About Minimal Archaeology

Description

View all your artifacts progress, and solve them in one compact frame. Also you can view all your artifact history neatly sorted by race, and a list of digsites. You can left-click the keystone button to attach keystones (or right-click to remove), or if you prefer there are options to automatically use keystones! You can monitor the artifacts progress, or how close you are to the 200 fragment cap.

Commands

/minarch

  • Info and artifact list for Mantid race

(2012-09-16) v5.0.1

  • (Ticket 21) React on only on the interesting spellcast and only if digsites window is open

(2012-09-15) v5.0.0

  • Updated TOC to 5.0
  • Fixed invisible "Solve" button
  • Added "toggle" command
  • Added Pandaria continent to digsite list
  • Added Pandaren and Mogu races
  • Added Pandaren and Mogu artifacts
  • Skill bar stays visible to 600 skill
  • When checking to solve artifacts, ignore hidden races

(08.11.11)Updated the ToC to 40200, unfortunatly I have not had any time for WoW or this addon and probably won't for a while, if you or someone you know is interested in helping me with the addon send me an email/pm.

(04.27.11) - Artifact progress bars should be more reliable, Added zone information to the Active Digsite Indicator, Fixed crash when MinArch and Blizz Arch were open at the same time, and some more smaller stuff.

(04.15.11) - Cleaned up over 90% of the code so it's possible that I broke something, added a couple new features, including monitoring the 200 fragment cap. Fixed the progress bars, although sometimes the texture isn't applied, ('/console reloadui' usually fixes it). Added artifacts sale price to the tooltip.

(02.09.11) - Fixed bug where Minimal Archaeology would not get the proper information about available keystones. There is still a problem with the artifact bars not being completely accurate...

(01.10.11) - Fixed a couple of bugs relating to history and added Discovered Date and Number Discovered (if relevant) to the main Minimal Archaeology frame.

(01.09.11) - Added a missing artifact to the dwarf history page.

(01.08.11) - Hopefully fixed a couple of small bugs. Added a history frame (who needs the default ui anyway), if I've missed an artifact or made any mistakes with this please let me know.

(12.24.10) - I forgot to update the toc, so this version still reports 12.23.10-2, sorry about that. Small bugfixes, added tooltip to keystone button to indicate available keystones (might need a little bit of work still). Also added keybindings to show/hide minimal archaeology, and to survey.

(12.23.10-2) - Fixed a bug that had and an archaeology icon floating next to the tooltip.

(12.23.10) - The skill bar should now hide when at max level. Added a button to open the default interface. Added a small distinction between fragment progress and progress gained with keystones. Also text for rare items should be colored blue. Added the artifacts icon to the lore tooltip. Small bugfixes.

(12.22.10) - Added the option to scale the Minimal Archaeology frame. Also added an option to wait to solve artifacts before auto-hiding after completing a dig site.

(12.21.10) - I did some major code cleanup, I'll do this every once-in-a-while since I get better as I go, and it makes the code a lot easier to work with. Also implemented an experimental fix for users that were experiencing initializing nil values. Last but not least, I added two new options, one to always start hidden, the other to auto-hide after completing a dig site (I need to expand on this and will). Also right-clicking the minimap will bring up the options panel.

(12.20.10) - Use keystones by left-clicking the keystone button, remove them with a right-click. Options to automatically use keystones.

(12.19.10) - Fixed the issue with the sound repeating. Adjusted the lore tooltip. The frame now remembers what state it was in at logout (so if it was closed when you logged out, it will be closed when you log in). Added an options panel which allows you to hide specific artifact bars, the minimap button and disable the notification sound.

Known Issues

History window sometimes doesn't populate, open BlizzArch History and close it, MinArch should refresh the history (if not, then it will refresh after solving an artifact)

Bars sometimes don't have a fill texture '/console reloadui' sometimes fixes this.

Sometimes bars do not immediately update after completing an artifact, (open/close BlizzArch should refresh it, or wait until you collect a new fragment)

    Generally speaking, love the mod. The only thing I'd ask you consider changing is the sound notification for when a set can be solved. If you have a full set and are just saving it to turn in later (I'm stockpiling most to turn in when I get to 525 via fossils to maximize chance at the epics), it pulses that sound about 6 times when you log in... If maybe it could be set to just chime once or twice? Or perhaps an option to turn it off altogether?
  • #37
    Ok I'll look into it.
  • #32
    .

    Definitely need an option or adjustment in there somewhere...
  • #29
    Really like the mod, i personaly would like a way to have it open automaticly when i cast survey, this would allow me to not have to have it up when im not using it, but not worrying about needing it and not having it ready!
  • #30
    That's a good idea, for now you can make a macro:

    /cast Survey
    /minarch

    I tested it and it worked :)
  • #27
    Any chance of adding LDB support?
  • #28
    There's a good chance, I just need to figure out how and what I'm going to do with it - Also there are a couple of features I want to add first. But LDB support is a popular request I have been getting.
  • #25
    Anyone else getting the following? It only pops up on login, otherwise it seems to work fine for me, though I second (third) the LDB suggestion. Interesting little addon. :)

    That error should be fixed in version 12.17.10-2. If you've already updated let me know and I'll try to figure it out :)
  • #39
    12.18.10 fixed it up just fine. Thanks a bunch :)
  • #24
    You should put another segment to the bar to fit the amount reached with the current stones in the inventory.
  • #17
    love to get a minimap button or fubar button to show/hide this.. and something more then * on items that can fit rune stone in.. possible ability to put them in on this.

    LDB :D

    Agreed, LDB plugin would be great.
  • #23
    I am looking at implementing LDB.
