Research Assistant (Find your researchable items)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 0.9.6.1
by: Baertram, ingeniousclown, katkat42, Randactyl
Removed libraries. Please install the following needed libraries as standalone version:
LibResearch
LibAddonMenu-2.0
LibAddonMenu-2.0 - OrderListBox widget


A simple addon that adds a little icon to the list view. The icon only shows up for weapons and armor, and will be ORANGE if you do not have the trait researched. If the icon is GREY, that means you don't need to hold onto it for research! If you have duplicate traits, they will all be YELLOW except for the lowest quality item, which will be ORANGE.

The TEAL interwoven circle icon signifies INTRICATE, and the YELLOW gold pieces icon signified ORNATE.

Features:
  • Toggle-able crafting vocations so you only see the icons for items you really care about.
  • Customizable colors
  • Choose between two different main icons for your Research Assistant.
  • Ability to track ORNATE and INTRICATE items, and the ability to track them regardless of what crafting vocations you have toggled on or off.
  • Cross-character research tracking with settings independent to each character! Now you can see at a glance what gear is important to your main crafting character(s)! (You must log in to a character to make the character appear in the dropdown box.)
  • Optionally select different characters for light and medium armor, and for weaponsmithing and armorsmithing.
  • Optionally change the order of the inventory "priority": An order list shows the inventory that will be used as preferred "bag to take the researchable items from" at the top, the 2nd preferred below, and so on. Reload the UI after changing this order please!

How does RA calculate if the item is researchable or a duplicate (also researchable but another item with the same trait should be prefered for research)?

ResearchAssistant builds a kind of preference value on each item with a trait and compares the following things:
-quality
-item level
-Set item or not
-where is it (bank, bag, guild bank, house bank) -> This order can be changed in the settings
-slotindex in the bag

All together produce an integer number where the lowest number is the one to use for reasearch (red icon) and all others with a higher number and same trait will be duplicates (yellow).

As the bag where the item lays plays a BIG role here moving it between bags can change this preference value in total and make items marked for research -> duplicate now e.g.

The order of "priority" in the bags is (where lower = will be priorized for research)
So moving items from the bank (which is the best place to put your items for research obviously as all chars can access it!) to your bag will raise the score and therefor the item might become a duplicate now.
You are able to change this order of bags/inventories in the settings.


For developers:
If you used the code that used to be here, please make your new add-ons use libResearch instead!

Function to check if an item (bagId, slotIndex) is researchable with a charcter which is set inside teh ReseearchAssistant settings for the item's crafting type.
Will return true if it is researchable for that char or false if not (or item is not researchable at all).

Lua Code:
  1. local isresearchableByCharFromRAsettings = false
  2. if ResearchAssistant ~= nil and ResearchAssistant.IsItemResearchableWithSettingsCharacter ~= nil then
  3.    isresearchableByCharFromRAsettings = ResearchAssistant.IsItemResearchableWithSettingsCharacter(bagId, slotIndex)
  4. end

If you use the German or French clients, and you see untranslated text, please feel free to contribute a translation on the Comments page!


If you need something to stop you from accidentally destroying your gear, try my (Randactyl)Item Saver add-on.
As an alternative you can also try this addon of Baertram:
FCO ItemSaver


People have been asking me a lot for a sort of grid or print-out for known traits. It was always something I wanted to add but I have never had the time. Stormknight, however, has come out with a wonderful tool called AI Research Grid. You should give it a try if this is a feature you want!


Thanks to these people:
tejón for improving the look and feel and for providing the basis for the algorithm for the YELLOW/ORANGE icons!
Tonyleila and Iphitos for providing German translations!
Ykses, Flagrick, and svan for providing French translations!
Kwisatz for providing Spanish translations!
Carter_DC, for finding and reporting a rare but annoying bug!


Note: This add-on only covers research lines for the BIG THREE (meanwhile FOUR) crafting vocations. This means I will not be implementing known recipes in this add-on. However, if this is something you want, you should give Wobin a visit and download his Sous Chef addon!

If you like what I'm doing feel free to donate something or contact me on the EU servers: @Baertram

v0.8.3a:
- Includes the right version of libResearch

v0.8.3:
- Updated to API 100008 (Update 3).

v0.8.2:
- More bug fixes, for ornate jewelry.

v0.8.1:
- Fixed several bugs introduced in last update: showing "research me" icon on
traitless items, throwing errors when jewelery or disguises are in inventory,
"Hide icon for known traits" not working.

v0.8.0:
- Revamped the Cross-Character system completely. Instead of self-tracking being
the norm and cross-character tracking being a special case, cross-character tracking
is the norm, and each category can be set individually to self or off if self-tracking
is desired. This also fixes bugs where indicators were changing color in "weird" ways
while cross-character tracking was turned on.
- Fixed a bug where Intricate and Ornate icons were not being displayed in the right
place in Inventory Grid View.
- Split Leatherworking from Clothier items, and split Weaponsmithing from Armorsmithing
items. These can now be tracked for separate characters, or linked like they used to be.

