TraitBuddy Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 9.1.0

by: Weolo [More]

TraitBuddy is an addon that tries to help you easily manage and keep track of what crafting research traits all your characters know. Great for those alt'o'holics out there just like myself.

I have expanded many game tooltips so that the information you want to see is right there on the item where you need it. There is also a custom screen if you prefer to see all the research in one place.

In case you are unsure what an alt is, it is a term to describe another/alternative character.

This addon is for Blacksmithing, Clothing, Woodworker and Jewellery traits as the other professions don't have traits you can research.

The latest version of addon library LibAddonMenu is required and will need to be installed separately.

Features

Expanded in-game tooltips:
Bag, loot, mail, buyback, trade, guild store search, guild store listings, links placed in chat, quest rewards, crafting, equipped items, and motifs
See the traits your character and your alts know
See the traits your character and your alts are researching
Automatically knows when your research has finished. You don't need to log on to your alts for it to update.
See the motifs your character and your alts know
Research overview screen
Compact movable window
Allows you to view any of your alts by simply picking them from a dropdown or using an icon bar
The screen you see will be just as if you had logged on to that alt
You choose which alts are included/compared
Customisable icon and text colours
Translated into English, French, German, Japanese and Russian
Supports gamepad mode
Ability to filter motifs, unknown, almost completed etc
List of all crafted sets with details of their bonuses and locations
Support for other addons such as Inventory Grid View and Inventory Insight
Icons in inventory
Plus a lot more...

Check out the attached screenshots for a small sample of what the addon offers.

What do the icons mean?
Green Tick
The selected character has researched that trait.

Orange Tick
At least one or more of your characters has completed researching that trait.
But not the currently selected character.

Blue Hourglass
The selected character is researching that trait.

Orange Hourglass
No characters have completed researching that trait but one or more of your characters have started to learn it.

The colours can be customised from the options.

How to set it up

Log in to each character one by one so TraitBuddy can automatically work its magic
Check out the tooltips on items with traits and motifs

There are 3 ways to open the TraitBuddy window

Bind a key
Use the buttons added to the corners of the crafting stations, skill screen and guild store
Use the chat commands /traitbuddy and /traitbuddyoptions

Use any combination you prefer.
Binding a key is done from the normal ESO options screen

Bring up the ESO Options > Controls > Keybindings and scroll down until you see "TraitBuddy Addon"
Choose a key you would like to use to show and hide the window
Personally I bind the ] key

Info for other Addon makers
Detect when mousing over a trait in TraitBuddy
In your onLoad function

Lua Code:

CALLBACK_MANAGER:RegisterCallback("TB-OnTraitMouseUp", OnTraitMouseUp)

Then add a new function to do your custom stuff

Lua Code:

local function OnTraitMouseUp(craftingSkillType, researchLineIndex, traitIndex)
    d(zo_strformat("DEBUG: OnTraitMouseUp <<1>> <<2>> <<3>>", tostring(craftingSkillType), tostring(researchLineIndex), tostring(traitIndex)))
end

If you have ideas to improve this addon or have found a bug please either post on the comments section of this addon page or send me a private message.

I hope you like it and find it useful.

Weolo Forum posts: 79 File comments: 563 Uploads: 4	Version 3.6 I just uploaded version 3.6 it will be available to download shortly This adds the last motif for the new life festival, Stalhrim Frostcaster. I have also changed the way that crown store only motifs look on the motifs screen. I have plans to improve these, like making the text shorter to avoid issues in other languages. Right now that release is out it's on to building lots of shiny new features Last edited by Weolo : 12/15/16 at 12:48 PM.

Weolo Forum posts: 79 File comments: 563 Uploads: 4	Hi Cindy Sorry things have gone a little wrong for you. I didn't know about an emergency ESO patch I will see what I can find out about it. I have not changed my addon in a while so if something has gone a bit wrong I am not sure what would has caused that. I do know that if your ESO subscription changes it will affect the research times. I added an option to warn about this if you wanted to use it. The easiest way for you to be confident again about the data the addon is showing you is probably to.. open the TraitBuddy options scroll down to the very bottom where the characters are listed click the delete button next to each character do a /reloadui on the current character log on to each of your other characters This will completely refresh all the data. If there are still problems after that then yes reinstalling the addon would probably be best. If you use Minion it has quick ways for you to do this, just right click on the addon listed. I am glad you like my addon. I have a small update coming when the new life festival arrives in a few days. I have a lot of plans for changes after that, one of which is going to be a much more advanced character management system. Eventually you will be able to flag characters as a blacksmith, woodworker and/or clothier. Just to name a few of the features. And hopefully it will get more powerful from that point on.

