[AddOn] Aux - Enhanced Auction House Interface

[Bit]

When you select an item to auction, the addon will put a price in both the buy and bid boxes. I'm not sure where it draws the bid price from, but I would prefer that it drew it from the same place it draws the buy price . This would make them the same price. For me, this would greatly speed up listing.

If you're using fixed pricing both the start price and buyout price will be remembered.

If you're using undercut/market/automatic it will put in a start price of 5% less than the buyout. The reasoning behind that is that the default AH does sorting only by bid, so you'll appear higher up with a lower bid (and 5% less is still high enough that you won't make a big loss/probably won't get bids anyway)

A few months ago someone also requested bid undercutting but I haven't gotten around to implement that yet/not sure how to make a good interface for it.

The issue wasn't with fixed pricing. I basically wanted to click the item and click post, but I want the bid and buyout to be the same. I know that won't necessarily work where there are no existing auctions, but the majority of my listings will have someone to undercut. It saves me the added step of manually editing the bid prices on items before posting.

I edited lines 608 and 619 in post_frame.lua from "0.95" to "1" (though I assume just removing the " * 0.95" would have the same effect, but this addon represents the first time I have even looked at lua code so I took what I considered the safer option). This provided most of what I was looking for and is enough to satiate me for the time being. Optimally for me, it would be great to have the Unit Starting Price auto fill anything manually entered into the Unit Buyout Price (this is possible in Auctioneer, and I believe it will also put in a 5% undercut automatically - depends on the option selected), so if I have to manually adjust a price, it auto-backfills the Starting Price. But I am fairly content with the changes I have managed thus far.

I would be excited to see how close you can get this to the functionality of TSMAuction, so if you have plans to try to get more of the functionality found in that, please continue. This is great work. Thank you.

Will it ever be possible to search for specific affixes on greens such as Geomancers Cloak of Intellect?

I managed to bug the player in chat rightclick in one of the last updates ... should be fixed now. Apparently SetItemRef is used to process player links, contrary to what the name might imply.

It already is, using a tooltip filter.
Try the query "geomancer's cloak/exact/tt/of intellect".
You can even do much more fancy stuff with tooltip filters. I've written about it a bit earlier in this thread.

The post tab is really more auctioneer appraiser inspired than TSM. I'm not sure how well TSM auctioning fits with vanilla. It seems designed around the idea of first doing a quick full scan before using it but that's just not possible in vanilla.

Can anyone give me a quick tutorial on posting an item? I select the item I want to sell, it scans and shows a list of existing auctions, I get that - but what do I do from there? It seems clicking on existing auctions from the scan results will change the post buyout price to that result. Am I supposed to just pick which auction price I want to copy based on my best guess?

Is there any way you could remove or move the "Doublep-Click to collapse..." tooltip to the side when looking at items it tends to hide when mouse over things. It gets a bit annoying that it pops everywhere.

Suggestion, to move it to the side as you mouse over items only.

Other than that good job and using the latest update. I'll be back to see if theres a way around it. Thanks

You select the one you want to undercut. Most of the time you want to pick either the one with the lowest price or the one with the lowest price of the same stack size as you're posting.

Moved it to the bottom right like the saved searches tooltips.

could you explain a bit more in this? maybe a screen shot.

What I'm saying is the tool tip that pops when there's more than 1 same item and it says "Double-Click to collapse ...etc." in a rectangular form and it keeps popping anywhere you hover over your mouse at. Making it hard to see things.

Thanks.

Loving the new UI design. Truly amazing addon.
