ReverseEngineering

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

Reverse Engineering will drill down and search your tradeskills for their elements

Testamonials:

Quote:
It's just like Gnome Engineering! - Nixx Sprocketspring, Tanaris

It's just like Gobin Engineering! - Oglethorpe Obnoticus, Stranglethorn

Sometimes being an Engineer (or one of the other tradeskills) means you're fiddling with heaps upon heaps of separate little twiddly items before being able to build up your masterwork gadgetry. Reverse Engineering will turn you around on your head. Now you can work from a top down perspective. Simply open your Tradeskill panel up to the desired object, then click on the icon for any part that requires construction, and voila, you'll be scrolled directly to that item. Not only that, but there's a handy 'pop back' button that will pop you back up the stack to your previous location!

You'll be able to instantly see what parts are craftable by the cog indicator that will appear when you mouse over the item.

I still have to reincorporate Dridzt's changes, but it works for me so far.

For those who don't understand what this addon does it's quite simple.
Basically say you want to craft something big that needs allot of parts, like a good gun or a robot or something, its kinda annoying to scroll through all your schematics to find one part so this addon simply lets you click the picture of the component and it will take you straight there, for example on the nesingwary rifle it requirs 3 sun scope, instead of locating sun scopes in your engineering window simple click the image of a sun scope and it takes you there.

The description doesn't actually say anything, so I'm not sure what this does. I logged into WoW and went to my engineering panel, but it was no different than before. I typed /reverseengineering, but was told that wasn't a valid command.

In short, without some basic instructions this add-on doesn't seem to do, well, anything. Could you please update the description with more details on what it does and how to use it? Thanks.

occasionally when i open my engineering window for the first time after logging in, the item link will not work.. and i will have to switch to a different profession.. use a link there.. then go back to engineering.. and it will work.. and sometimes vice versa.. this seems to be the same for the 'go back' link

"Drill down and search your tradeskills for their elements" doesn't mean much to me. What does this do?

A quick fix is to edit 3 different lines:
line 96, 129, and 147.
where they say "self.Hooks[button:GetName()]["whichever"]()" -
just add button in the last ().

So line 96 would be:
"self.Hooks[button:GetName()]["OnClick"](button)"

do the same on 129& 147 and it seems to work.

[[since a lot of blizzards functions now want self as the first variable, passing button(the original self) through seems to fix it]]
