BuyDropper  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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.

Working on it and a few other request to the LDB plugin will be coming soon.

Hi there,

whenever BuyDropper needs to take items from more than one stack in my bank to refill something, it'll add just the items from the first stack to the respective stack in my bag. The items from the second one will go to an empty bag slot.

Quick example: Let's say I've set BuyDropper to always keep 20 Heavy Frostweave Bandages in my inventory. I've used six of them so now I've only got 14 left. In my bank there's a full 20-stack and another stack with just three bandages left. I would expect BuyDropper taking the remaining three bandages from one stack plus an additional three from the full 20-stack to refill my bags.

I would also expect that once I've visited the bank I'll have a full 20-stack in my bags. However, while BuyDropper does indeed empty the smaller stack and take three more bandages from the other one, those six bandages don't end up on the same stack in my inventory. If BuyDropper has to take the bandages from more than one stack, it'll put the bandages from the second stack into an empty bag slot.

Is this intended? And if it's not, is there a way to rework this mechanic so I don't end up with multiple stacks where I'd prefer a single one?

All the best!
This is the way the lib I use is setup to retrieve items from the bank, I already contacted the authur of the lib in question about fixes for just that.
Will get back to you guys when I know something.

Be nice to see the version number on the download names as well.

What settings do you have SexyMap on to show those icons constantly? I can't seem to find them. Thanks for the off topic answers!