mALX Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	12/13/2016 Trait Buddy not working since game update As of today, Trait Buddy is suddenly showing my character still needing to research items that she has already finished researching. The game is showing the information correctly; but Trait Buddy is not. Also; if I go to my other characters and look at one of the erroneous stat boards for another character; some of them are showing correctly and some are showing the erroneous stats. I didn't know if I should uninstall Trait Buddy and reinstall or if you may need to update something because this just started happening right after the game's emergency update this morning. By the way, I absolutely love Trait Buddy for the convenience of being able to look at all 6 of my characters without switching them around. I wish it had a function to flag an item or mat a character needed for research or a writ like the provisioning ones do! Thank you for your assistance in this matter - Cindy.

Thank you for a brief and clear reply!

Alright then, I'll make sure to follow the development of TraitBuddy closely. Looking forward to improvements!

Let me try my best to answer all those ideas

Flagging character professions
The ability to flag characters independently as being interested in blacksmithing, clothing and/or woodworking has been suggested by a few players now. It's something which is much easier to say than it is to code. I will be adding this feature eventually but I am going to have to redesign the character management part of my addon to allow players to easily customise what they want.
Its on my list but I can't say yet when it will be released

Adding in features of Research Assistant
I used Research Assistant myself many years ago. I am not planning on adding Research Assistant features in to TraitBuddy but what I may do in the distant future is build in a full tracking system so players can keep track of any traited items on characters or in the bank to help you know if you have items somewhere you can use to learn those missing traits. I can't say at this stage if that will include a modification to your inventory but it's possible. If it does I will also have to make it compatible with Inventory Grid View.
I will add the tracking system to my list but it's some time off

I hope that covered everything

First of all -- thank you for your addon! Splendidly useful tool, that removes many headaches with researching, esp. with many characters.

Secondly :

Could you give me a little more detail on what you mean?
And when you say "research reminder" do you mean the research tab/screen?

I think he's referring to the tooltip info. Specifically -- adding an option to select which tradeskills are tracked, per character; so, for example, the "Could be researched by" won't show on heavy armour when given character specializes in weapon-smithing.

Which is something I would also love to see implemented.

Going further, I also have another request -- I would like to propose merging some (or all) functionalities of ResearchAssistant into TraitBuddy; the primary reason being the fact that RA seems to have halted development, and while it still remains quite useful, it has it's quirks and is not 100% functional.

The most important function of RA is the item icon, its colour signifying available research; to have that provided by your addon would be be a logical inclusion -- after all, the items are being evaluated in the tooltips already.

Second function of RA, that is currently quite lacking, is the ability to compare all the owned items and suggest if an item with same trait, that you already possess, is better suited for research. Now, I *think* that, in the early days, RA was able to keep track of items on other characters ("mules") and mark the potential research candidates accordingly -- it was pretty much automagical solution, much needed these days as well. Sadly, right now, this functionality gets confused even on a single character, displaying the "duplicate trait" icon on items that have no duplicates, or not displaying it at all.

It all this sound like going too much out of the scope of TraitBuddy -- I was thinking that another (but still functionally useful) solution could be adding an ability to click the X mark in the research grid and set it to "have the item pending", with the icon becoming something else and the information being displayed in the tooptip. It's not a fully automatic solution, but also means that TB wouldn't have to keep a database of all the items on all the characters. Additional function could include : storing a number of items with the trait and perhaps highest level and quality of the item.

Now, I know this is probably expanding the addon out there too much, but please do let me know what you think!

I used to have automatic deletion code in my addon but it caused issues because I added it too early. The ESO code was buggy early on. Now it is more stable so I will consider re-adding it in the future.

To fix that:

Log on to the character
TraitBuddy options > Character Mangement
Click delete for both the duplicate character names
Type /reloadui in chat

This will re-populate all the data for that character.
You will now only see the name once in TraitBuddy options.

I am working on the ability to link items in to chat, its not ready yet. Once I have that working I will consider adding a feature where it will create an email which you could send to your friend.

I use to keep lists handy to remember which character had what trait researched or motif. Your addon let me throw those papers away. I do have one suggestion. Not all my characters know every trade skill. Could you possible create a way to toggle off the skill that the character doesn't need. For example, only one of my characters is a blacksmith. If I could turn off the research reminder for blacksmithing on those characters that don't need it that would be awesome. Thanks for creating and maintaining this wonderful mod.

I have added a feature to "Link in Chat" from the TraitBuddy window for Motifs Style materials Trait materials I tried to do the same for the traited items themselves but hit some technical problems. I will keep trying with those but no ETA when that will be ready.
