[AddOn] Aux - Enhanced Auction House Interface

[Skoll]

Renamed the file

File? You mean folder?

it should look like this:

Mine won't buy anthing anymore.
The first attempt to buy gives error buy.lua:173 attempt to compare number with nil.
Then when clicking buy again it sits at scanning auctions. Did relog.

Edit: Newest version fixed problem.

Any way to stop my bids panel from bleeding through on the Aux - Buy panel?

Love it nice work. No more auctioneer.

Thought I'd fixed that, gonna look at it after work (edit: can't reproduce it. sure you have the newest version?). Also been working on implementing browse functionality on the buy tab (so far added the category filtering) with the goal to eventually completely merge the two. (gonna also add more advanced sorting akin to auctioneer's browse, and eventually completely replace the default auction house skin)

Another update: I have added a tooltip filter to the buy page. You can now for example select armor->cloth->head from the category dropdown and add a "shadow spell damage" filter, giving you all cloth heads with shadow damage. The input of filters is a bit clumsy though.

and now add the Item list on the left side and you are my hero

Probably will but next on the TODO list is auctioneer style sorting of the search results.

By the way, what do you think about my buying mechanism vs the retail auctionator's? I guess what retail auctioneer does is it remembers the page of the auctions, so when you request one it's pretty quick to find it. (But the disadvantage is of course if the page has changed it won't find it anymore, or it could do a full rescan but since it's individual auctions that would be very inconvenient)

Also there's the buy confirmation. Of course because of the retail hardware event requirement it has to be there but maybe it would be good anyway? Though it makes mass purchases less convenient.

And then the stacked view, not sure what to think about that. Makes sense for the sell tab of course but if I'm gonna add different sorting to the buy tab it wouldn't work so well I think ...


PS Does anyone know how to obtain item stats other than through the tooltip? It would be more elegant to filter by stats than by a text based tooltip filter like I am now. Sure, I could parse it out of the tooltip, but then that only works for the English client (which unfortunately also is the case for itemcharges as of now). I could just pre-parse every item in my english client and hardcode the stats in the addon, but that would kind of suck on Nost, because patches can change the item stats and it wouldn't work for suffixes (though I guess those can be obtained through the suffix id from the itemstring? But not charges I think? they're obtained by means of a server side record indexed by the uniqueid afaik?)

The only difference is the "Remember" Item List on the Left Side

And maybe the Retail version is a little bit faster on buying stuff.

The List is just to find things faster. You dont need to type "Ghost Mushroom" ... you only click on the Name and dats it. Btw it not only Remember the Last items, you can add a name manuel.

No, in the retail version you buy auctions one by one. You select one, it tries to find it and asks for confirmation, buys it, you select the next one etc.
In mine you select everything you want and it tries to get it all.

The disadvantage of mine is that you cannot reevaluate your decisions if it fails to buy something that's already gone.

The advantage is it's much faster if you buy a lot.
