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.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

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.

I only update mods when they break or when I add new features... BuyDropper works fine with 2.1.

Had to get Ace2 !!!StandaloneLibraries and use the Ace updater to get it to work with 2.1 without error

What happened without Ace2 !!!StandaloneLibraries:
Date: 2007-06-04 22:51:37
ID: 51
Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ...AddOns\BuyDropper\Ace2\AceEvent-2.0\AceEvent-2.0.lua line 120:
attempt to index local 'AceEvent_registry' (a nil value)
Debug:
...nterface\AddOns\FuBar\libs\AceLibrary\AceLibrary.lua:33:
...nterface\AddOns\FuBar\libs\AceLibrary\AceLibrary.lua:31
...nterface\AddOns\FuBar\libs\AceLibrary\AceLibrary.lua:696: ?()
...face\AddOns\FuBar\libs\AceAddon-2.0\AceAddon-2.0.lua:1121: in main chunk

Just in case anyone else has this problem just get the Ace2 !!!StandaloneLibraries and WowAceUpdater and it will resolve the problem

Where to get:
Ace2 !!!StandaloneLibraries : http://files.wowace.com/
WowAceUpdater : http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=178751
"for those that didn't know about them or where to get them" (like me )

On a personal note: IMHO everyone should have this addon it saves time when restocking your items you use the most.

Hmm... I guess I have too many ace mods for that error to have shown up. Thanks for catching it. I'll try to have one with updated Ace libs up in the next day or two.

Just curious if you're still planning on integrating support for Bank items?

That would really rock hard core - some things I 'stockpile' in the bank rather than relying on access to vendors.

Planning, yes... Unfortunately, some other projects are taking up a lot of my spare time at the moment. I can't give any sort of reliable ETA as the next couple months are going to be a bit hectic.

In the meantime, you may want to try FreeRefills, the addon that inspired BuyDropper.

Ah, cool - I used to use FreeRefills but switched to BuyDropper because I like the interface better; not sure I realized FR did bank slots too.

Not sure I'll actually revert to it, but nice to know the options there. Thanks for the quick reply.

Every time I visit a vendor that has a couple Aquadynamic Fish Attractor lures, I want to buy them, up to a maximum stack of 20. However, if I set buydropper to 20, it doesn't buy any at all, since the vendor only has them in limited supply. If I set it to less (like 1 for instance) then it buys 1 and stops, not filling up the stack to 20.

I'd also like a 'silent' option, where it doesn't put anything in the chat window.

Thanks for the report. I'll see about getting a fix out shortly.

Good idea. Not sure if i'll be adding it right away but if it's simple enough i'll throw it in.

Sorry for the delayed response... holidays and all have kept me away from some of my... erm... less important activities. Once I wrap up the GUI on MacroSequence, I think I'll give BD a bit of love.

Congrats on MVP over on the WoW forums!

Oh and, I'm trying to be patient, but I'm typically more patient if I have an ETA. Do you know when you'll be getting to that little fix for the limited supply stuff?

Well, my power was out for the last 36 hours so i wouldn't have been able to warn you even if I wanted to

Unfortunately, it's been a really long time since I've looked at BD's code, so I don't really know how long it will take. I'll give it a look this afternoon.
