Alt Tracker Helper

Alt Tracker Helper — Changelog
[0.8.29] — 2026-10-15
Added — Craft profit across alts
One window for the character you are logged into, listing crafts that make gold from the last Auctionator scan.
Craft Profit button on the main window, or `/at profit` (`/at crafts`).
Every stored character and profession is included. Click a row to open that character's professions.
Profit is sale after the 5% auction house cut, minus reagent cost. If a vendor pays more than the auction house, that sale price is used and the row is tagged `(vendor)`.
Recipes with a missing reagent price are left out, so a gap cannot look like profit.
Mats line shows how many reagents that character already has, and how many the whole account has in bags or bank.
All alts / This character toggle. Opposite-faction alts are hidden once you have logged into them with this version (their auction house is not yours).
Filter box matches recipe, profession, or character name.
`/at profit chat` prints the top 8 in chat.
Still required
Auctionator installed, and a full scan on this faction's auction house.
On each alt, open the profession and click Scan Recipes (ranks alone are not enough).
The existing profession window still shows pre-cut sell minus cost on each recipe row. The new window is the one that applies the auction cut.

[0.8.28] — 2026-10-04
Added — Recommendation mode toggle
Cycle button on the professions recommended banner:
Mode    Priority
Profit    Best AH resell / profit
Skill-up    Recipes that still give skill (orange → yellow → green); grey last
Hybrid    Profit + skill-up + mats you already own (default)
Mode is saved in `AltTrackerDB.craftRecommendMode`.
Banner refreshes immediately when you cycle.
Skill color tag shown on the recommendation when known.
---
[0.8.27] — 2026-10-04
Added — Craft from professions window (Phase 5)
Craft button on the recommended banner.
Click a recipe row to craft that recipe.
Uses Forever `C_TradeSkillUI.CraftRecipe` when available; falls back to classic `DoTradeSkill` / `DoCraft`.
Requires the matching profession window open in-game (and out of combat).
Clear chat messages if the profession is closed, wrong skill is open, or the recipe is missing.
Enchanting: after Craft, click the target item as usual.
---
[0.8.26] — 2026-10-04
Changed — Manual recipe scans only
Opening a profession window no longer auto-scans recipes.
Use Scan Recipes (or `/at recipes`) while the profession is open.
Rank updates still run on profession open / skill changes.
Added — Refresh Ranks button
Refresh Ranks on the professions window updates skill ranks for the logged-in character.
Added — Recommended next craft (Phases 3 + 4)
Banner above the recipe list suggests the best craft for the selected profession.
Scoring uses Auctionator profit, skill-up color, and mats you already own (bags + bank from Alt Tracker data).
Recommended recipe is marked with ★ in the list.
Detail line shows cost → sell and mats owned (e.g. 2/3).
---
[0.8.25] — 2026-10-04
Added — Profession AH prices & craft cost (Phases 1–2)
Requires Auctionator (soft dependency) and a recent AH full scan.
Phase 1 — Sell prices
Each recipe row shows Auctionator AH sell price (or profit when cost is known).
Tooltip includes AH sell when price data exists.
Phase 2 — Reagents + craft cost
Recipe scans store reagents (item id/link, count) for Classic TradeSkill, Craft (Enchanting), and Forever `C_TradeSkillUI`.
Tooltip: craft cost, profit, and per-reagent costs.
Row right column: green profit / red loss when complete; gold sell price when cost incomplete.
Professions window slightly wider; updated hint text.
Action required
Enable Auctionator and run a Full Scan at the AH.
Open each profession → Scan Recipes (re-scan to capture reagents).
Open Profs to see prices on recipe rows.
Notes
Auctionator is optional; professions UI works without it.
Phases 3–4 (recommended banner, bag-aware) come later.
---
[0.8.24] — 2026-10-03
Changed — Ellesmere-inspired modern look
All windows use a dark flat panel style instead of classic DialogBox borders.
Thin 2px border, near-black blue-grey fill, darker title strip.
Soft gold accent line under the title and gold-tinted title text.
Minimal × close button (hover brightens).
Gold Tracker summary strip and list rows match the same dark palette.
Opacity slider still controls panel transparency.
---

