[AddOn] Aux - A new Vanilla auction house addon
Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2015 10:41 pmAux
A new auction house addOn for Vanilla WoW - brought to you by myself and Zerf.
Building on Nimeral's backport of Zirco's Auctionator many extensions and a lot of polish have been added making this indubitably the most useful Vanilla auction house addOn to date.
Development will remain active and any bugs that may turn up can be expected to be fixed in short time.
You can always get the latest version from GitHub: Aux repository (note: the folder name needs to be the same as the .toc, "Aux-Addon", you have to remove the branch name/version number)
What is Aux?
Aux adds two tabs to the traditional auction house layout, Aux Sell and Aux Buy, which make selling and buying respectively a much more streamlined experience, automating a lot of the annoying little tasks involved in managing your auctions and providing you with much better information to base decisions on.
Aux Sell
The Aux Sell panel gives you pricing suggestions based on existing auctions (undercutting by 1 copper) when you put an item in the auction slot (an ALT-key shortcut for this can be toggled in the options). Aux will cache search results so that you don't have to wait several seconds to minutes between auctions. If you need to update the information there's a refresh button. You can further select a specific entry from the list to base the pricing suggestion on if you don't like its default choice.
Aux Buy
The Aux Buy panel makes a multi-page search for you and lists all items with the most relevant information sorted by unit price. From that list you can select all the auctions you want to buy and after your confirmation Aux then makes another multi-page search, picking up all the selected auctions in the process. (There is no better way to do this with the Vanilla API, but it is still vastly better than the default browse tab). At the end you're presented with a report about what has been purchased (sometimes the auctions will already have been gone or the search may be interrupted by closing the auction house or switching tabs, resulting in not all auctions being purchased). Charges of items are treated the same way as stack size, making scammers who put them up with one charge very obvious (see screenshot below).
Additional Features
Planned Features
The planned feature set of Aux is pretty much complete. Future updates will include mostly bug fixes, more polish and small user experience enhancements like maybe an autocomplete feature for the search boxes and more detailed reporting for purchases.