v0.7.3c
-Fixed an error where add-on was not looking at the first item in inventory.

v0.7.3b
-Hit Ctrl+s on a file this time. Whoops.


v0.7.3

v0.7.2
-Updated to LibAddonMenu-2.0


v0.7.1
-Fixed error spam when you own a ring or amulet with an intricate or ornate trait.
-Buffered the EVENT_INVENTORY_SINGLE_SLOT_UPDATE event; this should prevent hanging when using this add-on in tandem with junk management or bank management add-ons that move a lot of inventory.
-Updated to libResearch 1.0r2


v0.7.0
-BIG CRAGLORN UPDATE!
-Wrote and implemented a new library, libResearch. DEVELOPERS: if you previously used my exposed functions, please implement libResearch instead!
-Leveraged new API functions to clean up the code and make it slightly tighter, more performant and (hopefully) more reliable.
-Added cross-character functionality. This is disabled by default and must be configured individually for each character. You need to log in to a character before it shows up in the dropdown box.


v0.6.7b
-Fixed a typo that caused all the weird flickering and resizing issues.
-Before I found the typo, I thought the issue was something else. As a result, the indicator should no longer lag behind when changing filters or adding things to your inventory, and the whole add-on should perform better overall.
-Grid View compatibility requires Inventory Grid View v1.1.0b or later.


v0.6.7
-Added FULL grid view support! If you don't like how it looks, you can turn off the grid view support in the settings. It will still work in list view with this off.

v0.6.6c
-Fixed settings bug again; for real this time.


v0.6.6b

-Stacks of items in the deconstruct window will now always be YELLOW. If it is the last trait of its kind when it reaches a stack size of 1, it will turn orange.
-Profession tracking options are now character specific and have earned their own place in the settings menu. I changed this in such a way that it won't reset the rest of your settings, but the three tracking settings will be changed to ON upon applying this update.
-Added french translations thanks to Ykses


v0.6.5
-Stopped amulets from showing the research icon.
-Changed the saved settings to be Account wide. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR SETTINGS I'M SORRY!
-Added a new setting called "Show researched icon" that will toggle GRAY (already researched) icon.
-Organized and cleaned up the options menu.
-Full German translation (with the exception of the new things) provided by Tonyleila!


v.0.6.4b
-Removed git crap from the zip because I'm a noob.


v0.6.4
-Traits that are currently researching will now show up as known for the purposes of this addon.


v0.6.3
-Added icon tooltip German translation.


v0.6.2
-Added tooltips due to popular demand. They're defaulted to off. You can turn them on in the settings.


v0.6.1c
-Fixed all jewelry showing up (again). Now only ORNATE jewelry should show up.


v0.6.1b
-Fixed traitless items being flagged as orange.


v0.6.1
-Fixed the error with the new version.


v0.6.0
-Improved the algorithm; it should now correctly color duplicates.
-Exact tie duplicates will now arbitrarily decide who is better.
-Exact ties between the BANK and INVENTORY will always show the INVENTORY item as YELLOW, and the BANK item as ORANGE. Exact ties between your personal space and the GUILD BANK will always color the GUILD BANK as yellow.
-Added ORNATE and INTRICATE icons.
-Adding a settings page with a bunch of new options, including:
-Selecting icon texture
-Fully customizable colors
-Ability to toggle the crafting vocations
-Ability to toggle "always on" tracking for ORNATE and INTRICATE


v0.5.0
-Added some of tejón's tweaks.
-Changed the icon
-Added "preferred item" functionality. If you have multiple items of a trait you don't have researched, it will be ORANGE if it is the lowest quality (defined by ) of the set, or YELLOW otherwise.
-RED changed to BURNT ORANGE
-GREEN changed to GREY


v0.4.5
-Fixed the issue with stores and banks breaking the add-on.


v0.4.4b
-Fixed the "color" command.


v0.4.4
-Added command "/ra color" to toggle the duplicate item color between YELLOW and TEAL. This should (hopefully) help the color-deficient folks :)


v0.4.3b
-Fixed(?) an error that caused errors to sometimes show.


v0.4.2
-The deconstruction window show now show icons again.


v0.4.1
-Fixed an issue where "duplicates" were not differentiating between different item types.


v0.4.0
-Added YELLOW indicator for duplicate items in the inventory.


v0.3.3
-Fixed the errors that sometimes pop up on startup.


v0.3.2
-Fixed an issue that would make the add-on show indicators on the wrong items under certain circumstances.


v0.3.1
-Fixed an issue where sometimes the windows wouldn't show the indicators.


v0.3.0
-Fixed the "All shields are green" bug.
-Fixed the bug where if you had the trait of an earlier line in a skill known, the later lines would be green even if you didn't know them. Example: You know a trait for daggers but not for swords, both swords and daggers would be green.
-Fixed issue where when you loot an item and open the inventory, the indicators didn't properly update.
-Rings no longer have an indicator.


v0.2.0

So what, just disable the account wide character setting, ui reloads, and you are able to set different research characters for each of your toons as before.

