Research Assistant (Find your researchable items) Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.9.6.1

by: Baertram, ingeniousclown, katkat42, Randactyl

Removed libraries. Please install the following needed libraries as standalone version:
LibResearch
LibAddonMenu-2.0
LibAddonMenu-2.0 - OrderListBox widget

A simple addon that adds a little icon to the list view. The icon only shows up for weapons and armor, and will be ORANGE if you do not have the trait researched. If the icon is GREY, that means you don't need to hold onto it for research! If you have duplicate traits, they will all be YELLOW except for the lowest quality item, which will be ORANGE.

The TEAL interwoven circle icon signifies INTRICATE, and the YELLOW gold pieces icon signified ORNATE.

Features:

Toggle-able crafting vocations so you only see the icons for items you really care about.
Customizable colors
Choose between two different main icons for your Research Assistant.
Ability to track ORNATE and INTRICATE items, and the ability to track them regardless of what crafting vocations you have toggled on or off.
Cross-character research tracking with settings independent to each character! Now you can see at a glance what gear is important to your main crafting character(s)! (You must log in to a character to make the character appear in the dropdown box.)
Optionally select different characters for light and medium armor, and for weaponsmithing and armorsmithing.
Optionally change the order of the inventory "priority": An order list shows the inventory that will be used as preferred "bag to take the researchable items from" at the top, the 2nd preferred below, and so on. Reload the UI after changing this order please!

How does RA calculate if the item is researchable or a duplicate (also researchable but another item with the same trait should be prefered for research)?

ResearchAssistant builds a kind of preference value on each item with a trait and compares the following things:
-quality
-item level
-Set item or not
-where is it (bank, bag, guild bank, house bank) -> This order can be changed in the settings
-slotindex in the bag

All together produce an integer number where the lowest number is the one to use for reasearch (red icon) and all others with a higher number and same trait will be duplicates (yellow).

As the bag where the item lays plays a BIG role here moving it between bags can change this preference value in total and make items marked for research -> duplicate now e.g.

The order of "priority" in the bags is (where lower = will be priorized for research)
So moving items from the bank (which is the best place to put your items for research obviously as all chars can access it!) to your bag will raise the score and therefor the item might become a duplicate now.
You are able to change this order of bags/inventories in the settings.

For developers:
If you used the code that used to be here, please make your new add-ons use libResearch instead!

Function to check if an item (bagId, slotIndex) is researchable with a charcter which is set inside teh ReseearchAssistant settings for the item's crafting type.
Will return true if it is researchable for that char or false if not (or item is not researchable at all).

Lua Code:

local isresearchableByCharFromRAsettings = false
if ResearchAssistant ~= nil and ResearchAssistant.IsItemResearchableWithSettingsCharacter ~= nil then
   isresearchableByCharFromRAsettings = ResearchAssistant.IsItemResearchableWithSettingsCharacter(bagId, slotIndex)
end

If you use the German or French clients, and you see untranslated text, please feel free to contribute a translation on the Comments page!

If you need something to stop you from accidentally destroying your gear, try my (Randactyl)Item Saver add-on.
As an alternative you can also try this addon of Baertram:
FCO ItemSaver

People have been asking me a lot for a sort of grid or print-out for known traits. It was always something I wanted to add but I have never had the time. Stormknight, however, has come out with a wonderful tool called AI Research Grid. You should give it a try if this is a feature you want!

Thanks to these people:
tejón for improving the look and feel and for providing the basis for the algorithm for the YELLOW/ORANGE icons!
Tonyleila and Iphitos for providing German translations!
Ykses, Flagrick, and svan for providing French translations!
Kwisatz for providing Spanish translations!
Carter_DC, for finding and reporting a rare but annoying bug!

Note: This add-on only covers research lines for the BIG THREE (meanwhile FOUR) crafting vocations. This means I will not be implementing known recipes in this add-on. However, if this is something you want, you should give Wobin a visit and download his Sous Chef addon!

If you like what I'm doing feel free to donate something or contact me on the EU servers: @Baertram

- Fixed a bug that only happened with new characters who had never held a traited
item before.
- Added French translations -- thanks Flagrick!
- removed extraneous checkbox from options menu

v0.8.3a:
- Includes the right version of libResearch

v0.8.3:
- Updated to API 100008 (Update 3).

v0.8.2:
- More bug fixes, for ornate jewelry.

v0.8.1:
- Fixed several bugs introduced in last update: showing "research me" icon on
traitless items, throwing errors when jewelery or disguises are in inventory,
"Hide icon for known traits" not working.

v0.8.0:
- Revamped the Cross-Character system completely. Instead of self-tracking being
the norm and cross-character tracking being a special case, cross-character tracking
is the norm, and each category can be set individually to self or off if self-tracking
is desired. This also fixes bugs where indicators were changing color in "weird" ways
while cross-character tracking was turned on.
- Fixed a bug where Intricate and Ornate icons were not being displayed in the right
place in Inventory Grid View.
- Split Leatherworking from Clothier items, and split Weaponsmithing from Armorsmithing
items. These can now be tracked for separate characters, or linked like they used to be.

