- Changed format of ChangeLog
--------------------
Unknown | 30000.03

- Fixed many bugs left over from previous attempts at querying the server for poisons
- No longer supports checking for players below level 20 (Really, you shouldn't have this enabled in the first place if you can't use it)
- AddOn will simply silently fail if the player is below level 20 now
- Fixed some bugs and improved some areas of code for the options frame
- EasyPoisons no longer queries the server for poison information
--------------------
Unknown | 30000.02

- Temporary bug fix for blank options frame.
--------------------
Unknown | 30000.01

- Starting fresh, saved variable updates no longer compatible with the old system (before localization through itemID's); some of you may have to update your poison purchasing numbers
- Changing versioning method once again
- All bugs from lower level poisons and leveling up should be fixed
- Improved the poison itemID querying from the server (Thanks to IBLJerry on WoWInterface!)
- Added checks to your level so EasyPoisons will not waste time/resources performing actions if you can't use any poisons anyway
- Changed the options to a Load On Demand addon so it doesn't waste resources
- Added edit boxes to the sliders in the options to change numbers even easier
--------------------
Unknown | 3.0.9-1.0

- now query server for poisons
- now uses itemID's for saved variables/merchant item lookups
--------------------
Unknown | 3.0.8-1.01

- small code tweaks
- updated screenshots on WoWInterface
--------------------
Unknown | 3.0.8-1.0

--------------------
Unknown | 2.0

- 2.0 introduces the options frame
- each poison has a slider with a value from 0 to 100, set the value to 0 to not buy any poisons of that type
- slider value can be changed via click/slide/mousewheel
- frame can be moved by dragging the title area where it says "EasyPoisons"
- type /easypoisons to open the options frame

- increased maximum number of purchasable poisons to 100! Thanks to Senjuro/Tony for the help
--------------------
Unknown | 1.3

- lowered max number of poisons to buy from 40 to 20. Buying more than a stack is usually unnecessary with how easy it is to buy them now
- changed ChatFrame1:AddMessage to print for the slash command output
- reduced the number of if checks for poison ranks by roughly half, making it faster and use less resources
- used tostring to get around the nil merchant name index, but it will still do nothing because you need to have the item saved in your local cache for it to not be nil
- cleaned up the OnEvent code, slightly improving speed and resource usage as a side-effect
- removed /ep slash shortcut to /easypoisons to prevent addon slash command conflictions
- bumped toc to 30000, ready for 3.0 to hit live!
--------------------
Unknown | 1.2

- cleaned up the slash function some more

- reorganized if statements alphabetically by poison; nothing important, just looks nicer and more consistent
--------------------
Unknown | 1.1

- cleaned up the slash function slightly
- through a slight hack, increased total number of purchasable poisons to 40
- I noticed I accidently uploaded it on wowinterface under the name "EasyPoisoner" and even used that in the description. This is now fixed. I'm sorry if there was any confusion
--------------------
Unknown | 1.0

- initial beta release

Beoko A Cyclonian   Forum posts: 41 File comments: 61 Uploads: 21	So I just found out that Blizzard removed the item cache. The Bad News: GetItemInfo, an API that EasyPoisons uses to determine specific poison information, is (was?) dependent on the item cache. I'm assuming that there is now a temporary cache of items seen in a single session that gets purged between sessions. This may or may not be the case, but the bigger picture is that GetItemInfo returns nil values (Basically, it does not tell me anything) more often now. This means that EasyPoisons will have more times where: Poisons may not auto-purchase correctly or at all GUI may not appear correctly or at all Saved variables (Saved poison amounts) may not save correctly or at all The Good News: The fixes I have planned for the December release should fix these issues. The sacrifice will be some cpu time, but the new version of EasyPoisons will be much more user-friendly in addition to not having these issues. I am not 100 percent sure that these issues will be fixed with what I have planned since I do not know the new intricacies of GetItemInfo entirely, but I am fairly certain that there is still a work-around for this.

kaitjin A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	Originally posted by Beoko This all sounds like the work of the item cache, but I can't test that at the moment. The WoWInterface version of EasyPoisons is still coded around poison ranks, and it is poorly written in general. The alpha version of EasyPoisons, found here, is a complete rewrite and takes advantage of all of the conveniences in Cataclysm, along with much better coding conventions. When it is finished, it should be able to handle any issues involving the item cache that EasyPoisons currently cannot. There's still more features to add, and it has no GUI at all at this time. As I've said before, I'll have the free time to work on it in December. Also, thank you for helping out so much! I really appreciate it. My pleasure, let me know if i can help with testing. I'm more than willing to give it a shot good luck with rl stuff.

