About Ludwig

Description

Ludwig is an ingame item database addon. What makes it different from similar addons? Well, mainly it:

  • Includes all existing items right from the start
  • Searches trough more than 47.000 items in a blink
  • Allows you to easly type any item [[link] into the chat
  • Mostly Load on Demand

Commands

  • /lw or /ludwig - Brings up the search frame
  • /lw <name> - Prints out a list in the chat window of the top 10 items matching <name>

Linking Items

Simply type two brackets followed by the item name and a closing bracket in the end (ex: [[Staff]). Ludwig will automatically convert it into the item link, and make suggestions as you type the name. Handy, isn't it?

    about the search function: some years ago i was able to use the search function of ludwig with german words, now it finds only words in english.

     

    for example: i type in German "Ring des Großwals" --> Ludwig doesn't find

    i have to type in English "Ring of the Great Whale" --> Ludwig finds

     

    i have to know every english word for the german item names, thats pitty

    Because, before patch 4.1, there was no database included in Ludwig itself. It was possible back then to simply query all the information of items that the user already had seen.

    That is not truth anymore. The English item database ocuppies 1.4MB. If we were to include the database of every localization, the download would simply become... well, make the math, it would be enourmous!

    i can read :) but why was i able to use the german search function in the past with german words? and not now? Is it to complicatet or to much (difficult) work to insert the german database in your project? If you have time, it would be nice, that you can do it!

     

    sry for my bad english...

    Please, please, please add a way to simply move the window. Because it always appears at the top-left of my screen, where I keep my Grid, I constantly have to unlock grid, move it aside, and then move it back and re-lock it after. I have desperately searched via google for a way to do this, I've tried every slash command I can think of, but I can't find it. If I'm just a complete idiot and it's blatantly obvious please let me know (I kinda hope that's the case so it's easier for us all), but otherwise, PLEASE add it in.

    Wow, loving this addon.

    I used to use Linkerator from Fizzwidget, then when that broke tried out Lootlink and that just sucked. Then Linkerator was recently reborn as Linkepedia and it was wonderful having that back, but then I found yours!

    I think I'll keep this one. ;-)

    Thanks!

    The list is always empty, the number of search results displayed is, however always correct. The addon used to work, don't know why it's broken now. Three errors, they happen when opening Ludwig and when searching.

    Thank you! At last it is here again! A bit jerky the addon, but finally again a search function for all items. Thank you!

    As of 4.0.1, Ludwig will cease working. There's not much I can do to fix it, beyond making Ludwig store a massive item database :P

    I used to be able to shift click on the tooltip generated by Ludwig, although this may have been another addon working in conjuction with it, I cannot do this anymore.

    Should I be able to shift click items found with Ludwig into chat?

    If not, I've saw you reference a "[[item" method, is there documentation on how to do this exactly anywhere? It's not listed with the rest of the commands in that section on the top of this page, and there's no readme file included with the addon.

    Thanks.

    Shift clicking an item in the GUI of ludwig should add it to chat, provided that you have the chat frame open.
    Linkerator: Open a chat frame, type [[ followed by the name of an item. Type ] to complete the item link.

    Heey!

    Just something I noticedL: I have actually divided my "social"-chat and "General"-chat in 2 separate windows/tabs. The Linkerator function seems to only work whenever I select the "General" tab, not in my own tab.

    Is this a known bug or just me being silly?
