CurrencyTrackLDB

Version: 1.0

by: Scarikken [More]

CurrencyTrackLDB is a port of CurrencyTrackFu. It was time to move on from FuBar since it is apparently slated for death without plans for repair or resurrection. Initial functionality exists, such as displaying emblems and marks. When time permits I plan to add options to hide sections you do not wish to view, as the FuBar version had.

This mod is intended for the higher level player in WotLK. A basic Data Broker plug-in to track PvE and PvP currency such as emblems, cooking awards, honor points, arena points, marks of honor, etc.

Suggestions are welcome for improvements.

I have a couple of priests, but they are both bank alts, and as such don't need currency tracked (I have a gold addon for tracking money). I think if you're going to limit the tracking to toons on the same server (which is probably the easiest) that you should just switch your x and y axis, since you can only have a maximum of 10 toons on any server, that would make your tooltip never go wider than a certain size. Also, if you have options to not display certain emblems (for example, no need to display a total of "0" emblems of frost for a level 50 twink), then the tooltip can get even smaller. This is very similar to the addon I linked earlier, except for alt tracking. The tooltip get quite daunting until you remove the emblems you don't care about from the tooltip. I'll think on it some more, and let you know if I come up with something. __________________ There is absolutely no evidence to support the theory that life is serious.

I myself at one point had three priests on the same server. The formatting I had in mind was ( # represents the emblem icon ) Code: # # # # # Honor Avatar1 5 13 3 4 0 49887 Avatar2 4 1 4 5 0 44568 Avatar3 0 0 12 1 1 2536 ----------- Marks of honor AV - AB - Jewelcrafter - Cooking - (and so on) Currency icons (gold, silver, copper) have their own api, which is how they can get away with easily formatting them in-line. Current problems I face are displaying the icons all in one line. I can get them to display, but they so far only go one per line, and there seems to be a limit to how many I can put in. Which would be fine given the relatively low number of WotLK emblem types currently. Then the actual tracking of totals for all alts, which I have to figure out. The biggest obstacle though is all work is on hold until I can add more game time, so experimentation will have to wait a little bit. Alternatively.. I could just skip the whole icon format concept entirely and just use text. Code: Frost Triumph Conquest Valor Heroism Honor Avatar1 5 13 3 4 0 49887 Avatar2 4 1 4 5 0 44568 Avatar3 0 0 12 1 1 2536 But as you can imagine, that would make for a pretty huge tooltip eventually, which I was hoping to avoid. The feedback is greatly appreciated, it gives me different directions to approach a solution.

Curious, why would you need to display icons in the tooltip for this functionality? Why not something like this:

Emblems of Frost 12 (1/15/67)

Which is class colored, indicating that your druid has 1, your warlock has 15, and your hunter has 67, while not displaying toons that have a count of 0. Wouldn't this be easier to implement and code? Of course I'd want ClassColors support with this implementation...

I second this suggestion though.

Also, just in case you hate my idea, or have other plans for displaying icons in tooltips, have you looked at this addon Broker_Currency that displays icons in tooltips? (I THINK it does, I can't actually log onto my server so I can't doublecheck it.)

I mean I don't need to have an addon to display the in-game currencies frame, but I need to see how much my toons have. Your addon does this?
Or if not, is it plan to add this feature?

No it does not. At the moment I wouldn't know where to begin with that kind of feature. Especially without it turning into a giant tooltip with every alt's name and their amounts. I can always see what I can learn, but alt tracking.. can't make any promises there.
