Description
WideTradeSkillsReloaded began as a refinement of WideTradeSkillsPlus (v1.0.2) by StormtrooperTK421, originally created to make the “double-wide” tradeskill window actually use its extra space by extending the recipe list.
With the release of TBC Anniversary 2.5.5, however, Blizzard’s internal TradeSkillFrame implementation changed significantly. The original codebase (and earlier refinements of it) could no longer be maintained in a stable or clean way.
As a result, this project evolved into a full rewrite:
- The frame layout is now rebuilt directly on top of the modern 2.5.5 UI system
- Legacy hooks and fragile texture manipulations have been removed
- Only the core goal remains: a clean, fully functional, truly double-wide tradeskill interface
Some features present in earlier forks of WideTradeSkillsPlus have been intentionally dropped or simplified in favour of robustness, clarity, and long-term maintainability on current clients.
In that sense, WideTradeSkillsReloaded is now effectively a new addon, continuing the spirit of the original project while adapting it to the modern TBC Anniversary client.
Tested and developed for TBC Anniversary 2.5.5.