v0.7.3c
-Fixed an error where add-on was not looking at the first item in inventory.

v0.7.3b
-Hit Ctrl+s on a file this time. Whoops.

v0.7.3
-Updated to LibAddonMenu-2.0r8

v0.7.2
-Updated to LibAddonMenu-2.0

v0.7.1
-Fixed error spam when you own a ring or amulet with an intricate or ornate trait.
-Buffered the EVENT_INVENTORY_SINGLE_SLOT_UPDATE event; this should prevent hanging when using this add-on in tandem with junk management or bank management add-ons that move a lot of inventory.
-Updated to libResearch 1.0r2

v0.7.0
-BIG CRAGLORN UPDATE!
-Wrote and implemented a new library, libResearch. DEVELOPERS: if you previously used my exposed functions, please implement libResearch instead!
-Leveraged new API functions to clean up the code and make it slightly tighter, more performant and (hopefully) more reliable.
-Added cross-character functionality. This is disabled by default and must be configured individually for each character. You need to log in to a character before it shows up in the dropdown box.

v0.6.7b
-Fixed a typo that caused all the weird flickering and resizing issues.
-Before I found the typo, I thought the issue was something else. As a result, the indicator should no longer lag behind when changing filters or adding things to your inventory, and the whole add-on should perform better overall.
-Grid View compatibility requires Inventory Grid View v1.1.0b or later.

v0.6.7
-Added FULL grid view support! If you don't like how it looks, you can turn off the grid view support in the settings. It will still work in list view with this off.

v0.6.6c
-Fixed settings bug again; for real this time.

v0.6.6b
-Fixed some dumb mistakes that prevented the settings from initializing correctly.

v0.6.6
-Stacks of items in the deconstruct window will now always be YELLOW. If it is the last trait of its kind when it reaches a stack size of 1, it will turn orange.
-Profession tracking options are now character specific and have earned their own place in the settings menu. I changed this in such a way that it won't reset the rest of your settings, but the three tracking settings will be changed to ON upon applying this update.
-Added french translations thanks to Ykses

v0.6.5
-Stopped amulets from showing the research icon.
-Changed the saved settings to be Account wide. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR SETTINGS I'M SORRY!
-Added a new setting called "Show researched icon" that will toggle GRAY (already researched) icon.
-Organized and cleaned up the options menu.
-Full German translation (with the exception of the new things) provided by Tonyleila!

v.0.6.4b
-Removed git crap from the zip because I'm a noob.

v0.6.4
-Traits that are currently researching will now show up as known for the purposes of this addon.

v0.6.3
-Added icon tooltip German translation.

v0.6.2
-Added tooltips due to popular demand. They're defaulted to off. You can turn them on in the settings.

v0.6.1c
-Fixed all jewelry showing up (again). Now only ORNATE jewelry should show up.

v0.6.1b
-Fixed traitless items being flagged as orange.

v0.6.1
-Fixed the error with the new version.

v0.6.0
-Improved the algorithm; it should now correctly color duplicates.
-Exact tie duplicates will now arbitrarily decide who is better.
-Exact ties between the BANK and INVENTORY will always show the INVENTORY item as YELLOW, and the BANK item as ORANGE. Exact ties between your personal space and the GUILD BANK will always color the GUILD BANK as yellow.

-Ability to toggle the crafting vocations

-Added "preferred item" functionality. If you have multiple items of a trait you don't have researched, it will be ORANGE if it is the lowest quality (defined by ) of the set, or YELLOW otherwise.
-RED changed to BURNT ORANGE
-GREEN changed to GREY

v0.4.5
-Fixed the issue with stores and banks breaking the add-on.

v0.4.4b
-Fixed the "color" command.

v0.4.4
-Added command "/ra color" to toggle the duplicate item color between YELLOW and TEAL. This should (hopefully) help the color-deficient folks :)

v0.4.3b
-Fixed(?) an error that caused errors to sometimes show.

v0.4.2
-The deconstruction window show now show icons again.

v0.4.1
-Fixed an issue where "duplicates" were not differentiating between different item types.

v0.4.0
-Added YELLOW indicator for duplicate items in the inventory.

v0.3.3
-Fixed the errors that sometimes pop up on startup.

v0.3.2
-Fixed an issue that would make the add-on show indicators on the wrong items under certain circumstances.

v0.3.1
-Fixed an issue where sometimes the windows wouldn't show the indicators.

v0.3.0
-Fixed the "All shields are green" bug.
-Fixed the bug where if you had the trait of an earlier line in a skill known, the later lines would be green even if you didn't know them. Example: You know a trait for daggers but not for swords, both swords and daggers would be green.
-Fixed issue where when you loot an item and open the inventory, the indicators didn't properly update.

You are welcome.

