GemHelper v1.0

GemHelper

GemHelper v1.8.1
14 February 2009
(Written for Live Servers v3.0.9.9551)
(r85 on wowace)

Search, filter and craft gems in the game!

For non-Jewelcrafters, GemHelper serves as a encyclopedia for gems much like what AtlasLoot Enhanced is for instance and reputation loot. With many search filters for the exact gem colours, stats and materials, users can quickly find the best gem to socket into their new equipment without having to harass a Jewelcrafter or check a website about what gems are available.

For Jewelcrafters, GemHelper goes a step further and allows users to craft gems directly from the GemHelper UI with extra options such as 'Have Materials' that Enchanters currently have. Jewelcrafters are also able to replace the default Blizzard Jewelcrafting UI.

The gem tooltips will list the materials needed to craft it or the location where the gem can be found/purchased. Currently, the database contains 485 gems. All gems should be (more or less) safe to query the server for (the link) because if someone has the gem on the server (in inventory, bank or socketted in gear) and has logged on since the last server reboot, it will be safe to query.

To use GemHelper, type /gh or /gemhelper ingame. If you are a Jewelcrafter, you open the GemHelper window by pressing the Jewelcrafting button on your actionbar or spellbook.

This addon can be used along with CraftList2, ATSW, Skillet.

Quirks:
If you open the GemHelper window via the slash command (/gh or /gemhelper), you will not be able to craft gems from it. You must open the GemHelper window via the Jewelcrafting button on your actionbars/spellbook. This is NOT a bug and is a limitation of the WoW game engine.

What I need:
Localization needed for Spanish. GemHelper will currently work for English, French, German, Taiwan, Chinese and Korean clients.

Beta Testers: Astrae, Karenwise, Grum
And many thanks to my guild members for helping with gems!

Hevanus A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 15 File comments: 209 Uploads: 0	Whenever I open GemHelper v1.6, I start getting the following error over and over in an infinite loop: [2008/04/04 20:10:32-2677-x42]: Usage: ChatFrameEditBox:SetText("text"): <in C code>: ? <in C code>: in function `SetText' Interface\FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua:2543: in function `ChatEdit_OnUpdate': <string>:":OnUpdate":1: in function <[string ":OnUpdate"]:1> --- For reference, I'm opening it via /gh on a non-JC toon. I also disabled the Skinner skin in case that was the problem. The error keeps happening even after I close GemHelper. It stops if I enable all the checkboxes in the lower-right and disable all 3 filter categories, then close and re-open the GemHelper frame. Last edited by Hevanus : 04-04-2008 at 11:19 PM.

Xinhuan A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 11 File comments: 136 Uploads: 11	Just because the addon is not Ace2 doesn't mean it is not efficient. In fact, I'll say it uses slightly less memory because it doesn't use Ace2. It is a deliberate decision not to use Ace2 because Ace2 libraries are horribly bloated. Many addon authors such as Cladhaire (author of Clique, PerfectRaid and a few others) and Tekkub have moved their addons away from Ace2. That being said, I have written other addons that use parts of Ace2, such as WoWEquip, an in-game CTProfiles-like addon, currently only available on http://files.wowace.com and still in beta status. Anyway, you can update GemHelper via WowAceUpdater now just like any other Ace addon. Last edited by Xinhuan : 10-09-2007 at 08:57 PM.

Xinhuan A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 11 File comments: 136 Uploads: 11	GemHelper 1.31 uploaded. Fixed some French localization issues, as well as made some other changes to use less memory and CPU time. Basically, GemHelper will no longer do anything at all unless it is shown on screen. If you use AddonLoader, GemHelper will now only load when you attempt to open a tradeskill window. From the user's point of view, nothing should have changed at all in terms of addon functionality. Please report any bugs here.
