TraitBuddy  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 9.1.0
by: Weolo [More]
TraitBuddy is an addon that tries to help you easily manage and keep track of what crafting research traits all your characters know. Great for those alt'o'holics out there just like myself.

I have expanded many game tooltips so that the information you want to see is right there on the item where you need it. There is also a custom screen if you prefer to see all the research in one place.

In case you are unsure what an alt is, it is a term to describe another/alternative character.

This addon is for Blacksmithing, Clothing, Woodworker and Jewellery traits as the other professions don't have traits you can research.

The latest version of addon library LibAddonMenu is required and will need to be installed separately.

Features
  • Expanded in-game tooltips:
    Bag, loot, mail, buyback, trade, guild store search, guild store listings, links placed in chat, quest rewards, crafting, equipped items, and motifs
  • See the traits your character and your alts know
  • See the traits your character and your alts are researching
  • Automatically knows when your research has finished. You don't need to log on to your alts for it to update.
  • See the motifs your character and your alts know
  • Research overview screen
  • Compact movable window
  • Allows you to view any of your alts by simply picking them from a dropdown or using an icon bar
  • The screen you see will be just as if you had logged on to that alt
  • You choose which alts are included/compared
  • Customisable icon and text colours
  • Translated into English, French, German, Japanese and Russian
  • Supports gamepad mode
  • Ability to filter motifs, unknown, almost completed etc
  • List of all crafted sets with details of their bonuses and locations
  • Support for other addons such as Inventory Grid View and Inventory Insight
  • Icons in inventory
  • Plus a lot more...
Check out the attached screenshots for a small sample of what the addon offers.

What do the icons mean?
Green Tick
The selected character has researched that trait.

Orange Tick
At least one or more of your characters has completed researching that trait.
But not the currently selected character.

Blue Hourglass
The selected character is researching that trait.

Orange Hourglass
No characters have completed researching that trait but one or more of your characters have started to learn it.

The colours can be customised from the options.

How to set it up
  • Log in to each character one by one so TraitBuddy can automatically work its magic
  • Check out the tooltips on items with traits and motifs
There are 3 ways to open the TraitBuddy window
  1. Bind a key
  2. Use the buttons added to the corners of the crafting stations, skill screen and guild store
  3. Use the chat commands /traitbuddy and /traitbuddyoptions
Use any combination you prefer.
Binding a key is done from the normal ESO options screen
  • Bring up the ESO Options > Controls > Keybindings and scroll down until you see "TraitBuddy Addon"
  • Choose a key you would like to use to show and hide the window
  • Personally I bind the ] key

Info for other Addon makers
Detect when mousing over a trait in TraitBuddy
In your onLoad function
Lua Code:
  1. CALLBACK_MANAGER:RegisterCallback("TB-OnTraitMouseUp", OnTraitMouseUp)
Then add a new function to do your custom stuff
Lua Code:
  1. local function OnTraitMouseUp(craftingSkillType, researchLineIndex, traitIndex)
  2.     d(zo_strformat("DEBUG: OnTraitMouseUp <<1>> <<2>> <<3>>", tostring(craftingSkillType), tostring(researchLineIndex), tostring(traitIndex)))
  3. end

If you have ideas to improve this addon or have found a bug please either post on the comments section of this addon page or send me a private message.

I hope you like it and find it useful.

I don't know why its not doing anything :$
Very odd!
What happens if you run this command, what does chat say?
Code:
/script if TraitBuddy then d(TraitBuddy.ADDON_VERSION) else d("Can't find TraitBuddy") end

That makes no sense :$ if it worked before Horns of the Reach it should be working afterwards like the rest of us.
And uninstalling, re-installing and starting ESO up again it should sort out 99% of issues.
You do only download TraitBuddy from this one page? Only one download

Any error messages come up anywhere?

Any ideas?
Do you use Minion, it's the easiest program and way to install addons and updates?
If the addon is not showing in the list of addons then it won't be availabe in game at all.

Having some trouble - TB was working fun prior to the patch, and now it's not showing up for any of my characters. I deleted the file, downloadded the updated versions, and have repeatedly started and restarted game and just can't get it to show up. It's listed with a checkmark in the list of add-ons but it's not showing up in the crafting windows, via /tb, or in the controls add-on keybindings section.

Any ideas?

No problem I will tweak it and fix it.

Yeah I see the problem, nothing complicated, I will test it now before releasing the fix

Until then I have added older code back in.

Best to log on to your characters again to ensure accurate research times.
Thank you! The Research Tab has returned to its former glory for me. Awesome feature presented in a very visually helpful way for quick glances.

Thank you for the update!

While I can confirm that it looks like the settings are being retained and saved while alting between characters, I'll have to wait until ESO/ZOS fixes the issue with queueing up new research to really validate and get comfortable with everything being in sync.

For now, I trust Traitbuddy for giving me accurate info, and hope ESO/ZOS has some special rewards in mind for making me get behind on my research.

P.S. I really like using TraitBuddy's clean interface, like the direction of some of the recent additions (like notifications), and have a secret dream that it'll grow more features/tabs that will allow me to be less reliant on CraftStore for information one day.
