About MaterialsTracker

This added was originally created by Shamino but was not updated since Draenor era.

MaterialsTracker will keep track of the materials required for your known professions, and keep counts on what are in your bags, banks, guild banks and mailbox on all of your toons. Simply hover over an item, and if it's being tracked, counts will be shown in the tooltip.

This was inspired by Shamino's other addon EnchantingSeller, which has this functionality built-in, however only for the Enchanting profession.

Tooltip

The tooltip will tell you...

1. how many on you
2. how many in bank
3. how many in your mailbox
4. how many on other toons
5. how many in your guild banks

Usage

These steps should be completed for each character:

1. Open each tradeskill and craft frames. MaterialsTracker will record all the materials for the profession. Please, close each window after few seconds, not reopen another trade skill instead.
2. Visit the bank. MaterialsTracker will record counts of materials stored there.
3. Update your bags. Just move an item in your bags. MaterialsTracker will record counts of materials stored there.
4. Visit your mailbox
5. Visit the guild bank. MaterialsTracker will record counts of materials stored there.

I have made it to work just fine with retail 9.2.5. There are some issues with releasing it here, working on that.

Just letting people know if they like MaterialsTracker, but also want to track all their bag items they might want to use StuffTracker addon.

v40000.02
- added a wait period before it scans for tradeskill items to reduce game freezing.
- added combat check, to avoid scanning while in combat.

so its just what is on your twinks guild bank that does not show up? Did you move all of your toons to a different server? You may also have to relearn everything, since MT stores information based on your toons realm and character name.

you basically need to relearn everything that you've saved previously if you deleted you SV file. start by opening all your profession windows, then open your bank and move something around, it should recount everything.

I love this addon! I'm in the process of updating my toons and manually adding Abyss Crystals and the like.

One feature I'd love to see...
1. For 'On Toons' it would be great to have a break down of which toons have the mats. Granted I'll probably just consolidate to save bag space but it would be nice.

you can actually use a slash command to find this information. I chose not to include it in the tooltip, since the tooltip could become quite large, depending on how many toons you have.

/mtracker item [itemlink]

Add-on authors have the ability to do whatever they want- That is what attracts many to making add-ons, the ability to customize it the way THEY want. I always take it as an act of charity that they share their work with the community, so if you refuse to reform to their choices, I say make your own add-ons.
