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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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

when you open a trade skill window, gyp will only show those trade skills. when you close the trade skill window, it should go back to the full list.

sorry, there's no way to query the trade skill of a player.

yeah, that's an error in the guildcraft data sharing. turns out guildcraft changed the way it's storing the links so now the data sharing bugs out.

if you're handy with a text editor, you can change line 1755 to remove the trailing "|h" from:

local _,_,tradeID,level,bitmap = string.find(link, "trade:(%d+):(%d+):%d+:[0-9a-fA-F]+:([A-Za-z0-9+/]+)|h")

so that it reads:

local _,_,tradeID,level,bitmap = string.find(link, "trade:(%d+):(%d+):%d+:[0-9a-fA-F]+:([A-Za-z0-9+/]+)")

or you can download the alpha from wowace's project files.

Thanks for fixing the previous issues.

One thing I noticed when I first logged in after patch 3.0.9 is that 1) the formula database had to rebuild and 2) all of the existing user data had been nuked.

My primary reason for using this mod is to track down people with rare formulas. It's sometimes very difficult when they aren't online a lot or don't have the habit of linking their trade in chat (I have to bug them to do so). It would be great if the old data could somehow be kept or converted.

I'd also like to see a text search field where I can type in a part of the name or component like "frost" and see results, rather than have to discover the exact name of the formula.

the issue with the formula database is that a patch may or may not change the spell order for trade skills. if it does, then trade skill links are going to be bogus. at the moment, i'm nuking the saved links when a new patch comes out. my goal is to convert them when a new patch comes out, but i haven't delved into that one yet.

starting with my next release, i'll include the current patch's data so that you'll only need to scan if a new patch comes out and you run gyp before i have a chance to update the data.

i'm leaving searching out of gyp in favor of leveraging whatever trade skill ui you're using. if you want to find a specific recipe, click on the trade icons in gyp. those have the complete list of all trade skills so you can use your trade skill ui to search for "frost". if you find the one you like, click it and the people who have it will have cyan trade links.

Every time GYP Finishes it's initial scan, it gets an error. Relogging causes the same exact error.

This mod is a brilliant idea, and I thank you for it. Just a pair of requests: Could you add code to make a fubar button for this mod? Second, could you add an option to filter offline players?

yeah, i'm sure i could manage a fubar button.

you can filter via the column headers. right click on the player header and you get options to filter out offline players and/or strangers (ie, not guild or friends).

Liking it so far =) I'm just having one problem with alchemy, I think it has something to do qith the fact the links read "master of *******" and not straight out "alchemy". That being said I could be completely off here but I'm pretty sure my alchemy list is staying void when people are linking it quite often.

when i get specialists links i "pretend" they are generalized links for sorting/filtering purposes, but in truth, the actual link is unadulterated internally so i don't think there should be any issues arise from that.

if you have a trade skill window open when links are posted, they will not make it into gyp until you close your trade skill window. this is because gyp uses the trade skill api to validate the links before recording them. this might make it appear links are not being recorded.

is that what you meant by your alchemy list is staying void -- that links were not being recorded when it seemed they should?

yes. it works with pretty much any chat.

it also understands when you link somebody else's trade link that the link belongs to that other person and not you.

for guild related recipe stuff, you might also wanna look at "guild craft" which does auto syncing with other guildmates (assuming they're also running guild craft).

Holy cow, this is a beautiful idea for an addon. I'm downloading it now (just saw it profiled on mmo-champion), and I think it's BRILLIANT. I'm a little worried about all the mentions of bugs, but if you get it all ironed out, it will be as useful as auctioneer for me.

the mod is in active development, so as new features come on line, it may take a bit to iron them out. that said, a lot of the initial "bugs" in gyp were because of the last couple patches that came out. patches caused a complete failure because of the way trade links are encoded (it also didn't help that blizz actually totally changed the format of their trade links in 3.0.8).

i've since added a discovery system to account for most patching issues (gyp will take a moment to collect the necessary info to encode/decode trade links for the current build when it's necessary to do so).

when you say explode, you just mean it collects lots of data, right?
you can filter the display by right-clicking the headers.
player filtering options are:
"show offline" -- uncheck to only show players currently online "show strangers" -- uncheck to only show friends/guildmates

you can also filter by trade level, explicit profession, and age of link...
at some point (soon i hope) i'll add the ability to ignore or purge links by the same kind of system. in the meantime, you can hand delete items you don't want. drag-clicking (or shift clicking) will select multple entries -- delete/backspace to delete them.
