AdSpace 10900.2

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Now lists (all?) ten new vendor-supplied tradeskill recipes from WoW patch 1.9 (enchanter oils, two new cloak enchants, and [Pattern: Soul Pouch]), with verified prices and vendor listings for each.

Feed-O-Matic 10900.2

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

Fixed a 1.9 compatibility issue. (Error message about GetBattlefieldStatus()).

AdSpace 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9; includes vendor info for several of the new recipes introduced in this patch. (More complete vendor info for new items will be available in an update shortly following the release of the patch.)
  • Error messages reporting discrepancies in the internal database will appear no more often than once per minute. (Previously, if such errors came up in tooltip handling, they could end up being repeatedly spammed to the chat window.)
  • Includes refinements to code shared with other GFW mods.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup and error messages and if you type /ads help or /ads version. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

AutoCraft 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9; we’re now a LoadOnDemand addon and automatically load whenever Blizzard’s TradeSkill UI module is loaded. (There should be no visible difference from this change… we just don’t use up RAM when not needed.)
  • Includes refinements to code shared with other GFW mods.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup/load messages. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

Disenchant Predictor 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9 and its new disenchant reagent ([Nexus Crystal], which can disenchant from items of Epic quality).
  • Now correctly recognizes more types of items that can’t be disenchanted: items of Legendary or better quality and items with a duration.
  • Fixed an error that could appear when automatic disenchant looting was turned on (which tended to appear if the client was lagged while looting).
  • Fixed some cases where we could end up trying to make the WoW client display an illegal link (which disconnects you from the server).
  • Includes refinements to code shared with other GFW mods.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup and error messages and if you type /dp help or /dp version. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

Enchant Seller 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9.
  • Includes refinements to code shared with other GFW mods.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup and error messages and if you type /es help or /es version. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

Feed-O-Matic 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9.
  • Now localizable, with partial French and German translations now included. Many thanks to Graçi of Hyjal (EU), Jan-Paul, and other contributors to the comments thread of fizzwidget.com for helping get this up and running!
  • Mostly locale-independent; now uses item link IDs to identify food instead of names. Unfortunately, Feed-O-Matic still requires one bit of locale-dependent information to work in ach language: the names of the six animal diets. Without translations for these, Feed-O-Matic can’t look up foods in its list, which makes it pretty well broken. If you’re not using WoW in English, French, or German, here’s how you can help make it work for your language:
    • Tame a few pets of different creature families. (Minimally, a Bear or Boar will do — they eat anything — but taming pets of the other fifteen families will help me get more family names into the database.)
    • Use Feed-O-Matic to feed each one at least once. (Or at least type /fom once after taming each pet.)
    • Log out of WoW, and open your World of Warcraft -> WTF -> SavedVariables -> GFW_FeedOMatic.lua file in a text editor.
    • Copy the section that looks like FOM_LocaleInfo = { ... } and email it to gazmik@fizzwidget.com.
  • The slash commands for adding, removing, and feeding specific foods now require an item link or the name of an item that exists in your inventory — passing in just any old name won’t work because we now index foods based on item ID.
  • Includes refinements to code shared with other GFW mods.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup and error messages and if you type /fom help or /fom version. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

Gemologist 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup messages and if you type /gems help or /gems version. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

Guildentipper 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup messages. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

Hunter’s Helper 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9: Includes information on where to find the three new pet skills (Charge for boars, Shell Shield for turtles, and Thunderstomp for gorillas).
  • Includes several fixes and additions to the database for existing skills and mobs, too.
  • Updated French and German partial localizations.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup messages and if you type /hh help or /hh version. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

ReagentCost 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9.
  • Fixed several general issues that resulted in problems dealing with alchemists’ elemental transmutes:
    • We won’t get a stack overflow error trying to calculate reagent prices if a loop exists in the recipe chain (e.g. if you know both [Recipe: Transmute Life to Earth] and [Recipe: Transmute Earth to Life]).
    • Transmutes and other recipes which fit a similar pattern (one reagent which is also produced by the skill is used to create another reagent which is also used by the skill) only report based on the price of the immediate reagent (even if it can be produced by other such recipes)… it’s more important to know that you might profit from transmuting [Essence of Earth] to [Essence of Water] than that you might also profit from trasmuting Life to Earth to Water.
    • If you know more than one recipe that produces the same item, all of them will be listed in the output from /rc report and /rc [item link]. For internal calculations and display in the tradeskill window, the recipe with the lowest total materials cost is used.
    • These changes required a reformatting of the database we store your tradeskill recipes in; if you’ve been using previous versions, you’ll need to log in to each of your characters and view their tradeskill windows before/rc report and /rc [item link] will again be able to report on what they know.
  • Fixed some cases where we wouldn’t recognize an item link.
  • Fixed an issue where /rc report and /rc [item link] would incorrectly report items that sell at a loss.
  • Added /rc autoload on|off command for those using ReagentCost with Auctioneer; when enabled, ReagentCost will automatically load Auctioneer when you show a tradeskill window (so that it use auction data to show reagent costs). When disabled — now the default — the tradeskill windows won’t show reagent costs unless Auctioneer is already loaded. (ReagentCost will still automatically load Auctioneer if you expressly ask for a price via /rc report or /rc [item link].)
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup messages and if you type /rc help or /rc version. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!

ShoppingList 10900.1

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006
  • Updated for WoW patch 1.9.
  • Now correctly lists when items are above the median/average buyout in reports.
  • Knows its own version number — it’s present in startup messages and if you type /sl help or /sl version. Please include this version number when sending bug reports or help requests!
