Release notes for AdSpace

Saves you money by not buying marked-up vendor recipes at AH… by providing vendor “advertisements” in tooltips for tradeskill recipes.

AdSpace 1700.1

Tuesday, September 13th, 2005
  • Updated TOC for WoW patch 1.7.
  • Silas Darkmoon offered me a wagonload of tickets if I’d advertise his faire to users who come across some of the junk his carnies want. Dunno what I’ll do with all these…
  • Patched included EnhTooltip to fix a bug where it was preventing access to the popup menu that appears when you right-click someone’s name in chat.
  • Cleaned up code shared with other Fizzwidget mods; should no longer produce cryptic error messages if you don’t have the latest versions of everything (starting with version 1700.1 of all mods).

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.

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).

AdSpace 1600.3

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

AdSpace 1600.2

Saturday, July 16th, 2005
  • Replaced LootLink dependency with EnhTooltip (version 1.0.4), which does everything one needs for modifying item tooltips in one convenient bundle. It’s now included in the download, too. Many thanks to the Auctioneer/Enchantrix people!
  • Added several new recipes from the 1.6 patch. (They’re all BoP from faction vendors, so you’ll never have to worry about seeing them on AH… but it’s still nice to know where they come from if you see them linked in chat or something.)
  • If only one vendor sells a given item, the tooltip display will be more compact.
  • Nina Lightbrew “doesn’t sell to those filthy Horde”. Hmph, well… that’s the last time I try to send some extra business her way!
