WoWInterface - Comments for Philburt63's AddOn(s)

small bug - but nothing to worry about (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:36:59 +0000

Clicking on an empty space in the Hi-Price / Low-Price columns on the Adjust screen is causing an error. This will be fixed for version 2.15, which will be released once 5.3 is patched. In the meantime, simply don't click on an empty field in these columns.

Version 2.10 (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:49:00 +0000

The easiest addon for making lots and lots of WoW gold!

WARNING - At the moment (since 5.20) the Blizzard servers are returning some odd values when doing a GetAll scan of the auction house. Until this is resolved, it is recommended that you use the page-by-page option when scanning the AH.

Version 2.10 (updated for 5.20 and Auctionator 3.1.2) includes having 6 user-defined configurations, a Simple Profit option to speed-up the auctioning process, and can now check all your auctions for those that are being undercut, letting you can cancel and re-auction them at the lowest price again.

Do either a quick or slow scan of the Auction House looking for items being sold below their normal price, letting you buy and quicky resell them for large profits.

Adds new information to the tooltip for each item, showing the prices you have bought and sold items for, along with their current average price, a ratio showing your auction selling success rate and the number of days since your bought/sold this item.

Can search for cheap bids or buyouts and selling items from your bags has never been easier, with prices being suggested based on your buying and selling history. Undercut your rivals, and see which items are not being auctioned by anyone else, letting you corner the market. Sell as a full stack - or break it down into individual auctions.

A re-vamped Shopping List screen can be used to quickly search for items that have given a good profit in the past.

The Adjustment screen deals with those silly priced items that crop up every now and then, and the 'Current Items' option has been re-introduced to search for bargains only based on the current AH information.

Keeps separate prices for each realm you play on, and even separates Horde and Alliance prices.

Designed to work as a stand-alone addon, Abigail has been adapted so that it can (if you so wish) automatically work alongside Auctionator 3.1.2, or be used with any other addon that performs a full 'getall' scan.

A very simple to use addon that is a powerful tool in its own right and versatile enough to be used as a compliment to other addons.

Full instructions are included in the downloaded folder, with hints and tips to get the gold rolling in. The Abigail website can be found at: www.abigail.webeden.co.uk

Version 2.01 (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 10:56:08 +0000

Version 2.01 29/12/12

Contains a couple of bug fixes and some new features:

Fixed small bug on adjust screen that allowed the Right-Click button to also remove prices.

Added 2 more variables and to hold Money Earned and Money Spent at AH.

Shows Spent, Earned and Profit fields on Bargains and Selling screens.

Made small changes to the recent-sold and recent-bought fields in tooltips.

Fixed a small bug that wasn't always ignoring Soulbound or Account bound items on the selling screen.

Put an Protect-Item facility on the selling screen, so that item no longer appears in the list of items to be sold.

Changed the Adjust screen so that it works ONLY with full price history, not the current price history as well.

Fixed a bug on the Deals/Bargains Screen that was allowing decimal points to appear in the per-unit price fields.

Fixed a problem with negative prices (or potential losses) on the Deals/Bargains screen not being shown correctly.

Forthcoming changes (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 21:05:59 +0000

A couple of changes in the pipeline, suggested by a user.

Firstly, Abigail is supposed to ignore Soulbound and Account Bound items on the selling screen. This wasn't always happening, so a quick re-write of that part of code has fixed this.

Next, again on the selling screen, a facility to 'ignore' items. This will allow you to keep items in your bags, that you don't want to sell, and Abigail will now prevent these appearing in the list of items that can be sold.

These changes will hopefully be implemented before Christmas, and will be released as version 2.01

Version 2.00 now ready (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:15:30 +0000

Version 2.00 for WoW 5.10 and Auctionator 3.0.9

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Abigail, please read the Upgrade Instructions included in the download folder.

Version 2.00 (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:06:43 +0000

I am currently testing Version 2.00, and it should be ready for release near the end of November. (Update - the major functions are finished and working, just a couple of bugs to sort out when upgrading from 1.34 to 2.00)

It was originally intended that 2.00 would be completely separate from earlier versions, and would be building its database of files from scratch. I have now shelved this idea, and on running Abigail 2.00 for the first time, all 1.34 files will be updated to the new format, so you won't lose your price history records.

Selling problems (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:44:10 +0000

A bug has surfaced that give rather silly selling prices when undercutting the lowest current auction for an item with a stack size greater than one. Working on a solution for this, but it may need a complete re-write of the selling routines, so it may take a week or so. Look out for a fix in 1.34, but in the meantime it isn't too drastic and Abigail will function quite happily.

THIS BUG IS NOW FIXED AND VERSION 1.34 IS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOADING :)

Undermine (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:49:29 +0000

The short answer is no. You wont find bargains without looking for them in the AH, so a scan is inevitable at some point. The Undermine addon doesn't tell you what is available, just what was available last time it looked - which can be 7 days old, missing lots of auctions. Sorry, but the information it gathers just isn't complete enough for a AH bargain scanner like Abigail (or most others to be honest).

