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.

Kraeius Forum posts: 25 File comments: 249 Uploads: 3	That gap between price title and actual price is sometimes brakes tooltip lines, especially if you have other addons that use tooltip area or modifying fonts of tooltips. Can you remove that gap so we can see it like; Code: Suggested Price: 300G instead of; Code: Suggested Price: 300G ? or at least having it as an option would be great.

It's a good idea. Optimally, I would have liked to have a unique ID for each item. However, that is not the case. I don't know if item levels are provided by the API. I will take a look and see what I can do.

Seems like not

Code:

GetTradingHouseListingItemInfo(luaindex index)
    Returns: textureName icon, string itemName, integer quality, integer stackCount, string sellerName, integer timeRemaining, integer purchasePrice

But you can use:

Lua Code:

local itemLink = GetTradingHouseSearchResultItemLink(slotIndex)
local level = (select(6, ZO_LinkHandler_ParseLink(itemLink))) --it will be string, if you prefer number use tonumber(level)

Once again thank you for the fast responses and wonderful work you are doing!

Barvazon Forum posts: 0 File comments: 42 Uploads: 2	Thank you all for the kind comments and suggestions. Here are a few observations: 1. I seems that you can search, at most, one guild at a a time. That is, when trying to move on to the next guild, the search times out, and there is no way to recover it -- you will continue to get an error message, no matter how long you wait. I am working on an interim solution to that, until the developers fix this (if they decide to fix it at all). 2. There is a way to delete old data from the database. Simply type '/pt clean' and data older than 30 days will be removed. Please note that this feature is still experimental. I have not tested it sufficiently yet, so do it at your own risk. 3. All the scanned items are saved to the disk. However, when reading the list of scanned items, it seems that not all the items are being loaded. That, I believe, is an API bug, introduced in the new API release. I hear that the developers are working to fix the bugs relating to saved variables, so I am hopeful that this will be fixed shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience that sort of breaks this addon. I will continue to work on workarounds, and hope that the API bugs will be fixed quickly.

METALPUNKS Forum posts: 14 File comments: 28 Uploads: 0	Question for the author. I've said it before, the add on is fantastic. There's one thing I've been noticing and was wondering if you may know why this is happening. For some reason not everything in the guild stores is registering. For example I'll do a scan and let it do it's thing and then I go back and check(for example purpose) red wheat in my inventory. Red wheat or whatever item it may be isn't showing a price. Them if I go to the guild store and search for it there's tons red wheat. My question is why do something's not register even if they are in the guild store. Also to note some items in the guild store have no prices on them even right after a scan.

I have tried to use new event EVENT_TRADING_HOUSE_SEARCH_COOLDOWN_UPDATE and function GetTradingHouseCooldownRemaining() but I had no luck to find out how to deal with switching stores.
So in my local copy I have just commented that code out and I'm scanning guild stores one by one. Its not the best solution, but it works.

If you want to try play with the query delay, change value on the 6th line in the PriceTracker.lua to some higher value (it is in milliseconds).

Yes, the new API version seems to be very buggy. This seems to be a bug in the game rather than the addon. Another bug is that the saved prices are not all loaded when the addon starts, so some items may be stored in your saved variables, and yet the price won't show when you hover over them.

I hope they fix those bugs quickly.

Niedzwiedz Forum posts: 1 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	old guild clean up I hope i haven't missed it somewhere but is there a way to delete old guild info? I have prices showing up from a guild i left some time ago and because it was before the economy settled down they are wildly inflated. Thanks! love the addon and the quick responses ive seen here!

jmillerc13 Forum posts: 1 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Guild Search Extended has similar problems... Hey, I just posted this on Guild Search Extended comments page and figured it couldn't hurt to share the same information here as the issue seems to be common - transition from one guild scan to the next guild scan: Seems if you search just one guild, not all, the addon works consistently. It will even take you to the item when you click show and it still shows who is selling it when you click directly on the item. If you try to search all the guilds, when it gets to the last page of the first scanned guild, it gives the "too many searches in rapid succession" and starts over at page 1. Please note my first guild, which is a small friends guild, has no store. The addon still has no issue with that as it starts scanning the second trade guild with no problem but then errors on the last page. Hope this helps and hope you have good luck in making this work across all 5 guilds again. Robinton/Icariam
