Good afternoon, I wonder if the project will continue, because this is one of the best addons for WoW and makes a foul.

deleting junk? (Looter)

quixadhal — Sun, 05 May 2013 10:44:52 +0000

Hi, I just found this addon after starting to work on part of this functionality myself. You're a LOT further along than I am. :)

I have a question for you. I see there's a "delete junk" option, which presumably loots everything and then deletes things that are considered junk afterwards, to allow skinning/mining/herbalising of the corpse. Does your addon have the option of deleting lower value junk that's already in your own inventory, so you can loot more valuable junk from the corpse?

That's basically what I was starting to work on, a way to delete grey items from you inventory when you run out of space, but hopefully comparing the value of what you have to what you could get and deleting whichever one is worth less.

If yours already does that, then I can happily replace my own stuff with it. If not, perhaps I'll try to merge that idea in sometime.

As to the party... (Useful Extras)

As to the party part, that should be pretty simple actually, the API will let me determine who a party member is and do what is asked easy enough.

The question becomes what would be the better way to implement it, such as:
1) Party members can do UE supported commands, and if they pass the usual requirements (they are in your leader list, or they are a guildmate/on your friends list and you have either of those options on) then the commands work, however if you have 'allow party' checked then anyone regardless of the usual requirements that is in the same party can do them

or 2) 'allow party' works same as 'allow guild'/'allow friends' in that if it is not checked, party is completely ignored, it if is checked then if they fit the the normal requirements they can do the commands.

Edit: Option 2 would probably be better as it would only be paying attention to party chat (code wise) when the checkbox is checked, but it shouldn't make any real impact if using Option 1, so it really is what option would people prefer.

I agree that Option 2 would work best. Also, I added these to your "feature request" page.

Thanks again!

/run local n,r=UnitName"mouseover"n=n and n..(r and"-"..r or"")or""SendChatMessage("followme","WHISPER",nil,n)

Going to try to figure out if it works with just your addon and that mouseover or if it's some other addon that's allowing it. Will report back later today. Ideally, there would also be an option to send the tell to party and have them all follow (I usually dual box but sometimes triple or quadbox /shudder) - but again, I have no clue what's a trivial addition lua-wise so my apologies if I did the coding equivalent of asking for a (unicorn) pony. Thanks again!
From a quick glance it looks like that macro is essentially just calling the API to to get the individual name & server of whoever is mouse overed so it can send it to the whisper, but I'll at it closer when I get a chance.

The main issue inv... (Useful Extras)

kittykatmax — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:59:29 +0000

The main issue involved is the 'permissions' per se, getting the realID names to work was an issue because they changed names (so instead of "Character" the name is now "Insert-Your-RealName-Here"), and getting to use blizzard's new API for the realID stuff.

Cross-realm would be along the same lines, instead of just Character it's going to be Character-Realm or the like, it should be possible, just a matter of getting it to recognize and work with it.

That said, I haven't had an active subscription much since they added the whole CRZ bit, and I don't know anyone from a different realm to test it with, I don't know if the two servers I currently have chars on will be able to see each other to test it, but I'll test things out when I get home and make some new characters on different servers if I need too.

I am willing to help and will PM u with my battletag info. I also JUST seemed to somehow get something working, but had something insane like 4 different addons like yours running and after MUCH Google searching, FINALLY found a macro today that sends the tell cross realm successfully. As is, had to use Clique and set it up as a mouseover bind. Still, gives you something to play with:

/run local n,r=UnitName"mouseover"n=n and n..(r and"-"..r or"")or""SendChatMessage("followme","WHISPER",nil,n)

EVmaker — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:33:40 +0000

Welcome back, and thank you so much! PM'd you a list of missing mounts. One request (don't know how ugly a task this is): Could you/would it be possible to make this work cross realm?

