Automaton's Options
Automaton   Popular!
Automaton is a lazy man's best friend. Automaton's mission is to automate as many small interface annoyances as possible, to unlock your true laziness. Use /auto or /automaton to enable or disable any of the included functionality:
  • Filter - Always default to showing only available spells and skill at trainers
  • Gossip - Navigates gossip and quest text for you.
  • Group - Automatically accepts group invites from anyone in your guild or friends list.
  • Loner - Decline guild invites.
  • Mailer - Saves the Send To field of your mail, and Alt + Right Click an item in your inventory to mail that item.
  • Queue - Joins battlegrounds queues automatically, can also join after a delay by using /auto queue delay.
  • Plates - Show Target Plates (default is V button) when in combat, and hide when not in combat.
  • Repair - Repairs all items any time you're at a vendor.
  • Sell - Sell all gray items when interacting with vendor.
  • Summon - Accepts summons automatically.
  • Release - Release to ghost in battlegrounds.
  • Rez - Automatically accepts resurrection requests you receive.
  • Wuss - Supress duel invitations by declining them, like the wuss you are.

Mini-changelog:
1.4.0 r9:
- removed several modules which are no longer necessary, as the Blizzard UI now does them
- update the battleground queue delay to 60 seconds, since the time limit was reduced from 120 seconds to 80 seconds to enter a battleground with 2.4.3
- update toc to 20400
1.2.4 r26163:
- Fix a library issue with AceHook that prevented addon from loading
1.2.4:
- Bump toc to 20003
- Remove specialevents dependency
- Dimsount now uses new API; no longer should cause errors
- Unshapeshift only registers taxi event if druid or shaman
- Default to off function added to core
- Wuss, Ding, and Loner default to off
- Fix bug in Queue that would not reset a delayed battleground join timer if leaving a queue and rejoining
- Add option to queue to automatically join the battlefield queue
- Add a Mailer module to simplify mailing. Saves the Send To field and alt + right click an item with the mailbox open to send that item.
1.2.2:
- Added several modules: AutoLootBOP, AutoStand, AutoSummon
- fixed a bug in AutoDismount that prevented dismounting when the player had debuffs
- added shaman and priests to Unshapeshift
- AutoQueue will now always use the delay feature if the player is inside a battleground
- New delay options for AutoGroup and AutoRez
- AutoRepair will now instruct the player to go farm if they cannot afford the repair cost. Damn newbies.
1.2.0 r19309: Uploaded .zip again, some libraries seemed to be missing.
1.2.0: Removed AutoTrade, no longer compatable with 2.0. Added a couple new modules.
1.1.1: Fixed issues with options tables which caused DeuceCommander to be unhappy.
1.1.0: Modularized, added a host of new features.

There is important and more detailed usage information, along with future plans at http://wowace.com/wiki/Automaton. It is highly recommended that you read it. For comments leave them here at wowi or http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=2887.0. Enjoy!

NOTE: The version of Automaton on wowace.com has not been updated by me in some time, and is most certainly different from the release here. At some point I may fix this, but for now, the version posted here is my "official" version.

No, still haven't abandoned it...

It's been a long time. Took a long break from wow, but have been playing again in recent months. Been meaning to do some updates for Automaton, wasn't sure that anyone still used it

I would like to note that presently I haven't merged changes made to the wowace version, so it's going to be different than the one I've just uploaded here. For now, this is the "official" version.

Hushnowxx: Rez disables itself automatically. Not the most elegant way to solve the problem I was having, but you can turn on the "persist" option to keep it from turning itself off if that's what you prefer.

I have 1 problem with this addon, the auto rez feature turns off every 1st auto rez so I have to enable it after each auto rez. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Just hold down the shift key when clicking an NPC and this will disable Automaton's anti-gossip feature.

Exploiting the mod's features is often the cure to its bugs

Additionally, having an option to block trades while at the bank, mailbox, or AH would be awesome - I don't want to block trades completely but I don't want people opening a trade window with me and having the interface automatically closing whatever it is that I'm actually doing.

Auto-trading with innkeeper?

Great add-on, but I'm having one issue. When I try to talk to an innkeeper it will automatically bring up the trade interface. I can't reply to the innkeeper to say that I want to make that inn my new home.

They're on the svn now, along with some other GossipData additions.

Hiya!

A request - can you add the rep quest "More Obsidian Warbeads" ? It's a Consortium rep quest in Nagrand, and I guess it is only available up to a certain level which would explain why you'd missed it.

Link to quest:
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9892

Requires 10 Obsidian Warbeads.

I use the WoW Ace updater, so I'd much rather have you update this once and for all than to continue patching your files.

Deuce Commander is a separate mod, I had thought about writing a GUI but I'm much too lazy when this one can do it for me

This category requires a screenshot for some reason, so that's what I posted. You can find DeuceCommander here: http://files.wowace.com/DeuceCommand...eCommander.zip

My fault with the AceHook errors. I completely forgot that Automaton still had AceHook-2.0 in it's toc/externals. I don't use the embeds, I use the libraries separately so I miss things regarding the libraries occasionally. I'll upload a fixed version in a few minutes.

I received the error 'Cannot find a library instance of AceHook-2.1.' upon logging in with this mod active. I'm not a pro with mods. Can I fix this myself?

I had an error regarding AceHook-2.0. I use Fubar which is currently using AceHook-2.1. I copied the folder and made the necessary adjustments in the .toc file. So far the mod loads fine with no errors. Might want to look into the new AceHook-2.1 and see if there are any incompatibility issues.

As I understand, only one instance of Ace loads, regardless if many mods are utilizing. I think Fubar is taking first dibs of the load.

So do I need to use Deuce Commander in order to utilize a GUI of the options? Or is this built in already?

Thanks for the hardwork.
Both of these issues should be fixed with 1.2.4.
