[Addon] ShaguDB 6.7 - An Ingame Database Addon

Foreword:
If you're searching for a QuestHelper alike Addon, please have look at Questie.
Initially ShaguQuest was supposed to bring a questhelping solution to classic.
But since the Questie project started in March 2015, I stopped improving the
questintegration of ShaguQuest and focused my development on it's database.

Attention:
ShaguDB and ShaguQuest are now seperated!
You can use the database as a standalone
by simply disabling ShaguQuest in the Addons menu.
If you still got ExtendedQuestlog installed, you need to remove/disable it.
(WHDB will work nicely with ShaguQuest instead of EQL3)


What is ShaguDB?
ShaguDB is a Database Addon which draws different types of data on your
Cartographer Map. This includes Vendors, Lootchances, NPCs, Monsters, Quests,
Herbs, Ores and much more.
If ShaguQuest is enabled, it offers some kind of quest integration too.

FAQ
Q: How do I install your Addon?
A: The Zip file contains 3 Folders. They must be placed in your Wow Folder in:
Interface/AddOns/Cartographer
Interface/AddOns/ShaguDB
Interface/AddOns/ShaguQuest [optional]

Q: Why does nothing happens if I type '/shagu spawn Iron Ore' ?
A: People get often confused between 'spawn' and 'item', so let me clarify a few things:
* spawn is for Objects, NPCs and other things which are 'real' existing in the world
* item is for searching in the loottable of Monsters and Objects.

So if you're searching for Ores, use '/shagu spawn Iron Deposit' to show all Spawnpoints of Iron Deposits
and '/shagu item Iron Ore' to show every spot where Iron Ore can be looted.
This includes the deposits but also includes all other lootspots like chests, monster, etc.
tl;dr: 'spawn' for object (Veins/Deposits), 'item' for items (Ores)

Q: Why should I use ShaguQuest instead of Questie?
A: You shouldn't, there is no 'either..or'. Use Questie if you want a QuestHelper,
use ShaguQuest if you want an accurate database,
use both if you want both. Quite easy, eh?

Q: Why the CLI interface doesn't show anything?
A: All '/shagu' commands are case-sensitive. You might have misspelled the item.

Q: I already used ShaguQuest but don't know if I need a Update?
A: If you type '/shagu' the current version including the locales will be shown in your chatwindow.
If your version is older than the latest one, an update is always recommended.

Q: A lot of LUA Errors appearing since enabling ShaguQuest, what should I do?
A: Please try to delete your Cache folder (WDB). Doublecheck ShaguQues locales matching the Server locales.
(e.g ShaguQuest-enGB for english clients)
If this won't work, try disable every other addon beside Shagu/EQL/Cartographer.
Now enable your AddOns one by one to find the one which interferes with ShaguQuest.
Please send me an email if you found an addon which cannot be used in combination with ShaguQuest.

Q: I use MetaMap and won't switch to Cartographer. Can I still use ShaguQuest?
A: Nope, not yet. I got this on my TODO but you shouldn't wait for. Sorry.

Greetings

Fantastic looking update! I'm very excited to try out all these new features.

I'm also glad that spawn and item commands were clarified. However, I've had trouble getting the item command to work. Whenever I use /shagu item Medium Hide for example, the chat box just displays searching Medium Hide, but doesn't actually give me the loot table info. Its probably another AddOn interfering and one of these days I'll sit through and test each one individually to figure which is the culprit.

Also, I love the look of your UI, any chance you could share it?

Thanks yet again for a wonderful AddOn!

From some quick testing it seems the AddOn Wowhead DB that adds the comments from Wowhead into the questlog is preventing ShaguQuest from displaying the drop chances of items such as Medium Hide when I use /shagu item "ITEM NAME"

Hey,

Been using your addon forever and decided to update after I saw this thread. But I am getting this error whenever I type a spawn command like: /shagu spawn Gromsblood

It seems to be related to the addon ''Wowhead Database''.

Code: Select all
Error:  bad argument #2 to `strfind' (string expected, got nil)
AddOn: ShaguQuest
File: ShaguQuest.lua
Line: 282
Count: 1



I can just disable it and then it works fine but if you are able to fix it, it would be nice.

Hi kutsal, Hi Humble Kagu

The Error appears, because WHDB uses the same variable name for zoneData and itemData.
I will rename them in ShaguQuest on the next release. Thank you for reporting the Error.

Greetings

Version 6.2 is now available:
- ShaguDB and ShaguQuest are now seperated. And the databse doesn't depend on ShaguQuest anymore.
- You can use the database as a standalone by simply disabling ShaguQuest in the Addons menu.
- A Quest-auto-tracking was added to ShaguQuest to automatically show all quest-stuff on the map.
- WHDB and ShaguDB/Quest will now work together. You can safely disable EQL3, WHDB will work as known.

hey shagu, there seems to be a minor compatibility problem between shaguquest [EQL3] and questie.

the problem is that i'm unable to add or remove quests at all in my quest tracker. i'm mostly certain it's between questie since questie and shagudb are the only addons i currently use (along with their dependancies).

i would have sent this through email or pms, but you didn't include your email in your post and i couldn't find it via google, and i don't have access to pms since i'm a new member so....eh, best idea i could come up with was to post the issue in this thread.

hope you'll see this message soon :)
