GoldFish Addon Idea!

[Grim077]

I cannot make this addon Myself so i'm asking if anyone would be willing to make it.

GoldFish

Is an addon that Selects a Quest item that is worth the most Gold,
The other thing this addon does is,
it also shows the Items you may be able to use, Judging by your Class,
Maybe Useful to you,
Is worth the most gold,

Such as an Item that might be better then what you have Equipped,
So that you don't over look the item and wish that you knew where i lived so you
Could find me and Kill me because of it, so anyway this is a pretty Nifty addon
Idea If i do say so my self

OneChoice by Kaelten features something like this.

Have you looked at VendorBait?

The only issue I see is that the default frame has a limit of like, 4 or 6 quest rewards -so having a quest that rewards let's say, 5 items, then you only got room for 1 more button on it without having to alter and add more frames, and basically having to do a lot of more work to make it show properly.

On the topic of "is this better for you" is a big project, I've so far used askmrrobot stats weight for (was some work, haven't had time to do the other classes) and pretty much managed to get some sort of score number that returns a positive integer if the gear is a upgrade or negative if not, the better the higher score, i.e. 0-50 minor and must be consulted with player, while anything over 50 is a define upgrade (or something like this).

Oh I am talking nonsense now! Well in any case, are there any known libraries to help check for what item is better for you (comparing two items)? So far I think not, I tried to find but found none... If not I could release a libstub that people could use in their addons to find out what item is better for players spec.

Well, that's what the golden "MV" symbol is displaying...

This is code that I wrote for this exact purpose. I changed it from actually selecting the item to showing the highest vendor price with a colored border. This was because I've continually made the mistake of getting into the habit of clicking "Continue" before changing the selection to an item I actually needed.

local highlight=QuestInfoItemHighlight:GetRegions();
local selectbutton=QuestInfoItem_OnClick;
hooksecurefunc("QuestInfoItem_OnClick",function(self) highlight:SetVertexColor(1,1,1); end);
QuestFrame:HookScript("OnEvent",function(self,event,...)
    if event=="QUEST_COMPLETE" or event=="QUEST_ITEM_UPDATE" then
        local numchoices=GetNumQuestChoices();
        local maxid,maxval=0,-1;
        for i=1,numchoices do
            local link=GetQuestItemLink("choice",i);
            if not link then return; end
 
            local price=select(11,GetItemInfo(link))*select(3,GetQuestItemInfo("choice",i));
            if price>maxval then
                maxid,maxval=i,price;
            end
        end
        if maxid>0 then
            selectbutton(_G["QuestInfoItem"..maxid]);
            highlight:SetVertexColor(0,1,0);
            QuestInfoFrame.itemChoice=0;--  Hack to deselect choice
        end
    end
end);

OneChoice or VendorBait, with RatingBuster already do what you're trying to do. They do it simply, with as little overhead as possible. No point reinventing the wheel (frame), when it serves the purpose just fine as-is.

This works perfectly for what i want thanks, but is there anyway you could make it also tell you theres an item that you may be able to use.
