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:

local isresearchableByCharFromRAsettings = false
if ResearchAssistant ~= nil and ResearchAssistant.IsItemResearchableWithSettingsCharacter ~= nil then
   isresearchableByCharFromRAsettings = ResearchAssistant.IsItemResearchableWithSettingsCharacter(bagId, slotIndex)
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

item before.
- Added French translations -- thanks Flagrick!

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
-Updated to LibAddonMenu-2.0r8
-Updated to API 100007 and added requisite README

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
-Fixed some dumb mistakes that prevented the settings from initializing correctly.

v0.6.6
-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.

-Ability to toggle the crafting vocations
-Ability to toggle "always on" tracking for ORNATE and INTRICATE

v0.5.0

-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

I tracked t down and I did have a duplicate trait, but it was marked as red. Is this intentional with the .5 changes?

I'm no code writer and I have no idea what that entails, just a hope I have. Other than that, I love how this addon works!

Only one advantage: if you have an equipped item that's more preferred than anything elsewhere, it can give other things green marks instead of orange. (Or with your colors, yellow.)

*edit: I should note that while I did implement the dupe logic, I had no way of testing it because I could NOT find any duplicate traits >_<

I had a friend send me a quest reward that I already had a copy of, saving for research. So, tested and functional.

In case you wonder, the reason I dropped the slash command (and save data) is that with no support for alternate color schemes, the only thing it does is toggle the behavior, which can already be done from the Addon menu in-game. (Without even relogging! Yay Zenimax!) Less code equals less places to look for bugs, so since I barely know what I'm doing, it seemed like the prudent choice.

That said, I added equipped items to the owned traits scan, which is probably a good candidate for being an optional toggle!

I just saw this post as I was ready to push what change of yours that I merged (which is most). I kept the yellow in because I feel like it is important to say that "even though this is junkable, you still don't know it."

I think I will leave out the equip scan. I don't see any real advantage to it since you're basically notified immediately if a piece of gear you took off is important.

I'll take a look at your other changes tomorrow. Thanks tejón!

I'm working on my version 2, adding the extra behavior I mentioned below, and will attempt to merge your fixes in with that. Not sure I'll tackle send-mail and buyback, but either way, after this revision I'll step back for a bit and see if/what you wind up merging back.

Thanks! Of course after a few hours using it, I want to fiddle with a couple more things. Leaving a marker on stuff you've already researched is more desirable than I had thought, so I'll probably switch to gray for researched, dark green for non-preferred, and leave preferred at orange. Unique icons for Intricate and Ornate (coin!) would be quite handy. And there's one more UI panel that needs to be supported if possible: send mail.

I'll see how quickly I can implement all that, since the clown hasn't dropped in yet to comment.

Honestly, I really like the different icon and color you used. I dunno why I didn't think of it but grey makes PERFECT sense for grey to be the "no action needed" color. I'll get to work integrating this soon. The "preferred" idea is nice as well.

You'll receive credit in the description page. Thanks for the work!

I finally got fed up with manually figuring out what's safe to deconstruct, and caved into pressure from a couple of friends to suspend my insistence on playing the game instead of modding it. I outlined the behavior I wanted, and started work on a mod I intended to call "Research Assistant." Then I hit the docs. Well crap, those are still pretty sketchy and I'm NOT going to spend weeks plumbing the engine like I did for Oblivion. Let's see if I can get some example code... oh hey, there's already a "Research Assistant" and it does almost what I want. Rather than burden you with feature requests, I modified it to do exactly what I want. It took some effort, not least because I started with zero knowledge of Lua, but it was only a day's work and the majority of the code is still yours. Since (as mentioned) I have friends who want this, I've uploaded it as Research Assistant Refined. There are credit notices everywhere I could put them and I don't want to step on any toes, and furthermore I'm not likely to be nearly as responsive as you with the maintenance and bug fixing, so here's the point of this rambling correspondence: if you want to add the behavior of my mod as an option within yours, please do and I'll happily pull my version. Of course if you don't, that's fine too; just giving you the heads-up.
