Disenchant Predictor 1700.5

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005
  • Fixed some more errors in our built-in tooltip hooking utility.

AdSpace 1700.5

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005
  • Fixed some more errors in our built-in tooltip hooking utility.

Feed-O-Matic 1700.7

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005
  • Fixed some errors in our built-in tooltip hooking utility.

Feed-O-Matic 1700.6

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005
  • Forgot to include the GFWTooltip.lua file in today’s earlier 1700.5 release which made use of it. Fixed.

Feed-O-Matic 1700.5

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005
  • Fixed a few more nil table errors.
  • Introduced a new option tooltip, which adds a brief summary of your pet’s opinion to tooltips when looking at food items. Now it’s easy to go through your inventory and sell off any foods your pet has outgrown.
  • Added help text for the quality option introduced last release.
  • Won’t auto-feed if the pet is under a Damage over Time effect (e.g. poison), as DOTs can break the feed effect and make the pet unhappy. (This works by doing pattern-matching on debuff effect descriptions, so if you see auto-feed still happening under a DOT, please let me know which debuff you’re getting and its tooltip description.)

AdSpace 1700.4

Monday, September 26th, 2005
  • Fixed some errors in our new tooltip hooking functions that appeared when looting or selling items at the AH.
  • Refined a feature introduced in the last version — only tooltips for recipes seen in a vendor window will omit the (obvious) vendor avialability info; tooltips for the same item will still show such info if seen in a different place (e.g. clicked an item link in chat) while the vendor window is open.

Disenchant Predictor 1700.4

Monday, September 26th, 2005

Fixed some errors in our new tooltip hooking functions that appeared when looting or selling items at the AH.

Disenchant Predictor 1700.3

Saturday, September 24th, 2005
  • EnhTooltip was becoming a pain to keep compatibility with, so now it’s gone. (If you’ve still got EnhTooltip installed and aren’t running any other mods that use it, such as Auctioneer or Enchantrix, feel free to delete it.) We now have our own (much simpler) built-in tooltip hooking code. (Mostly imported from GDI’s Reagent Info, with a bit of guidance from EnhTooltip itself). This resolves the issues we were having if you upgraded to EnhTooltip 1.0.6 (or the Auctioneer 3.1 beta that includes it).
  • Fixed an issue that prevented predictions for items from showing.
  • Clearer info returned from status command.

AdSpace 1700.3

Saturday, September 24th, 2005
  • EnhTooltip was becoming a pain to keep compatibility with, so now it’s gone. (If you’ve still got EnhTooltip installed and aren’t running any other mods that use it, such as Auctioneer or Enchantrix, feel free to delete it.) We now have our own (much simpler) built-in tooltip hooking code. (Mostly imported from GDI’s Reagent Info, with a bit of guidance from EnhTooltip itself). This resolves the issues we were having if you upgraded to EnhTooltip 1.0.6 (or the Auctioneer 3.1 beta that includes it).
  • If you’re looking at a recipe on a vendor, we won’t clutter the tooltip with messages indicating that recipe is available at that vendor.
  • Fixed an issue that was preventing the /ads info command from working.
  • Added more vendors for a few common recipes.
  • If you’re installing over a previous release, the AdSpace.xml file is no longer needed.

Feed-O-Matic 1700.4

Saturday, September 24th, 2005
  • Added Night Elves’ Shadowmeld ability to the list of conditions we won’t auto-feed under. (Feeding breaks stealth for both you and your pet, which is relevant now that cats can learn Prowl.)
  • Disabled auto-feeding while in Battlegrounds, since the (generally frequent) spirit-rez there also restores your pet to full happiness (but does so after a brief delay, during which we were trying to feed the pet).
  • Improved control over the keepopen setting; you can now specify off or none to make Feed-O-Matic always choose foods based on quality, or max to make it always choose smaller stacks of food. Also clarified status output regarding the keepopen setting.
  • Added quality command to allow reversing the normal behavior of choosing hihger-quality foods when available. (Some hunters like to ensure they’re always feeding their pet the best foods and thus needing to feed less often; others prefer to work from the low end so they get the random “junk” food cleared out of their inventory.)
  • Prioritized mage-conjured foods so that they’ll be fed to the pet before other foods (only applicable to pets that eat Bread), since it’ll disappear from your inventory once you log out.
  • Fixed an error that sometimes appeared when auto-feeding the pet.
  • Fixed an error that sometimes appeared when opening tradeskill windows.
  • Fixed an error that appeared when opening the pet stables window.

ReagentCost 1700.3

Saturday, September 24th, 2005
  • Added an additional measure to prevent inappropriate chained trusting of reagent prices, as some Leatherworkers were still seeing recipes whose estimated cost was much higher than expected (due to being based on the cost of some huge amount lower-level leather instead of the correct higher-level leather).
  • Compatible with Auctioneer 3.1 beta, and fixed a nil error that appeared when trying to look up sell-to-vendor prices in Auctioneer 3.0.x. (Thanks, Norganna!)

Feed-O-Matic 1700.3

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005
  • Previously, the add, remove, and feed commands only allowed item links (but this wasn’t clearly documented, or intended). Now you can also type the name of an item. (If using item links, though, you can shift-click multiple foods to add, remove, or feed several at once.)
  • WoW 1.7 changed the way pets gain happiness when fed, invalidating the way Feed-O-Matic tries to figure out which foods your pet likes more. Rewrote the way we look for and rank food to account for this, fixing several cases of Feed-O-Matic mistakenly claiming it couldn’t find any food (including some unrelated to pet happiness).
  • Added an option to control whether to fall back to foods we’d normally rather avoid if no other foods are available. This is on by default so that your pet doesn’t run off on you while you’re not paying attention.
  • Avoiding various types of “useful” food (the saveforcook, savebonus, and savequest options) is now turned on by default. (The default setting for saveforcook is now “green”).
  • Fixed some cases of automatic feeding tossing the pet several foods at once. (Not that most pets would mind, but their owners might.)
  • Added several more foods to the default list (and corrected some foods that were listed under the wrong diets).
  • Feed-O-Matic can now detect when the pet is manually fed and use the resulting data in its food quality table.
  • Supports wowguru.com’s UI updater utility (and potentially others).

Hunter’s Helper 1700.3

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Fixed an error in the listing for which pets can learn Dash.

Hunter’s Helper 1700.2

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005
  • Added several new entries to our tables, covering both new 1.7 abilites and older ones too. (Many thanks to the contributors at the Good Intentions hunter info site!) Also removed some incorrect entries and verified all cross-references.
  • Improved detection of new spells being learned (tooltip abilities should now change from green to gray at the correct time without needing to open the Beast Training window).
  • Additional flexibility in /hh find syntax: using findall instead of find will show all known beasts instead of stopping after four zones; omitting a rank will still provide useful information for some spells.
  • Fixed some table errors regarding new pet abilities from WoW patch 1.7.
  • Fixed a syntax error that popped up when taming a beast that had abilities but wasn’t listed in our tables.

ShoppingList 1700.2

Monday, September 19th, 2005

Added a clear command to allow emptying the entire list.
