Wow! Thanks so much for this info, athgar! I made the changes you suggest. I found & replaced the two strings you mentioned in GetTradeskill.lua, Gnomeworks.lua, and Skillworks.lua. (Note that in the new function calls, "Skill" must be capitalized: GetTradeSkillCategoryFilter and SetTradeSkillCategoryFilter or else you still get the lua error.)

Now I can open Gnomeworks and I don't get the lua error. However, when I do so, the game suddenly starts going veeeerrrrrry slooooowwwwly, almost as if it has entered an infinite loop which is sucking up all the CPU cycles (although none of the CPU's show full occupancy on my CPU gadget). After a while, the game client gets disconnected from the server, presumably because it has stopped exchanging packets with the server at an acceptable rate.

Anyone with lua debugging skills out there? I'd be glad to send you the updated files if you PM me with your email address.

Edit: Woah! Thank you, Jaxomuk! I hope you are able to take over if Sparky isn't coming back. My offer to serve as a tester still stands.

It appears that they do, yes.

A quick and dirty fix to get rid of the immediate errors would be to replace every instance of GetTradeskillSubClassFilter and SetTradeskillSubClassFilter with GetTradeskillCategoryFilter and SetTradeskillCategoryFilter. I'd post that change myself, but I don't know how and wouldn't feel comfortable doing it.

I'm really hoping someone will take this over, if Lilsparky doesn't come back! I use this addon (with LSW and KTQ) constantly, and now that patch 5.0 has broken it, I'm feeling pretty desperate.

I would be glad to help get GnomeWorks back up and running. My coding skills have almost two decades of rust, and my only exposure to lua code is in writing macros, so I don't feel that I have the skills to take over the project myself.

But I've got at least 8 toons at max (525) profession levels and other toons with profs close to the cap. I think I can contribute a useful testing environment, and, with a little help, maybe some debugging efforts as well.

we're screwed :-(

Posted a fix to ticket 362 - Quantities are the wrong color. Please see the ticket comments for details.

@lilsparky

Have you found someone to take over this project? I fervently hope so! This is one of the few addons that I find absolutely indispensable. I use it every day, generally many times a day. I don't know what I would do without it. I dread the arrival of MoP because I'm sure that many addons will break, but if this addon falls by the wayside I will be tearing my hair out.

If you got some donations would it help motivate you to continue development and maintenance? If so, where can I make a donation?

Is this dead? I cannot seem to download it from this site or the project page or curse client...

There are two flaws that I have come across so far. One is that when looking at the guilds recipes then click on a recipe then click on View Crafters, this is where the problem comes in at. It shows that everyone that can make the item is ONLINE. I looked at the roster and it said that not everyone listed is online. Is there a way to change this so it does show who is online and who is offline. The other problem is the skipping just after creating an item. It is not completely a problem, but it is a big nuisance.

@Kalnazzar If I'm understanding what you're requesting, that's practically the main function of the addon. You select what you want to make, and it figures out all the steps that need to be taken in between, gives you lists of what you have, and where it is, and what you don't have. Needed items in your bank can be withdrawn with a single click, and it can search the auction house for anything you don't have. It's got some bugs, but it's still the best crafting addon out there.

Can i ask something i dont have this addon yet i wont to get it but i was hopeing i could make a request that might be taken into consideration for upcomeing updates. If it dose have it thin dont worry about it lol but is there a way to make it were lets say you need to make copper wire but you dont have the bars but you do have the ore to make it so there is a button that you can hit so it auto put the mats (copper ore) into q to be made into bars thin it start to auto makeing the copper wire like a set of stuff watting to be made??
