Gnomish Yellow Pages

Version: r48beta

by: lilsparky [More]

The Gnomish Yellow Pages will monitor all chat traffic to identify people advertising trade skills. As trade skill ads are identified, they are recorded and stored for later retrieval.

type:
/gyp

to bring up a window with all information in an easy to read table.

strangers names appear in white
guildmates are displayed in green
friends are displayed in yellow

anybody in your local zone is shown in cyan

all offline players are red

the row of trade skill buttons will access the entire database of trade recipes so you can search for whatever recipe you wish. click to open whatever trade skill browser you use.

when browsing a trade skill, selecting a recipe will cause gyp to update the trade link color to light blue if that recipe is contained in that link. also any searches in the trade skill browser will be reflected in the gyp link color -- links that contain none of the recipes returned by the search will be dark yellow; normal yellow links indicate that at least one of the recipes in the browser window matches the trade link.

yeah, that's the plan eventually. right now, you can filter your display and you can manually delete entries (ctrl-x) so it's not been a high priority for me.

thanks. i think my pattern matching might fail for the accented characters.

I have one question for you lilsparky: can this addon get users banned ? I ask that because in the Terms of Agreement etc of WoW they say that any third party application or addon that mines the data from the game for any exploitation is forbidden. So since this addon "scans" the chat window etc I was wondering if it could be dangerous to use it. Have you talked about it with Blizzard ?

my understanding is that in-game addons aren't really something you can get banned for. if blizzard didn't want you to do something, they wouldn't let you do it. and if you DID manage to do something they didn't like, they'd figure out a way to stop you rather than just out-right ban you (like how they made the movement functions protected so nobody can actually use them anymore).

if they don't have a problem with auctionhouse scanners, i can't imagine they'd have a problem with a chat scanner.

Just turn off strangers when rightklicking 'players'.

But yeah LDB would be nice.

I'd want to have friends and guildies listed, not random chat ones...Is there a possibility to turn that paticular feature off? :/ Also, LDB Broker support? __________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words to Remember: "You never really learn much from hearing yourself talk." ~ George Clooney ۝Jeania/Anjelie ~ Dalaran۝ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

yeah, it's kind of annoying that blizz has gone patch-happy lately. the next release will update the links automatically so no more wipes.

yeah, it's capturing the keyboard. i'm going to change it, tho. the only reason i'm capturing the keyboard is to allow you to hit delete/backspace to delete the currently selecting entries. i'm going to change that to ctrl-x. that way, i can monitor ctrl and then only capture the keyboard when ctrl is held.
