Scripted Auction Post Macro

Messaggio di Flashieme

Hey all,

-Thanks for reading this in the first place-

I'm looking for someone who could fix me either a nifty script/macro or a small addon;
Usually I post stuff on AH rather cheap and I use a boring formula for it.

I tried Auctioneer but prices go way up, and I like to keep them as close as possible to my formula.
What I'd like the Macro/Script/Addon to do is the following;

- Check Vendor Price
(Dependancy of an addon possibly)
- Multiply 'Vendor Price' by 5
- Note that as Buy Out

- Check Current AH Prefixed Bid Price
- Multiply 'AH Prefixed Bid Price' by 2
- Note that as Bid

As I post a lot of auctions atm - and I calculate most prices by hand - I'd like it a bit more easy ;<

Any Help would be appreciated =) <3

Auctionlite works pretty well.

You can set default stack sizes, remember prices, and set undercut bid/buyout prices (current or historical AH prices) or a multiple of the vendor value.

You're not going to be able to do what you want in a script or macro (same thing). Based on your desire to scan vendor prices alone, the character limit will burn you. AuctionLite offers some options in the way you set prices, but I don't know if you'll get exactly what you're looking for.

Well not just that, but there's no direct access to vendor prices via the WoW API. Addons need to keep a persistent database of known prices, like ItemPrice library does. Something like this would really need to go into an addon with the library embedded.

But OP, may I ask why? Vendor price is such a poor choice of a pricing source if you're looking to make any sort of reasonable money.

I'm a big fan or reasonable pricing... I like to sell my items to new players who can't afford lvl 11 greenies for 10g etc.

Neither do I have the need to make a lot of money.. many of our guildies deposit alot to our guildbank so there's no need for massive amounts of gold =)

The only dependancy I'd use would be the one from VendorPrice lib etc. based on that I'd like an automated price filled in.. based on the VendorPrice And a fixed formula... No Auctioneer mod needed to make profit, no need to make gold, just auto fill-in the prices using a formula and an already existing database.

I'd love to script an addon like this myself but my knowledge of Lua is ZERO... ;<

Addons are practically nothing more than a few macros and scripts working together, leaving out the looks of the addon itself.

@ Falcon, for patch 3.2 does that mean WoW's setting up its own database for vendor price? Server-side?

Messaggio di HighFive

Yes. At the moment on the PTR the item price is returned by GetItemInfo.

Messaggio di Flashieme

atleast I get one step closer to my script thingy... however I bet I'd still need an addon to fill in the prices for me, to save me the calculations.

Meh... I wish some addon-writer would pop up by and teach me the very basics of such an addon; I'd love to tinker with it myself and get it working.

(Update)

I found an Auction addon that lets me use the Sell Price (Vendor Price)

Called Auctionmaster

hmm I think I'm being misunderstood :<

I don't want an addon that undercuts searched auctions.. I just want an addon/script/macro to automatically fills in prices based on the vendor price... (x5 for BO, x0.6 for Bid).

:( I appreciate your answers but they're all based on scanning AH and undercutting already existing prices.. and that's not what I'm looking for.

You can set auctioneer to just mark up the vendor price by changing the default pricing method to vendor, changing the vendor markup to 500%, and disabling undercut.

Lul at the 6 months bump.

Wow I didn't even notice that... This is what I get for skimming topics :P

If you're still interested in doing this yourself, I've found the addon 'Hack' to be quite useful in that it allows you to write lua code, much as you would by writing your own addon, without actually creating a full blown addon. Link: Hack

The next step would be to check that API listing at wowprogramming.com and build up your script.

Querying the auctionhouse is not simple though, because you need to request data (with QueryAuctionItems), and then wait for AUCTION_ITEM_LIST_UPDATE to fire, and then call GetAuctionItemInfo. Possibly for multiple pages.

I highly recommend giving it a try though, I've learned heaps by building up a hack page that automatically crafts enough glyphs to fill my bank alt's supply to 10 of each.
You can also learn a lot by going into your addons folder and reading through some of the lua files inside the addons you've downloaded.
