TradeskillInfo

11 - Color in tooltip

I used Book of craft from the beginning, but it is not maintained thus, i look for an alternative. I found Tradeskillinfo.

The addon is doing everything i was expecting just for one function.

Can you incorporate the color of the recipe in the tooltip for componants like this occurs in Book of craft.

For exemple.
When you look for the item "Copper bar" and i have Two character who can use it, the first have juste learn "Blacksmithing" and this appears in orange, the second is more expérienced and have begined to use iron, it appear in green because there is a last green recipe using copper bar"

I hope you understand my request (i am french speaking, and writing in english is sometimes difficult :) ).

    I will see what I can do about incorrect skill levels, but I will not be able to look into it for another two weeks. From what I can gather, the skill level requirements of wowhead (and other databases) are incorrect on the first number only, so it might be possible to put a trigger on something that you are not supposed to know, and somehow mark these names (in tooltip and maybe in the UI).

    I am leaving this ticket open until I have a chance to do further work on this.

    Where would be a good spot to post items that might have incorrect skill level tags?  Would you prefer a PM?

    I think even your bare bones addition as you put it will do nicely.  I have all the professions between all the alts I have, so I will check it out a little more.  However this is exactly what I was hoping for thanks for the update.

    I have misunderstood the original request. The bare-bones feature is implemented in r341.

    The difficulty in choosing the color arises from the fact that TradeskillInfo does a (5 level) deep scan of combines when looking for combines that uses the the item. This means it looks for other items that can be created using the specified items, and recurse using the crafted item, up to five levels (for example, silk cloth->bolt of silk cloth->Azure Silk Pants). Each of these combines can come from different trade skills, and each one may have different difficulty levels. I have chosen to show the maximum difficulty (i.e., if copper wire is gray, but Braided Copper Ring is green for an alt, the alt name in usable by field of copper bar will be shown as green). The reasoning is: if you want to enable this feature, you want to know if an item can be used to level the trade skill of an alt, and maximum difficulty relays this information.

    I was wondering if your code already makes note of the skill level a player has for the profesion?  Does it note that the craftable item is grey, green, yellow, orange to that player?

    If so for a future update can you add color to the tooltip where it shows usable by so that I know if my char would skill off crafting that item?  If not there somewhere you feel is better please.

    I am not good with photoshop but I did my best to color code 4 chars with an example of what I am looking for.
