Gnomish Yellow Pages

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

The Gnomish Yellow Pages will monitor all chat traffic to identify people advertising trade skills. As trade skill ads are identified, they are recorded and stored for later retrieval.

type: /gyp

to bring up a window with all information in an easy to read table.

strangers names appear in white guildmates are displayed in green friends are displayed in yellow

anybody in your local zone is shown in cyan

all offline players are red

the row of trade skill buttons will access the entire database of trade recipes so you can search for whatever recipe you wish. click to open whatever trade skill browser you use.

when browsing a trade skill, selecting a recipe will cause gyp to update the trade link color to light blue if that recipe is contained in that link. also any searches in the trade skill browser will be reflected in the gyp link color -- links that contain none of the recipes returned by the search will be dark yellow; normal yellow links indicate that at least one of the recipes in the browser window matches the trade link.

lilsparky, the .pkgmeta can get stuff from wowi's svn... not sure if that helps.

This mod is the buggiest that I've ever used, which is unfortunate considering the great utility and potential.

Bugs:

-Stored individuals disappear from the database for no reason
-Multiple instances of the GYP menu appear in the Interface/Addons menu
-Often the database will appear completely empty, and can only be restored with a /console reloadui.

Features:

-Need to be able to search for a specific rare formula among all stored data.

I'll be looking for another mod with similar working functionality until these issues are addressed.

the unfortunate problem with gyp is that it was released right when blizzard put out a couple of patches. the patches cause libtradelinks (which i rely upon) to fail because trade links are (potentially) specific to each client build.

so when a patch comes out, i am currently clearing the database to avoid having links that don't make sense for the current game client. i intend to auto-update these links in the near future. this is probably the cause of your disappearing individuals.

dunno why multiple instances of gyp's option menu appear in the interface/addons menu. i'm probably going to bail on that system and just have options accessible directly from the main panel. i needed something quick to let people adjust the automatic /who system since it as causing some problems for folks.

not sure what would cause the entire database to fail to show unless you had engaged a filter.

searching support is in there, but it's still in the early stages.

you can find the latest alpha at:
http://www.wowace.com/projects/gnomishyellowpages/

the alpha has removed the libtradelinks requirement and should be relatively patch proof.

Awesome addon with loads of potential! Sharing of the database between you and other (guild) people would be very handy.

Right now I have the problem that GYP doesn't seem to add my own professions even after linking them in g-chat.

Hey, could this, or a slight modification of it, ever be used to build up an offline database of what patterns people know? The reason I ask, I'd love to be able to use this to collect tradeskill data from all the members in my guild, and then be able to parse that data out and make a useful online tool for it.

The online tool would be really easy, I'm just curious about how this works. Looking through your code, I saw the arrays you had for the various spells, and that you're encoding something into the links, 3.0.8 came out before I could finish dissecting your code and figure out if what I'm asking is possible.

3.0.8 patch has changed the internal format of trade links so gyp is currently broken until i fix it. shouldn't take long, but i just need to find the time to rework some things.

the smelting thing should be fixed.

the guild list error i addressed, but ended up breaking in the other direction (now it keeps reseting it to online only). i've fixed it, but haven't posted a new version.

Hello

Sorry for my english (i'm a french hunter :)

great job

i agree with shadowdrakken :

1. need a way to turn off recording of trade barkers and only record guild and friends
2. need a way to manually delete individual entries
3. need a way to clear all entries (with warning dialog)
4. needs to ignore level 0 links

thank for your job

For some reason when I use this addon, it forces me to view the offline members of my guild, if I click the box on then back off, they're gone but if i go back into my guild pane it happens again.

I've been having the same problem... if no prev craft has been opened, smelting brings up a very broken window with no recipes... if a prev craft HAS been opened, smelting brings up the last craft window, but with unclickable smelting recipes.

I also have this error message on a toon with Herbs and Inscription, but does not have the broken crafting screens after the error. I've tried turning off all other addons (except !Swatter) and the error continues.

okay, i think i know what the problem is. it's trying to generate a trade link for the currently viewed tradeskill to compare against the links in the gyp database. only, smelting doesn't generate a trade link for some odd reason. blizz figured nobody would care to share their smelting capabilities with the world i guess.

anyway, i hadn't prepared for that possibility so it blows things up. i'll get on a fix right now.

herbs and inscription shouldn't cause a problem. is that toon a deathknight by any chance? runeforging could be the culprit since i believe it also doesn't have a link mechanism.

Great Addon! I do have feature request, can you either turn down how often it checks for people's status/location, or allow a manual search only mode?

After running it for a day, it has built up a nice cache of names, but it is always checking, and giving me a queue on /who commands. Which in turn interferes in functions of other addons, such as Wow Instant Messager not giving me location info. Aside from that, it is a great add on, and I look forward to a more polished version in the future!

there's an option in blizzard options menu system to turn off the /who's and or to change their frequency.

i'll add a button to get you there directly since it's kind of buried a bit.

i'm also planning on sorting out a caching system for the /who commands to they won't get lost.
