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.

This is very very odd. Could you provide Lua Error Messages?

Mine is not working either. I get no error messages, but I cannot click on anything in your list. Everything appears to be working, except actually being able to purchase an item from the vendor. The tooltips don't even show up with my mouse hovering over...

Phanx Cat. Forum posts: 5617 File comments: 2321 Uploads: 54	Firstly, I just wanted to say that I use BuyEmAll and ImprovedMerchant together and have no issues. Secondly, I've noticed that ImprovedMerchant frequently leaves blank spaces where items should be upon opening the merchant frame. The items usually appear if I mouse over the empty space, or scroll the window. I am using all default settings, and have no other addons that modify the merchant frame. No errors are generated. Any thoughts on why this occurs? Last edited by Phanx : 10-07-08 at 09:33 PM.

Veyska A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 56 Uploads: 0	Haven't dug back through the older comments or cross-checked on other merchants, but the prices on the Crystal Healing/Mana Potions on the Ogri'la vendors have their coin price and shard price on top of each other. Graphically looks like they only cost 50 shards and the "50" just happens to be a bit glitchy around the edges. Presumably due to it costing two different types of currency? I don't PVP so I'm not sure whether this would affect stuff like the PVP potions that cost an honor point and ~10s or not, nor if there are any other similar dual-currency items. This does not affect actually buying the items, just the price display. And I've also not had any issues with BuyEmAll and ImprovedMerchant, on an aside. :-)

I didn't see this marked as wotlk ready, so I posted a patch for the WotLK beta
under 'Optional Patches', that fixes known issues.

The file can be found here [patch] ImprovedMerchant(WotLK)

Changes:
- add default English strings to missing locales.
(localization is still needed for some locales but it should prevent errors)

Changes:
- fix buyback tab not working.
- update a few function signatures to wow 3.0.2 standards.
- future proof the addon a bit (this -> self etc).

Author can remove it along with the beta when the main file here is updated.
Thanks again for a very nice addon

Dridzt A Pyroguard Emberseer Forum posts: 1360 File comments: 830 Uploads: 56	I'm seeing a problem that I'm not sure how to reliably reproduce. No lua errors but the following behavior is exhibited occasionally: 1. vendor items are unclickable (like they are at a lower strata than the merchant frame.) 2. vendor items beyond the 8th row do not display their tooltip on mouseover AND are unclickable as in #1. #2 is observed usually in the emblem quartermasters in Dalaran as well as the Armor/Weapon etc token merchants in the same city. #1 can happen for any merchant. A reloadui usually fixes it. Last edited by Dridzt : 12-13-08 at 05:03 PM.

khariv A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 71 Uploads: 0	There appears to be a problem with ImprovedMerchant and the new Honor/Arena Point vendors. For gear which costs honor AND arena points on these merchants, the items show up, but you cannot see the prices. Any suggestions?

Bugfixes: - merchant items sometimes being unclickable/not showing tooltips. - mixed currency items (both honor + arena) not showing prices. Last edited by Dridzt : 01-14-09 at 08:07 PM.
