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

- Guild store support!

-Yet yet another bug fix.

0.8.9:

- Fixed a bug that only happened with new characters who had never held a traited
item before.
- Added French translations -- thanks Flagrick!
- removed extraneous checkbox from options menu

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.

BACKGROUND: I generally deconstruct all items which are worth less than 5k gold. Anything over 5k gold I try to sell. Carefully sorting through items to decon is very time consuming (for me). If I were able to see an icon that flagged items worth over a defined value it would be much easier. Much the way that Research Assistant puts a colored circle next to items which can be or already have been researched. Thanks for your consideration.

Research Assistant's way of working is not supporting this, without having to recode like 80% of the code.
There exist other addons already providing this information afaik, CraftStore afaik.
Please switch/use this addon then if you really need to research all items with all toons
(I personally do not want to collecting the skillpoints to enable crafting and research at all toons

)

we did the same by including addons into pChat in the past, and it works well so far. You'd only need to check for needed updates after game patches etc. I'd be adding you to the team of RA then so you are officially able to maintain it as well.

Thanks
Baertram

Thanks, I got it.
I need a time to test my changes a bit more. Then I let you know.

Is it OK if I share modifications with you to add them to the addon, or is it better to try creating a separate addon?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Research ASssistant addon configuration questions (2)

I had the same problem like you, 17 chars,not all wanted to learn all, but a few some of the basics like smithing, woodworking, clothier.
I used FCOIS and ResearchAssistant, having setup RA with character settings and the few characters that wanted to learn were enabled as smith, etc -> the others were set to the same characters. So 5 were enabled for themselves, he other 12 were set to these 5.
FCOIS was setup to auomatically mark set items with the ResearchAssistant check, using the researchable icon.
Yes, I got quite a lot duplicates this way. But I was not using the bank. I managed the items via Iventory Insight from Ashes across my characters (also shows tooltips of the items e.g.) and I left the rsearchable ones on each characters inventory itsself and the bank was only used for a few of them, or deconstructable items.

So I logged in with one of the 5 crafters to level, researched 1 item from inventory (not using AutoResearch as it was soehow not reliable or usable, or didn't exist (dunno anymore), deconstructed the ones from the bank.
FCOItemSaver provides the filter buttons to only show deconstructable items, AdvancedFilters in addition provides additional filters (also at crafting tables) to only filter some special trais.
Even duplicate items can be found with the duplicates plugin of AF (duplicate by name + trait + quality etc., or only by name, and so on).
It's some manual work but pretty reliable and easy to manage the items this way. At least easier than putting all to the banks at once. But maybe the duplicate items AF plugins is also able to help you there. SHIFT+right click it -> removes FCOIS marker -> deconstruct 1 of them.
If one of your chars still needs to research exactly the same trait yuo can build a level 1 item of that trait for him pretty easily yourself, as long as 1 char got it researched already. Faster and easier as keeping all banks full with items you might research in the future. As researching is fast for the first few items and then always takes longer, and if youd o not got the skillpoints yet it even takes looooooonger (44 days+! in the end) and you can only research 1 item then at the same time.

I felt my bank is stuffed too much. Especially if you also want to keep set items you found etc. Either create your own guild then you'll have a guild bank for your own with 500 slots haha Only need like 10 chars (it was in the past at least) and after that they can all quit again, the bank stays

At least it did in the past.

But you could also use FCOItemSaver for that. It is able to support Research Assistant or CraftStore to add marker icons to your researchable items (and even on set items you want to keep, or only those with traits you want to keep -> all others will get a deconstruction marker or sell marker then).
FCOIS' main purpose is to protect your items against deconstruction, extraction, sell, trade etc. So that no precious item will be lost. Many other addons support FCOIS so far.

It needs time to setup FCOIS but after that it handles many of the daily needs automatically, together with addons like RA, CraftStore, SousChef (for recipes), or DoItAll (mass-deconstruct/extract/move to bank/withdraw from bank all respecting FCOIS marker icons so that nothing protected will be destroyed).

