OctoAuctionator 1.0.0

The classic Auctionator 2.6.2 auction house (Buy / Sell / More... tabs) ported to OctoWoW 1.18.1 (1.12.1 client). A free addon.

Made by John The Baptist.

What it does

  • Buy: type a name and press Search. Results fill in while the pages are still coming in, so you can already pick a row and press Buy (the scan pauses for the purchase and then carries on). Click Item Price to flip cheapest-first / most-expensive-first. Recent searches and your own shopping lists sit on the left.
  • Sell: drop an item in the slot and it searches that item, shows the current auctions and recommends a buyout just under the cheapest one. Set the stack size and number of stacks, pick 6 / 24 / 72 hours, Create Auction.
  • More...: your own items: what you have on the AH right now (check for undercuts) and everything you posted before.
  • Full Scan: optional. Scans the whole auction house and stores the lowest prices for the tooltips.
  • Tooltips: auction price of an item (and the vendor price if you use SellValue), shown with the game's own coins.

About speed: the server sends 50 auctions per page and only while the auction window is open; the 1.12 client has no "get all". A normal search is a page or a few; a Full Scan of a big auction house takes a while.

Install

  1. Download OctoAuctionator-1.0.0.zip from Releases or the forum attachment.
  2. Extract it into your WoW Interface/AddOns folder.
  3. Restart WoW and enable OctoAuctionator at character selection.

The folder must contain Interface/AddOns/OctoAuctionator/OctoAuctionator.toc. Turn off other auction house addons (aux, other Auctionator versions) to avoid two UIs fighting over the window. SellValue is optional (vendor prices in tooltips).

Usage

  • Open the auction house: the Buy, Sell and More... tabs are next to Browse / Bids / Auctions.
  • The Auctionator button (top right) opens the options; Full Scan... starts a full scan.
  • /atr clear fullscandb clears the stored scan prices, /atr clear posthistory clears your posting history.

Original addon: Auctionator 2.6.2 by Zirco (WoWInterface). This version keeps his interface and code and adapts them to the 1.12 client and this server.

It's not much, but it's honest work.
