Features

  • Clicked to toggle the main UI
  • Right-clicked for quick options

SexyMap Compatibility

Scribey is fully compatible with SexyMap and other minimap management addons through LibDataBroker-1.1 support. The addon will automatically:

  • Register with SexyMap when available
  • Fall back to a custom minimap button if SexyMap isn't installed
  • Respect your minimap addon's positioning and styling preferences

Installation

  1. Copy the Scribey folder to your WoW AddOns directory:
   World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns\Scribey\
  1. Restart World of Warcraft or reload UI (/reload)

  2. The addon will automatically load and display a confirmation message

Usage

Automatic Tracking

The addon automatically detects when you:

  • Craft Darkmoon Cards through inscription
  • Receive Darkmoon Cards in your bags

Slash Commands

Use /scribey or /sb followed by these commands:

  • /scribey status (or /sb status) - Shows current tracking status and statistics
  • /scribey export (or /sb export) - Manually triggers data export
  • /scribey clear (or /sb clear) - Clears all tracked data
  • /scribey help (or /sb help) - Shows available commands

Example Output

When you craft a card, you'll see:

[Scribey] Recorded crafted card: Ace of Tigers

Data Export

The addon stores crafted card data in two ways:

  1. SavedVariables: Data is saved to Scribey.lua in your WTF folder
  2. Export Format: Creates structured data in ScribeyDB.export_data

Export Data Structure

SCRIBEY_EXPORT_DATA = {
  character_name = "PlayerName-RealmName",
  last_update = 1234567890,
  crafted_cards = {
    {
      timestamp = 1234567890,
      character_name = "PlayerName-RealmName",
      item_id = 79283,
      item_name = "Ace of Tigers",
      deck_name = "Tiger Deck",
      card_number = 1,
      wowhead_id = 79283,
      date_string = "2024-01-01 12:34:56",
      quantity = 1,
      source = "craft_detected"
    }
  }
}

Tracked Cards

The addon tracks all MoP Darkmoon Cards:

Tiger Deck (79283-79290)

  • Ace through Eight of Tigers

Ox Deck (79291-79298)

  • Ace through Eight of Oxen

Crane Deck (79299-79306)

  • Ace through Eight of Cranes

Serpent Deck (79307-79314)

  • Ace through Eight of Serpents

Technical Details

  • Detection Methods:
    • Chat message parsing for crafting events
    • Bag scanning for newly acquired cards
  • Data Storage: Uses WoW's SavedVariables system
  • Export Limit: Keeps last 50 crafted cards in export data to manage file size
  • Character Format: Stores as "Name-Realm" for unique identification

Troubleshooting

Addon Not Loading

  • Check that the folder is named exactly Scribey
  • Verify the .toc file is present and readable
  • Try /reload to reload the UI

Cards Not Being Detected

  • Check /scribey status or /sb status to see if the addon is active
  • Ensure you're crafting the correct MoP Darkmoon Cards
  • Try /scribey export or /sb export to manually trigger export

Data Location

The saved data can be found at:

World of Warcraft\_classic_\WTF\Account\[ACCOUNT]\SavedVariables\Scribey.lua

Optional Dependencies

For the best experience, consider installing:

  • LibStub - Core library framework
  • LibDataBroker-1.1 - Data broker system
  • LibDBIcon-1.0 - Minimap icon management
  • SexyMap - Advanced minimap customization

These libraries are automatically detected and used if available, but Scribey works fine without them.