[0.8.23] — 2026-10-02
Added — Accountant-style gold tracking (all phases)
Automatic income/expense tracking by source, multi-period totals, and a dedicated Gold window.
Tracking
Listens to `PLAYER_MONEY` and categorizes deltas from context events:
Merchants, Repairs, Taxi, Training, Auction House, Mail, Quests, Loot, Trade, Other
`CHAT_MSG_MONEY` for shared party loot (avoids double-counting)
Baseline priming so existing gold is never counted as income
Session reset on login; Day / Week / Month / Year rollover with previous-period slots
Optional zone tag on each transaction (`db.accountantTrackZone`)
Recent transaction log (configurable length, default 40)
Periods
Session, Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month, This Year, Last Year, Total
UI
Main window Gold button and per-character Gold button
`/at money` (aliases: `gold`, `accountant`, `acc`) opens the Gold Tracker window
`/at money reset` clears the current session totals
Window modes: Categories, Recent, All Chars
Period tabs, session gold/hour, signed in/out/net coloring
Character list shows session net next to gold; tooltips show session + today
Export
Summary export includes session / today / week / total in-out-net per character
Settings (SavedVariables)
`accountantWeekStart` (1=Sun … 7=Sat, default 2=Monday)
`accountantTrackZone` (default true)
`accountantKeepRecent` (default 40)
DB version bumped to 7
Notes for Forever
All new events registered with `SafeRegisterEvent` (unknown events ignored)
Safe for Interface 16001 / launch
---

[0.8.22] — 2026-09-29
Fixed — Reputation scan empty
Expand collapsed faction headers before scanning so child factions are visible.
Support C_Reputation (Forever / modern) plus classic `GetFactionInfo`.
Opening Rep on the current character auto-rescans.
Rescan button on the reputation window.
Clearer empty-state instructions.
How to populate
Log into the character
Open Rep (or click Rescan / main Scan Now)
Factions should list with standing + progress
---
[0.8.21] — 2026-09-29
Fixed — Profession recipe icons
Recipe scans now store icon (texture path or file ID) and itemID when available.
Classic: `GetTradeSkillIcon` / `GetCraftIcon`, plus item link fallbacks.
Forever / retail path: `C_TradeSkillUI.GetRecipeInfo` `iconFileID`, output item data, and item icon APIs.
Professions list uses stored icons first, then itemID / link lookup, then `?` only as last resort.
Action required
Re-scan each profession on each character (open the profession window → Scan Recipes or `/at recipes`). Old recipe data had no icon field.
---
[0.8.20] — 2026-09-29
Changed — Professions window (TradeSkill-style)
Left profession tabs with trade icons (Alchemy, BS, Enchanting, etc.).
Main panel styled like a profession frame: title, skill rank bar, recipe count.
Recipe list rows with icons, difficulty colors (grey/green/yellow/orange/red), hover highlight, and tooltips.
Filter box to search recipe names.
Scan Recipes stays available for the selected skill.
Wider window layout closer to the in-game profession UI.
---
[0.8.19] — 2026-09-29
Changed — Bags / Bank inventory window
Each item row shows item icon, rarity-colored name, and stack count.
Quality border on the icon (Uncommon+).
Tooltip on mouseover (`SetHyperlink`).
Hover highlight on rows.
Shift-click an item to fill Search / Shopping when those windows are available.
Slightly larger window and taller rows for readable icons.
---
[0.8.18] — 2026-09-29
Added — 3D model in equipment window
Center DressUpModel / PlayerModel in the paper-doll area.
Current character: live `SetUnit("player")` model with your gear.
Other alts / gear sets: base model + `TryOn` for each saved item link (approximate body).
Left-drag to rotate, mouse wheel to zoom, right-click to reset camera.
Hint text under the model; safe fallbacks if the client has no model frame.
---
[0.8.17] — 2026-09-29
Changed — Gear sets side panel
Inset side panel with tooltip-style border so sets read as part of the equipment window.
Vertical gold divider between paper-doll and sets.
Header with live set count.
List rows use compact highlight selection (not chunky panel buttons); selected row is gold-tinted.
Per-row × delete control with tooltip.
Empty state: “No saved sets yet.”
Save block nested at the bottom of the same panel with matching chrome.
Mouse-wheel scroll on the set list.
---
[0.8.16] — 2026-09-29
Changed — Equipment window (paper-doll style)
Empty slots use PaperDoll silhouettes (`UI-PaperDoll-Slot-*`) with fallback to `UI-EmptySlot` if a texture is missing on Forever.
Center background behind the slots (character-page texture with soft parchment fallback).
Soft class-color tint on the center panel based on the character’s class.
Thin quality borders on filled slots (Uncommon+) using normal blend — not the bright ADD glow removed in 0.8.11.
Slot name labels hide when equipped; empty slots still show the name and a simple tooltip.
Slightly tighter slot spacing; weapon row centered under the paper-doll area.
Gear window height adjusted to fit the new layout.
Notes
If a texture path is missing on your Forever build, the UI falls back automatically so the window still works.
---
[0.8.15] — 2026-09-26
Added
Shift-Left-click on items in the Alt Tracker equipment window fills the main search bar (same as bags/character panel).
Tooltip hint on gear slots: "Shift-Left-click: Search this item".
---
[0.8.14] — 2026-09-26
Fixed
Shift-left-click into search still failing on Forever: hooks now use a global `AltTrackerHelperUI` table for frame refs.
Broader capture paths for item links into search / shopping.
---
[0.8.13] — 2026-09-26
Fixed
Shift-click into search scope issues.
