Minimal Archaeology  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.2.0 08.11.11
by: Gibble [More]

Description
View all your artifact's progress, and solve them in one compact frame. Also you can view all your artifact's history neatly sorted by race, and a list of digsites. You can left-click the keystone button to attach keystones (or right-click to remove), or if you prefer there are options to automatically use keystones! You can monitor the artifacts progress, or how close you are to the 200 fragment cap.

Important (09.16.12)
Development will continue over at Curse.

Commands
/minarch
shows available commands

Useful Macros
Use this in combination with the auto-hide feature

/cast Survey
/minarch show


Updates
(08.11.11) - Updated the ToC to 40200, unfortunatly I have not had any time for WoW or this addon and probably won't for a while, if you or someone you know is interested in helping me with the addon send me an email/pm.

(04.27.11) - Artifact progress bars should be more reliable, Added zone information to the Active Digsite Indicator, Fixed crash when MinArch and Blizz Arch were open at the same time, and some more smaller stuff.

(04.15.11) - Cleaned up over 90% of the code so it's possible that I broke something, added a couple new features, including monitoring the 200 fragment cap. Fixed the progress bars, although sometimes the texture isn't applied, ('/console reloadui' usually fixes it). Added artifacts sale price to the tooltip.

(02.09.11) - Fixed bug where Minimal Archaeology would not get the proper information about available keystones. There is still a problem with the artifact bars not being completely accurate...

(01.10.11) - Fixed a couple of bugs relating to history and added Discovered Date and Number Discovered (if relevant) to the main Minimal Archaeology frame.

(01.09.11) - Added a missing artifact to the dwarf history page.

(01.08.11) - Hopefully fixed a couple of small bugs. Added a history frame (who needs the default ui anyway), if I've missed an artifact or made any mistakes with this please let me know.

(12.24.10) - I forgot to update the toc, so this version still reports 12.23.10-2, sorry about that. Small bugfixes, added tooltip to keystone button to indicate available keystones (might need a little bit of work still). Also added keybindings to show/hide minimal archaeology, and to survey.

(12.23.10-2) - Fixed a bug that had and an archaeology icon floating next to the tooltip.

(12.23.10) - The skill bar should now hide when at max level. Added a button to open the default interface. Added a small distinction between fragment progress and progress gained with keystones. Also text for rare items should be colored blue. Added the artifacts icon to the lore tooltip. Small bugfixes.

(12.22.10) - Added the option to scale the Minimal Archaeology frame. Also added an option to wait to solve artifacts before auto-hiding after completing a dig site.

(12.21.10) - I did some major code cleanup, I'll do this every once-in-a-while since I get better as I go, and it makes the code a lot easier to work with. Also implemented an experimental fix for users that were experiencing initializing nil values. Last but not least, I added two new options, one to always start hidden, the other to auto-hide after completing a dig site (I need to expand on this and will). Also right-clicking the minimap will bring up the options panel.

(12.20.10) - Use keystones by left-clicking the keystone button, remove them with a right-click. Options to automatically use keystones.

(12.19.10) - Fixed the issue with the sound repeating. Adjusted the lore tooltip. The frame now remembers what state it was in at logout (so if it was closed when you logged out, it will be closed when you log in). Added an options panel which allows you to hide specific artifact bars, the minimap button and disable the notification sound.

Known Issues
History window sometimes doesn't populate, open BlizzArch History and close it, MinArch should refresh the history (if not, then it will refresh after solving an artifact)

Bars sometimes don't have a fill texture '/console reloadui' sometimes fixes this.

Sometimes bars do not immediately update after completing an artifact, (open/close BlizzArch should refresh it, or wait until you collect a new fragment)

Current artifact that you're solving shown in tooltip isn't updated after you solve on via clicking. Only after opening main arcaeology window or after closing/opening minArch window.

Not a bad idea - but you have a memory leak (watch the usage go up, and up), and whatever is going on it also drops framerates. I went from 120 FPS to 5 FPS in half an hour with this addon loaded. Reloading UI reset the memory usage and the FPS... for a while.

So, I'll be disabling this addon until you can get it behaving reasonably.

I was unable to recreate this, I play for 1 hour with a consistent 60fps, the addon started at 0.166mb when I logged in, then after about 30mins was at 0.3mb and it stayed around there for the rest of the session. I did this on 2 computers.

I did notice while I was working on this version, that while wow wasn't 100% up-to-date I experienced a strange assortment of bugs relating to archaeology. Maybe that is the issue?

While running around levelling archeology, the memory used by this addon climbed steadily to 16 MB (passing auctioneer), and my FPS dropped at the same time (which could be coincidence, but not likely given an active memory leak attributed to the addon). A general archeology bug probably wouldn't explain the memory leak, nor the drop in FPS that only happened while this addon was loaded. It might if this addon was the only thing using a buggy API (wouldn't be the first time Blizz didn't test an API!).

I'll spend some more time on this and see if I can reproduce the problem.



Notes from reading the code:

Does CreateHistoryList really need to be done twice in a row (done in 2 places)?

Great addon, small problem

Great addon - solves a real need for me in terms of always having to check how many artifacts I have and what can be solved, but the command line (/minarch) commands do not work for me. Nothing happens, no error, etc.

Reproduced it tonight -- it happens when a keystone is set in the solution panel, or "always use keystone" is set in the prefs. Turning off the keystone gets rid of the delays and memory leak. And it leaks/hangs everytime something changes in your bags (weird).

Linking items / Stats in tooltips

Is it possible to add the ability to link into chat what you are working on?

For instance by shiftclicking the progressbar.


And in the history panel it would be really really awsome if there was some way to link/see the stats of the items that has stats.

Loving the history list in this addon. Is there any chance of adding a TomTom integration like Archy does? That would pretty much convince me to switch. Great addon.

Somehow, history bugs on Golden tooth (troll artifact). It's shown as incomplete, though i have it. I'm playing with ruRU locale.

I am aware of this bug, although I am not sure the best approach to resolve it since I'm using the Archaeology's project name and comparing the name to the actual item name for the database of archaeology projects. This seems to be happening in a couple of languages, especially french. My best option atm is to build a list of items that this occurs in (or have blizzard fix the names in the other languages so that they are the same).

I am currently working on some new features, since I managed to get the addon as a project for school, so there will be new features, once those are complete I plan to implement a system to clean up these discrepancies, so any occurances that you notice just send them to me some way and I'll make a note of them. Thanks

The progress bars is a strange issue, "/console reloadui" fixes it (not always on the first shot, I'm not sure what's happening there but I am looking into it). Hover over an artifact in the History window? I'll try and look into it, can you give me more details?