I use several Addons (including FCOIS). My main goal was to find a way to reduce the number of items in my bank (since it is constantly full of items needed for research). I have an addon that does research for me called "Auto Research" and an addon that looks at whether or not an item can be researched by my currently logged in toon, an alt, etc... I also have an addon that tells me which alts know that trait/recipe/motif etc... I can easily hover over an item and get that information. I use a LOT of addons with minion and one major addon that may be helpful (that I currently use) is UESP... my main goal was to reduce the stuff in my bank, right now I simply look at an item (hover my mouse over it) and can determine if it is needed (by one of my toons) and if so, I simply put it in bank, but in a previous message I gave an example of all 10 of my toons needing to learn axe-charged and what if I have 12 in bank... Since I am limited in my bank size, It would be optimal to remove the extras (duplicates)... the other addons I have installed ultimately only label an item as needing to be researched by one of my characters (for instance if one toon needs axe-charged then every single item in the bank that is axe-charged will be marked as being needed for research)... when that icon is gone, I know that none of my characters need that item for research (basically telling me a yes-no answer instead of how many are needed).
P.S I have most of the addons you mentioned....(not SousChef or Doitall)
To give you an idea of the situation, I have 10 characters.. 1 is maxxed (rank 50) at EVERY craft, 1 is maxxed at ONLY Provisioning, the other 8 are maxxed in 6 of the 7 crafts (and are all 8 working on Jewelrycrafting).

Skill points you mentioned have been challenging but I think I got them all where I want... again, the bank is the only thing I am looking at here.... I have been told by others to just sell all my research stuff in the bank because I can simply loot/buy as needed and that it will make a very little difference when you consider how much money I make during the research time.

2.* how do I get the addon to show me the duplicates ?
i.e. if ALL my 10 toons need to research axe-charged trait, and I have 12 in the bank, how do I know that I have 2 duplicates and can set them to be deconstructed/sold ?

To 1:
Choose the character saved settings, not the account wide.
Setup each character in the crafting type dropdown box to it's own name, or just enable the checkbox "Currently logged in is the crafter".

To 2:
This is not possible with the character settings. Only the acocunt wide settings are able to show duplicates accross all charactes, but you are only able to choose 1 dedicated crafter character then per crafttype.
Beside that: Makes no sense to level ALL characters ALL craftings. You won't have enough skillpoints to skill all, except if you quest all quests with all chars and collect all dungeon quests, man qust line, dlc quest lines, skyshards, Cyrodiil fraction skyshards, deleves, public dungeons etc.
I wouldn't recommend doing this, but it's up to you.

RA is not supporting this approach and never will. You'd need to find any other addon supporting this but I'm not sure which one would be able to handle this. I do not know any.

Thanks for your prompt reply.... Your addon looks great so far, and yes, it is the closest I have ever seen to doing what I am desiring....I have put a lot of time into all my characters and thought there would be enough skill points for them just with skyshards....Keep up the good work.

UPDATE: I think I may have figured a bit out... I configured "Account-Wide same research characters" to OFF and "Use logged in char for all researches" to ON by doing this it does seem to be somewhat reducing my duplicates in the bank each time I log onto one of my toons (as it is probably counting that characters needs for research) Last edited by kooliloach : 01/07/21 at 05:05 AM.

Nope, this is not the purpose of this addon sorry. This addon is about researching and thus the intricate and ornate icons are even a helper imo.

I think there already exist addons to hide these though. I don't remember the name.Just search the addons here at esoui please.

Just one question. After installing the addon two research icons are displayed in inventory - standard one and from addon.
Is it possible to hide the standard icon using addon settings?

Hi, no sorry, there is no way to hide the standard ESO vanilla UI resaerch icon via this addon.
I'll have a look if I can add it.

Edit:
I've added it to my beta version.

Attention: Please logout first and create a backup of your file live/SavedVariables/ResearchAssistant.lua before testing this beta file!
