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:
  1. local isresearchableByCharFromRAsettings = false
  2. if ResearchAssistant ~= nil and ResearchAssistant.IsItemResearchableWithSettingsCharacter ~= nil then
  3.    isresearchableByCharFromRAsettings = ResearchAssistant.IsItemResearchableWithSettingsCharacter(bagId, slotIndex)
  4. 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

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

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

-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.
-Adding a settings page with a bunch of new options, including:
-Selecting icon texture
-Fully customizable colors
-Ability to toggle the crafting vocations
-Ability to toggle "always on" tracking for ORNATE and INTRICATE


v0.5.0
-Added some of tejón's tweaks.
-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.


v0.2.0

Even if you don't have a category researched, an item will show up as green if it is ORNATE, INTRICATE or has no trait. Please double-check that this is not the case.
Started the game, opened inventory. The first item is a Mace, with the Defending trait, not researched, shows up as green in my inventory. Many items (meaning weapons and armor) have no icons at all.

Closing the inventory screen, using /reloadui and re-opening inventory magically fixes it for some reason. Virtually every time I open a new instance of the game, the first time I open my inventory, it is not correct. It also "screws up" if I look at a merchant, and then look at my inventory, or look at my bank and then my inventory. It fixes itself by using /reloadui and re-opening the inventory.

Does it matter if I use Minion to install/update addons?
No, Minion shouldn't matter unless you're running into one of its bugs (it isn't the most stable thing right now, unfortunately). This is the first time I've heard of it breaking so badly on launch, but it isn't the first time I've heard of the bank/merchants screwing things up.

I will dig into it tonight and try and pin down these bugs. Thanks for the report.

One more piece of information would help me out: for that mace with the "defender" trait, do you have that defender trait researched for any other weapons? Are any of those research lines to the LEFT of the mace line?

*edit: Please confirm that you're using at least 0.4.4, too. I don't think this is the real problem here, but Minion sometimes misbehaves and it's worth making sure.
Yeah, it's the latest version, 0.4.4b. I have researched nothing with defender, and nothing on the mace (yet). It's strange, it only happens on startup. It just so happened that that's as far as I was going to check - it works great once I get past the initialize.
That's good to hear, but the fact that it's broken even a little bit on startup is worrisome. Glad to hear it isn't as unreliable as you initially stated. Either way, please let me know if you notice more issues.

Still going to look into this. I need to actually PLAY some so I can collect some gear for the research assistant to actually flag :P

If you could perhaps make the color difference a bit more notable that'd be greatly appreciated.
I just uploaded a version that adds "/ra color" to toggle between YELLOW and TEAL. This is also saved in the addon's persistent settings. Please let me know if this works for you! If it doesn't work, I need a bit of guidance because I know nothing of color deficiency.
Teal works great, at least for the type of color deficiency I have. I really appreciate the reply and the work you put into doing that.

Amazing Addon, Only One Flaw

This addon makes loot/research management really nice. Overall, very good work. Thank you for the multiple items with the same research topic. Makes this addon perfect.

Re: Nice addon ...

Ahh this is frustrating. I keep thinking I've squashed this issue once and for all but it keeps popping up!

If you could give me more details on when you notice this happening, it would be very helpful. Does it only happen when you start selling things? Or does it just happen on the merchant window? I haven't really noticed any issues in the bank either, but I don't have very many research items...

Have Fun


UPDATE:
Tried the newest version 0.4.4 but the display still gets messed up when you talk to merchants.

Question Color Items in a Set or Manual Color?

I have no idea if either of these ideas are possible ...

It would be great to also color items which belong to a set as defined through the Wykkyd's Outfitter addon. (only addon like this I know of so far).

Alternatively, if there was a way to (right click?) and choose to manually color items.

My idea is to use Blue to color "set" or "manually assigned" items...

Thanks btw, this is one addon I'm using constantly every time I play; great idea and implementation!

Great helper

Thanks for this add-on, Ingeniousclown, it's very helpfull!
I have an idea for small improvement (and actually I done it in my copy of add-on).
There are two non researchable traits Ornate and Intricate. One is best to sell and another is best to deconstruct. For now they always displayed in green. It may be nice to highlight them with slightly different colors.
