About Skill Helper
Please join the Facebook group so you can share your thoughts with the developer.
SKILL HELPER
is an add on that was developed to track skill progression. It will alert you when training is required to increase your cap so you don't waste time picking herbs or mining nodes without knowing you aren't getting skill points (among other skills as well to prevent the waste of mats). The add on has its own action buttons that relate to each skill so that you don't have to clutter your action bars or open the profession window to access these. A Mini Map Icon was implemented to perform all slash command actions, but the slash commands are still available:
Skill Helper Slash Commands type /SHelper toggle to toggle the addon hidden state type /SHelper lock to toggle locking type /SHelper reset to reset to default position type /SHelper mmtoggle to toggle the minimap button on/off type /SHelper info to view current build information
Future development for Skill Helper is still under way. Some features that are planned to be implemented include, but are not limited to:
- Skill guides to assist in most efficient paths to leveling your trade skills
- Skill guides to provide path maps and zone suggestions for leveling gathering skills
- Skinning assist that will inform you if something can be skinned before you kill and loot it
- Code optimization
- Quick link button that will allow you to link the skill without having to open the profession window
- Improvements on the action buttons and how they work (including fixing the "Interface action has Failed" error they throw)
I only ask you to be patient as I have a wife, kids, full-time job, college, and 10 85's in my raiding guild. Skill Helper is being worked on actively, but nothing is completed to a point of satisfaction to pass through my own standards.

Hi!, i have a problem, i only see a green bar, and nothing more, how can i fix this ??,
I just wanted to say "Thanks" to LownIgnitus for the work on this addon!
Thank you very much. I was hoping to have additions added to this addon by now, but with college..its been a little hard to play with new code =/
ok wtf? I shift right clicked the SH icon and now it won't come back... wtf srsly?
From the description text above:
"Skill Helper Slash Commands type /SHelper toggle to toggle the addon hidden state type /SHelper lock to toggle locking type /SHelper reset to reset to default position type /SHelper mmtoggle to toggle the minimap button on/off type /SHelper info to view current build information"
I'm trying to get SH to look more like my rep bars. I'd like to remove the thin silver frame, change the bar style, remove the icons and change the progress bar to show green for complete and transparent grey for incomplete. Here's a pic of my reputation bars alongside SH for an idea of what i'm looking for. I don't really see any options for SH or at least, none I can find. Is any of this possible?
http://media-wowstead.cursecdn.com/attachments/425/660/sh.jpg
Im still getting use to the coding, but if i remember right the original aythor pulled the bars that are showing striaght off the Profession tab frame. As of right now Im not working to add options to customize the addons colors.
So just an FYI im working on making an update for SH that adds the current levels for the 6 new Pandarien Cooking branches on a flyout from the current frame on a button click.
This is the first time I am doing a major thing with this addons coding so please allow me a bit to try to accomplish this while squeezing it in between RL matters.
Hello.
Is Skill Helper compatible with ElvUi ? Cause I have a weird behaviour... I have only one bar and nothing else, no writing, no icons and just one, as I have the profession of Herborist and Inscription....
Thanks
Are you using an English Client?
Are there any Lua Errors?
If you could kindly answer these two questions I will try to help you best I can. If I am unable to assist you I will forward the request to the Lead Author.
Hey !
Good news ! You were right about the localization !
First, I tried whith changing only the name of the .blp files, but it didn't work.
And, as you spoke about replacing english name by the translation, I looked into the SkillHelper.lua file. The name of skill are written in english, so I made a copy of the file, and edited it by replacing the name by its translation. And tadaa, it worked !!
So, I think you should put in place a localization file, only if you want to internationalize your add-on...
Thanks a lot !
Edit :
I have a problem with the Fishing skill ("Pêche" in french). I don't know if it is because of the 'accent', but when I put a print(name) in the both functions (shGetButtons & shGetSpell), it returns that skill : Pêche. But it doesn't work when I type it in the LUA file... Maybe if you don't use the name, but the index ? I'm trying to figure it out, but I don't know all the index of the skills... The idea is to have an array with all the skill names in english, ordered by the index (for your BLP files) and then we can retrieve the name in the language of the client... I don't know if it is possible, as I don't know the LUA language for now... What do you think about it ?Edit 2 : Well, after searching on internet, it seems that LUA doesn't like 'accentuation' hard coding. To bypass, the file must be encoding in UTF8... Now, all is working fine.
The French client is most likely where the problem is occuring as Skill Helper wasn't built with any localization. I'll have to discuss this with my new lead author and work out a method to improve upon the localization issue.
In the meantime you would theoretically be able to fix the problem if you're willing to change some file names.
In your World of Warcraft Directory you should be able to navigate to the Interface -> Addons -> SkillHelper -> IMAGES folder.
(...\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\SkillHelper\IMAGES)
In this folder are the locally stored files for the icons on the bars. If you change their skill names to the french appropriate version of the word then it would resolve that issue. Do not change the icon.blp file just the skill related images.
If you're willing to try this out and it resolves your issue please let me know. I had wanted to work on removing the copied images and use the ones that were already stored in the game client, but I hadn't ever found time.
I'll keep an eye out for your response!
No, I'm french, so as is the client...
It doesn't seem so. But as I don't know where to find them, I couldn't answer the best as I would.
If it could help, I'm using the following add-ons too :
Thanks to try helping me...
I'm setting up a new developer to maintain my add ons now that I have stopped playing. I'm going to provide consulting and work with him on both code, debugging, and user support. I hope you all will be as patient with him as you have been with me and offer him the same level of support!
It's been a lot of fun and I don't think it's fair to leave you with a stagnant project because I got bored with a game.
Thought it would be polite to let you all know that I've not been playing for a few weeks now. I gave the Beta a whirl and then just kind of stopped playing.
I have an Annual Pass to ride out so I will still be playing until 10/15/2012, but I can not say whether or not I will actually release any updates at this time. World of Warcraft is still one of my all time favorite games, but I think after 8 years I'm just bored with doing the same old thing with new graphics.
I will keep up with the add ons for as long as I can stand to do it and if I choose to leave WoW I will make them open for development by whoever chooses to pick it up. Who knows... I might complete rekindle my love of the game by then, but at this time I'm focusing on my college, family, career, and developing my own games.
