The Alchemists Notebook

Version: 0.52

by: arkemiffo [More]

The alchemists notebook is made to ease the mixing of ingredients into potions.
The main objective was to make it easy to look up which ingredients are necessary for certain types of potions. The Alchemists Notebook will give you just that.

When installing the add-on you will have a toggle button on the bottom of your screen, placed right under the chat window on a default configuration. This toggle button can be turned on and off by / command "hide", and shown again with "show".

The main window of the add-on will present you with 12 buttons (only the positive effects are accounted for as poisons will only work on the drinker at the moment, and no one wants to be poisoned voluntarily).
You can select up to 3 effects for each potion. The selected effects will be displayed under the buttons. For each selection, the notebook will display to you every combination of ingredients you can use to mix for a potion with that effect specifically.

Slash commands:

/alno : Displays all the slashcommands.
/alno ? : Displays all the slashcommands.
/alno help : Displays all the slashcommands.
/alno open : Opens the main window
/alno close : Closes the main window
/alno show : Displas the toggle button.
/alno hide : Hides the toggle button.

Known issues:

Only the top 18 combinations will be shown. This is because I'm not a clever man, and haven't figured out the sliders yet, so I can't scroll the window.
Maybe not an issue, but only potions with ingredients that are directly connected with the wanted effect are displayed. For example, Restore Health and Restore Magicka will not give you a combination that also have Unstoppable. This is because no ingredient with Unstoppable have either Restore Health or Restore Magicka.

Future plans:

Clean up the interface a bit. Trying to learn how to make a dropdown so all the buttons can go, and only 3 dropdowns displayed instead. This will allow for a smaller interface in total.
Use saved variables to save the states of the toggle button. I realise that some people may get annoyed that there is a button there at all times, and they cant turn it off when the add-on is installed, except on a session to session basis.
Make the ingredients linked.
Display how many of each ingredient is in the players bag and bank respectively.
Find the actual option of the potions, and display a linked icon for each combination.

Other disclaimer:
This is my first dabble with both LUA and XML in the interface for a game. If you have a look at the code you will most likely want to use eye bleach, but if you want to improve it, go nuts. Credit would be appreciated though.

Version:
0.5 : Original file.
0.51 :

Fixed a UI bug when you tried to select more than 3 effects.
Added option to click on the selected effect (label, not button) to remove it. The other effects will be automatically sorted to skip any empty effects.

0.52
Fixed the 4 effect selected...again. Previously it only worked where the 4:th selected was a duplicate effect. Now it should hinder from selecting any 4:th effect.

And special thanks to Shivey for beta testing and finding the annoying bugs I never think about.

I looked at the xml code and it looks like everything is hard coded to a certain x,y position but it would be very nice to be able to move it to a location and have it stick there each time it is brought up. just a suggestion.

Would it be possible to add an icon to that row for this addon? I truly dont know if its possible cause I know nothing about addon limits. It sure would be cool though to just have it there instead of a big button always on the screen. You could also add a little icon button on the alchemy window.

Would be a lot less disturbing and freeing up screen space.

Yeah, it certainly should be, and it was one of the things my guildies complained about as well, so it's going to one of my new projects for this addon.
I'll also try to implement the saving function, and with that you can even disable the button altogether, and just use the /-command to display the addon instead of the button.

I'm not entierly sure on when I will have the time to sit down and play around with it though, but it should be within the next week or so.

Thanks fort he feedback.

Take a look at Alchemist. It's using Unicorn and has sliders. The unicorn library can be edited to have multiple listings inside the slider Example: Luminary Trade History.

Feel free to use any code you need.

Thanks for the tip.

At the moment I'm still trying to learn the basic XML properly though. The actual function to just do a print of the final results in LUA didn't take more than a working day. I've spent about a full week on the layout alone after that. I'll definitely check it up anyway, but I feel I want to be able to better master the basics before moving on to newer (improved as they are) UI elements and libraries.

To be honest with you, at the moment I have no idea whatsoever. Never thought about it, but it's not the specific purpose of that addon anyway as I have no addon with only emotes.
Might be Wykkds full immersion.

I'm just on my way off to bed now, but I'll investigate it tomorrow and come back to you.

Okay no problem. Thank you for response, i looked to Wykkds Full Immersion, and thats it! Then a good night to you. Thanks!
