LilSparky's Workshop

Table of Contents

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

LilSparky's Workshop adds auction-derived pricing information for trade skills right into the trade skill recipe frame. Each skill is evaluated for material costs and potential value of the item created. These two numbers are listed next to each skill in an easy-to-read format.

Supported Auction Scanners:

Auctioneer
AuctionLite
AuctionMaster
Auctionator

Optionally Requires:

Informant (for vendor availability)

LibPeriodicTable (for vendor availability)

Trade Skill Interfaces Supported:

GnomeWorks
AdvancedTradeSkillWindow
Skillet
Blizzard's Standard UI
Doublewide Tradeskills
Tradeskill HD

Auction pricing models can be selected by right-clicking either the value column or the cost column (each can have a different pricing method attached).

The Value column can be left clicked to cycle through the different valuation methods for the resultant item: Auction Value (a), Vendor Value (v), Disenchant Value (d) or the greatest of the three different values (the default). Any instance of an item Value being greater than the Cost to create it will have a highlighted Value entry. Optionally, the Value column can be displayed as a percentage of the Cost column.

The Cost column simply sums up the costs for each reagent and reports the total.

Both columns can be combined into a single "Profit" column which simply reflects the Value minus the Cost.

Tooltips for each column give more details about the price breakdowns LSW is considering.

A note regarding vendor availability:

LSW utilizes supplied item databases to determine when an item is readily available from a vendor. Occasionally this may not be accurate, usually because the item is a trade in for another item and not buyable with gold. I have provided a simple way to over-ride the vendor database:

/script LSWConfig.vendorOverride[item#] = (true/false/nil)

The item# is the item ID for the specific item. It is a single number. For example, 2589 is Linen Cloth.
Setting the value to "true" means the item is available at the vendor.
Setting the value to "false" means the item is not available at the vendor.
Setting the value to "nil" means to use the provided databse.

There is now also a right-click option to override the vendor availability and also to hand enter specific prices for items.

A note about frame/auction support:

LSW utilizes a plug in scheme to handle support to handle pricing and frame support. I am unlikely to add additional plugins directly into LSW. The goal of the plugin system is to provide basic templates that other addon authors could employ to provide LSW support on their end while at the same time providing functionality for a base set of common mods. Addon authors are free to contact me regarding the plugin system if issues arise or the system doens't make sense.

I opened a ticket about it, it's definitely reporting invalid values.

if it's just for enchanting, i think it may be an api bug i've seen reported regarding the # of items crafted (enchants apparently return a random value now). i don't think i've seen anything peculiar on the ptr, so it could be fixed now and waiting for an update. i'll double-check.

The values that lilsparky's workshop reports for crafting items is totally bogus in 5.4. It will tell me things like 875g for an enchant, but auctioneer reports it as 3g for the enchant. The auctioneer value matches up with what is in the AH.

I have taken over maintenance of KevTool Queue, an addon which allows you to automatically queue items up for crafting in GnomeWorks or Skillet with a simple command. I have found the combination of GW, LilSparky's Workshop, and KTQ to be extremely powerful. It saves me an enormous amount of time on my daily crafting chores.

I've posted a new version of KTQ with some updates for WoW 5.3. If you'd like to check it out, please go to:

http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/kevtool-queue/

Or search for KevTool Queue in the Curse client.

Hughescr,

Hopefully, you can get added as an author to this addon as well so we can get a your patch(es) into SVN.

Using this patch instead should fix things without needing to change the call in UpdateRecipeCache. This is how I fixed the same problem in GnomeWorks; I also blatantly copied that code from somewhere internety, but I think it's a nicer solution. If Blizz ever fixes GetTradeSkillItemReagentLink() to not return nil all the time, then it's an easier revert. It's also much cleaner code. The original code is going to leak a lot of frames, since it's creating a new frame every call to the function; mine caches the frame and only uses one per time the addon is loaded. You'll run out of memory less :)

In regards: Change one line in UpdateRecipeCache() to point to the new function

What line did you change?

Like this?

if skillType = "header" then local itemLink = FixedGetTradeSkillItemLink(i)

Blatantly stole this from Skillet.

Add this function above UpdateRecipeCache()

local function FixedGetTradeSkillReagentItemLink(i,j)
	local tooltip = CreateFrame("GameTooltip", "LilSparkyDataScanTooltip", UIParent, "GameTooltipTemplate")
	tooltip:SetOwner(UIParent, "ANCHOR_NONE")
	tooltip:ClearLines()
	tooltip:SetTradeSkillItem(i,j)
	local _, reagentLink = tooltip:GetItem()
	return reagentLink
end

Change one line in UpdateRecipeCache() to point to the new function.

scrollIDs.lua

insert at end:
[104404] = 74713, -- Enchant Cloak - Superior Critical Strike (333)
[104338] = 74700, -- Enchant Bracer - Mastery (334)

Fixes bug where those enchants would not be able to be used for log of pricing and sales.

So can we assume that LSW is officially dead? Current version is outdated and the outdated one is actually an alpha not to mention there has been very little activity lately. It's a shame because LSW is one of the most helpful addons out there along with Auctioneer. :(

I'm assuming from the dates of recent files that this version is for 5.0.4 or 5.0.5. Any chance of getting that updated?

Edit: After downloading and installing r136, I see that the .toc has not been updated.
