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.

I will take a look at your addon, thank you.
I already have a list of small tweaks to make, hopefully I can add this to the next version

Thanks for taking the time to let me know I find it useful I am glad you do to.

I'm going to work on adding the information into a lot more tooltips next along with an options screen to control which tooltips you want to see and use. Hopefully that will mean even less time looking at the window I built

Version 1.3

I just released version 1.3 lots of good things in this release which were on my to do list.
Check out the change log for details.

If you want to use the alternative character selection then make sure to log on to each character otherwise it won't know what class icon to draw. A question mark icon will show in its place with a tooltip guiding you to log that character on.

I like it!

Hi! I'm really liking this add-on - I've been playing around with other add ons which do similar things, but this one seems to do it best. Really well done.

One minor request - I'm slightly red/green colorblind and on my laptop screen in particular, it's nearly impossible to distinguish between the green check used to indicate that the current character knows a trait, and the orange one to indicate that other characters know it but the current character does not. Would it be possible to use a brighter orange or some other color (yellow or maybe something like cyan or magenta) to make that difference stand out more? Thanks!

I was considering that, I will add it my list of things to do and see what I can come up with.

Version 1.4

I have added the ability for you to pick and choose which alts are included/compared in TraitBuddy.

Bring up the addon options and choose which characters you want and don't want. This is totally dynamic so if you change your mind you don't need to go off and log on to your alts again. Change the option as much as you like.

Excluded characters won't show in any tooltips and wont be used to figure out who already knows a trait.

Character deletion still to be added.

Let me know if you spot any bugs with this.

Version 1.4.1

I cleared down my own saved variables file and was able to replicate that bug. Should be fixed now.

I also added a new tooltip option which shows on equipped items. You can turn it off in the options if you don't want to use it.
