Update 6 info: Please make sure you use at least version 2.1.4 from ResearchBuddy2 and version 4.3.3.1 from wykkyd_core_libraries!

I'd like to ask you to please use the Addon's Portal page to report bugs or request new features. It's much easier for me to track the requests and it's much easier for you to see whether anything is happening with your request or I'm waiting for your feedback about something.

Here is a direct link to the Portal but you can find a shortcut on the Add-on's page right below the Download button as well.

Depends on Wykkyd Core Libraries: http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info7...Libraries.html

sirinsidiator Forum posts: 1578 File comments: 1129 Uploads: 41	Re: Research Buddy v2.0.2a is out! The game still crashes after I searched for something on the guild store and then switch to the listings tab. You might want to prehook TRADING_HOUSE.HandleTabSwitch and put your workaround there: Code: ZO_PreHook(TRADING_HOUSE, "HandleTabSwitch", function(self, tabData) local mode = tabData.descriptor if(mode == "tradingHouseListings") then RB2.unregisterInventoryHook() else RB2.registerInventoryHook() end end) You can get the data for the learned dwemer motifs through the achievement: Code: GetAchievementLink(1144) This will return the achievement link which contains a number that represents all learned chapters: \|H0:achievement:1144:16383:1416772936\|h\|h 16383 = 0x11111111111111 = all 14 chapters learned Code: local function GetLearnedDwemerChapterCount() local link = GetAchievementLink(1144) local parts = zo_strsplit(":", link) local motifFlags = tonumber(parts[4]) local count = 0 repeat if(motifFlags % 2 == 1) then count = count + 1 motifFlags = motifFlags - 1 end motifFlags = motifFlags / 2 until motifFlags == 0 return count end both snippets are untested, so please don't bite me they don't work Other than that it is already looking pretty good and once you fixed the workaround for the crash bug I will try to turn it on permanently

I downloaded it via minion and the files where copied directly into the addons directory instead of a subfolder: fixed the control panel should not show up on first start. This just calls for a collision with other addon windows that do the same (e.g. on character creation). it now defaults to appearing on the left edge of the screen when I open the research knowledge tab, I cannot move the window or push any buttons on the control panel anymore because the window blocks the control panel. I can move these windows 10 pixels to the right, this would mean the left edge of the control panel is always there to click on. But in the meantime I suggest you bind keys to these actions. Using keystrokes is much easier and quicker. the addon windows should either hide when I open the main game menu (esc) or be placed a layer below. This is going to be a setting soon, working on it. You should probably change how the dwemer motifs is marked in the research knowledge tab. I know a few pages, but it shows that I don't know the dwemer style. This is a game API limitation and not me. From the game API perspective you either have the full Dwemer style or none of it. I will keep looking for a solution, but currently this is the best I can do. Dwemer style patterns are only properly visible when browsing your inventory/guild store and only for the active character, cross-character support is not possible yet. seems like the visibility is not remembered at all between ui reloads as it always shows up. fixed also the game crashes when I open the listing tab in the guild store when there is at least one item listed. working on it
