Ludwig  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 8.0.0
by: jaliborc, Tuller

Ludwig has moved to CurseForge!

Ludwig is an item link database addon that was originally based on GetLink. Ludwig is not dependent on saved variables, and Ludwig does not require the user to do anything special in order to collect data.

Features:

  • Search Window - You can filter via name, quality, level, type, subtype, and equip location.
  • Linkerator support - Typing an item name in [[brackets] will automatically convert the name into an item link if the item is known to Ludwig.
  • Command line searching - typing /lw <name> will bring up a list of the top 10 matches in the chat window.

Commands:
  • /lw or /ludwig - Brings up the search frame
  • /lw <name> - Prints out a list in the chat window of the top 10 items matching <name>
  • /lw --r: Refreshes the database
  • /lw --q <itemID>: Queries the server for the given itemID

I normally do direct git pulls or download the gzips from Github .

Yes, build 110f9ae9715e23a26684 fixes the problem completely so far. Any item linked into any chat, it does so properly with no errors.

v1.8.5 doesn't seem to be fixed for the chat-link changes in WoW 3.3.5 live (USEnglish client/server).

Try to link any item out of the Ludwig frame into chat (whisper, guild), it doesn't happen and a variation of the following error occurs:

Code:
["message"] = "Ludwig-1.8.5\\ui.lua:100: attempt to index global 'ChatFrameEditBox' (a nil value)\n<string>:\"*:OnClick\":1: in function <[string \"*:OnClick\"]:1>\n\nLocals:|r\nself = LudwigFrame1 {\n 0 = <userdata>\n UpdateTooltip = <function> defined @Interface\\AddOns\\Ludwig\\ui.lua:108\n icon = LudwigFrame1Icon {\n }\n}\nbutton = \"LeftButton\"\ndown = false\n\n  ---",
            ["type"] = "error",
            ["session"] = 145,
            ["counter"] = 2,
        }, -- [90]
The frame & icon numbers in the error change depending on the item you are trying to link.

Quick question, does this 3.3.5 version still work fine with 3.3.3? (or should, from the code changes you made)
Just asking since EU will have to play with the latter version for another week

I was finally able to fix it. Apparently adding an authenticator fixed my inability to log onto the PTR

Ludwig pulls item information solely by using the built in GetItemInfo function. More or less, it brute forces its way through all of the items your client has "seen" These could be items that were linked in chat, items the game has rendered off in the distance somewhere, whatever :P

Since I'm not doing anything terribly special, Ludwig really does not break between patches. If anything the only time I truly need to update the addon is when Blizzard issues in an update that adds a large amount of new items (ie, an expansion).

Edit: I don't understand how, but it seems that it has the latest items from ICC. Therefore, I don't think this addon relies on an offline DB. It doesn't make sense. Anyway, I'm happy to have it working.


Why is it that says "Works with 3.3" and the date is so old. Obviously, if it is an offline DataBase, then it would be supposed to be updated every content patch of the game, right?

Am I mistaken? Is this great addon dead?

How should the code be modified (or used), to retrieve the item link using only the id?
I'd like to use it in script like that:
/run local a=FunctionToGetTheInfo(44444); print(a);
And print(a) should print the link to Dark Nerubian Chestpiece.
Seems to be simple to do, but I think it's still missing something.

Also where is this data stored? WTF, server-side or anything else?
The data is stored in <WoW Directory>\WDB\<Locale>\itemcache.wdb
