Curse

atsw keeps freezing wow. i have no idea how to make it stop. it just keeps doing it over and over and over. how can i fix it?

Hi madcowcancer,

you'll have to edit the atsw.lua file yourself and make the fixes described in comments #1833, #1861 and #1882, as sadly the author of atsw hasn't been reacting to any posts / comments for quite a while now.

You'll find the atsw.lua file under the following path: <your WoW directory>\Interface\AddOns\AdvancedTradeSkillWindow\atsw.lua

If you need some good text editors which also show line numbers, then I can recommend either notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) or notepad2 (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html) - both are free.

Hope I could help you.

Cheers.

The fix to line 135 of atsw.lua to prevent atsw from opening with Order by Difficulty (be default) has been great, and prevents WOW from hanging like it did before this fix.

I reported another bug, this time one doing a search by sub-category (boots for a tailoring spec).  It just put up an error log.

The other really annoying bug is when ATSW seems to move the current cursor from where it is, to the lowest item.  If I'm doing runecloth bandages, it tries to go to linen bandages.  If I'm doing LW and crafting leather, it attempts to create light leather (first LW craft ruined leather scraps -> light leather).

 were do i go to edit the Error occured in: Global Count: xx Message: ..\AddOns\AdvancedTradeSkillWindow\atsw.lua line 2339: Usage: GetItemInfo(itemID|"name"|"itemlink")

Hi boy17hot178,

look for the directory in which WoW is installed. There you will find a subdirectory Interface. In that there is another subdirectory AddOns. In AddOns there is a subdirectory AdvancedTradeSkillWindow. Thats where you will find the file atsw.lua.

In short: <your WoW directory>\Interface\AddOns\AdvancedTradeSkillWindow\atsw.lua

Use a text editor like notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) or notepad2 (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html) to edit the atsw.lua file, as these display line numbers.

Hope I could help you.

Cheers.

If you open the trade skill window in default mode FIRST (Hold control and click icon), you can then open the tradeskill window with ATSW!

Hope this helps somebody

After the patch yesterday, I've had to again disable ATSW from the addon menu.  Everytime I hit it, it just hangs warcraft and I have to force-quit and restart.

My suspicion is that this is related to the order by difficulty.  Another good fix in the short term would be to always update to order by pattern/group even if order by difficulty is set, seeing as I can get it to work if I'm not using that config.

I will attempt the patch of line 135 in atsw.lua and report back.

This is happening, even though I've alread made the fix with the line 2339 error. 

Hi redisk and anyone else having problems with the 2339 error:

A while back I posted a fix for this problem (see comment #1833) - and I also posted a workaround for the "Sort by difficulty" game freezes (see comment #1861).

Sadly, the Author Slartibartfast doesn't seem to be working actively on this addon anymore (though I do very much hope he will take it up again sometime), I'd really hate to loose this great little app.

If anybody else has some fixes for some of the other problems (see for instance, flopsygamer's comment #1857 or Trinoo's comment #1873), it would be really great, if you could share them with us :) Maybe by working together we can give this addon a little bit of its old shine back - at least until (hopefully) Slarti takes it up again.

Cheers.

Hi, I have the problem that ATSW despite existing materials does not display the items are produced. There are, for example, 6 gems present, claiming the ATSW window but I can not drag the gem, since the materials are missing, which is not true. One could say he is not reading a current materials

It's actually a Blizzard problem, not ATSW. It'll do the same thing with the default UI. I've had it happen to me, and I've seen posts on the bug forums about it.
