LootLink

Version: 4.01.4

by: Telo [More]

3.03 is a major update. See the Change Log tab for more details.

LootLink is a browseable, searchable database of every item that you come across in game. The database is initially empty, but as you encounter and interact with item links, drops, quest items, vendors, the auction house, and other players' items, they are added to the database. In practice, I find that it doesn't take very long to build up a large collection of items.

It's then easy to search for interesting things in game. Want to find non-combat pets? Search for All text:summon and dismiss. How about epic leather armor with plus healing? Try: All text:healing, Rarity:Epic, Type:Armor, Armor subtype:Leather.

For users familiar with Lua's regular expression syntax, you can use a regular expression for the All text field if you hold ctrl while clicking Okay in the search box. If you want to find epic leather armor with at least +100 healing, you can modify the above example by using All text:healing done by up to 1.. and and holding ctrl while choosing Okay.

From the browser, you can shift-click items to add a link to that item into your chat edit box or ctrl-click them to try them on in the dressing room.

Display the browser by binding a key to it -- look for the LootLink Buttons keybinding section, which contains the Toggle LootLink binding -- or by typing /lootlink or /ll in a chat edit box. There are various other options accessible via chat commands; use /ll help for a list.

New in 3.03.3, LootLink supports chat auto completion of links. Just start typing [ and any part of an item name to get a popup window with completion matches. Cycle through the matches with Tab and use ] to select your choice, which will replace the fragment that you've typed with the link to the selected item. See the Change Log tab for more details, if interested.

If you'd prefer to turn this functionality off, use /ll autocomplete to toggle it off or on.

Feel free to provide feedback via this thread. Thanks!

4.01.4:

Upped internal data version from 2.00 to 2.01 due to removing an old, unread field
Cleaned up the data upgrade code a bit
Removed the code that set the unread field, meaning fewer calls to Blizzard API functions on scans
Added some buffer time to processing of UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED events to improve performance; only the first one that occurs every 0.5 seconds will cause a self scan

4.01.3:

Added some missing chat message types to the list of scanned types so that links will be picked up from those
Cleaned up the code that inspects other players so that it's a better citizen
Added guild bank scanning
Improved zoning speed by eliminating unnecessary inventory scans

4.01.2:

Fix various bugs resulting from the addition of a reforging parameter to the game's itemlink string format; this affected linking, scanning text, and probably a few other areas of functionality.

4.01.1:

Fix bug with arg1, arg2, etc. values in event handler -- this was causing obvious problems when loot roll boxes would appear, and less obvious problems with scanning your inventory and chat links.

4.01.0:

Compatibility fixes for the 4.0.1 patch.

3.03.9:

Fixes a bug that required new items to be scanned twice on a server before they would be fully added.

3.03.8:

Minor fix so that inserting links into the chat edit box works with the new chat system
Converted more global variables to locals

3.03.7:

Lots of work around preventing combat-affecting taint
- Brand new SimpleDropDown library to avoid using the built-in UIDropDownMenu system
- getglobal function calls changed to _G array references
- UIPanelLayout attributes used instead of modifying UIPanelWindows
- Removed unneeded scripts from the internal parsing tooltip
- Internal parsing tooltip hidden when finished so that it doesn't remain parented to UIParent
- Converted a number of global variables to locals
AtlasLoot modules are loaded earlier so that source info is available for autocompletion tooltips if the LootLink browse window has not yet been opened
Added support for tabbing between fields in the search window

3.03.6:

For performance reasons, LootLink will no longer scan units during combat
Similarly, if the player's inventory changes during combat, it will be scanned at the end of combat, but not during
Removed an unused local function
Did a little more cleanup around startup behavior

3.03.5:

Fix bug where using Tab when the autocomplete popup was up while replying to a whisper would both move the selection and cycle through the people who had recently sent you tells

3.03.4:

When a LootLink tooltip is shown, the internal data for that item is checked for consistency and, if needed, corrected
- This was already partially being done, but the old code wouldn't catch name or color changes

3.03.3:

Added chat auto completion of item links:
- Typing a [ character in a chat edit box will begin looking for matching items
- Following this up with an item name or part of one will display a popup window of matches
  - You'll see the tooltip for the selected match
  - You can mouse over any of the matches to see its tooltip
- You can use Tab or Shift-Tab to cycle through the matches
- Continuing to type will narrow the choices to match the typed text
- Typing a ] character will insert the appropriate item link. Some notes:
  - You can also click on one of the matches to insert it, if you prefer
  - If the item link isn't in the client's cache, the full name will be inserted instead
  - If you are in combat, nothing will be done to the chat edit text, to avoid any taint issues
- If you know the itemid of an item, you can type [itemid: to find matches for that itemid
  - For example, [49982: will match the normal version of Heartpierce
Added /ll autocomplete option to toggle this auto complete behavior off and on

3.03.2:

Remove the (now unused) showinfo and hideinfo commands and their help

3.03.1:

Fix initial calculation of count of server items
Fix auction scanning to again hide the items and display progress in terms of pages scanned
Fix bugs around using /ll scan before opening the AH window

3.03.0:

Major update:
- Stored items are indexed by both itemid and name, so all items with duplicate names are now tracked
- If you have AtlasLoot installed, LootLink tooltips will include drop information pulled from AtlasLoot
- You can now search on iLevel and for Bind to Account items
- Glyph support added
- Heroic item support added
- Support for parsing Unique-Equipped added
- Bug fixes around nil server index
- Removed sell price storage and all code around addition of data to generic tooltips
- Removed support for the ancient pre-1.10 data format
- Added new hookable event functions that are passed LootLink ids instead of names

3.02.1:

Fix taint of INSCRIPTION global variable.

Fizzwidget's Linkerator will do that for you.

AddOns:

LootLink doesn't call ToggleSpellAutocast -- I suspect that this taint message is due to another AddOn that you're running. If you want to follow the procedure in this thread to generate a taint.log file, I'd be happy to take a look at it to identify the source of the problem.

I've been tempted to add this feature, since LootLink's already storing all of the data it would need to do it. I'll move it up the to-do list a little ways.

Nice, looking forward to it, thanks!

Fixed!

Okay, this was totally my fault. LootLink was tainting the new INSCRIPTION global variable, which leads to taint of Blizzard's spell book frame tab code. I've fixed this and your pet skills should work correctly again.

Can you give me some more specifics on exactly what error you're seeing and what, if anything, you're doing at the time the error occurs?

WonderGamer A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 8 Uploads: 0	Well the main interface for LootLink has been fixed, but it seems to be interfering with WoW's graphical interface for the new Focus feature. I can still get the feature to work fine with keybindings or console commands, but right-click, focus-related commands pops up an error saying that LootLink is the culprit. I'll get a screenshot next time I see it. It's pretty easy to duplicate, so I'll post back in a few. EDIT: Here is the error I am talking about. Last edited by WonderGamer : 10-20-08 at 09:43 PM.

With just LootLink loaded, I don't get any errors when I use the focus window. I can select a target, right click it and choose set focus, then can clear that focus and lock/unlock it without seeing any errors.

Can you enable taint logging following this procedure and post the taint.log file that's generated? If so, I should be able to figure out what's going on pretty easily.

Alright. Here's what I got:
