RecipeBook Version 3.1.0 beta 1

Note: interim builds are available at http://home.comcast.net/~recipebook - but be aware, these builds may be buggy and may or may not be compatible with formal release versions.

A RL Note: I work full-time plus and have a toddler. Real Life always comes first. Please do keep me up to date on bugs and requests, but there may be blocks of 4-6 weeks where I don't do anything but work and sleep, no time for code.

Brief description:

Adds information to recipes on which alts know or can learn them. Color codes recipes in the auction house. Allows sharing of recipe data between accounts.

For example:

I have character BetsyRoss, who is a tailor by nature. She knows Pattern: American Flag, but for some reason, I can never remember this when UncleScrooge goes to the auction house to buy patterns.

• Previously, would have to keep a written or mental list of BetsyRoss's known patterns so that UncleScrooge didn't buy her a second copy of Pattern: American Flag on accident.
• Now, with RecipeBook, UncleScrooge can mouse over Pattern: American Flag and see "Already known by: BetsyRoss" right there on the tooltip - or, if he chooses, in a special chat tab just for RecipeBook information.

It's fun! It's helpful! It's easy to use! It's also still in development, so there are a few known issues and some miscellaneous housework to be done.

Usage

/rb or /rbk or /recipebook will all work for slash commands. I am aware that RatingBuster uses /rb. That's what /rbk is for :)

General:

- /rb help : Displays a help message

Sharing:

- /rb send <alt> to <player> : Sends your RecipeBook data for a given alt to another player. Use 'all' as your alt to send all alts you know. Use 'me' to send just your character. Use 'guild' to send to your guild.

Banking:

- /rb bank : Displays your banked items and options for banked items.

Skill Display

- /rb skill : Use /rb skill to open a window which allows you to browse recipes known by alt and tradeskill. So, just in case UncleScrooge were curious, he could type "/rb skill", select BetsyRoss via the dopdown menu accessed by clicking on the "[click to change]" next to his name, and view all her Tailoring recipes.

Searching

- /rb search : Opens the RecipeBook Search Window. (You can also bind this to a key)

- /rb search <item> : Searches for items containing the given string.

- /rb searchmats <item> : Searches for items using materials which match the given string.

Configuration:

All configuration options can be accessed through the RecipeBook GUI: use /rb config to open this, use the minimap icon to open the configuration, or bind a key to it using the "keybindings" button in your main menu.

Known issues:

• RecipeBook only updates its recipe list when your tradeskill window is open. So, if BetsyRoss just learned Pattern: Giant American Flag, she'll have to open her Tailoring window before RecipeBook (or UncleScrooge) knows about it.
• I suspect Enchant Weapon: Unholy Weapon is still broken.

Compatibilities:

=== For mod authors: ===

• The easiest way to add RecipeBook compatibility to *your* mod is to call the following in your tooltip output:

RecipeBook_DoHookedFunction(tooltip, [link]);

- Where tooltip is the tooltip (or tooltip name) you're using and (now optional) link is the item link itself. That will add RecipeBook's data lines.

=== Awaiting compatibility data from WotLK and 3.0 ===

Curse Gaming's Pentarion and Ghandi, for some hard work helping me debug the German client version. Particularly to Pentarion for ongoing translation work.
