GemHelper v1.0
GemHelper   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
GemHelper v1.8.1
14 February 2009
(Written for Live Servers v3.0.9.9551)
(r85 on wowace)

Search, filter and craft gems in the game!



For non-Jewelcrafters, GemHelper serves as a encyclopedia for gems much like what AtlasLoot Enhanced is for instance and reputation loot. With many search filters for the exact gem colours, stats and materials, users can quickly find the best gem to socket into their new equipment without having to harass a Jewelcrafter or check a website about what gems are available.

For Jewelcrafters, GemHelper goes a step further and allows users to craft gems directly from the GemHelper UI with extra options such as 'Have Materials' that Enchanters currently have. Jewelcrafters are also able to replace the default Blizzard Jewelcrafting UI.

The gem tooltips will list the materials needed to craft it or the location where the gem can be found/purchased. Currently, the database contains 485 gems. All gems should be (more or less) safe to query the server for (the link) because if someone has the gem on the server (in inventory, bank or socketted in gear) and has logged on since the last server reboot, it will be safe to query.

To use GemHelper, type /gh or /gemhelper ingame. If you are a Jewelcrafter, you open the GemHelper window by pressing the Jewelcrafting button on your actionbar or spellbook.

This addon can be used along with CraftList2, ATSW, Skillet.


Quirks:
If you open the GemHelper window via the slash command (/gh or /gemhelper), you will not be able to craft gems from it. You must open the GemHelper window via the Jewelcrafting button on your actionbars/spellbook. This is NOT a bug and is a limitation of the WoW game engine.


What I need:
Localization needed for Spanish. GemHelper will currently work for English, French, German, Taiwan, Chinese and Korean clients.

And many thanks to my guild members for helping with gems!

Sometimes the create gem button is greyed out and the addon thinks I don't have the required gems.

Hello all, I've been busy updating my other addons lately (Omen, Routes, WoWEquip (a full rewrite), Postal, EasySerum, BankItems) and GemHelper is next.

I'll be looking at the issues posted below... very soon-ish!

Severe Taint

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have Chaos Frame Modifier (r11), DKPProfiler (0.632) and GemHelper (r90)
2. /cfm
3. error! (below)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: No errors.
Instead: Breaks mods

What version of the product are you using?
r90

Do you have an error log of what happened?
Code:
Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ..\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua line 224:
   attempt to index local 'listFrame' (a nil value)
Debug:
   [C]: ?
   ..\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:224: UIDropDownMenu_AddButton()
   CFM\CFM.lua:268: initFunction()
   ..\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:69: UIDropDownMenu_Initialize()
   CFM\CFM.lua:186: CFM_CreateProps()

   [string "*:OnEnterPressed"]:1:
      [string "*:OnEnterPressed"]:1
Please provide any additional information below.
This only happens when DKPProfiler and GemHelper are installed and enabled. Disabling one or the other causes no more taint. This also bleeds into other mods as well. Instead of CFM, load up Loot Filter and right at startup get:

There are no such plans. Try looking for the addon Revelation instead.

I meant in the results - or at least have the ability to sort them, so the gems I want aren't combined with the unused BC ones.

Re: send GH window to other players

You can install an addon called CraftList2, which works like GemList.
