This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.
Warning: This project is experimental. Its files will not synchronize across the CurseForge network.
* This addon is now abandoned, due to problems with realm time differences (even on the same realm but different maps), which makes it impossible to reliably synchronize the auctions between players (which was the main feature of the addon). *
There are several problems with this though. Addon messages (hidden ones, done through SendAddonMessage) cannot be sent using such channel. This means that those messages will have to be sent publicly and I can already imagine the amount of trolls on such channel (remember, channel is available for everyone having the addon in one faction) posting fake info about auctions by simply typing in the incorrect information into the chat. To avoid this, I'd have to develop some sort of message obfuscation or at least CRC or so, as currently messages aren't really encrypted or encoded in any way. Such channel would also require one channel number, which some people might not have available. Also, unlike guild/whisper etc. chats, channels are subject of much more restrictive spam throttling, which would ruin the addon communication in its current implementation (even though so far the amount of generated messages shouldn't exceed the spam threshold, I don't like this idea when thinking about further development).
Would seem to be a lot better to share the BMAH info with others who use the addon and not just guildies/friends....with the addon communication channel seems like it wouldn't be too difficult.
Good addon, but bugs out with CRZ. If I see the item on my server, then group w. someone from another server so I get CRZ'ed to their server, I still see the same BMAH items (as I should) but BMT throws an error on line 483 in BMT_PredictedTimeGetDefaults, since the BMT_TIME_LEFT[timeLeft] is ? not a number.
Ideally the packet of data sharing within guild would also track server/realm local time, so you can convert all times to UTC or something for comparison.
CRZ is overpowered for bidding on PvP servers, it would be great to be able to use BMT to also get more accurate timers in these cases.
If you run this addon on a toon that isn't in a guild you cause "you are not in a guild" messages being printed to the chatframe.
You shouldn't use the addon channels for party, raid, guild, officer, bg if you don't have them available ;)
If your guild is trying to get some raid heroic-quality item you want to know as much about the item as possible, such as the predicted time left (which will be narrowed with more searches such as sync ones). It's also good for those who are lazy and want to be up to date with what currently is up on the BMAH without having to move there. Once I add the configuation menu to the addon there will be an option to disable sync (completly, or to only send or only accept the items).
Yep, the past items aren't viewable yet, will have to add a tab or so for it, I'm also aware of the items not being linkable. Additionally to that, there are still some issues with syncing the items between people and quite a few features to be added. Thanks for your comment though :) Also, whoever gets absolutely any LUA error from this addon, please let me know when this happened as well as copy that error message, this will be very helpful for me.
EDIT: Items can be now shift-clicked into the chat, or ctrl-clicked to be viewed on your character

Posted Nov 6, 2012I can see the current items but no past items and I am unable to link them to chat from your interface. Good idea though
