Yet another recipe/motif tracker? Why use Character Knowledge?

Character Knowledge was created in response to some of the frustrations that I have with existing addons. Specifically...
  1. Character Knowledge is altaholic-friendly. It can track knowledge of characters across multiple accounts and even across servers.
  2. Character Knowledge has a concept of character priority. Most people have a "main" character that they prioritize for learning recipes and motifs, and Character Knowledge recognizes this and helps ensure that more important characters are given priority for distributing those extra copies of recipes and motifs that you found.
  3. Character Knowledge makes it easier to access information with a simple, straightforward UI.
  4. Character Knowledge gives players the option to share their information with friends via an export/import feature. No more need for manually compiling a list of missing motifs during the Anniversary Event.


What does this addon do, specifically?

Character Knowledge browser:
The main UI lets users browse through a master list of motifs, recipes, and furnishing plans, along with an overview of the extent of your characters' knowledge of these items.

Information added to tooltips throughout the game:
Whenever you look at an item tooltip for a recipe, plan, or motif, you'll see an overview of which characters know that particular item. In the case of chaptered motifs, you will also see an overview of your knowledge of all the chapters of this style.

A command to mass-learn recipes, furnishing plans, and motifs in your inventory:
Instead of clicking on each motif and then closing the book page one at a time, the mass-learn command can learn dozens of motifs in just a second.
  • This feature is invoked via the /cklearn chat command
  • Character priority is used to determine eligibility, to prevent low-priority characters from learning items unknown by higher-priority characters; this can be overridden by specifying the "all" parameter (i.e., /cklearn all) to learn all unknown items

Advanced Filters custom filter plugin:
For users of the Advanced Filters addon, Character Knowledge will also install a few custom filter plugins for Advanced Filters.


Additional search filter syntax
  • The "-" prefix can now be used in the search filter to exclude a search term. For example, searching for "chair -orcish" will find furnishing plans for all chairs that are not Orcish.
  • "-" as a standalone search term (not as a prefix) will filter the results to show only unknown items. For example, "chair - -orcish" can be used to find furnishing plans for all chairs that are not Orcish and that the currently selected character does not know. (To demonstrate both the standalone and prefix uses of "-")
  • "+" as a standalone search term will filter the result to show only known items. For example, "desk +" can be used to find all known desk plans, and "+" by itself will hide all unknown items.


LibCharacterKnowledge

Character Knowledge includes the LibCharacterKnowledge library. Addon authors who wish to use the library for their own addons can check out the the LibCharacterKnowledge Developer Reference. LibCharacterKnowledge is also available as a standalone download for users who want to use it without installing Character Knowledge.

This error is possible only if your SavedVariables\LibCharacterKnowledge.lua file has become corrupted.

The most likely cause of this corruption is that you have a (very) outdated version of LibAddonMenu-2.0 on your system, and it has corrupted your settings file. This is something that I've seen happen to people a few times.

Years ago, libraries were bundled with and hardcoded into addons and were not downloaded separately. So if you had downloaded an old addon that had bundled an old version of LAM2, then you'd have multiple copies of LAM2 on your system, and that old copy of LAM2, since it was most likely hard-coded, could be interfering with overriding any newer versions of LAM2 that you have installed. This is the reason why in recent years, libraries were decoupled from addons and given their own manifests, so that they could no longer interfere like this, but this change doesn't help with old libraries that were bundled and hard-coded in the past.

If this is indeed the case, then what you need to do is this:
  1. Delete your SavedVariables\LibCharacterKnowledge.lua saved variables, because it had become corrupted.
  2. Use the search function in Windows File Explorer and look for all the copies of LibAddonMenu in your AddOns directory and subdirectories, and delete any copy that's bundled within another addon.

The gamepad UI uses completely different code from the keyboard UI; it's not a reskin, but rather it's a completely different UI. And since I don't own a gamepad and can't play in gamepad mode, it's impractical for me to develop for the gamepad UI.

I don't think this is particularly useful information, and unless someone can convince me of a compelling use case for it, I have no intention of implementing it.

That having been said, if someone really cares about this statistic and has a working knowledge of Lua, it should be pretty easy them to compile this information using LibCharacterKnowledge's motif APIs.
Well, technically, the use case is the reverse of what I stated. Knowing how many actual motif pages you still miss (and have to hunt/buy/whatever). Just kinda the roundabout way my mind built the solution to the task :))

G doesn't mean anything.

None of the priority classes mean anything. There are 13 classes, from A to M, and G just happens to be the middle of that.

Characters are sorted first by their priority class.

And characters that have the same priority class are then further sorted by age.

Setting priority classes is a way to manually order your characters. This is the order in which characters are listed on an item's tooltip, and it also affects how Loot Log applies priority markings to unknown items.

By default, all characters have the same priority class (which happens to be "G", since that's the middle between "A" and "M"), and so the character priority is based entirely on character age: the oldest character comes first.

But let's say that your main character isn't your oldest character. Then what you can do is give that character a high priority class (it doesn't matter which class you pick, as long as it's higher than that of the other characters), and it will be sorted before the other characters.

Or if you play multiple accounts, you might want to make sure that all of your main account's characters--even those that are newer than characters on your alt account--are ranked higher. So you can set the priority class for your main account to a higher priority, in which case the character order will be all of your main account characters (ordered by age), followed by all of your other account's characters (ordered by age).

If you have friends who you are sharing data with, you might've imported some of their characters. And you might want to prioritize items like "my main toon, their main toon, my other toons, and their other toons", in which case you can use 4 different classes: one for your main character, one for their main character, one for your account, and another for their account, to achieve that ordering.

In short, the priority classes are a way for people to fine-tune the ordering of characters (and there are 13 different priority classes, from A to M, to give people flexibility with how they want to play with it). The rule is that characters are ordered first by class (though initially, everyone is in the same class), and then within each class, they're ordered by age.

No, I will not.

When you install ESO, does ZOS ask you to go to Microsoft's website and download their C runtimes? No. And the same goes for the vast majority of software.

It is true that in the old days, prior to manifested libraries, when libraries were hard-linked in, there was the problem of version conflicts. But with manifested libraries, the game's addon manager resolves all version conflicts and ensures that only one copy of a library--the latest available--is loaded, so there is no downside to bundling.

I will not ask users to separately download required libraries. This is something that I feel strongly about: just because unbundling has become the norm doesn't make it right or change the fact that it's detrimental to the user experience. I'd rather the game's addon manager do its intended job than hassle users unnecessarily with yet another dependency that they need to manage.

(LCK is currently available as a separate download, for people who want it without CK. But as a required core component of CK, it will continue to be included in CK's download.)

Hi, I know its too much to ask but i really like this addon and how it presents itself its just missing some that is related to it that is done by an addon like furniture catalogue but that also is a huge addon with big data on savedvars. I wish u two can work together and merge the features somehow.
