SellJunk

Somehow I missed that I was supposed to start a thread here for it. Eh, oh well. Here it is, comments about SellJunk are welcome.

I love this mod, very helpful and effective. However, I have a slight request.

I would love to have, upon speaking with a vendor and all the grey items being sold, that the amount of gold obtained from the mass selling is printed to chat.

That's a good idea. I'll definitely see what I can do to make it happen.

Hi,

I love SellJunk too. I'm also using Fubar_AuditorFu (which does NOT require Fubar) which shows money gained or spent when you leave a vendor.

I think SellJunk is almost perfect as is... A GUI to edit the exclusion list and options would be great, though (but no minimap button, please :p).

I know SellOMatic does something of this nature, though to be honest, I much prefer having an Ace mod working for me. I took a look at the SellOMatic code, to find out what prints to general chat the amount gained, but couldn't make heads or tails.

Please let us know if you get this working. I'll update immediately.

Thanks

Well, there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that I've found a relatively simple way to show how much you've made selling your "junk" at each session.

The bad news is that there is no way to get WoW to tell you that information, so it requires a dependency with a "database" of prices for items.

I'm not sure where to go with this. On one hand, it's a nifty feature to have. On the other hand, this is starting to resemble feature creep. SellJunk is supposed to be a tiny addon, not a do-it-all type thing.

So do I implement it or not? I'd like to get some more feedback from some of the people using it. Would having a dependency on one additional addon (ItemPrice-1.0) cause you to stop using SellJunk? Would having the amount of gold made display in chat make you more likely to use/keep using SellJunk?

Can't you do it be getting the amount of money the player has when opening the vendor window, then again when closing it, and take the difference of the two? Take a look at the ShowMeTheMoney tutorial in the Blizzard Interface Tuturial pack from the WoW site.

The mod "Sell O Matic" does exactly what your mod does, and it also prints to general chat the amount obtained by the selling of all items. I don't believe there is a database involved. However, since SellOMatic doesn't involve Ace, I'm sure this mod isn't as small and resource friendly as yours most likely is. I would prefer to use an Ace mod.

I would encourage you to download SellOMatic and stroll through the code. Sadly, I can't quite pinpoint what the author is doing, but it does look like he's tapping into some commands which might already be inherent to the LUA code.
