Ludwig

Version: 8.0.0

by: jaliborc, Tuller

Ludwig has moved to CurseForge!

Ludwig is an item link database addon that was originally based on GetLink. Ludwig is not dependent on saved variables, and Ludwig does not require the user to do anything special in order to collect data.

Features:

Search Window - You can filter via name, quality, level, type, subtype, and equip location.
Linkerator support - Typing an item name in [[brackets] will automatically convert the name into an item link if the item is known to Ludwig.
Command line searching - typing /lw <name> will bring up a list of the top 10 matches in the chat window.

Commands:

/lw or /ludwig - Brings up the search frame
/lw <name> - Prints out a list in the chat window of the top 10 items matching <name>
/lw --r: Refreshes the database
/lw --q <itemID>: Queries the server for the given itemID

The cursor just stays in the search box. 2) When you do a search either by the search frame or just by typing a name in brackets, there's a 3mb increase in memory usage. Now that's normal considering that it has to load the cached itemlinks and search through them for the one called. But shouldn't the data it retrieved be thrown to the garbage collection if the search is complete ? ti will have those 3mb loaded untill the next reloadui. 3)why is the sellvalues module produces that much memory usage? I used the .lua file, Sariash provided (thanks btw, Sariash it made my switch from kci much more easier!), which has 6.9k item prices listed and warmup reports arround 1.7mb memory usage while the .lua file itself is just 133kb. I'm a complete coding noob so if that's intented just ignore me :P Last edited by Arbiter : 10-22-06 at 05:29 PM.

I have a feeling that I've set autofocus to be on or something. It'll be fixed eventuallyish

When you do a search either by the search frame or just by typing a name in brackets, there's a 3mb increase in memory usage. Now that's normal considering that it has to load the cached itemlinks and search through them for the one called. But shouldn't the data it retrieved be thrown to the garbage collection if the search is complete ? ti will have those 3mb loaded untill the next reloadui.

When you first do a search, Ludwig builds up a database from the cache. This data is saved so that it does not need to be recreated on every search, which speeds up the any following searches by quite a bit. I probably still need to do more optimization

why is the sellvalues module produces that much memory usage? I used the .lua file, Sariash provided (thanks btw, Sariash it made my switch from kci much more easier!), which has 6.9k item prices listed and warmup reports arround 1.7mb memory usage while the .lua file itself is just 133kb. I'm a complete coding noob so if that's intented just ignore me :P

I'd compare it by something other than the warmup numbers, like by memory used with the addon off, then with it on.

Arbiter A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	Thanks for the reply. You're 100% right about warmup and sell values. I tested ludwig / ludwig sellvalues on a dummy char, while warmup still reported 1.7mb load, fubar_performance, was only reporting an actual 400kb of difference (assuming that force garbage collection had occured at start, to delete the unsused instances of ace2 libs). Silly warmup! sorry for bringing this up tuller And about the database building, is that really needed to be kept loaded? i mean the difference between a search with a database already created and a no-database search, is only 0.2sec. I dont really care about the memory usage, as it uses MUCH lower memory than kc_items did and i'm thankfull for that I'm just throwing ideas:P Last edited by Arbiter : 10-23-06 at 02:50 PM.

It'll probably be more intuitive for me to do real auto complete instead of the auto completion I do right now after you type the end bracket.

And about the database building, is that really needed to be kept loaded? i mean the difence between a search with a database already created and a no-database search, is only 0.2sec. I dont really care about the memory usage, as it uses MUCH lower memory than kc_items did and i'm thankfull for that I'm just throwing ideas:P

0.2seconds adds up when using the GUI for searching by typing letter after letter. A possible solution would for me to have an option to disable real time searching, which would also disable the cache.

The two possible ways to know the sell value for an item are:
Visit a merchant with the item
Download someone else's Ludwig_SellValue data and hope that has the item.

virtual db, delete on close

i think he mean delete the db when you close the window.

so like you open ludwig, it creates the db in that 0.2sec (whatever). you search around with the virtual db etc. if you are done and close ludiwg, the db get destroyed/deleted.
if you start ludwig again, the db get rebuiled.

since rebuilding the db doesnt take hat much time and with that you prevent to have that virtual db in the memory all the time after you used ludwig once in that session.

maybe give an option in ludwig or parameter to use permanent virtual db or destroy on close.

askjosh A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 7 File comments: 26 Uploads: 0	Thanks for the update :-) Thanks for the update this is by far the best item database mod out there. IF I may suggest Tradeskill Info is another addon that complements this very well and I highly recomend it to everyone.

Try deleting the linkerator file within Ludwig's folder

Is this not possible?

: / I don't get how to use this mod, is there a tutorial that explains how to get all the items in the game, or at least all the items i've seen into it?
