Conveniently adds information to tooltip!
Swindler Preventer   Updated less than 3 days ago!   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
This addon adds information to the tooltip to remind you that you could buy an item from a vendor instead. Never get swindled again!

Currently supports Recipes, Vanity Pets, and Containers.

Frequently Asked Question:
"I have a lot of data to submit. Is there a file I can just e-mail you or something?"

In fact there is. The file is saved in your Account/SavedVariables folder, under SwindlerPreventer.lua

Look for the line that begins with SP_NewItemInfo = {

Copy everything from that line to the end of the document and get that to me, and I can use that to update the data with. If you're lazy, you can e-mail me the entire file.

The in-game message is preferred, though. But if it's too much to remember, this method also works.

If you do submit this way, please make sure to delete your file before using a new version, so you're not submitting data that's already in the database. ^_^
  Change Log - Swindler Preventer
3.1.3 - 2009/6/30
- Data update!

3.1.1 - 2009/5/05
- TOC Update
- Data update! All Argent Tournament pets have been added. Remember, Swindler Preventer lists vendors of your faction (Alliance/Horde) and neutral vendors only.

I had to retrieve the Argent Tournament pet data myself. Out of ten pets, only 3 were reported! Your data submission helps maintain the addon for other players. ^_^

3.0.9a - 2009/3/17
- Data update!

3.0.9 - 2009/2/24
- Data update!

3.0.3f - 2009/1/14
- Data update!

Y'know what I noticed about the holiday goblins I never noticed before? Their names are parodies of stores.

Wulmort - Walmart
Hotoppik - Hot Topic
Penney - JC Penny's
Wolgren - Walgreens
Khole - Kohls
Nardstrum - Nordstrom
Seersa - Sears
Eebee - EB (Electronic Boutique, or EB Games)

Wow. I really have never noticed that before. I wonder how many people notice that? Honestly? It doesn't stick out until you're listing all of them from all the cities right in a row. Like if you're maintaining data for an addon like this. =P There may even be more store-named holiday goblins but these are the only ones that have been reported as selling recipes.

I'm also thinking about removing Container support. The vast majority of reported data is vendors, vendors, and yet more vendors, that sell the extremely common items of bags and quivers. In the next version, if I don't hear any requests otherwise, I'm going to change the extremely common items to say 'A lot of vendors, a lot of places' instead of filling your entire screen with vendor locations for that one item. The other option is to list only vendors in capital cities. What are your thoughts?

3.0.3e - 2008/12/24
- Data update!

3.0.3d - 2008/12/02
- Data update!

3.0.3c - 2008/11/25
- Data update!

3.0.3b - 2008/11/17
- Bought a port to Dalaran and added Dalaran Recipe vendors, which were probably the spammiest. Keep the data submission coming!

3.0.3a - 2008/11/10
- Added more data.

3.0.3 - 2008/11/09
- Fixed slash command. Thanks Joel!
- Added Containers of all kinds. Only the exact version that can be bought from a vendor is included, though. For instance, a Small Black Pouch will not list that it can be bought from a vendor, even though it's the exact same size as a Small Brown one. So just be wary, if you don't care about the color of your bag, and only the size, look for the 'brown' color for vendor information.
- Added 'detection' for Vanity Pets, Quivers/Ammo Pouches, and Containers for English localization. This data seems to be incomplete on websites such as WoWDigger, Thottbot, WoWHead, etc., so please report any data you find! You can report any information found to this website! Please include the entire in-game message.

3.0.2a - 2008/11/03
- Added some reported recipes.

3.0 - 2008/10/25
- Took over the addon 'AdSpace' and at original author's request, renamed it. New name is 'Swindler Preventer'! Will include info on tradeable items beyond just recipes. Will start with vanity pets.

If you mean a toc update for the sake of doing a toc update....sure, why not. Sometime this weekend.

Nothing about the addon appears to be broken, works fine with 'load out of date addons' selected.
Heh um ok what ever a toc update is lol Sadly I have no clue on this stuff.

A copy frame for the reporting of new data by the mod would be awesome!

Thortok,

Looking through the SV, I don't see the vendor... it's the bag vendor in TB. I will look around to see if I can find them and edit this.

It has been a while, so here is my current SV with some of the notes.

http://up.norganna.org/show.php/1cDt...lua%20copy.zip

Thank you,

Nikk

**Nechckn Edit: I think it's Kuruk in TB. Once able to get in and play I'll be able to tell you for sure.

**Nechckn Second Edit: After clearing out my SV and running the latest version, it seems like that issue was addressed in the latest download. Will be sure to provide my SV with any new, missed items in a few weeks.

Many, many thanks!

Thortok,

Nice to see the frequent updates; know it is not easy.

On a new character, who broke down and purchased some of the vendor bags, and either the bags or the vendor are not in the db, as of yet-

Whenever I mouse-over the bag in the bag bar, I get a message from Swindler Preventer saying that "<Vendor_Name> is unknown, please report to the site from which you downloaded". That is fine and all, but it seems to happen a lot.

Is there some way to add a check, where if you have received a message once per session that it will not send the same thing to chat, again?

This is not any sort of deal breaker, obviously, just one of those things.

Many thanks for all of your efforts,

Nikk

Then get a different virus protection software. I recommend Avast.
