that would be awesome.

looking at the code i see you want to buy when the stock is 0 ?

it would be better to always have for example 5 balistas and so on.

so >5

That's already in there. You put how many of which item you want in the wishList table.
Just replace "amount" with "quantity" in GetShoppingList function, it's a typo.

[yvette]

ah ok.

and there must be added door and wall repair kits as well

[Ayantir]

I'll try to make something with the code Garkin posted

[yvette]

awesome

we are all looknig forword to it !

[Ayantir]

ok, 1st release, still some debugs here, if some players could try to test and send me feedback here ?

How it works :

• 1st, go in Settings > Extensions > CyroSiege
• The addon monitors the 14 siege items (i didn't added the siege weapon repair kit. Ask it if needed !). It will automaticaly buy your related faction items.
• For each siege material, you enter how much you would like to get in your bagpack
• Then you go to a siege merchant, it will automatically buy stuff, no confirmation, nothing to do. Messages are output to each material the addon buy

For now, I'll output some debug messages, they will be removed / better handled with 0.2 :

From the Garkin code , I added few tweaks :
- It actually buy items if you already got some siege stuff or not
- If your bagpack is full (happens often for me), it will try to buy consumables if they can stack with an existing stack, (didn't tried with 2 stacks of consumables, it won't maybe not work, not yet tested) (people really fighting with 100+ repair stones ?)
- The addon only buy with AP points, not gold. for 0.3, i will add he option
- If you don't have enought AP, Addon will fail (check coming in 0.2)
- I will try to set a better menu options (0.2)
- Don't traduce it, I will put real item names in menus in 0.2 too

0.2 is planned for wednesday depending on your feedback !
Don't hesitate to ask features or anything else, but i would like this addon focused on "siege items management"

Features already planned :

• Handle "I don't got enought AP to buy my items"
• Show an huge alert when entering Cyrodiil if you don't have enought materials (Go to your bank or bo buy them - something like that)
• Implement an option "please i want to keep at least XXXX AP, don't spend it all" (I need my points to be emperor)

Edit : 0.2 is already here !

Here's my entry: Stock Up

Stock Up works for all items, not just AvA items. Stock an item by right clicking it in your inventory and choosing "Stock Item". There is an option to prefer using AP whenever available.

I almost abandoned it when I saw this topic blew up after a few hours of me working, however, I decided to finish as an exercise for myself. Someone may find it useful after all

Stock Up is set up for French and German localization, I just need the actual translations I'll post the strings I need to the translation forum in the morning.
