Hotep® Crafting Freelancer  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.03
by: tomtomhotep, YesImBattman
This addon lets you become a Custom Equipment Crafter for Hire!

Features:
  • Periodically advertises your services on Zone Chat.
  • Takes orders from customers using an automated chat interface.
    • Automatically mails them a receipt when they complete their order.
  • Lets potential customers request pricing lists, and automatically mails the lists to them.
  • Allows customers to provide their own crafting mats for a discount (if you configure that option).
    • When option is enabled, the customer is prompted if they want to provide their own mats
      • If they answer yes, the addon mails them the list of mats needed for the order, including the per-unit discounts for each mat.
  • Allows you to require deposits from customers if their order total is above a threshold you set (if you set one).
    • Automatically mails the customer a request for the deposit amount (if they owe one), and
    • Automatically detects when you receive the deposit.
  • Lists your Waiting, Started, and Delivered Orders on the main window.
  • Displays the order you're working on, and the materials needed to complete it.
  • Helps you get needed materials from your Mule Toons (if you have any).
  • At any crafting station, it shows you the items you still need to craft at that station.
  • Chat message tells you when you've completed your order.
  • Automatically mails the ordered items (COD) to the customer with a few clicks.
  • Keeps track of your total sales and profits. *
  • Integrated with FCOItemsaver (to auto-mark items crafted for your order).
  • Addon Settings Panel has a full list of optional Slash Commands.
* NOTE: For now, if you want to keep track of your profits, you have to manually enter
your crafting mat purchases in the "Add New Purchase" window.









Set-Up:
  • Use the addon settings panel to set all of your selling prices and fees.
    • NEW: If you have LibPrice installed, you can use any Pricing Addon to automatically set all your selling prices and fees.
  • All prices and fees are set on a per-unit-of-material basis.
  • You can also set Per-Order and Per-Item Labor Fees.
  • The addon does the all the math to calculate the final prices of items, and the Order Total.








WARNING!!
When using the addon settings panel, be aware that the
mouse wheel will CHANGE THE VALUES of the sliders!
So when you scroll up and down the settings panel,
BE SURE to position your mouse on the vertical scroll-bar to
the far right of the panel, far away from where the sliders are!!!!!









Pricing Example:
Lets say a customer places an order for 1 item:
Level 6 Iron Axe, Fine/Green, Training, High Elf Style, non-set item, no enchantment.

That requires 5 Iron Ingots, 1 Adamantite, 1 Carnelian, and 2 Honing Stones.
(Assuming your Blacksmithing Improvement Passive is maxed. The addon checks your passives.)

Now suppose you set your Iron price to 5g (Under Metal Weapons),
your High Elf Style Fee to 15g, your Training Trait Fee to 10g,
your Green Blacksmithing Improvement fee to 20g, your Per-Order Labor Fee to 500g,
and your Per-Item Labor Fee to 100g.

Then the addon would calculate this item's Base Price as:
(5 * 5g) = 25g

And the addon would calculate the Item Fee as:
15g + 10g + (2 * 20g) + 100g = 165g

So the Item Total would be 190g, and the Order's Grand Total would be 690g.

    • No known bugs.
  • ~~~ Cosmetics, Linens & Accessories ~~~

    • Reminders for over-due orders.
    • Make "mule window" work for withdrawing from Housing Storage.
  • ~~~ Games, Dolls & Statues ~~~
    • Support in-person trading window for order delivery & payment.
    • Recognizing glyphs for the enchantments needed for the items.

I'd really love to use this but it's incredibly overwhelming opening up for the first time. I'll work through it but some sort of guide or first time use would be really handy.

That's exactly the next thing on my list to add!

I've just been so busy lately with all those Events, plus some IRL stuff, and working on another addon that I desperately need and can't find anything suitable already written.
Awesome! I'm definitely keen to see that!

I have, but (as programs can't understand spoken language), the customers would have to specially format the mail body so the addon can parse it. With field delimiters and record terminators, similar to an ANSI x12 format file:

Code:
heavy#head#sturdy#Epic#Militant Ordinator#Kagrenac's Hope#Health$
1h#sword#nirnhoned#Legendary#Xivkyn#Kagrenac's Hope#Absorb Magicka$
With all the fields in the correct order and no misspellings.


However, since the beginning, I've been planning to write a companion addon that frequent customers can use to create an order (using the same interface as the "Enter New Order" feature) and send it in exactly this way to a crafter using this addon. My intention is to see how popular this addon becomes before writing the ordering companion.

Thanks for the bug reports. I'll take care of them as soon as I can.

I don't think so. From the screenshot, it looks like the addon was waiting for a customer to send mats for an order, and the addon got confused by a Hireling mail.

... or is Nelysia a customer that was sending you mats?

Few issues/bugs.

Hey there,

Just had a few issues today taking orders.

Firstly, customer tried to edit an item in the cart which triggered a ui Error. he was trying to change the Style type for an item.

Code:
user:/AddOns/HotepCraftingFreelancer/libs/HotepOrderTaker.lua:181: operator - is not supported for number - nil
stack traceback:
	user:/AddOns/HotepCraftingFreelancer/libs/HotepOrderTaker.lua:181: in function 'deduct'
	user:/AddOns/HotepCraftingFreelancer/libs/HotepOrderTaker.lua:214: in function 'EditItem'
	user:/AddOns/HotepCraftingFreelancer/libs/HotepOrderTaker.lua:973: in function 'fun'
	user:/AddOns/HotepCraftingFreelancer/HotepCraftingFreelancer.lua:3635: in function 'HotepCraft.TakeAnOrder'
	user:/AddOns/HotepCraftingFreelancer/HotepCraftingFreelancer.lua:4417: in function 'HotepCraft:OnGotOrderingResponse'
	user:/AddOns/HotepCraftingFreelancer/HotepCraftingFreelancer.lua:1303: in function 'HotepCraft:OnGotChat'
	user:/AddOns/HotepCraftingFreelancer/HotepCraftingFreelancer.lua:11577: in function 'HotepCraft.OnChatEvent'
Secondly, the mail scanner doesn't seem to pick up that I've selected an incoming mail. This may be a conflict with another addon and I'll keep working on it on my end, but thought i should let you know

In this case I do not need the auto advertisement part of the addon.
Actually, I've been wanting to add that myself for awhile now!

It will be in the next update.

I should be able to find and fix that today.

Fixed!
That must have been it, don't think I've had a single error since that fix. Hurray
Thanks!

Different line this time though, 299 as opposed to 221.
My SV file is now 27kb as opposed to the previous 26kb.

Here is what line 299 is for me:


I did not get the "[HotepCraftingFreelancer] Loaded in order-taker mode." message upon logging in, despite getting those same similar messages from other addons.

Cheers!
If you get a similar error message, open the saved variables file without logging out or reloading ui and copy paste the whole saved variables file. That will get what it looks like before the game wipes it.

Unfortunately I don't have that specific SV file any more since deleting/uninstalling/reinstalling has been one of the steps I've been trying to remedy this.

I didn't notice if it loaded in order-taker mode or not.
I do believe it's always been Line 221, but I'm just trying to recall from memory.

Now that I'm here/registered and posting about it, I'll take much better note of any errors that pop up.
About to have another go at it with a clean install
