ImprovedMerchant

Version: 3.6x5

by: Macniel [More]

Warning
if you depend on item scaling and spacing between items do not upgrade and use version 3.6a instead, this update is not necessary if the previous version (3.6a) is working fine on your computer.

Installation

You install this AddOn like any other, just unpack the downloaded zip into your /Interface/AddOns folder.

Summary
Hello and welcome back to another helpful AddOn which will improves your daily shopping-adventures with merchants.

Okay what did this AddOn do to your merchantframe ? It replaces the paged item display with a scrollable and more informative list which can also be filtered by available item types. It use the same purchase protection like the default merchantframe when buying an item which requires honor-,arena-points or specific items.

Features

Filter: you can filter items from a vendor out. You can setup a filter to show only trainable, usable, purchasable items or just items from a specific type (or subtype)
Searchcraft: you can search item descriptions for certain a or multiple (seperated by an colon ;) keywords and filter those out which does not include your keywords
Scrollable List: you can now scroll through the merchant shop instead of the paged view
Autorepair: as a request you can now check a button on a merchant frame to enable autorepair.

Credits
Thanks again to Dridzt who have uploaded a fixed version here http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info12206.html while I was not available. Thanks and kudos to you!

VagrantEsha Token Werewolf Fan Forum posts: 27 File comments: 238 Uploads: 38	ImprovedMerchant does indeed now work perfectly with Coins2Txt, thank you for that! I really did want to use this mod, but the MoneyFrame issue made it inaccessible, but now that that's out of the way I can properly enjoy it! This is in my guild's list o' mods! I did have one other small issue, but you seemed to have countered that, too! I actually wasn't going to mention it because it's so minor and cosmetic, but the dropdown and the searchbox at the top did overlap for those who use ClearFont2 to increase their font size. That's not the case anymore, so thanks for that fix too! There's one last thing... I did encounter an error about comparing number with nil on line 367. I fixed it by changing: if self.money and self.pirce > 0 then to: if self.money and (self.price or 0) > 0 then This worked (the if assumes the compare value is 0 if self.price doesn't exist, thus avoiding the nil issue), so I thought I'd share. Nonetheless, thank you for a great mod, this has really become one of the essential ones. Blizzard should really make their vendors like this. Last edited by VagrantEsha : 07-23-08 at 03:22 PM.

error

seeing this error:

Code:

ImprovedMerchant-159e\\ImprovedMerchant.lua:367: attempt to compare number with nil\nImprovedMerchant-159e\\ImprovedMerchant.lua:409: in function `CreateMerchantItem'\nImprovedMerchant-159e\\ImprovedMerchant.lua:472: in function `PopulateMerchantList'\nImprovedMerchant-159e\\ImprovedMerchant.lua:509: in function `RefreshItems'\nImprovedMerchant-159e\\ImprovedMerchant.lua:549: in function <...terface\\AddOns\\ImprovedMerchant\\ImprovedMerchant.lua:522>\n\n  ---

happening when i check the merchants in thunder bluff. the merchant window appears empty with no items in it.

also the latest version listed is 1.59f, but when i download it, it's 1.59e. i'm assuming that's just because the .toc has not been updated?

pquayle A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	feature request I have other mods that color the recipes that can be purchased based on whether or not I or one of my alts has learned it. Would it be possible to pass that on? I'm afraid this might this be an impossible request because the scope of this project doesn't cover professions or because these other mods are looking for a specific frame for coloring. What do you think?

Unfortunately I don't have the patience to help test this thing, but once it's working nice and smoothly it will be on my "must have" list. Nice work, Macniel, and thank you for expending the effort on this!

Jzar A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 158 File comments: 281 Uploads: 5	I would just like to take this opportunity to say lol @ Twiztiddad. If you give the same amount of effort to understanding and helping to improve other addons you gave to ImprovedMerchant, it's no wonder that you keep having to "sadly disable yet another innovative add-on." First of all, did you try filing a bug report, just on the off chance that the developer might actually fix it? You should try it sometime. It tends to help everyone by making the author aware of a flaw, thus improving the product for all. Secondly, all it would take would be a tiny glance through the comments posted for this file to notice that it hasn't even been a week since the very original posting of this addon. This thing is already pretty darn mature for being one freaking week old. The author is extremely modest when he says "under heavy development". He has been unfailingly quick in his responses to the users of this mod, and his activity here is nothing short of miraculous. Not only does he respond to them, but he's making modifications to the UI, making it compatible with other conflicting mods, and patching bugs with scarcely a hint of balking at any request. Considering a developer like this, if you can't even bother to get the most updated addon or check the comments to see if your bug's already been reported or patched, then you most heartily deserve to miss-out on all the best and most-innovative addons.
