.
  • Added an extra command, /rc reagents [<skillname>], which outputs a list of all the items you can make (or all the items for skillname) and the reagents needed for each. (Added as a debugging utility, but may become more useful in a future release.)

ShoppingList 1600.1

Sunday, August 7th, 2005

Initial release. (See ShoppingList main page for details.)

Guildentipper 1600.3

Sunday, August 7th, 2005
  • Some recent WoW patch left us with a tendency to not resize the tooltip appropriately when adding text. Fixed.

Hunter’s Helper 1600.4

Saturday, August 6th, 2005
  • Fixed an error (introduced in 1600.3) when attempting to notify hunters that we need to scan their Beast Training window.

Hunter’s Helper 1600.3

Friday, August 5th, 2005
  • Added an option onlyhunter, allowing you to have beast abilities showing in tooltips while you’re playing a hunter but not when you’re playing other characters.
  • Fixed an issue with /hh find returning an error if you don’t have a pet currently with you.
  • Now shows useful info for the Growl ability in /hh find.

AdSpace 1600.3

Friday, August 5th, 2005
  • Added or corrected info on several recipes.
