About Farmhand

Description
Farmhand adds dynamic buttons on the screen while you are at Sunsong Ranch.

The buttons allow quick access to the Plow, Shovel, Bug Spray and Watering Can if they are in your inventory. If you do not have a given item, there will be no button for it. Also adds buttons for seeds that are in your inventory. You can even sell unwanted seeds at a vendor without having to open your bags.

When you leave Halfhill, any tools remaining in your inventory will be dropped. You can pick them up again at the farm. (You can disable this feature.)

A special Crop Scanner tool will let you quickly find any plants you've overlooked that need special attention. (Very hand for the hard-to see Smothered and Runty plants.)

To move the buttons, hold SHIFT and drag a button with the left mouse button.

In the Interface Options panel, you can turn on/off tool dropping, turn on/off chat messages and sounds, turn on/off the portal shard buttons and control whether Farmhand automatically hides itself during combat.

I recommend using Masque (optional) to make your buttons pretty.

Localization
Farmhand has translations for all game-supported locales, but if you see a bad translation please visit the localization page and correct it. Then let me know so I can repackage the addon to pick up the changes.

Thanks to all the translators!

    Great addon, however, I've noticed a small problem with the latest build.  It no longer is displaying my Cooking School Bell as it did before.  Checked the Interface Options and the checkbox wasn't clicked, so tried to click it, but interface wouldn't accept the input.  Not sure if this is an addon problem or a client problem, but wanted to bring it to your attention!

    Keep up great work!

    Hello, thanks for a great addon! :)

    Tested the latest version just now,  and found a minor issue, don't know if it is intended, but I think not...

    So I was harvesting my crops and got more than one "Occupied Soil", however the addon just marked up one of them, using the skull marker. I know that at least in previous versions it marked up as many crops as possible. It seems to be working on infested crops and such (it used 4 markers for me), but it still doesn't use more than one marker if there's only two occupied soils, like I had after harvesting my crops for example. To clarify, it was after harvesting, and before planting new seeds, In case that makes any difference.

    I don't know, is it by design perhaps?

    I would love it if this could be changed, because I find the occupied ones pretty hard to spot from time to time. Also, I read Gularon's reply and I think it's a cool idea, it would be really handy for someone with a memory worse than a goldfish, such as myself.


    Just sending feedback, LOVE the addon! Cheers.

    I love Farmhand and I've recommended it to all my friends and guildies, Blizzard really should have had this UI, or something like it, to begin with.

    May I make a suggestion? I tend to lose track of which of my toons have done the cooking school bell daily. As a quick (local) hack I added a check for the Token quest not having been done yet as a condition for showing the button, but this makes dismissing Nomi annoying (since that makes the button disappear when you finish the daily quest) and obviously doesn't check the Lesson dailies. Instead I wonder if you could add an overlay with a blue exclamation point to the button to signal the availability of Nomi's daily?

    It's working now.  Sending my donation immediately!  Thanks for the hard work getting this addon ready for WOD.

  • #200

    It's not working for me. :(

    Just posting to let you know this addon got so much use by me.  It had so many "duh" features, yet didn't get in the way while not at the farm, amazing.  While I won't be at my farm nearly as much any more, I didn't want Pandaria to fade into history without giving this very helpful addon a mention.

  • #197

    Thanks for the kind words. I try to keep my addons simple and to the point and usually I am inspired to create them because of some glaring omission from Blizzard's own UI. I expect WoD to provide more opportunities. Even if it's just the garrison farm.

  • #194

    Change the first line of farmhand.toc from:

    ## Interface: 60200

    to the following:

    ## Interface: 60000

     

  • #196

    Just to clear up any confusion, anyone can make this fix:

    Close WoW if running.  Open the farmhand.toc file in your Interface/AddOns/Farmhand directory with any text editor.  Make the edit shown, save, and restart WoW. It will work great without needing "load out of date addons" option checked. 

    A small error by the dev that I'm sure will be corrected soon.  Addon works great in 6.0.2 otherwise.

  • #199

    WoW was labeling it as out of date.  Odd, given that you had the toc above 60000 but that's WoW sometimes.  Checking load out of date would allow it to load fine but that's dicy now as so many addons are broken.

    Works now, thanks!  Best farm addon ever.

    One small request:  Please add a seedbag quantity check so the addon will use the ones with fewer charges first if more than one of the same type exists.  Farmhand adds them up and the single button is great but would be nice to use up ones with fewer charges first and free up a bagslot.

  • #198

    Ah yes, I did make an error there. Doesn't seem to have any ill effects for me, though. What are you seeing?

    I'll fix the toc version and republish.
