Automaton  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.3.5
by: wobbles [More]

Automaton is a lazy man's best friend. Automaton's mission is to automate as many small interface annoyances as possible, to unlock your true laziness. Use /auto or /automaton to enable or disable any of the included functionality:

  • Filter - Always default to showing only available spells and skill at trainers
  • Gossip - Navigates gossip and quest text for you.
  • Group - Automatically accepts group invites from anyone in your guild or friends list.
  • Loner - Decline guild invites.
  • Mailer - Saves the Send To field of your mail, and Alt + Right Click an item in your inventory to mail that item.
  • Queue - Joins battlegrounds queues automatically, can also join after a delay by using /auto queue delay.
  • Plates - Show Target Plates (default is V button) when in combat, and hide when not in combat.
  • Repair - Repairs all items any time you're at a vendor.
  • Sell - Sell all gray items when interacting with vendor.
  • Summon - Accepts summons automatically.
  • Release - Release to ghost in battlegrounds.
  • Rez - Automatically accepts resurrection requests you receive.
  • Wuss - Supress duel invitations by declining them, like the wuss you are.

Mini-changelog:
1.3.5:
- is actually newer than 1.4.0 r9, which is quite stupid I know. This is an interim version that has changes merged in from the wowace repository, but is missing a few features I had in 1.4.0 r9. However, it works with 3.0!
1.4.0 r9:
- removed several modules which are no longer necessary, as the Blizzard UI now does them
- update the battleground queue delay to 60 seconds, since the time limit was reduced from 120 seconds to 80 seconds to enter a battleground with 2.4.3
- update toc to 20400
1.2.4 r26163:
- Fix a library issue with AceHook that prevented addon from loading
1.2.4:
- Bump toc to 20003
- Remove specialevents dependency
- Dimsount now uses new API; no longer should cause errors
- Unshapeshift only registers taxi event if druid or shaman
- Default to off function added to core
- Wuss, Ding, and Loner default to off
- Fix bug in Queue that would not reset a delayed battleground join timer if leaving a queue and rejoining
- Add option to queue to automatically join the battlefield queue
- Add a Mailer module to simplify mailing. Saves the Send To field and alt + right click an item with the mailbox open to send that item.
1.2.2:
- Added several modules: AutoLootBOP, AutoStand, AutoSummon
- fixed a bug in AutoDismount that prevented dismounting when the player had debuffs
- added shaman and priests to Unshapeshift
- AutoQueue will now always use the delay feature if the player is inside a battleground
- New delay options for AutoGroup and AutoRez
- AutoRepair will now instruct the player to go farm if they cannot afford the repair cost. Damn newbies.
1.2.0 r19309: Uploaded .zip again, some libraries seemed to be missing.
1.2.0: Removed AutoTrade, no longer compatable with 2.0. Added a couple new modules.
1.1.1: Fixed issues with options tables which caused DeuceCommander to be unhappy.
1.1.0: Modularized, added a host of new features.

Enjoy!

Can't set Hearth

Love the mod. I have one problem though.

When I'm at an innkeeper, automaton automatically goes to the buy/sell ui when I talk to one.

It keeps me from being able to set a new area as a home.

Was curious if this was a part of the auto sell or auto repair option, or if it was just a bug.

Thanks!

Disable it for now, from what I can tell so far it's not really useful anymore anyway and unless I can find that one special case where it could still be useful it's just going to be gone in the next release.

I want to have the useless gossips being skipped but don't want that quest-items are automatically being turned in.
And it would be cool if there would be an option to go to an turn-in-quest-giver and talk to him, see what he want's (without auto-turn-in even if shift isn't pressed) and than have a button to say "turn-in everything I have" for that quest.
This is something I've been meaning to work on but it's pretty tricky to split them apart with the current implementation, especially in cases where they need to play nice when deciding which should take precedence.

Gxam and I have been talking about rewriting the module, if we do this is certainly something we'll take into consideration.

Just wanted to say thanks for updating this. I've used it pretty much since it was first made and think it's just great.

Didn't realize how much it did for me until the latest patch when I had to disable it for a few days, guess I almost can't play without it.

1.3.5

The 1.3.5 version number is lower than the previous one (1.4.0 r9), but it's actually a newer version and is working with 3.0.

The wowace version had forked off a bit from my own version, and I'm working on getting them merged back together. So 1.3.5 is missing a few things I had added with 1.4.0, which is the reasoning behind the lower version number.

Long story short: the new one works with 3.0 so if you've been missing Automaton since the patch, enjoy!

No, still haven't abandoned it...

It's been a long time. Took a long break from wow, but have been playing again in recent months. Been meaning to do some updates for Automaton, wasn't sure that anyone still used it

I would like to note that presently I haven't merged changes made to the wowace version, so it's going to be different than the one I've just uploaded here. For now, this is the "official" version.

Hushnowxx: Rez disables itself automatically. Not the most elegant way to solve the problem I was having, but you can turn on the "persist" option to keep it from turning itself off if that's what you prefer.

I have 1 problem with this addon, the auto rez feature turns off every 1st auto rez so I have to enable it after each auto rez. Anyone experiencing the same problem?
