[AddOn] Aux - Enhanced Auction House Interface

[Nothing]

Really nice and clean!

Thx I'll write this one somewhere^^

Also, in French we say "charges" too :p

If you want to "add" french support you may only need to do a str.lower near your pattern because there's no capital letters for us on this one (whyyyy blizz)

Code: Select all

local pattern = '^(%d+) Charges$'

So close, haha. But really I think what I'll do is instead track down all the places where I'm matching on some localized string and simply make those patterns configurable with a slash command.

Is there a wiki? I have so many questions on how to use this

[TyrantRC]

Quick question, how do you check versions between versions?, you know what I mean? like how do I know what version do I have and what version is the lastest?. I was checking files and for example in "Aux-AddOn.toc" doesn't seem to have the version number, which is the usual file used for that kind of thing

Is there a way to use multiple search terms in a single search?

Is there a way to buy items from the posting screen?

Are there any tooltip addons you can suggest in addition to enhtooltip?

Is there a way to search for minimum buyout?

(Also I just want to praise how much easier everything is without the pricing dropdown. Great idea)

The core.lua file in the top, but it's also printed when the game is loaded so a /reload will show it.

You can separate multiple searches by semicolon. The filter tab has an add button which will add the new query after a semicolon instead of replacing the current one. Furthermore you can shift-right click your saved searches to the same effect.

You can't buy from the post screen (I guess it's planned ...)

Enhtooltip itself is simply a library to make it easier to extend the tooltip. As such I'm not aware of an alternative, nor would it really matter which you use if there is one, I guess.

There are a few other useful addons that also use enhtooltip for their tooltip extensions. Among them Informant and Enchantrix. I'm planning on eventually getting rid of the dependency though.

You can't search for minimum buyout but you can search with a max buyout filter (simply add a money amount between slashes to the search query)

Like I said the next update will include a big extension of the queries. There will be new filters like profit, you'll be able to specify if price related filters apply to the bid or buyout and you'll be able to combine all post-processing filters like you can currently only do with the tooltip filters.

If you can make a good case for a min buyout filter maybe I'll add one too but right now I can't think of a good use as sorting does the same pretty much and you can always cut off the results with a max buyout filter if you get too many.

After the next update I'll add a detailed description of the queries to the main post, including some examples of queries that I find personally useful.

Well it would be useful for really broad searches. I usually order the list by market value and that makes it a pain to skip through all the <1silver stuff, and vice versa. I think it's a good idea because it's pointless for somebody with a lot of capital to keep seeing items they will never buy. It might as well not be listed so they can focus on other things.

Hm, I would say there are essentially two cases. Either you're looking for something specific, then you would want it as cheap as possible and if you get too many results you can use a max buyout or max percentage filter.

The other case is that you're making a broad search for good deals and don't care about what you buy. In that case it seems the best would be a profit filter (or a combination of profit filter and percentage filter)
This is an example of what the next version will support: buyout-profit/5g/buyout-pct/60
which means it will list all items where the market value is at least 5g higher than the buyout price (to filter out those 1s auctions like you said) and the where the percentage is at most 60% (because the profit filter may easily give false positives for very expensive items)

The problem I see with using a min buyout instead of profit filter for this would be that you miss when someone accidentally puts up an expensive item for a few silver.

The new queries should be fairly functional now on the dev branch, if you wanna try them out. Some things are still missing, like the filter tab is not updated yet, but if you type in the queries directly everything should work.

I'll now describe the new queries in detail. When I move the update to the master branch I'll move this to the main post.
