HappyBooster

A focused boost-run tracker for WoW Classic Era and Retail. Count runs per customer, track the gold per dungeon, and never lose track of who paid for what. Designed by a boost seller, for boost sellers — and the people who buy from them.

Why HappyBooster

If you've ever lost track of who has runs left, accidentally given a free run, or had a customer ask "how many do I have left?" mid-dungeon while you're spamming AoE — HappyBooster solves all of that. Counts are tied to each player's name and persist across logins. Pill badges sit on every party/raid frame so the answer is always one glance away.

Features

Two modes — each per character

• Booster — track each customer's remaining runs, see counts on their frames, decrement on every run.
• Boosted — you're the customer, track your count instead. A single clean self-row, an Add Runs button, and one-line announces to keep your booster in the loop.
• Mode is remembered per character. Your booster main and your boosted alt no longer toggle each other back and forth on relog.
• Chain-boost friendly — if you're both selling AND buying in the same run, both counts decrement.

Run detection that doesn't miss

• Instance reset — counts the run the moment the leader resets, whether you receive the system message (resetter) or only see the group-chat announcement (everyone else, including NIT broadcasts).
• Inside-instance reset — the "party leader has attempted to reset" notification that fires for non-leaders still inside the dungeon now counts too.
• No NIT? Still works. When a leader resets while everyone is outside and there's no chat broadcast at all, HappyBooster reads the instance ID embedded in mob GUIDs to detect a reset on re-entry. Same signal NIT uses internally — works as a standalone addon, integrates if NIT is present.
• Smart leave — HS for repair? Vendor break? No false counts. 90-second grace window: returning to the same instance is silently ignored. If 90s elapse without return, a popup asks Did that run finish? Yes / No.

Smart trade detection

• Auto-detects gold received (or paid) when you complete a trade.
• Suggests the right run count based on per-dungeon pricing.
• Hard-blocks underpayments by default — no confused 1-gold trades counting as 10 runs.
• Top-up logic: trading an existing customer adds to their remaining runs instead of overwriting.

Per-dungeon pricing (booster mode)

• Set a price per dungeon (e.g. SM = 12g/run, BRD = 50g/run).
• Built-in abbreviations: SM, BRD, ZG, MC, ZF, Mara, BFD, RFC, SFK, ST, Strat, Scholo, and more.
• Override the auto-detected dungeon with /hb selling <dungeon> when you need to.
• Edit prices in the Settings panel with one click — auto-saves when you click away.
• Per-customer gold-per-run rate stamped at trade time, so the tooltip can show Remaining runs: 3 — Remaining gold: 36g accurately even when you switch dungeons mid-batch.

Customers

• Pin trusted regulars by clicking their name — pinned customers survive Clear list.
• Lifetime memory — hover any customer for total trades, runs bought, and gold across all sessions.
• Pill badges on every party/raid frame, with on-pill pulse animation when a customer hits 0.
• Red row tint in the window when someone needs trading. Alphabetical sort, no row reshuffling.
• Your own alts are filtered out — log into any character once and the booster-mode view of your other chars stops treating them as customers. /hb alt <name> flags one manually if you can't log into the alt.

Announce

• Top-left Announce button posts current standings to party/raid chat.
• Booster mode — Recount-style header + one customer per line:

HappyBooster >> Maraudon -- runs remaining:
- Grieffindor: 5 left
- Xénia: 10 left
- Tokyotea: DONE - pay for more!

• Boosted mode — single line that tells your booster where you stand:

HappyBooster >> 3 runs left in Maraudon.
HappyBooster >> 1 run left in Maraudon -- last one!
HappyBooster >> Out of runs -- need to pay for more!

• Optional auto-announce (boosted mode only). Settings → "Auto-announce 'last run' and 'out of runs'". Fires exactly twice per boost batch: when you hit 1 run left, and when you hit 0. Silent on every other run. Off by default. Designed for the moments that matter — no chat spam, no panic.

Session totals

• Live footer under the customer list shows "Session: 5 runs — 230g earned" (booster) or "Session: 3 runs" (boosted). Resets on every login.

Compatibility

• Default Blizzard party/raid frames (both classic and compact).
• ElvUI, Shadowed Unit Frames, Pitbull 4, Grid / Grid2 / Plexus, Cell, VuhDo (named-collector patterns).
• Small-pill fallback for tiny-frame addons.
• Patches a long-standing Blizzard Classic Era bug in GetDifficultyInfo so ReadyCheck doesn't spam Lua errors during your boost sessions.

• On-frame numbers (pill badge on party/raid frames)
• Prompt after trade (popup to confirm runs)
• Require boss kill to count a run (strict mode, off by default)
• Count down vs. count up
• Only prompt when gold was traded (skip item-only trades)
• Auto-open window after a trade
• Open window when entering a dungeon — BOOSTER: only if a tracked customer is in your group. BOOSTED: always.
• Auto-announce 'last run' and 'out of runs' (BOOSTED mode, opt-in).

Plus an inline Prices editor (booster mode only) with "Use current dungeon's name" shortcut for inside-the-dungeon setup.

Compatibility & flavors

Works on every WoW flavor — the addon ships both a Classic Era TOC (Interface 11508) and a Mainline TOC (Interface 120005). NIT (Nova Instance Tracker) is listed as an OptionalDeps; HappyBooster benefits from NIT's chat broadcasts if present, but doesn't require it (instance-UID detection works standalone).

Built specifically with Classic Era boost sellers in mind, but works on every WoW flavor.