And if you do not select any character (account wide the same for all or diffeently for each of your toon) the addon won't work and show anythign correctly. So you can just disable the addon if you don't select research characters

Main crafter: Enable addon
Other chars: Disable addon or just select the main crafter as crafter, or themselves if they want to research some traits as well.

In the end not-selecting any crafter in the dropdown boxes, if you haven't enabled the account wide research char, will just make the addon to scan traits but do not mark anything for research if it's missing on the main char or your currently logged in char.

Basically I have a crafting character, but I like all my characters to know the basic traits since why not. It's not like it hurts the primary crafter and traits are easy to research when you already have one character who knows them all.

Are you using account wide settings for the research char or each character can use different research characters in the settings?

Did you choose at least one the research character in the settings dropdown boxes which is unequal -?

If you chose account wide research chars selecting a research char at any of your toons should remove the popup.
If you have choosen different research chars for your toons you need to specify at least one research char for each of your toons to make the popup disappear.

So basically it is: If you choose a character the popup should be gone.
Not choosing any character will make the addon not work and won't add the features correctly so yes, disable it if you do not need to select a character as the addon won't be a benefit for you than at all...

Described in the post below as well.

I was getting this too. I was unable to select a character because before this message was popping up I was already set to Account-Wide settings.

To get around this I set it back to NOT account-wide, selected my main character for everything, then changed it back to account-wide.

Account wide research character means: No matter which char you log in with all characters selected for research will be the same. It got nothing to do with the not-account wide research characters!

BUT:
Setting the account wide research char, and then DISABLING this setting (which will make the UI reload directly and you are in the non account wide research char mode than) will NOT USE the account wide research characters anymore... Pretty obvious

So if you disable the account wide settings it will still show the popup on EACH LOGGED IN CHARACTER, IF you have NOT CHOSEN the research characters for all crafting types ON THIS CURRENTLY LOGGED IN character.
So please set the research characters on each logged in character once and the popup will be gone.

If, with account research character settings DISABLED, the popup still shows for a logged in character where you have already chosen the research characters for all the crafting types, then it will be an error . Everything else is no error but works as designed.

Same here. I ended up disabling the AddOn until this is fixed. ALL my characters are crafting characters for research traits.

I've change the "account wide" setting to no avail. All the setting for each crafting is set for ALL characters, the "-" symbol. I want to track all characters, not one as shown in the settings to show for EVERY character. I do not want to see research for a character that is different from the one I am using now. I do not want to decon stuff that this character can use due to it showing research for a different character that already know the trait. However, I think this AddOn did display a different icon color for trait known, but can be research on a different character. That feature I liked.

Guys: The addon's logic did not change in any way! All is working the same way like before.
If you do not select ANY research character the addon will (and won't in the past) show you marker icons in the inventories like "duplicate", "already known", "unknown" etc.


All the setting for each crafting is set for ALL characters, the "-" symbol.
- means NONE so this will just not work. You need to enable any, at least in one crafting type, for the addon to be able to compare these crafting type's items and show you the marker icons in the inventories.
Research Assistant is still scanning the known traits of all cahractersm, even if - is selected for research of any crafting type.

But if the addon does not know which character should be used to compare to, how should it show you marker icons than?
If you want to track accros all characters you MUST simply disable the account wide research character setting.
Then, on each of your toons, select the currently logged in toon for all craftings! This way RA did it in the past and will now still track the same way what your currently logged in character still needs to research.

Enable the tooltips and upon moving the mouse above the marker icons for e.g. unknown/known you'll see what other characters know/do not know this trait.
RA always worked this way, maybe you just missunderstood it?
I did not change anything in these checks and routines.
I just changed it to use the unique characterID in the background, so you can safely rename your characters. Before it was using the name of the character.

and btw:
Disabling the popup box will just lead to you guys sending in reports agian about missing marker icons, and wrong data where it turns out you haven't configured the addon properly in the end... This is my free and unpaid time that gets wasted here so I decided to show you directly that your configuration is wrong and you need to setup the addon properly.

btw 2nd:
The old Research Assistant files are still there at the "Other files" download page. You can download an older verison and test it. It all works the same. If not, pleae make an example where it is different so I can have a look. But as I wrote above: Nothing changed in the tracking or marking logics.
e.g. RA version 0.9.4.7 from 2nd February with old character names and settings for each character.
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/getfile.php?id=111&aid=27992

Just use this and do not select any character for research. It should behave the same and not show you and valuable marker icons if you do not select any character for research.

