MrTrader

Tradeskill Window

With v0.5, MrTrader has taken a big step towards the big 1.0. The Tradeskill Window replacement for the Blizzard UI has arrived. Try it out, enjoy, report bugs you may find. It may not be compatible with your favorite addons (Tradeskill Profit Maximizer doesn't work, Ackis Recipe List has no button yet) right now, however.

Core Features:

  • Tradeskill Window Replacement
    • Difficulty Filtering
    • Custom Collections
    • Context Menu Support
    • Auction House-style Filter Browsing
    • On Demand Loading
  • Auto-Responses in chat to link requests using '!full' or '!link'.
    • Supports Guild, Raid, and Whispers.
    • Fully configurable, with privacy-friendly defaults.
  • Server-Wide Tradeskill Access (requires a LibDataBroker display)
    • One-menu access to your tradeskills.
    • Link any tradeskill you know, or your alts know.
    • Browse any tradeskill you know, or your alts know.
    • Quick updating in the background on login, not required to open a tradeskill window to record it.

Planned Improvements:

  • Usability improvements for advanced Tradeskill features.
  • Support for Shopping Lists, Queues, or Profit Estimation.

LibDataBroker displays like Fortress or TitanPanel are required for the Tradeskill Access menu feature. I personally like TitanPanel, but any of them will work.

    @serious2: One of the core goals of the tradeskill window was to not try to override too much of what the original UI did (yet), or follow the same road as Skillet/ATSW and try to filter it all myself in the scripts. Blizz provides a nice fast API for searching and filtering, so why not use it? :)

    @mrruben5: I've considered it. I'm not entirely sure how I'd want to go about doing it. I might offer it up as a separate LDB data provider, as the current menu is pretty busy as is. I've usually just gotten by using a different addon for the cooldowns.

    I have to agree with serious2. I love the favorites feature. I'm also using Ara_broker_tradeskills. You can see tradeskill cooldowns in it. It's your take on it if you want to add a feature for this, but I'm just as happy with two seperate AddOns.

    For now I use this addon to be able to see and link what my alts can make and enjoy using MrTrader as one of the two tradeskill addons that have the favourites feature (ATSW is the other one). I feel MrTrader has a lot in store for us :) It is also good that unlike ATSW MrTrader has retained the ability to search for what crafted things can provide instead of crafting spell names only. I can search for "spell power" on my JC and I will find spell power gems. In ATSW I will find nothing.

    Beats me why it says Ace2 and Ace3.

    I don't have any default relationships setup, and I don't see anything in my pkgmeta that could be linking me to Ace2.

    EDIT: Someone else found that I still had AceLibrary being pulled in from Ace2, hidden amongst the Ace3 stuff. This was originally pulled in for DewDrop, but I didn't pull it when I pulled DewDrop from use. Whoops.

    Why are you using both Ace2 and Ace3? CallbackHandler-1.0 and LibStub are Ace3 exclusive, and you don't list any libs that require Ace2... I don't get it.

    Of course. While I like ATSW in a few ways, the rough edges always drive me away whenever I try it, which is partially what drove me to start writing MrTrader in the first place.

    But I totally understand that some might not want the tradeskill UI foisted on them in order to get the rest of the functionality, so it will be something you can turn on and off. As the final release is a ways off, I've been focusing on getting the thing up and running over the final little pieces of configuration work. And I still have a fair amount of feature work left to go on the new UI before I consider it even remotely 'done'.

    I'd probably not recommend the current crop of pre-release builds if you don't want to play with the new UI. Especially since there are no fixes to the other parts, you don't gain anything.

    Is it possible to add an option for disabling the Mr. Trader tradskill window so that we can choose to use it or not?

    I'm asking because I'm using the addon Advanced Trade Skill Window from Slartibartfast since the very first version and I'm really happy with it. I'm also really happy to have such an nice and usefull addon like Mr.Trader. but, since the new version I have from both addons the tradeskill windows. ^^

    Thats why I'm requesting an option to have the possibility to disable the tradeskill window from Mr.Trader.

    I also wrote a ticket, just in case.

    Been awhile since MrTrader got a feature update, but it doesn't mean the project has been abandoned yet. I've been churning on a few concepts for how to to revamp the tradeskill window UI and make it my own. I think I'm starting to settle down on a design I like that will eventually make it into 0.5.

    It is still very rough and in the alpha/beta stage, but I believe it can serve as the core for a solid offering going forward.

    The idea here is that sorting through items has become complex enough that an Auction House-style UI is probably better suited, where your filters live on the left side and are easier to explore. Once I get the core functionality worked out, I expect this list to get more interesting as it grows to use a group & subgroup style like the AH. Things like sorting by category, item slot, difficulty (great for those leveling skills still), and adding custom categories are on the to-do list.

    The other advantage of this design is that without a queue, it takes up less space than double-wide, but still remains easier to navigate than the default UI. Integrating a queue would come in a later release, and likely live in a tab or secondary window.

    I'd also like to say thanks to those providing localizations. And sorry for nuking the tradeskill names out of the localization table after you guys translated them. I had switched to letting WoW localize those for me and forgot to remove them.

    v0.4 should include real German and Russian support thanks to you guys.

    TAP3AH, I decided to push out the support quickly instead of languishing over getting the config bits setup. I'll just live with it until I find time to fix up an option for users like me who want that separation.

    So with that, grab 0.3.2 and let me know how well it works for you.
