IAmAMerchant

IAmAMerchant Classic (v1.0.0)

Purpose:
========

This addon allows you to display items that you want to sell to other players in an
NPC vendor like window. Items can be added to the vendor window with a price per stack.
The size of the stack is shown in the bottom right corner of the item icon to sell. If no
stack size is shown, the price is per unit. Furthermore, the available amount of the item
in your bag is shown in braces in the top left corner of the item icon.
Any other player can inspect the items you want to sell and contact you if interested.
This avoids the need to spam your items in the chat or to run to an auction house and
doesn't require any fees.

Installation:
=============

- Copy the IAmAMerchant folder to ".../World of Warcraft/_classic_/Interface/AddOns/".

Quick Guide:
============

- Start WoW, log in and set keybindings for "Open target merchant window" and "Open your
merchant window" functions. You can find these keybindings in the category "Addons" on
the left. Suggested keybindings are:
- Open target vendor window: "F6"
- Open your vendor window: "F7"
- Open merchant tracker: "F5" (overwrites another keybinding)
- Press "F7" to open your merchant window.
- Drag and drop an item (for instance from your bag) into the merchant window.
- A dialogue window will open. Enter the copper price per unit for your item.
1234567 means 123 gold, 45 silver and 67 copper.
- Press "Enter" or click on "Add Item" to add this item for sale. Press "Escape" or click
on "Cancel" to close the dialogue without adding the item.
- You can remove items from your list by right clicking on them. If you want to remove all
items, you can also type "/iaam clear" into the chat.
- When other players are targeted, the addon determines whether the targeted player uses
IAmAMerchant and displays an "Inspect Vendor" button if so. Press the button or use the
shortcut for opening the vendor window in order to inspect the items offered for sale.
- Alternatively, opent the merchant tracker and query any merchants by clicking on the
"Query Surrounding" or "Query Guild" buttons which will show a list will show any players
near you or in your guild with items for sale.
- Get in contact with the player to buy items. There will be no automated buying/selling
feature. Interaction and communication with other players is encouraged!

Release Notes:
==============

- v2.1.0
- Added the "Merchant Tracker" windows which allows to search for for players near you or
in your guild who have items for sale. Any player found will be shown in a list. The list
item can then be clicked on to view the player's items for sale.
- Some changes and optimizations regarding communication. Unfortunately, this will break
compatibility with previous versions. However, since there aren't many users yet, and
since there's no reason to not update the addon, this should be no issue.
- v2.0.0
After years I plan to continue this addon, as I want to use it for WoW Classic Hardcore.
- Removed nameplate feature and vendor list as this seems to be too complicated to inplement.
Furthermore, there would be many problems with other nameplate addons.
Instead, the addon will only check if targeted players are offering items for sale.
- A button with a bag icon is shown when a player is targeted who has items for sale.
This button can be moved using the square in the top left corner.
- v1.0.0
- Brave step of going up to major version 1.0.0. The addon should be now in rather stable
state for anyone to use. Please report any further bugs as well as how to reproduce them.
- Fixed dropping an item into the frame when the mouse was released after starting
the drag
- New fix for "no player named ___ is currently playing"
- Added security checks, that only requested item data will be processed.
- Window can be closed with escape
- add "/iaam sound <on/off>". If a merchant was found, a money sound is played if activated.
This might be helpful while only few people are using this addon.

items which could not be queried on the first try

a "no player named ___ is currently playing" warning message
- v0.2.4
- Changed behavior of opening merchant window
- fixed wrong display of available items
- v0.2.3
