About TB Artisan

Features

Auto-Loot

TB Artisan automatically loots materials produced by a profession. This includes disenchanting magical items, prospecting ore, milling herbs, gathering herbs, extracting gas, skinning creatures, breaking down mechanical creatures, mining ore nodes, and fishing. TB Artisan's auto-loot feature is only active for materials gathered through professions and thus relieves you of the hassle of constantly toggling auto-loot if you dislike having it on all of the time.

Profession Links

Last but not least, TB Artisan monitors incoming whispers, allowing other players to request your tradeskill links. TB Artisan will make a best effort to recognize queries formulated in plain English, and respond with the appropriate tradeskill link, or letting players know you do not possess that tradeskill.

Triggers

The triggers include, but are not limited to, the following:

?jc
Are you a tailor?
Which glyphs can you make?
Link me your first aid list.
Can I see your enchants?
lw?

Professions

Alchemy
Blacksmithing
Cooking
Enchanting
Engineering
First Aid
Inscription
Jewel crafting
Leather working
Smelting
Tailoring

If you have a specialization (such as Transmutation Master), TB Artisan will detect that and use the appropriate link in its response. Feel free to experiment with reasonable English sentences (even partial ones). The language parser is case-insensitive, and does not require you to end your questions with a question mark. TB Artisan recognizes a vast range of abbreviations for each profession.

Alts

TB Artisan will remember profession links across all of your characters, and offers the ability to include profession links from your alts when responding to queries.

Feasts

Announcer

TB Artisan has the ability to alert your party or raid whenever you prepare (ie. drop) a Great or Fish Feast. The alert will be sent as a raid warning if you are in a party, or if you have sufficient privileges in a raid. Otherwise, it will be sent to the raid channel. This option is configurable via the Blizzard Interface menu (default: enabled).

Thank the Chefs

TB Artisan has the ability to automatically thank the people who prepare a Great or Fish Feast. It is smart enough to distinguish between real Feasts and mere emotes. This option is configurable via the Blizzard Interface menu (default: disabled).

Notice

TB Artisan depends on TB Core. The latest release of TB Core is included with TB Artisan so you do not need to download it separately.

Localizations

Localization for TB Artisan is open. Please contribute your translations using the CurseForge contribution page.

Bugs and Requests

Please submit them using the CurseForge Tracker.

About the Author

I am a professional software engineer who plays World of WarCraft way too much and develops add-ons as a hobby (crazy I know!). I have played the same character since the release of World of WarCraft, a hunter called Valana, in the Team BATTLE guild on the Mug'thol realm. I raid some, but my primary focus in this game is PvP (mainly arenas).

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

suggestion: instead of relying on a whisper (such as "?jc") it would be more beneficial to have the addon watch guild chat, yells, and whispers. Even better - let the user decide what to watch with check-boxes.

My_mage_better_than_yours said

my suggestion is REALLY ez to implement yourself... Here's how to have the addon watch the guild chat:

1) open TB_Artisan.lua in wordpad

2) search for the function "TbArtisan:OnEnable()"

3) within this function add the line:
self:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_GUILD")

4) now search for the comment "Respond to tradeskill queries via whisper"

5) above that section paste the following:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Respond to tradeskill queries via GUILD CHANNEL.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function TbArtisan:CHAT_MSG_GUILD(e, message, sender, ...)
if (TbCore:IsIgnored(sender)) then return end

--
-- First determine if this is even a tradeskill link query.
--
local profession, spell = TbArtisan:GetSpellName(TbCore:StrLowerTrim(message))
if (not profession) then return end

--
-- Get the tradeskill link and either respond with it, or notify the sender that we don't have the requested tradeskill. However,
-- if we have been logged in for less than 30 seconds, fall back on our cache if profession data is not yet available from the
-- server. Then update our cache with the outcome.
--
local _, link = GetSpellLink(spell)
if (not link and time() - _login < 30) then
link = self.db.factionrealm[profession][_player]
end
self.db.factionrealm[profession][_player] = link

if (link) then
--
-- Reply with a profession link. Optionally, advise the sender of what our alts can do, if applicable.
--
SendChatMessage("<TB Artisan> " .. link, "WHISPER", nil, sender)
if (self.db.char.includeAlts[profession] and TbCore:CountDictionaryEntries(self.db.factionrealm[profession]) > 1) then
SendChatMessage(L["TRADESKILL_ALTS_ALSO"], "WHISPER", nil, sender)
for alt, link in pairs(self.db.factionrealm[profession]) do
if (not UnitIsUnit(_player, alt)) then
SendChatMessage("<TB Artisan> " .. alt .. " - " .. link, "WHISPER", nil, sender)
end
end
end
end
end

r61-release highlights:
* TB Artisan will now remember alts' professions and include them in your profession query responses. By default, TB Artisan will not include alts' smelting, and first aid links.
* TB Artisan is now able to immediately respond to profession queries at logon, even before profession information is available from the server (no more erroneous "I do not have that tradeskill" replies).
* Fixed some problematic triggers.
* Added ?menu to keywords for cooking.

i like this addon. but it would be killer to be able to edit what text is sentback to players. like with inscription i have my macro that says "majors 10g minors 15g" but poeple just dont get it... so when they message me for my link it owuld be nice to be able to put a custom line in there starting "majors 10g minors 15g" after the link is sent. so even people not in citys will be able to see my prices.

Hi, and thanks for the note!

There is a ticket open for this: http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/tb_artisan/tickets/6-allow-a-response-text-to-be-included-with-the-link/ I'm currently trying to decide how it's going to work. Given the number of professions, I don't want the feature to get too complicated for the average user. I might end up only allowing one message that will be sent along with any of your links. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to add them to that ticket :)