When i open trade with the NPC, the poisons are not refilled. I have to do a /easypoisons and the menu comes up blank, then I have to reload the ui. After that i open trade again and the addon works as intended, everything restocks. This all sounds like the work of the item cache, but I can't test that at the moment.

kaitjin A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	Originally posted by Beoko Did this occur immediately after a server restart or patch? The issue may be caused by the item cache being unpopulated after a restart or patch, thus causing nil returns on information used to draw the GUI. I've read in a comment that the item cache may be gone, so I don't know what would be causing this exactly. All the time, not just patch or server restart.

Beoko A Cyclonian   Forum posts: 41 File comments: 61 Uploads: 21	Originally posted by kaitjin I have discovered a bug that I'm unsure how to fix. In between visits to the shady dealer, my easy poisons slide bar screen goes blank. To be able to buy poisons again, I need to open the easypoisons screen and reload ui. I have removed all the older easypoisons lua from the wtf folder and that seem to fix it but it comes back. I'll post a ss tonight. Anybody else having this issue?

Beoko A Cyclonian   Forum posts: 41 File comments: 61 Uploads: 21	Thank you kaitjin and karden for outlining exactly what needed to be fixed! It saved me quite a bit of time and I appreciate the effort put into looking through my extremely poor code. I've pushed these changes (and slightly adjusted the height of the frame to reflect the removal of a slider) to WoWInterface. I have a beta version of EasyPoisons that I have been working on but its GUI is not even close to being finished. I'll hopefully have it finished by Cataclysm's release. It will remove most of the hacks I had to put into place in order to switch poison ranks automatically, and it will be (even more!) user-friendly for everyone. I also added poisons to level up toasts to let players know when they can first starting using a poison.

kaitjin A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	Ok, I hope the creator of this addon does not mind, and if so, I apologize, but I was interested in seeing if I could fix my own problem. I used NotePad++ to look through the addon lua code and found the issue. in both EasyPoisonsOptions.lua and EasyPoisons.lua in the addon, I replaced the local Poisons section with the following: local Poisons = { [1] = { 3775 }, -- Crippling Poison [2] = { 2892 }, -- Deadly Poison [3] = { 6947 }, -- Instant Poison [4] = { 5237 }, -- Mind-numbing Poison [5] = { 10918 }, -- Wound Poison } It now works. The menu when you open /easypoisons will have 5 poisons and 1 blank. It works fine and does not seem to hurt anything but if you are anal like myself and want it to look right scan through the code in EasyPoisonsOptions and look for AddOn.Header:SetPoint("TOP", AddOn, "TOP", 0, 6) Change the 6 to a 5, In EasyPoisons.lua look for: if Options:IsShown() then Options:Hide() for Index = 1, 6 do _G["EasyPoisonsOptionsSlider"..Index]:Hide() end else Options:Show() for Index = 1, 6 do _G["EasyPoisonsOptionsSlider"..Index]:Show() end end again, change the 6 to a 5, Then, also in EasyPoisons.lua look for: local Cache = { 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20 } Remove one of the 20's and the comma if you remove the last in the brackets. Save both files and reload ui. It should work fine now. Last edited by kaitjin : 10-17-10 at 01:38 PM.

At least that is the issue I'm currently having. Any help would be appreciated. Great addon, thank you Last edited by kaitjin : 10-17-10 at 11:38 AM.

I'm very busy at the moment with schoolwork or I would have had an update ready by the patch. As I said in the comments of ProfessionTabs, I may not have time to do a true update until Cataclysm hits in December. What issues are you guys having? I may be able to push a small update to fix them until then.
