BuyDropper

Version: 1.5b

by: ellira, Myster

Hi! I talked with Cogwheel, and got the development of the Buydropper project transferred over. I plan to start working on updating it over the next few weeks so, if anyone has any features requests/bug reports, please contact me via PM or comments on this addon. I'll update this page with the plans and roadmap I have for Buydropper shortly, when I 've had the time to play around with it a bit.

BuyDropper

By Cogwheel — v0.9B5
Inspired by FreeRefills by Kyahx

BuyDropper keeps a list of items to purchase automatically from vendors.

Please visit Cogwheel’s Workshop for updates, bug reports, feature requests, etc.

Guide

Managing your list

Adding items

The first thing you’ll want to do is add an item to BuyDropper’s tracking list. This can be done in two easy ways. By default, every vendor window has a dropper in the upper right and there is also a dropper on BuyDropper’s options window. Simply drag and drop an item onto one of these droppers and a window will appear where you can enter the amount you want to track. When you click Accept or press Enter, BuyDropper will print a message showing the item and quantity added to the list.

The other way to add items is the /buydropper add command. This duality of GUI/slash commands is seen throughout BuyDropper’s operations. For the rest of the guide, I will focus on the GUI aspects. You can use the Reference below to discover how to use the various commands.

[TODO: Rest of the documentation. For now, take a look at /buydropper options and the Reference below]

Reference

These are all the slash commands available from BuyDropper. Typing /buydropper (or /bd) will show this list of commands. Sub-commands are displayed when you enter the main command with no options. E.g. /buydropper vendor will display all the sub-commands of vendor.

addstack

Usage: /buydropper addstack <item link> <number of stacks>

Adds an item to the bottom of your tracking list or changes the amount of an item you are already tracking.

add

Usage: /buydropper add <item link> <amount>

Adds an item to the bottom of your tracking list or changes the amount of an item you are already tracking.

To use this command, type /buydropper add with a space after it. Now shift-click any item at a vendor, in your backpack, on your character, etc. Add another space, and type in the amount of the item you want to track.

list

Usage: /buydropper list

Lists the items you are currently tracking in order of descending priority.

del

Usage: /buydropper del <item link>

Removes the item at the specified priority from your tracking list.

resetall

Usage: /buydropper resetall

Clears all items from your list. A confirmation will appear to make sure you mean it.

On my level 70 shaman, I told it to buy 10 Ankhs, but it never purchases them. Buy from Vendors and Confirm Purchase are both enabled. No errors or anything. I'm quite stumped.

Zidomo A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 76 File comments: 1046 Uploads: 0	Yes, same here, it doesn't buy anything at vendors once you have something set to buy. v0.9B4, WoW 3.0.3 live, USEng client/server. Add something to its list (i.e. 40 Sacred Candles). Go to a reagent vendor and open his window. Nothing happens. Took a look at today's log notes for the updated FreeRefills (r79), which could be a reason BuyDropper is currently dead: Solves problems with itemlink format changes as of 3.0 - as soon as you ding, your new links no longer match the old ones, leading to "del" operations failing, and "add" operations adding multiple entries of the same item rather than changing old ones. I have leveled, but after the problem first appeared, I deleted BuyDropper's old saved variables and started over. Same issue, it doesn't buy anything. Hope to see this back working soon.

For everyone experiencing problems, please go a head and use B3 until i'm able to solve the problem. I don't have any ETA right now because I can't really spend much time working on my addons until next week. Sorry for the trouble.

I have narrowed down this problem to the function starting on line 189 in BuyDropperEngine.lua:

Code:

<local toBuy = item.amount - CogsBagSpace:GetBagItemCount(item.id)
>local toBuy = min(item.amount - CogsBagSpace:GetBagItemCount(item.id), item.available)

I don't think that does what you think it does cogwheel.

Here is what does what you want:

Code:

function BuyDropper:NumToBuy(item)
    if item.available ~= -1 then
	   --Item count is not -1, which means it's limited quantity. Determine available quantity and how much we want to buy.
	   local toBuy = min(item.amount - CogsBagSpace:GetBagItemCount(item.id), item.available)
	   if item.preset > 1 then
		  toBuy = (self.db.profile.overstock and ceil or floor)(toBuy/item.preset)
	   end
	return toBuy
	else
	   --Item count is -1, which means infinite quantity. Get amount we want and get out of here.
	   local toBuy = item.amount - CogsBagSpace:GetBagItemCount(item.id)
	   if item.preset > 1 then
		  toBuy = (self.db.profile.overstock and ceil or floor)(toBuy/item.preset)
	   end

	return toBuy
	end
end

For anyone wanting to use the latest buydropper version, simply replace the function starting on line 189 with the one I just posted, and it should work.

I applied the fix, BuyDropper works again. Thanks god... I hated trying to remember to pick up all my stuff. I was always forgetting that it wasn't working...

I don't think that does what you think it does cogwheel.

Here is what does what you want:

Code:

Get amount we want and get out of here. local toBuy = item.amount - CogsBagSpace:GetBagItemCount(item.id) if item.preset > 1 then toBuy = (self.db.profile.overstock and ceil or floor)(toBuy/item.preset) end return toBuy end end

Applied this patch to the currently available v0.9B4. As others have mentioned, it fixes the mod so it works properly without errors...yay.

But a shame WowInterface decided to delete the archived versions of many mods (including this one). The earlier v0.9b3 that used to be available to download also worked without issues.

So I can't direct guild members here anymore to download/use the mod

.
I have to suggest a different restocking mod to them instead (StealYourCarbon is my second preference behind BuyDropper). Which is a shame; BuyDropper offers features not available in any other restocking mod and it doesn't suck up CPU/memory resources unlike a lot of them.

So hope Cogwheel returns and updates BuyDropper soon
