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?

I can't link any items. It's been like this for months now. I've used and loved this addon for years and it's exactly what I want, a simple way to look up any item and link it. I dont want to have to use AtlasLoot or something overly complex, I love Ludwig. Unfortunately, all you can do now is look up items for yourself. When you shift-click to link, it shows up in the chat-entry box fine. Meaning, if you type /2 Check out this item and then shift click a link in Ludwig, it'll show the link in the text entry box... but when you hit enter to send, nothing happens. No error, nothing, nothing sends. It doesn't even send what you typed minus the link, it does NOTHING.
It's been like this for ages now. Is this addon not being developed anymore? I kept assuming it would be fixed but I have updated with new versions several times now and what seems to be a MASSIVE bug that pretty much entirely negates this addons usefulness is still present.
Please fix! <3
Found a "workaround" for this problem.
If you want to post a certain item search for it via
/lw <name>
and then link(shift-click) the search result.
Worked for me (wanted to post the new wl green fire book).
Hope this helps until this is fixed.
Not even linking via the windows works for me. So for now, this addon does not work at all (for me)Searching the item via chat instead of in the ludwig window works, sorry. Still annoying that the window doesn't work, though
There's a bug with [[item] linking.
Well two bugs really.
The first is that it won't send the message if tab completion was used. By that I mean I type /2 [[someItem] and try and send it and i get no error, but the message doesn't go through either. In fact NONE of your item links work.
Also, there is a rather serious bug with tab completion that makes it rather impossible to use. Take the following item names: "Item AAA" "Item BBB" "Item CCC" . Tab completeion will NOT allow you to type [[Item BBB] It assumes you want Item AAA and there's no way to override it.
If you try and type in Item BBB you get forced to write Item ABB, which obviously does not find the item.
Yes, the [[item]] linking needs to be rewritten. Not only it is quite slow, it could be much smarter.
Just neitehr of the developers had enough time yet. We'll get into it eventually :D

is the window movable? or can u make it movable?
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...

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!
