TraitBuddy  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 9.1.0
by: Weolo [More]
TraitBuddy is an addon that tries to help you easily manage and keep track of what crafting research traits all your characters know. Great for those alt'o'holics out there just like myself.

I have expanded many game tooltips so that the information you want to see is right there on the item where you need it. There is also a custom screen if you prefer to see all the research in one place.

In case you are unsure what an alt is, it is a term to describe another/alternative character.

This addon is for Blacksmithing, Clothing, Woodworker and Jewellery traits as the other professions don't have traits you can research.

The latest version of addon library LibAddonMenu is required and will need to be installed separately.

Features
  • Expanded in-game tooltips:
    Bag, loot, mail, buyback, trade, guild store search, guild store listings, links placed in chat, quest rewards, crafting, equipped items, and motifs
  • See the traits your character and your alts know
  • See the traits your character and your alts are researching
  • Automatically knows when your research has finished. You don't need to log on to your alts for it to update.
  • See the motifs your character and your alts know
  • Research overview screen
  • Compact movable window
  • Allows you to view any of your alts by simply picking them from a dropdown or using an icon bar
  • The screen you see will be just as if you had logged on to that alt
  • You choose which alts are included/compared
  • Customisable icon and text colours
  • Translated into English, French, German, Japanese and Russian
  • Supports gamepad mode
  • Ability to filter motifs, unknown, almost completed etc
  • List of all crafted sets with details of their bonuses and locations
  • Support for other addons such as Inventory Grid View and Inventory Insight
  • Icons in inventory
  • Plus a lot more...
Check out the attached screenshots for a small sample of what the addon offers.

What do the icons mean?
Green Tick
The selected character has researched that trait.

Orange Tick
At least one or more of your characters has completed researching that trait.
But not the currently selected character.

Blue Hourglass
The selected character is researching that trait.

Orange Hourglass
No characters have completed researching that trait but one or more of your characters have started to learn it.

The colours can be customised from the options.

How to set it up
  • Log in to each character one by one so TraitBuddy can automatically work its magic
  • Check out the tooltips on items with traits and motifs
There are 3 ways to open the TraitBuddy window
  1. Bind a key
  2. Use the buttons added to the corners of the crafting stations, skill screen and guild store
  3. Use the chat commands /traitbuddy and /traitbuddyoptions
Use any combination you prefer.
Binding a key is done from the normal ESO options screen
  • Bring up the ESO Options > Controls > Keybindings and scroll down until you see "TraitBuddy Addon"
  • Choose a key you would like to use to show and hide the window
  • Personally I bind the ] key

Info for other Addon makers
Detect when mousing over a trait in TraitBuddy
In your onLoad function
Lua Code:
  1. CALLBACK_MANAGER:RegisterCallback("TB-OnTraitMouseUp", OnTraitMouseUp)
Then add a new function to do your custom stuff
Lua Code:
  1. local function OnTraitMouseUp(craftingSkillType, researchLineIndex, traitIndex)
  2.     d(zo_strformat("DEBUG: OnTraitMouseUp <<1>> <<2>> <<3>>", tostring(craftingSkillType), tostring(researchLineIndex), tostring(traitIndex)))
  3. end

If you have ideas to improve this addon or have found a bug please either post on the comments section of this addon page or send me a private message.

I hope you like it and find it useful.

Looks like I did not understand, let me try again.
  • you are on a alt
  • you dont want to research traits with that alt
  • in TraitBuddy you have marked that alt as not being interested in Blacksmithing, Clothing or Woodworking
  • you want to see a grey icon in their inventory

I'm not quite sure, if your "simpler terms" 100% express what I asked for.
It's only a suggestion anyway. And I'm a happy user of your Addon as it is.

Just to give some background information to understand, why I think it might be useful:
I had this idea of a gray research icon, when I was on an alt (who isn't a crafter/researcher) and I saw the white research icon displayed for items in my inventory/bank/guild bank. And I thought, wouldn't it be nice to see at a glance whether I can sell/deconstruct those items or better save them for my crafters/researchers for when they have a research slot available.

This information is of course already available in the tooltip. Having this baked into the inventory icon would probably just shorten the decision making process by a second, but ... a second is a second. :-)

Re: Gray research icon, if known by all designated crafters

In simpler terms you are asking to be able to have 3 icon colours in the inventory.
And the logic behind the colours should be like other parts of TraitBuddy, Known, Researching, Unknown etc etc.

Technically it would take some re-working of what I already have. It's getting to the point where I will need to disable the new icon ESO added completely and replace it with my own and logic. So don't expect it quickly.

For now you will have to make do with what's already there.

Thumbs up Gray research icon, if known by all designated crafters

I have another little suggestion which may further improve this great Addon.

In case an item has a trait, but that trait has been researched (or is being researched) by all characters designated for that crafting discipline in TraitBuddy, could you make the research icon gray instead of white? Or to put it more precise apply the following color coding for the research icon.

White == Item has a trait which may be researched by current character who is a designated crafter for this discipline

Yellow == Item has a trait which may be researched by another designated crafter (current character already knows or is not a designated crafter for this discipline)

Gray == Item has a trait, but is already known (being researched) by all designated crafters of this discipline

No Icon == Item has no trait

@GregariousJB

It will work just fine for a long time then for some reason very rarely the latest researched trait gets a little out of step.

Luckily it is a rare thing.

When you load in to your character TraitBuddy is reading the researched trait information from the game and at that time it can sometimes be wrong.

I have built entire mechanisms in to TraitBuddy to try and reduce the chances of this happening but every now and again something slips through.

I am struggling to come up with more ways of correcting this so for now if you notice something like this if you do a /reloadui it will update TraitBuddy again.

Red X for helmets even though I know the trait. Might be others, but I haven't noticed.

Love this mod. Nice work.

This can be turned off in the settings if you dont want this.
Now I'm impressed.
I just made an account on ESOUI to ask for a little improvement of one of my favorite mods and I not only get an immediate response from the author but my wish is granted within hours. And it works (already tested 5.7). Amazing!

@Weolo: You rock! ... and Merry XMAS @everyone.

@necropola done!
I will release the new version now

Rockman4140 I just had a case of this myself with something which had just completed.
I will double check the logic when I get a chance.

The reliability of TraitBuddy is very high but there can be very rare occasions where it is slightly off.
It will automatically correct itself.
You can manually correct it with a /reloadui for those very rare occasions.

Smile traitbuddy 5.6

For me is working as well, traitbuddy recognizes known clockwork city motifs.
Thank you