I'll test this myself if there are any differences. And I think about adding an option like "I have seen the dialog, now disable it" as well... But this will make bug reports harder again and waste hours for me

Tested with version 0.9.4.7:
If you set ALL research characters to - (none chosen) the addon won't have any benefit.
No tooltips are shown properly.
No research info is provided.
No markers at items are shown.

So this makes no difference to version 0.9.4.8 and the popup telling you to at least enable ONE crafting character or the addon won't be any benefit for you.
So if you are using non-account wide research characters: Select one char at any carfting type and you are fine. You can always select the currently logged in char. That's all and the poup will be gone.

Wow this addon has really gotten on my nerves! It is constantly popping up and harassing me to chose a crafting character which makes NO sense because I am trying to use it to learn traits on ALL of my characters. When I finally gave in and picked one it now does not properly show the icons for gear I need to research. Can the developer please just revert this latest change back, it's awful now and if it's not corrected soon I'll have to look for another, usable, research addon...

I see that the comment below me has time-consuming and annoying looking tips for how to force the addon to work in spite of the poorly designed changes. I am still unsure if it's worth my time to waste having to fix things that have no reason to have been broken.

Why not just make it DEFAULT to setting the current character as the research character instead of trying to force this change down user's throats. Anyone who wants to set a research character for each trait will probably go into the settings and fiddle with it. But it looks like the majority of users, including myself, simply want to be able to see quickly which gear we need to still research on the CURRENT character, and most people don't limit themselves to only doing research on one character. So please get this adjustment made soon.

As others have said, I do all research on all characters. It may seem like it isn't necessary, but if I ever have to delete a character I'd like to make sure I'm at least part of the way to all traits on a separate one instead of starting the 18 month process all over again.

I see that the comment below me has time-consuming and annoying looking tips for how to force the addon to work in spite of the poorly designed changes. I am still unsure if it's worth my time to waste having to fix things that have no reason to have been broken.
You better watch your writing before posting next time if you do not want to piss the devs off...
Wasting your time? You guys wasted my time all the months before sending in bug reports which made me search and in the end you did not setup the addon correctly
Sorry that the last changes do not comply with your ideas and likes...

Once again, here is what I have tetsed yesterday AND was written below, before your post.
Did you read it?

I have tested this with version 0.9.4.7 yesterday and it was NOT working diffeerntly.
Version 0.9.4.7. just chose the currently logged in charater AUTOMATICALLY!
All you need to do is do the same ONCE manually now?
Just select the currently logged in character for all craftings, that's all.

If this is too much work to do ONCE for you, I'm sad you wont invest this time. But it's your choice so don't blame me please.

And if you will not choose any character, means you select - / none, it won't work differently than before.
No marker icons, no hints, no colours, no help at all.
Neither with the older versions nor the newer.

So what is the differene here?
Tell me please, with all characters set to -/none: What did work then, what was shown, and is now shown differently?
The addon code did not change there so I cannot think of anything that worked before but isn't anymore now. All you guys tell me is that the dialog annoys you. Okay. But if you had chosen NONE before, it did nothing? It wasn't showing any marker icons in the inventories etc.


What do you expect the addon to do if you haven't chosen any characters? It does nothing and did nothing with older versions
If you set all to NONE / - it won't show anything.
BUT if you set all characters to the currently logged in character ONCE it shows the research marker icons in the inventories for EACH character, like it did before.


Feel free to use the older verisons of RA, they are still there at the "Other files" download links as I have written before.

But for god sakes, if you want to disable the dialog then just edit the ResearchAssistant.lua file, go to line
687 and change the line to:
Lua Code:
  1. --ZO_Dialogs_ShowDialog(RA.dialogName, {})

-As information-
No matter what you think the addon did or should do:
If you have not chosen any character in the research character settings the addon won't show you any research information at weapon, armor or jewelry.
How should it do this if it does not know which char to check for the research info, so it is able to tell you if you need it or not.
It's only able to show intricate and ornate items if you enable these setting.

The difference to older verisons is, that the addon now (if you disable the setting 'Account-wide same research characters' and are using different character settings for each research character) will not automatically select the currently logged in character anymore for ALL crafting types.
You have to do this ONCE manually to have it work the same way like it did before update 9.4.0.8.

But this simple step is too much work and is wasting the time of the users so they rather yell for a setting to disable the popup message telling them they forgot something, instead of simply selecting the character once

As soon as you have chosen any character it is able to check and show you the marker icons in the inventories.
So please just choose the currently logged in character and all is and works the same way like before.

If this has worked differently in versions <9.4.0.8 then send me an example please so I can rebuild and retest this. If there is a bug, I can fix it. But just yelling for a change is not enough. Thanks.