I want the Thundering Serpent Hatchling and will never get it on my regular realm/guild. I WAS able to find an awesome guild that was letting people join to earn guild rep for the pet via WarcraftPets.com, but it's on a PvP server, and I've seen, done it, have the bloody, rended armor (and psyche) from the PvP leveling experience (that's how I started WoW back in Vanilla). Made it to my mid-40s and server transferred. lol I've heard it's only gotten worse thanks to CRZ since people can swarm in, gank you, and then fly safely out of the CRZ.

Was trying to use UE to multibox and dual-level two alts (one toon from my main pve realm/one from the pvp realm) to use pain in the buns CRZ to my advantage for a change, but your addon (and all the others I tried) won't work. I'm hoping it's relatively straightforward to do and people just didn't see a need. I can whisper the commands using "charactername-server" and they receive it, but it doesn't do anything.

Thanks again for updating this, and thanks for your consideration of my request!
Thanks for the list I'll get those added once I am home his afternoon.

As to the other part, it 'should' be possible, I don't see a reason I couldn't get it to work, it will just involve some tinkering around to get it too.

Looter and Useful Extras have been updated here and on Curse, if you have any issues feel free to let me know, preferably via a feature request or bug report on the portal, but a comment here or private message on WoWI would also work.

I know there are a good number of new mounts that may not be recognized currently, I'm in the process of getting them added and should have another release out in a couple days with them. Like I noted in the changelog if you wish you can leave a comment here or message me on WoWI with any mount names & ID's you find missing (by typing /ue list mounts in game, it will tell you which ones aren't in yet).

I know fishing will be dodgy in Pandaria, I'm still in the process of finding all the ID's for them, but everything else should be fine.

Re: Cant get it work (Looter)

EVmaker — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:49:11 +0000

i set loot quality to common but it still loots grey junk.

I'm sorry but I can't reproduce this, if I have the quality set to common it only autoloots common or higher.

One possible cause here though is the loot by value options, if the grey items are worth as much as you have set to loot by value (such as loot if worth more then one gold, but also have use stack value, so 20 silver grey items that stack to 5 or more would be worth more then a gold).

Also if Loot by value is on is on, and the value is set to 0 0 0, it will loot everything no matter what it is (put in for those that wanted to be able to loot everything at times or selectively loot at times without turning the mod off).

i use the option to delete left over junk. that doesnt work. but the option to close the loot window does work.

how i can get the delete option to work?

This I can reproduce and should have fixed and working in the upcoming release. It was actually a simple fix and due to the API change blizzard made in 5.0/5.1, but since I don't personally use the delete after looting option I had missed I hadn't updated that bit after the change like I did the main looting.

but it still works fine after the bug occurs
I have Looter pretty much good to go, it is updated for new mists materials in each of the looting categories and so far its worked without error for me anyway.

Could you let me know in what circumstances does that error come up? Such as it just every time you loot, looting certain things (bodies, mining ores, etc..), do you have any items in your custom loot or block lists?

I'll keep trying to see if I can reproduce that, either way that should be the last bit before I have the newest version of Looter released. If I can't reproduce it I will release what I have so far in a couple hours, and I can make a quickfix update after tracking that down later.

thank you very much
mostly looter ist working fine (espacially after adding the new stuff to loot in the luas). the only (random) non-reproducable error (for me) is something with "itemarray" around line 4XX but it almost never happens and i can't really remember where exactly the error was :)

My apologies for the long time without updates, quite simply I haven't had an active warcraft subscription for awhile now as work as been keeping me busy, I do now however and should for the foreseeable future, the first order of business is getting the mods updated to the newest WoW patches, while doing that I'll check into the issues posted by shm0.

I hope that I should have an updated version with any necessary bug fixes out by Sunday, and yes I'll be updating it to curse as well once it is ready.

How do you add stuff to the blocked list?
For the moment just have the mouse cursor over whatever you want to block and type /looter block, and /looter unblock to unblock something (/ltr works too).

There will be a better way in a bit as redesigned GUI's for my four main mods is on the top of the todo list.
