GoingPrice in Action

The GoingPrice_Wowhead data source addon uses the LibExtraTip library to display various statistics from Wowhead -- http://wowhead.com

This addon should update quite frequently -- about once a night.

Note:

If the latest version hasn't propagated to curse.com yet, you can go to http://goingpriceaddon.com to get it.

Release versions take the form of 3.1.xxxxxxxxxx where the '3.1' part is the version of the Wow interface supported and the 'xxxxxxxxxx' part is the date (in seconds from epoch) that the latest price was pulled from wowhead.com

    As of the latest patch, this addon now directly conflicts with Informant from the Auctioneer Suite.

    Hi kenderbard,

    Dude! Throw me some bones here! Tell me what's happening. What's the error message if any?

    Neikos.

    Sorry!

    I'm not actually entirely sure it's a conflict. There were no actual errors. All I know is that when I started up all my addons (loading out of date of course) after the new patch, I completely lost ALL tooltip information. So I went through and did the standard "turn off all addons and start finding the conflict" and noticed that when I turned off GoingPrice, all my Auctioneer's Informant data came back. So, no error messages to report.

    What version of the Auctioneer suite are you using?

    Reply Report Permalink
  • kenderbard said

    Auctioneer Suite 5.7.4568

    Should be their latest version.

  • Neikos said

    Hmm ....

    I'm running the same version of the Auctioneer Suite including Informant and I'm not experiencing your problem.

    Question:
    Do you have the GoingPrice base addon installed? If so, un-install it. It's obsolete and is no longer needed for he data source addons, GoingPrice_Allakhazam and GoingPrice_Wowhead

    If this is not the case -- you correctly DON'T have base addon installed -- then can I ask you to send me the minimum list of enabled addon's that will make the tooltip not appear. And can I ask you to send me your SavedVariables files for Informant and GoingPrice addons? They're located in <Your Wow dir>/WTF/Account/<your username>/SavedVariables/.

    Neikos.

    Thanks for the help and thanks for a cool and useful addon. I deleted the GoingPrice folder and everything works fine now. Just a thought: you might want to release a new version of GoingPrice that displays a warning message telling people to delete the folder. Keep up the good work.

    I visited the off-site addon forum to find out what's the difference between the "old" release bundles and the "new" beta bundles that are posted simultaneously these days.

    I couldn't find any detail if it's an alternate implementation that's feature equivalent or new features added or whatnot :)

    I'll admit I'm too lazy to browse the source so any chance of a brief comparison?

    I've stayed with the "release" line sofar as it works fine for me.
    (never had the GoingPrice addon, I've been using GoingPrice_x from the start for the tooltips and as a data feeder for Auctionator)

    I would be willing to beta test the new implementation if I just had an idea why :P

    Thanks.

    Hi Dridzt,

    Good to hear from you again!

    The beta versions of the addon's use LibGoingPrice library version 2.0 instead of version 1.0

    As far as Auctionator is concerned, the beta versions should be feeding it the exact same data, so you should see no difference from Auctionator's point of view.

    The beta versions introduce a few global options in the main interface panel for GoingPrice. There's a dropdown for choosing whether and which modifier keys to toggle the display of GoingPrice stats in the tooltip.

    You can also change the colours of the stats , title , and pull date.

    Sounds good, nice additions.

    I'll switch to the new line then, thanks for reply.

    Hi eridius,

    Make sure to un-install the base addon, GoingPrice v3.2 (my guess). The data source addons, GoingPrice_Allakhazam and GoingPrice_Wowhead, now operated on their own and their beta versions don't like the base addon at all.

    I am completely new to using this type of addon. does it update automatically? or do i need to go to a website to update it? ty vm

    Hi Mishir32,

    You don't have to go to my website to keep GoingPrice up to date -- though I wouldn't mind a visit once in a while. You can use the curse client from this site.

    Here's the direct link:

    Hope this helps,
    Neikos.

    Does the addon fallback to Vendor Prices in the tooltip if it doesn't have auction data?

    I'm seeing some very strange prices in the last versions (or it was always so and I just noticed)

    For example I saw Merlin's Robe (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47603) with a tooltip of "Buyout: 9g83s" which is obviously the vendor price not the auction one.

    That is rather confusing and if you can notice it easily on such an item,
    things are worse for lower level items like those "of the Monkey" greens that are AH-worthy.

    Hi Dridzt,

    My data source addons are at the mercy of what the various data source websites post. I have no fallback mechanism in place. In the case of Merlin's Robe, wowhead.com must have posted a "Buyout: " (auction house value) figure for it which drastically differs from the consensus.
    Check out http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=47603

    As far as items such as "... of the ..." are concerned, my cyber minions only know how to pull the base statistics without the "of the ..." part. I'll be adding this granularity later.

    Why don't you be the first to post an enhancement request ticket for this on curseforge.com

    My addon's have no open tickets and their getting lonely.

    Neikos.

    Hi, thanks for reply.
    I didn't follow up on the greens subject with an enhancement request as it's not what I meant :P.

    What I meant to say is that an item like Merlin's Robe that normally auctions for thousands of gold it is very easy to notice that the goingprice suggestion of 9g and change is off.

    When it comes to greens "of the bandit" "of the sorcerer" etc that auction for 15-20g the mixup with the vendor price of 9g is easier to skip your attention.

    I can understand that the addon just puts in game the auction prices found on wowhead or alakazham but then there is a problem with the script that parses those sites.

    Compare Ebonweave Robe (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42101) with
    Merlin's Robe (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47603)
    First one wowhead gives a buyout price of 700g second has no auction data yet.
    Shouldn't the parser just put "N/A" for auction data or something like that?
