About HandyNotes_Vendors

Overview

HandyNotes_Vendors allows you to track Vendor locations in HandyNotes. This is sister project to HandyNotes_Trainers which can help you track Class and Profession Trainers and HandyNotes_CityGuide which can help you track bankers, auctioneers and other important NPCs.

HandyNotes is base addon allowing other addons add icons to your worldmap. HandyNotes_Vendors is addon adding one icon for each Vendor you visit. Each Vendor has one of three different icons so you can easily find proper vendor for you.

  • Food icon for normal vendors
  • Anvil icon for vendors which can repair items
  • Hearthstone icon for innkeepers

Frequently asked questions

Why it doesn't work?
Please check if you have HandyNotes installed. Also note HandyNotes_Vendors doesn't come with preconfigured database. You can help me create one by sending me your SavedVariables file to my email: zarevak [a] gmail [point] com
Will it work with my Map addon (Mapster, Cartographer, ...)
Yes, it will. HandyNotes are written independently on any Map addon and if your addon doesn't screw up, it will work.
Will it work with Cartographer?
Cartographer notes use Cartographer_Notes addon as base for its note system. HandyNotes are using their own system independently on Cartographer. HandyNotes icons will be shown on your Cartographer, but they won't be available to addons working with Cartographer notes.

Planned features

  • More detailed vendor types: Food & Drink, Poisons, Ammunition, Reagents
  • Filters to display only vendors of certain types
  • Favorite and Meaningless vendors, which you'll be able to filter independently on category filters

    Just an FYI that the latest release (v1.6.3) has actually had the TOC set to 40300 instead of 40200! For anyone using "Load out-of-date addons" then it should still load, otherwise it shows as "Out-of-date" and won't be loaded.

    Probably is dead but maybe someone can take it over and fix it. I have an error right right here:

    I just re-installed HandyNotes_Vendors r80, along with HandyNotes r224 which was also just released.

    HandyNotes_Vendors didn't show up in the HandyNotes options plugin tab. I looked at addon.lua and saw that it was still pointing to Astrolabe 0.4, so I changed it to point at Astrolabe 1.0 (local Astrolabe = DongleStub(“Astrolabe-1.0")). That fixed it so that Vendors now showed up in the HandyNotes options plugin tab.

    Unfortunately, that was all that was fixed as at no time would vendors actually show up on the maps. Obviously there's something else in addon.lua that does not like the latest update to HandyNotes. I wish I had an error message to show you, but there aren't any being generated. Other than getting it to show up on the options plugin tab, the addon currently just doesn't work.

    I got an Interface action failed because of UI AddOn message. When I turned on taintlog, it started with

    12/18 07:28:56.558 Global variable UIDROPDOWNMENU_MENU_LEVEL tainted by HandyNotes_Vendors - Interface\FrameXML\UIDropDownMenu.lua:38

    I can get you the complete log if you want.

    Other vendors who get added to many places are the Kalu'ak vendors in their ships. Got vendors marks all along the way :o

    Well, since Handynotes_Directions doesn't work at all these days, can't you please reconsider adding auctioneer and banker?

    Hi callie510,
    currently I'm not playing WoW, but I've released an Alpha version of HandyNotes_CityGuide on wowace site: http://www.wowace.com/projects/handy-notes_city-guide/

    HandyNotes_CityGuide displays icons for: Bankers, Guild Banks, Auction Houses, Stables, Battle Masters and Spirit Healers

    AFAIK for the download you need be logged in. Try logging in with your Curse login - wowace.com and curse.com is one company

    i noticed a problem with the travelers mammoth venders. The problem is, they get added, heh. This gets messy real quick when you got bogus venders being added every where you travel, Some kind of exclude list needs to be made for them.

    I don't know horde names but alliance venders are:

    Hakmud of Armus
    Gnimo

    Hello
    I had not believed that tool tips of different Addons should be summarised, but whether it was possible the tool tips of the trainers if they overlap can be summarised and accordingly this also with the Vendors. Thx and Sry for the double post
  • #17
    Hello
    In the Addon Cartographer_Vendors or also in Gathermate the Tooltips of the Map-Symbols, which are close to each other or which are overlapping, are summarized in one big Tooltip in which all the several Tooltips are included.
    So you can read all of them at once.
    Would it be possible to realise this feature in your Addon Handynotes_Vendors and Handynotes_Trainers,too? Or is this a problem of Handynotes itself?
    Thx and a happy New Year!

    Hi, first rule of commenting: don't cross post - as an author of both addons I'm checking both addon pages for comments. Your comments are heard even when posted just once.

    Now to your question: The underlying HandyNotes specification doesn't support combining results from multiple addons into one tooltip. This is because each addon is creating its own tooltip and HandyNotes doesn't know anything about it.
    Solution ideas:
    1) Enhance the HandyNotes specification with this problem in mind. I've asked before and it is not likely to happen.
    2) Create patch for HandyNotes, which would do Google Earth like magic when the icons are congested: move them apart with lines pointing back to the original location. I haven't tried it yet and I'm not sure if it will work with HandyNotes_FlightMasters.
    3) Create special optional man-in-the-midlle addon with enhanced HandyNotes specification which will solve this issue for addons supporting it. This is probably the way I'm going to use, but currently I have more important tasks to do (international support and filters for HandyNotes_Trainers - only enUS/enGB and deDE work properly)
    4) Any other idea?

    Received following talking to an innkeeper that didn't sell any items. Unfortunately now i don't recall which innkeeper this was because I forgot to take note of it when it happened.

    Happy Holidays ;-)
    Thank you for the report. I've added a nil check to guard from the error, but the Innkeeper won't be added to your notes. If you find him again let me know and I will try to investigate further.
