LilSparky's Workshop
LilSparky's Workshop adds auction-derived pricing information for trade skills right into the trade skill recipe frame. Each skill is evaluated for material costs and potential value of the item created. These two numbers are listed next to each skill in an easy-to-read format.
Supported Auction Scanners:
- Auctioneer
- AuctionLite
- AuctionMaster
- Auctionator
Optionally Requires:
- Informant (for vendor availability)
LibPeriodicTable (for vendor availability)
Trade Skill Interfaces Supported:
- GnomeWorks
- AdvancedTradeSkillWindow
- Skillet
- Blizzard's Standard UI
- Doublewide Tradeskills
- Tradeskill HD
Auction pricing models can be selected by right-clicking either the value column or the cost column (each can have a different pricing method attached).
The Value column can be left clicked to cycle through the different valuation methods for the resultant item: Auction Value (a), Vendor Value (v), Disenchant Value (d) or the greatest of the three different values (the default). Any instance of an item Value being greater than the Cost to create it will have a highlighted Value entry. Optionally, the Value column can be displayed as a percentage of the Cost column.
The Cost column simply sums up the costs for each reagent and reports the total.
Both columns can be combined into a single "Profit" column which simply reflects the Value minus the Cost.
Tooltips for each column give more details about the price breakdowns LSW is considering.
A note regarding vendor availability:
LSW utilizes supplied item databases to determine when an item is readily available from a vendor. Occasionally this may not be accurate, usually because the item is a trade in for another item and not buyable with gold. I have provided a simple way to over-ride the vendor database:
/script LSWConfig.vendorOverride[item#] = (true/false/nil)
The item# is the item ID for the specific item. It is a single number. For example, 2589 is Linen Cloth.
Setting the value to "true" means the item is available at the vendor.
Setting the value to "false" means the item is not available at the vendor.
Setting the value to "nil" means to use the provided databse.
There is now also a right-click option to override the vendor availability and also to hand enter specific prices for items.
A note about frame/auction support:
LSW utilizes a plug in scheme to handle support to handle pricing and frame support. I am unlikely to add additional plugins directly into LSW. The goal of the plugin system is to provide basic templates that other addon authors could employ to provide LSW support on their end while at the same time providing functionality for a base set of common mods. Addon authors are free to contact me regarding the plugin system if issues arise or the system doens't make sense.
Thanks,

things are fine for your tailor, but not your alchemist? odd. do those toons have first aid or cooking? try those. also, i'm assuming they're all the same faction since the ah data is faction specific.
but even without ah data, you should still get vendor data... what do the tooltips say about costs? are there question marks or 0's?
for item values, it will show the different values for auction, vendor and disenchant (if applicable).
for item costs, it will show the different reagents and their cost (and possibly sub-reagents for craftable reagents).
generally speaking, any value in lsw will have a letter designation after it:
a for auction
v for vendor
d for disenchant (again, if applicable)
you must scan the auction house if you haven't already done so to get auction data and even then there might be some recipes that lack information.
I posted a couple of weeks ago with regards to an issue with enchanting. In that when you were looking to see the number of enchants previously sold at the AH (i.e. through the enchanting of scrolls) it always displayed 0. I was wondering if you have had any progress with this at all?
ahaa... so the Cache deleteing is the issue... i recently got an addon _NPCScan and to get that addon react to same rare again it is needed to delete the cashe... and i have been deleting the whole cashe folder... but i am just deleting one creature file in there so it would fix the issue with _NPCScan and get LSW to work (i hope, havent seen any rares for days to actually test it)... Thank you :D *hugs*
Another poster mentioned using the number of items seen, which is a great idea, and I'm glad to hear you've already done it. You mentioned a problem with where to fit all the info. Using the alt button sounds good, or something like the guild list where you toggle all columns but the first between different sortable displays.
it occurred to me the other day that i could create a 2ndary interface pretty easily for people who want to dig deeper. this is what i'm working on right now. basically, it's more of a spread-sheet kind of thing with lots of different columns. it's unattached to the tradeskill frame, so it's more of an "offline" kind of examination of recipes/items. but since it's not part of the tradeskill frame, i'm free to use as much space as i need.
did you recently delete you local cache (or patch your game client)?
what tradeskill frame do you use? it's starting to sound like maybe your local cache is incomplete and lsw is trying to gather information about items that aren't available...
try turning off all your mods, then running the game and just open each tradeskill and browse around it for a few minutes to see if you can get all the data d/led to your client. then quit the game and reload with lsw to see how it reacts.
do this in a quiet part of the world (away from people and the network traffic they bring -- ie, dont do it in dalaran).
Strangely even with updated altoholic i still get the freez... sometimes right after LSW has finished the progressbar and in that case the game comes out of the freez after 1 min or so, then tried the same thing on a bigger tradeskill with over 200 recipes... freez right away so i could not get out of it anymore... Disabled Altoholic.. tried that big tradeskill again (leatherworking is the big tradeskill) progressbar ended and game wasnt freezing but then i noticed that not all recipes were showing... and as soon as all recipes came out... so came the freez... and again had to restart computer to get out of it... only other thing i notices was Skinner saying that it did not found a skin for LSW but that don't usually freez game on other addons. i have over 80 addons... and usually LSW has been working nicely... but then the freezes started after i installed altoholic and my friend was also saying that he did not get my shared tradeskills (he got only cooking and firsr aid no big tradeskills) on his altoholic although i did get his.. and now it seems that even with disabling altoholic i still cant get rid of the freezing and as soon as i disabled LSW my friend did get my tradeskills on his altoholic... Thank you so much for looking into it!
ah... altoholic. i think altoholic has a tendency to trigger tradeskill updates which lsw will respond to. try running without altoholic to see if that's really the issue. if it is, try updating altoholic to the latest version. let me know how it works and i'll see what can be done to fix it.
I am using auctioneer and yes in some cases it does show the progress bar and then the bar just gets stuck at one point or like in ATSW case went into loop or something... going over and over again from the start to finish and yes i did try with limited tradeskills also and in some cases there wasnt any problem but other times it froze there too and the more recipes the tradeskill has the more likely it is that it freezes totally. Is it possible that LSW dont like altoholic addon or some other addon from a long list...
