Description
Scrap is a junk auto-seller addon, but it isn't like most of them: Scrap is designed to be an easy to use and intuitive addon, but lightweight at the same time. If you are tired of slash commands and hard configuration, then this is the addon for you!
What is a junk-seller?
Like any other "junk seller", Scrap allows you to create a list of items that you don't need and sell every one of them with a single click at the merchant. By default, gray items are classified as junk and other items not.
Included Addons
- Scrap: The core addon
- Scrap Options: A load on demand options dropdown for Scrap
- Baggins Scrap: Adds Scrap filter to Baggins
- Combuctor Scrap: Adds a Scrap subcategory to Combuctor
Features
- Easy to use
- Customizable junk filters
- Load on demand options
- Option to auto sell junk when you visit a merchant
- Support for Baggins and Combuctor
- Profiles
Usage
- To sell all the junk, click in the Scrap button
- Drag an item from your bags to the Scrap button to add/remove it from the "junk list"
- To open the options dropdown (Scrap_Options must to be enabled), right click in the Scrap button
- If you want to know how much you will profit for selling the junk, then disable the option "Show Help Tooltip" in the options dropdown and then mouse over the Scrap button
This mod is still beta and may suffer drastic changes!
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Samasnier saidI like the profiles feature. There are some things which may be junk to my mage which aren't to my priest (ie Purified Draenic Water).
It would be nice to be able to delete an entry from the junk list without editing the saved variables file. For instance, one might accidently drag an item to the Scrap button and then need to undo it.

Jaliborc saidI'm not saying that the junk lists would be shared between all characters. I'm saying that they could be saved per character. Only the other settings (auto sell; show help tooltip) would become the same to all characters. But thank you for your opinion!
To remove an item from the junk list, drag it again to the Scrap button.

Jaliborc saidScrap Users:
I want to know if you need the profiles feature. If you don't, then I may save the junk list per character and the other setting would become global.
In my case, I never used the feature. Removing the profiles would make Scrap a bit more efficient on load.
So, which is your opinion?

Synnastyr saidWondering if you will add a deletion option for those times when making room in your inventory is a higher priority than selling the items

Jaliborc saidNo, I will not add that feature. At least, not for now. Maybe in a future version.
Thank you for the suggestion!

Jaliborc saidWhen you unziped the files, did you place the Scrap and the Scrap_Options folders in your add-ons directory? You may have placed the Scrap folder that contains the 2 addons inside (happens on Mac, I don't know if happens on PC)
