ImprovedMerchant   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
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

It has problems with addons that make the windows movable like NDragIt.

When moving the window, the last sold item slot does not follow the window.

I really like the look of this, but... one request if I may?

I have sight problems, so the default Blizzard handling of money isn't for me. I actually wrote a mod, named Coins2Txt (it's up here on WoWI) which makes the MoneyFrame more clear and readable to me. The only problem I have with ImprovedMerchant is that it doesn't seem to use the default MoneyFrame, and due to that Coins2Txt won't work with it.

I understand that you might hve your own reasons for implementing your own MoneyFrame, so if using the default MoneyFrame is impossible then I have a feature request: Could the mod itself support different money displays (such as 1g 1s 1c and 1 1 1, similar to Coins2Txt)? I understand that you might not want to put that in your mod either, and if you don't, that's perfectly okay.

I definitly like the idea of ImprovedMerchant!

The only thing I do not really like is the scaling down of the item-icons. In a high resolution environment they become hard to recognize sometimes. These icons are scaled down, aren't they?

Would it be possible to arrange the merchantitems in a way where you have the originally sized icon on the left? This of course would make less items visible at a time, but it would be a little more pleasing at least for my eye!

This appearance should be choosable by option of course for all others, who like the current appearance more! ;-)

Thank you for this fine addon!

Re: last item sold not showing correctly in frame?

@ SShadow1974

this issue was fixed in the latest Version

@ SmuvMoney

This is very strange because the name and price are shown and are never hid, you can look at the latest screenshot. but you can also supply a screenshot of your issue with the current version

@ Sepioth

damn, there was a thing that i missed sorry for the incident - is now fixed.

last item sold not showing correctly in frame?

When I sell something to a merchant with ImprovedMerchant, you can see the icon for the item sold in bht bottom right corner, but you do not see the name of the item or the current price in the Merchant tab. If I look in the Buyback tab, it has clearly been sold and can be rebought without issue. I believe it can be brought back in the Merchant tab as well. However, my report is about the display issue.

What about merchants that only carry a limited amount of a particular item. In the default window ir has a (1) showing there are only 1 available for purchase ... is there a way to add this to your addon?

I think MerchantFrame head area you can refer to ProfessionLinks's design.
I feel he's CreateFrame code better than you.
