Example for recipes that require profession skills
Working on Original Tradeskill window ! \o/
Advanced TradeSkill Window Levels (plugin)
I created this tiny mod to work as a plus for AdvancedTradeSkillWindow mod.
* I added an option to make it work even if you don't have ATSW installed, so the ones with the original tradeskill window, be happy from now on
I always wanted to see the recipe's levels and skills next to its names on our known recipes list. I asked to the original coder to add it, but didn't reply me about it.
So this time I decided to do myself. Many thanks to #wowi-lounge people, you guys helped a lot
This mod have 3 possibilities :
1 - shows the character's level required for using the crafter item
2 - shows the profession skill level required for using the crafted item
3 - does not show anything before recipe's name when the crafted item doesn't have a required level or skill to be used
I hope you guys like it and it be as helpfull as It is for me everyday
PS : This mod NO LONGER requires Advanced TradeSkill Window to work, so it's an optional dependency
PATCH NOTES
Version 1.3
- changed 'lv' to 'lvl' to stand for 'level'
- changed 'pr' to 'prf' to stand for 'profession'
- added localization code
- added german localization > I need a tester
- need french localization string - someone have it?
- removed the blank spaces because the 'space' character doesn't have the same pixels width as the 'number' character, which causes a funky display on the list. So I'd rather keep clean and easy to read, and decided to put back the zeros until I find a solution for that.
* for the ones that still want the spaces instead of zeros, go to the ATSW_Levels.lua file and change the return lines:
return "[lv " .. string.format( "%03d", l ) .. "]";
to
return "[lv " .. string.format( "%3d", l ) .. "]";
I have the newest version of ATSW installed (0.72 from Curse) and this plugin doesn't work. It looks like this plugin was made for ATSW version 0.71 and there must be some problem with the newest version.
Please update this to work with the newest version of ATSW! It's an awesome addon.
But seriously, a friend just told me about this addon to ATSW and it's very helpful. I wasn't too happy with the "prf" and "lvl" entries so I've done some modifications. The entries appear as the following examples:
[L60] Bucket of Slop
[P250] Bandage of Hurting
This makes it clear as to whether it's a [L]evel or [P]rofession requirement and drops the extra zero from level items. The profession items will still appear with a preceding zero if the requirement is less than 100. Let me know if you want to see it. You've done a great job keeping the code small so I can probably just attach it to a message.
Doh! I completely misunderstood what this was for. I wanted something that would list the TRADE SKILL level next to a recipe, not the required to used level. Oh well, thanks for all your work, and you did turn me on to the ATSW.
Originally posted by Anaral I am having the same issue. I have the file in my addons folder, but it is not showing up at the character select screen list. Has there been anyway to correct this?
This is caused by the folder in the 1.6 distro being named:
AdvancedTradeSkillWindow_Levels 1.6
Change the folder name to:
AdvancedTradeSkillWindow_Levels
I think I know what caused this. When WoW looks in a folder named "BlahBlahBlah 1.6" it'll expect to see a "BlahBlahBlah 1.6.toc" and related files. Just a small error in packaging.
Originally posted by trinkalou I have it in my Interface/addons folder...unzipped...and it is NOT being recognized like my other addies. I cant check mark it in addons list at char select screen because its not showing up in the list TO check and its not showing up that i can list recipes by levels in ATSW tradeskill window in game.

but er... I don't know this AckisRecipeList one. I would have to write a function to handle this specific addon of you, maybe that's easy. Got a link to download for I see?
Originally posted by YammY The plugin start working right away, no start command needed : )
Maybe you didn't install at the right place, Is the folder inside INTERFACE \ ADDONS ?
Or maybe it's not enabled in your addons list, check if it's showing there and it's enabled

Originally posted by Ash-rak Without the Versionsnumber it works fine. But i have deleted the lvl and prf, because its not usefull and its to long for the Tradeskillframe. And why have the levels three digits ? In the next Blizzard Addon you can reach max. Level 80....
Thx for the Addon.

Edit:
This Addon donīt work with AckisRecipeList Addon.
...i donīt have ATSW installed because i dont like the queue.
Oh. I think you should not remove the lvl and prf: Let me show an example:
you have a recipe that requires profession level 40. If you remove the prefix, how will you know if it's asking for the level 40 of your toon or for the level 40 of your profession? Know what I mean? Removing the prefix would let things ambiguous. I put them to avoid it
Ah the the number have 3 digits because the profession have 3 digits ( 001 to 375 ). Remember it's not only for toon level, it's for profession level TOO!! You seem to be forgeting about the profession level...
I made it capable to work still for people without ATSW ,just for people like you
but er... I don't know this AckisRecipeList one. I would have to write a function to handle this specific addon of you, maybe that's easy. Got a link to download for I see?
Originally posted by Jerricka Unfortunately it doesn't work for me, installing this addon made all my recipes show up as Deleted on the recipe list lol...
???? I have never seen that ! hmmm Have you tried let the addon alone, with no other addon enabled? Tell me if it happens alone too.
I think that it might be some other crazy addon that is fighting for attention hehe
