Looking for someone to take over this project. Email me if you are interested.

ItemInfo by Nathanmx (nathan@executus)

What does ItemInfo do?

- shows detailed information about hyperlinks (i.e. item links or spell links) - only information that can be retrieved from the link itself
- allows you to create links (fake items, or existing items that have not yet been seen)
- Just click on the ITEM or SPELL checkboxes to switch between item and spell mode.

The first part of this addon is easy - getting information about links. All you have to do is type "/iinfo " (note the space after /iinfo)and then shift-click a link into the chat edit box, and hit enter. The second part is also very easy - all you need is the id of the item you want to play around with and you can create that item link (even if you've never seen it before). You can also make up items, change their rarity, stats, enchants, who created them, and more. The details are explained more in-depth in the included readme.html file.

Additionally, it can:

SAVE AND LOAD LINKS/NOTES BETWEEN SESSIONS

/slink save whatever_you_want_here (like plain text or itemlinks)
/slink show (or hit the 'L' button on the GUI)

RAPIDLY INCREMENT THROUGH ALL ITEMS AND SPELLS IN THE GAME

There are features included where one can rapidly increment through all the items and/or spells in the entire game. The GUI has little arrows pointing left and right which allow you to increment up and down respectively, but you can also bind a key to it in the normal Key Bindings interface. Also, if you want to make a macro just use:
/script ItemInfoIncrement(x)
if x is anything, the function will DECREMENT. If you do not include the parameter (i.e. x is null), then the function will INCREMENT.

There is another function for finding cool spells: /script ItemInfoGetSpells(startnum,times)<br />
The first parameter is the spell id for the spell you want to start with. The second number is how many times you want to increment that number.

SPLICE ANY LINK

You think you found a link that is interesting, or that for some reason ItemInfo can't handle? Just use /splice [itemlink]
This technique works on all hyperlinks, so items, spells, profession links, the works

Misc extras:

- Suffix factor calculation (just click the 'S' button on the GUI when you have loaded an item with a suffix, i.e. "of the bear", "of the monkey", etc)
- Get the texture information pertaining to the icon for the item currently loaded in the GUI: /script GetIconTextureInfo()
- list all the current item colors Blizzard has in the game: /script GetItemColors()
- Inspect players! The function can be bound to a key in the keybindings - here's how it works: If you are targeting something, it will inspect that, otherwise it will inspect who you are mousing over (so you can inspect people without them knowing!). The function if you want to bind it to a macro (can also be bound in regular Key Bindings) is:
/script ItemInfo_Inspect()

This is v 5.0.1, but it is unfinished. My final undergraduate year is upon me and I must attend to that and the book I am authoring. I do not have time for WoW, nor coding addons.

This version 5.0.1 is not quite finished yet. Aspects of the program work, but it still has a handful of bugs here and there that make it not ready for release. If someone wants to continue my work, please by all means do so. I can give you some guidance on the code as well. The entirety of the XML is finished, all that needs to be fixed is the LUA code - some of the functions still need tweaking. But you should still be able to ALT+CLICK itemlinks in chat to view their info, explore links (to some degree), create (not really functional yet but the base code is there) and save them (the links will save but I haven't gotten them to display in the save tab yet (for some reason the PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD / VARIABLES_LOADED calls were being ignored).