The duplicate item marker is connected to the character who is set in your settings as the "researcher" for this crafting type. And it is not working cross-character.
But as the addon settings are individual for each characater you could easily set the woodworking char to your currently logged in one, which will only have the disadvantage that unresearched items will all be marked with the red icon and you'd need to find out for yourself (if you bank this item for later research) which of your character will research it (if multiple chars still need this trait).

For this purpose you can use addons like FCOItemSaver to "mark" the items with a custom defined marker icon (called: dynamic marker icon) with e.g. the name "Research with char X" and "Research with char Y".

Because the addon doesn't show the duplicates right away, I've been having to switch my Tracked Character back and forth during deconstruction

Yes, and I have exactly explained this in my posts before and told you already that the addon is not able to do what you want.

And I'm not going to change this as it works as intended and I do not want to invest time into this.
Especially as there are several other addons connected to this addon which rely on the current way it works. If I change this here all the others neeed to be tested...I'm just keeping this addon alive and working.

Try other research addons please, there are plenty of them, if this one is not fullfilling your needs.

So my question is:
What do you mean by "first" and what should be changed there with this "first" approach then?

Maybe I'm not using this correctly, so I could be mistaken, but I think first the addon should show whether or not an item is a duplicate (yellow box) before it shows whether or not your character or others can research it (gray/red box).

Example, if in your bank you have two daggers with the Powered trait, and one character already has it researched but the other doesn't, one of the daggers should always have a yellow box beside it - not gray or red - and no matter who your Tracked Character is. It's still a duplicate item no matter who has the research done on it, and it means that it can safely be deconstructed or sold because you'll still have one left of the exact same item to use for research for whomever you want. Or, you can keep the duplicate for researching on multiple characters.

Maybe I've missed something, but I think showing the yellow box/duplicate first before any other colored box is optimum in all cases for the above reason.

Because the addon doesn't show the duplicates right away, I've been having to switch my Tracked Character back and forth during deconstruction just to be able to see the yellow boxes, since the yellow boxes are a lot faster and easier than mousing over every weapon and every armor and trying to memorize which ones have which traits and whether or not I have more than one of them. And then I switch the Tracked Character back in order to see the gray boxes so I know which items I can deconstruct because the other character already knows that trait. I'm a Free 2 Play player so I'm trying to save my precious bank/bag space.

Yes it is able to do so.

From your screenshot I assume that the character showing the first screenshot with 2 gray icons is not your main woodworking character from the settings of ResearchAssistant?
You said you have to change the character in the settings to your currently logged in character in order to show the yellow box, which proofs this.

So your main woodworking character already knows the trait "charged" of these items and thus the icons are gray.

If you change the woodworking character in the RA settings from character 1 (not logged in, knowing the traits), to character 2 (currently logged in, not knowing the "charged" trait):
It wil show you the charged trait for your woodworking character as "yellow" and "red" as you got 2 items, and your char does not know the trait. So 1 is unknown and the other a duplicate.

So my question is:
What do you mean by "first" and what should be changed there with this "first" approach then?

As I tried to explain it depends on your settings of RA. If you set 1 character as woodworking character and it's not the currently logged in one, you cannot track cross chars and cross traits everything you want. You need to finish/concentrate 1 of them first (research all traits) and then change the settings to another character which should be the 2nd woodworker then.

RA is not able to auto switch your character settings based on learned traits and whatever othert criteria.
Maybe another addon like CraftStore etc. is able to help there.

I'm just suggesting that the addon does that first so we can safely get rid of duplicates before we get into figuring out who needs to research what.

Well this cannot be done with the addon as you can only set 1 character as main researcher. If he knows all and your other character should be the next one to research all you need to exchange all crafts from your 1st researcher (which knows all already) to the 2nd new char which should research the next traits.

Complete one and then the other char. Cross researching is only possible with different crafts but not the same.
I cannot just "increase some priroty" here, this is not how it works.
It depends on which of your characters is set to be the "master crafter" for this item's carftingtype (blacksmithing, clothier, woodworking).
You maybe need to try other research helper addons then like CrafStore.

I'm trying not to kill my bank space, so in this process of leveling a second toon with Research Assistant, I need to constantly switch between both tracked characters in the options menu to:

A. Deconstruct unimportant traits that my original researcher already knows (grey boxes)
B. Deconstruct duplicate trait items (yellow boxes)

I think making the duplicate trait yellow box a higher priority would fix this. We already have an item we're saving with said trait, so I feel like it's more useful to show that it can be safely deconstructed right away.

There is nothing to fix

So the rectangle icon is from research assistant.
The other icons are from the base game (vanilla UI), which were added some patches before, and you cannot remove them except with other addons (if there exists any which can do this; I don't know such addons sorry). At least it's no Research Assistant bug or feature.

To sum it up:
You cannot get the look of the screenshot except if you find a way to remove the icons of the vanilla UI.

I did that. That's why I'm here. So if you could tell me how to fix this so it matches your addon screenshot that would be super.

Your addon screenshot doesn't show them, I don't see any option to disable/hide them, and I've searched your addon description and the first ~10 pages of comments for "hide" trying to find out if I'm missing something.
