Automaton

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

1.4.0 will be Automaton's final release. I've removed many modules for it which were obsolete, poorly implemented, or otherwise neglected. If they worked for you and you need them back, feel free to download the previous version. My intention is to at some point break Automaton apart into several addons that may replace the functionality in smaller and more focused packages. Keep an eye on my author page, at some nebulous point in the future they will begin to appear. I may disappear for long periods of time, but I always come back eventually :)

Automaton is a collection of modules which are aimed at providing players with tools to Automate frequent and tedious interface activities. Examples include: bypassing "gossip" text, automatically repairing items when at vendors, handing in repeatable or daily quests, and more. Refer to the list below of included modules along with brief descriptions.

If you would like a graphical menu to navigate the options, you can install a mod which displays DataBroker compatible options. One example: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/button-bin.aspx FuBar users might want to try using: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/broker2fubar.aspx

1.3.7+ note: Some extremely rudimentary code has been added to a couple modules for creating custom lists: sell/ignore lists for the sell module, and a list of players to always send invites to for the invite module. They're clunky and particular, but I left them in because they do function on a basic level.

Hold down shift when talking to NPCs to temporarily disable Gossip to change your hearth or whatever.

Gossip - Will bypass all kinds of NPC dialogues for you, such as repeatable quests or gossip text.

Group - Options for automatically accepting group invites.

Invite - Options for sending players invites automatically via keywords.

Repair - Repairs all your items any time you interact with a vendor which can do so. Can also be set to attempt to repair with Guild Bank funds first.

Sell - Sell all your trash (gray items) any time you click on a vendor. This module needs some love to be a little more flexible, but is still incredibly convenient.

druid forms are considered auras now. Changing CancelPlayerAura for druid in flight will unshapeshift you when talking to flight masters even tho its gives an error: [2008/12/04 17:12:44-350-x1]: Automaton-1.3.5\modules\Flight.lua:59: attempt to call global 'CancelPlayerAura' (a nil value)

Known bug. You can disable the module, it's not necessary anymore anyway and will be gone in the next release.

Would anyone be terribly offended if we got rid of Ding? weab and I both don't particularly like it. Doesn't feel like it fits in with the rest of our modules.

I think it's a great idea!

Is Filter working properly atm? Currently, the trainer is also showing Already Known and unchecking it does nothing. Perhaps I should blow away my Automaton SV and start fresh?

For queue module,
self:ScheduleEvent("Automaton_Queue" .. confirm, AcceptBattlefieldPort, 60, confirm, 1)

should be changed to:

self:ScheduleEvent("Automaton_Queue" .. confirm, AcceptBattlefieldPort, 60*1000, confirm, 1)

No it shouldn't. The delay parameter to ScheduleEvent is in seconds, not milliseconds.

The automatic quest doing part is currently lumped together with the gossip doing part. We want to separate them eventually, but we've both gotten a little distracted getting ready for the expansion.

The slash command is /auto or /automaton.

I am using v1.3.5, and getting the following error:

Automaton-1.3.5\modules\Gossip\Gossip.lua:142: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

I had to disable the addon for the moment because I couldn't accept a few quests or turnin reputation items as the dialog screen didn't show up with 'Automaton' loaded.

I'd be very happy if there is any chance to fix this problem.

PS: I'm playing on a deDE server, if that is of any interest.

Hmm… that's a 3 year old debugging message that should probably not even still exist. Try turning of debugging and see if that helps.

bug in 'flight' module: with 3.x, CancelPlayerBuff was replaced by CancelUnitBuff. But iirc it will do nothing for forms so you can't cancel them that way.

From my testing the Flight module is entirely outdated and will be removed in the next release.

Unshapeshift seems to be the same way, I've yet to find a case where it would prove useful.

LootBOP - Suppresses the dialogue box for BOP items when you are solo. Note that you must still click on the item twice to loot it.

Will this work w/ Old Ironjaw and Old Crafty. I have read on other boards about how Auto Loot has caused people to miss because of the Looting this item will bind to you message
Will this jack that up as well

It does and it will. This is a case of Let the User Beware, since that is the intended functionality of the module. If you're going to be fishing for something that is BOP, either make sure you're paying complete attention or make sure you disable this module.
