LilSparky's Workshop

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

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.

Posted this on Skillet:

There is still a problem with the latest version. It almost freezes the game every time you open the profession frame or switch between professions when it is open. It is especially bad with professions with a lot of recipes like LW and JC. I have a feeling it has something to do with the ReagentLink workaround. Having Lil Sparkys Workshop also installed makes the problem even worse.

Seems like a re-factor of the code is in order since the Blizzard UI opens instantly. There shouldn't be such a huge penaltly to use Skillet/LSW. They are invaluable but almost unusable in their current state.

Hopefully the authors or new coders can get if fixed.

@Karthus

In regards: Change one line in UpdateRecipeCache() to point to the new function

What line did you change?

Like this?

if skillType = "header" then local itemLink = FixedGetTradeSkillItemLink(i)

Blatantly stole this from Skillet.

Add this function above UpdateRecipeCache()

local function FixedGetTradeSkillReagentItemLink(i,j) local tooltip = CreateFrame("GameTooltip", "LilSparkyDataScanTooltip", UIParent, "GameTooltipTemplate") tooltip:SetOwner(UIParent, "ANCHOR_NONE") tooltip:ClearLines() tooltip:SetTradeSkillItem(i,j) local _, reagentLink = tooltip:GetItem() return reagentLink end

Change one line in UpdateRecipeCache() to point to the new function.

scrollIDs.lua

insert at end:
[104404] = 74713, -- Enchant Cloak - Superior Critical Strike (333)
[104338] = 74700, -- Enchant Bracer - Mastery (334)

Fixes bug where those enchants would not be able to be used for log of pricing and sales.

So can we assume that LSW is officially dead? Current version is outdated and the outdated one is actually an alpha not to mention there has been very little activity lately. It's a shame because LSW is one of the most helpful addons out there along with Auctioneer. :(
