Note:

I'm sorry folks, but with our second baby due Any Day Now (TM) and the rearrangements in lifestyle and cost that have taken place as a result of that, in addition to my declining interest in WoW, I'm going to have to put RecipeBook on indefinite hold. I've been trying to dredge out a 4.0 release but I just can't find the time or energy. If there is someone out there who wants to take over the project, please let me know.

RecipeBook Version 3.3.2 beta 2

Note: interim builds are available at http://home.comcast.net/~recipebook - but be aware, these builds may be buggy and may or may not be compatible with formal release versions.

A RL Note: I work full-time plus and have a toddler. Real Life always comes first. Please do keep me up to date on bugs and requests, but there may be blocks of 4-6 weeks where I don't do anything but work and sleep, no time for code.

Brief description:

Adds information to recipes on which alts know or can learn them. Color codes recipes in the auction house. Allows sharing of recipe data between accounts.

For example:

I have character BetsyRoss, who is a tailor by nature. She knows Pattern: American Flag, but for some reason, I can never remember this when UncleScrooge goes to the auction house to buy patterns.

• Previously, would have to keep a written or mental list of BetsyRoss's known patterns so that UncleScrooge didn't buy her a second copy of Pattern: American Flag on accident.
• Now, with RecipeBook, UncleScrooge can mouse over Pattern: American Flag and see "Already known by: BetsyRoss" right there on the tooltip - or, if he chooses, in a special chat tab just for RecipeBook information.

It's fun! It's helpful! It's easy to use! It's also still in development, so there are a few known issues and some miscellaneous housework to be done.

Usage

/rbk or /recipebook will all work for slash commands. PLEASE NOTE: /rbk no longer works for RecipeBook. RecipeBook has a minimap icon that allows you to access most RecipeBook commands as well.

General:

- /rbk help : Displays a help message

Sharing:

- /rbk send <alt> to <player> : Sends your RecipeBook data for a given alt to another player. Use 'all' as your alt to send all alts you know. Use 'me' to send just your character. Use 'guild' to send to your guild.

- Right-click on the minimap icon and select "Shared Data" for sharing options. If a character is targeted, RecipeBook will use that character. Otherwise, you will be prompted for a name.

Banking:

- /rbk bank : Displays your banked items and options for banked items.

Skill Display

- /rbk skill : Use /rbk skill to open a window which allows you to browse recipes known by alt and tradeskill. So, just in case UncleScrooge were curious, he could type "/rbk skill", select BetsyRoss via the dopdown menu accessed by clicking on the "[click to change]" next to his name, and view all her Tailoring recipes.

Searching

- /rbk search : Opens the RecipeBook Search Window. (You can also bind this to a key)

- /rbk search <item> : Searches for items containing the given string.

- /rbk searchmats <item> : Searches for items using materials which match the given string.

Configuration:

All configuration options can be accessed through the RecipeBook GUI: use /rbk config to open this, use the minimap icon to open the configuration, or bind a key to it using the "keybindings" button in your main menu.

Color Configuration:

Use the minimap icon to change colors for items or open the RecipeBook UI window with /rbk config and select the "Colors" tab.

Known issues:

• RecipeBook only updates its recipe list when your tradeskill window is open. So, if BetsyRoss just learned Pattern: Giant American Flag, she'll have to open her Tailoring window before RecipeBook (or UncleScrooge) knows about it.

Compatibilities:

For mod authors:

• The easiest way to add RecipeBook compatibility to *your* mod is to call the following in your tooltip output:

RecipeBook_DoHookedFunction(tooltip, [link]);

- Where tooltip is the tooltip (or tooltip name) you're using and (now optional) link is the item link itself. That will add RecipeBook's data lines.
