Price Tracker Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.4

by: Barvazon [More]

General Info

Price Tracker is a simple addon that scans all your guild banks and tracks items and their prices. It then calculates and shows a suggested price in the item tooltip, as well as the minimum and maximum prices and the number of times the item was seen in the stores.

The suggested price can be calculated in several ways (which can be selected in the settings menu):

Weighted average: The average price of all items, with stack sizes taken into account. For example, a stack of 10 items will be counted 10 times when calculating the average price.
Median price: The price value for which half of the items cost more and half cost less.
Most popular price: The most common price value.[/color]

How to Use

Initially, all the guild stores have to be inspected in order for the addon to work properly. Simply go to a banker, open the Guild Store menu and click on the 'Scan Prices' button on the left-hand side. This will take a while, depending on how many guild stores are available, and how many items are listed in each guild store. During the scanning process, the 'Scan Prices' button will be disabled. It will be reenabled once all the guild stores have been scanned.

After that, simply select an item in your bag, and if the item is listed in a guild store, it will show the suggested price.

Updating Prices

Occasionally, click on the 'Scan Prices' button again to update the price list with newly listed items.

Database Update

Notice that starting v1.7 changes the way items are indexed and retrieved. From now on, instead of using the item name, Price Tracker uses the item ID, which is a lot more accurate. It also accounts for the item's level when comparing prices. For example, Leather Boots of Stamina can come in level 15, 35 or 50. When comparing prices, only items that match the level of the selected Leather Boots of Stamina will be taken into account.

Having said that, I am aware that, for some reason, certain items come in more than one level, where that does not seem to make any sense. Recipes, ingredients, and certain items will report to have different levels, even though no discernible difference can be found. I do not know why that is the case. Only ZO can answer that question.

Lastly, as a result of this change, all saved items will be dropped, and a new database will be created. Please do not forget to click on the 'Scan Items' button to rescan the stores.

Yes, try running

Lua Code:

/pt clean

. It will clear all the values that are older than a month. Should reduce the size of your file. Also, with the new API release, you probably lost all your saved values, and I have a solution for that as well, which will come in the next update.

Off the top of my head, I can think of one reason why you would not see items like ingredients. It seems that some items come in different levels, even when that doesn't make any sense. So, for example, a nirnroot level 1 is different from a nirnroot level 2, even thought they are the same thing. I am not sure why that is the case, and I am kind of waiting for Update 3, where the API changes again, before I make any changes.

If you would like to verify my theory, you can look in your saved variables file (PM me if you do not know how to do that), or simply send that file to me and I will analyze it for you.

Also, I'm not seeing the price tracker information in my tooltips currently.

Still can't finish a scan, even after the latest updates? I made some changes to account for the timeouts, and to use the new timeout API. I was hoping it would help.

I saw this, but it is hard to debug, since it only happens occasionally on my computer. Have you tried closing and reopening the guild store and trying to scan it again? This, of course, is a temporary solution for a problem, while I debug it.

Thanks for the quick reply! Like you said, it's 'catch as catch can'. It doesn't do it every SINGLE time, just.. 80% of the time. I surmise if it's not happening to everyone, it could be server lag in processing the request? I have tried closing the store and reopening, as well as closing, switch stores, then starting fresh. No change so far.

Also... maybe a "stop scan" button?

Yeah same here.

@Barvazon

Go to the listing tab of a guild store and move your cursor to one of your listed items. It crashes.

Just opening the listing tab is not crashing the game, you need at least one item listed and moved your cursor on it (like you want to cancel item's listing etc.)

Ditto That!

Same crash behavior when reproducing the steps mentioned above

Sorry it took me so long to figure this one out. Fixed in 1.9

Can you remove that gap so we can see it like;

Suggested Price: 300G

instead of;

Code:

Suggested Price:                   300G

?

or at least having it as an option would be great.

I put the spacing there as a poor attempt to justify the output with the rest of the lines (min / max, etc.) Which addons are you using? I would like to see how it breaks the lines on my end.

Here it is;

Edit: This is an addon that changes default fonts of ESO, original author was Pawsickles.

Edit2: As a workaround, I decrease the font size after you release a new version. (Changing the font ZoFontGame to ZoFontAnnounceSmall. 18 to 16 If I remember correct.) That's not a bug by the way, consider it just a feature/change request.