Instead of having to run scans to g... (Abigail)

Rosoaa — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:41:29 +0000

Instead of having to run scans to get accurate prices, is there a way to use theunderminejournal addon? Found here: http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info19662-TheUndermineJournalGE.html & use those prices to find deals?

Version 1.32 now available (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 09:18:54 +0000

Ok - version 1.32 is now here, and has been tested without crashing for me (doesn't mean its totally free of bugs - so if you find one please let me know)

Updated for 5.05 and also Auctionator 3.0.5. Please note, Abigail does not work with the SlowScan feature in Auctionator. Future releases of Abigail may have a Slow Scan facility included.

Please read the Instruction file included with the download.

If you do have any problems, please read the Having Problems file included with the download - this may answer some of your problems, or let you know what information I will need if you report a problem.

Keep checking out the Abigail website for further information here

Possibly fixed (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 08:18:33 +0000

The only way i've managed to get Abigail to hangup is by first taking a 'getall' scan in Auctionator, and then trying to do a 'take snapshot' in Abigail.

This is normally prevented by having Abigail look for scans done by Auctionator, and resetting the 15 min countdown.

The most recent version (1.31) was not doing this correctly, but this has now been fixed for release as version 1.32. Also fixed is the problem of Abigail only reading one page of data instead of the whole AH. (Actually, the two problems were caused by the same programming errors).

I'll be testing version 1.32 over the next day or so, and hope to have it released on Sept 17th.

Sorry again for any problems caused.

Sorry you are having problems, but... (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:09:26 +0000

Sorry you are having problems, but there does seem to be a major issue at the moment, but I'll get it fixed as soon as possible. To help, please let me know what server you are on and what version of Abigail you are using. It would also help me if you could list any other Auction House addons that you have loaded.

After hitting Take Snapshot WoW fre... (Abigail)

cheatz — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:29:00 +0000

After hitting Take Snapshot WoW freezes indefinitely. I know it says in the instructions it may freeze for up to 90 seconds but I waited over 10 minutes and it still was frozen. Had to close WoW using task manager.

Abigail updates for MoP (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 09:57:33 +0000

The planned update schedule for Abigail

Once MoP has become live, Abigail will be updated to work and will be released as version 1.30. This release will have all known bugs fixed (not many and not too serious thankfully). This may take some time, because Abigail tries to work in conjunction with other addons, and I may have to wait until those addons are updated first. Expected timescale for this release is around mid October.

Once Abigail 1.30 is stable and released, work will begin on Abigail 2.0. This will be a complete overhaul and is expected to contain some new features, some that have been suggested by users from the Abigail website. Expected timescale for this release is Christmas 2012 - just in time for the end of the world.

Once Abigail 2.0 is released, there will be no more updates / fixes for version 1.30.

Private Servers (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 07:40:45 +0000

I've had a few comments from people running WoW on private servers that cannot get Abigail to work correctly. Sorry folks, but it just wont happen. Private servers do not respond correctly to information requests, such as reading the AH, and definately do not provide game Events that can be checked. If you are on a private server, dont bother trying to get Abigail to work, because it wont.

Another small problem (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:33:06 +0000

Just noticed another problem - if you hold down the shift key when at the Mailbox to take items quickly, Abigail is not updating the sold/auctioned ratio, and in some cases will crash. This has been addressed for the next release, but in the mean time don't use the shift key at the mailbox. Sorry, but I've just noticed this one myself.

Shopping Screen Bug (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Thu, 31 May 2012 08:57:06 +0000

A bug has been spotted on the Shopping screen that can crash Abigail. This occurs when right-clicking a name in the Generated list to send it to the Shopping list. It only happens if the Generated list has been scrolled. This bug has been fixed in version 1.21, which also fixes the problem some users have if the Auction House returns more than 42554 auctions..

Version 1.10 (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:45:56 +0000

Abigail 1.20 released on 25/5/12 - this was to fix the bug on the Selling Screen that was stopping the creation of auctions.

Abigail 1.10 released on 24/5/12. The website has been updated, so head to http://www.abigail.webeden.co.ukto see whats new.
(My ref 1288.)

One more bug found (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Thu, 03 May 2012 07:39:03 +0000

When taking items from the mailbox that you have won through an auction, if the name of the item has () brackets in it, Abigail will sometimes report an 'compare with Nil' error. This will not afect the game, and you can still take the item from the mailbox.

This has been fixed for the next version release - expected to be version 1.10

Web site being worked on (Abigail)

Philburt63 — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 12:28:55 +0000

Just a note to say Abigail now has its own website, although it doesn't allow files to be downloaded so still come here to get the latest versions.
