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

The Crop Scanner works by targeting plants by name. Therefore it's dependent upon localization which has not been completed for all languages.

If the Crop Scanner doesn't work in your language, please visit the localization page and provide translations.
I will repackage the addon to include the translations and you will be credited for your contribution.

Current supported locales: enUS, deDE, frFR, itIT, ruRU, zhCN

Translations needed: ptBR, koKR, esMX, esES, zhTW

    I've noticed a few problems since 5.2 - firstly the seed bags are showing strange numbers (says things like 74 even though I only have 1 or 2) & if I have my hearth set as the farm, when I log in there it seems that Farmhand doesn't notice I'm at the farm & doesn't display. Reloading the UI and/or flying out of the zone & back in doesn't work. Only way to fix it is to log out and back in.

    The seed bag button should show the total number of charges of all of the seed bags (of each type) in your inventory. If you have two carrot seed bags, one with 7 charges and one with 8, the button for the carrot seed bag will show 15.

    I also have my hearth set to the farm and as yet I haven't seen the issue you describe. Make sure it's happening with the newest version (v1.6) and make sure it happens even if Farmhand is the only addon you have enabled. Let me know and I'll try to help.

    When showing the vegetable icon on the seed bag buttons, the vegetables are shown with a small seed bag icon on the top right side.

    The special seed bags - eg the enigma seed - don't have that indicator

  • #156

    This is intentional just to make it easy to tell a seed from a seed bag if you're using the icon override options.

    You'll also notice that seeds that don't grow into vegetables show their seed icons in place of the bag icon when the option is enabled.

  • #163

    Yeah I've decided no nix it. Not many folks I think will have multiples of the same type of seed bag and as long as you aren't moving them around in your bags it will always choose the same one. It goes through each bag 0-3 starting with your backpack, slot by slot and uses the first seed bag of the given type that it finds.

  • #162

    Yep; I can understand - makes localization a pain.

    Having it pick the seed bag with the lowest number of charges is a "nice to have" I think - if you can't find a way to do it cleanly then it'll be fine.

  • #160

    I think I see the issue now. Should be fixed in next beta. I have to decide whether to keep the "smart" item search. I really don't like relying on scanning localized tooltip text.

  • #159

    I like the idea, its just that the enigma seed bags weren't showing the icon. From testing today I can see that the first seed bag you have displayed on the item bar has the bag icon shown, but other ones do not.

    Thank you so much for the support of seed bags! :)

  • #152

    Works now...thank you !!

  • #161

    Yap...1.6b2 works fine now :)

    Thank you very much!

    v1.5 has the TOC update and the seed bags.

    Beta version v1.6b2 has the Misc Tools (School Bell) support and an option to show the vegetable icon as the button for seeds or seed bags. Most useful for seed bags in my opinion. Very hard to discern the type of seed by the bag icon.

  • #153

    Just tested 1.6b2 - very nice with the cooking school bell, works nicely.

  • #149

    heey i have some bags now for my seeds and there not showing up in your addon can u please add them ^^
