Version 2.2.1
Last updated 3 November 2007 by Ayradyss
Installation: Unzip into the World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns directory.

RecipeBook is a mod that allows you to browse tradeskill recipes with one alt and see whether your other alts know it.

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, I 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.

RecipeBook loads defaulted to on, tooltip output, not parsing the current alt, same faction, showing known/learn/future recipes. Banked data loads defaulted to off.
Usage: /recipebook, /rbook or /rb <options> (note: if RatingBuster is installed, /rbk replaces /rb).
* General:
- /rb help : Displays a help message
- /rb on|off : Turns RecipeBook's data display on or off. It will continue to update alts' tradeskills when the tradeskill frames are opened, so you have the best list possible.
- /rb config : Opens the graphical config window.
- /rb skill [<alt> <tradeskill>] : Use /rb skill to open a window with a list of every recipe your alt knows in a given tradeskill. So, just in case UncleScrooge were curious, he could type "- /rb skill betsyross tailoring" and find out every tailoring recipe BetsyRoss knew as of the most recent update.

* Sharing:
- /rb send <player> <alt> <tradeskill> : Sends your RecipeBook data for a given alt and tradeskill to another player. Use 'all' as your alt or tradeskill to send all alts and/or tradeskills you know. Defaults to all alts, all tradeskills.

* Banking:
- /rb banklist : Displays your banked items.

* Skill Display:
- /rb skill <character> <tradeskill> : Show tradeskills for a certain character. This will default to the last character the skill window was opened for.
- /rb search <item> : Searches for items containing the given string.
- /rb searchmats <item> : Searches for items using materials which match the given string.

* Auction House Options (only available via /rb config):
- Color Recipes based on status: This will shade the icons for recipes you see in the Auction House based on whether other alts can learn them.
- Current color scheme is as follows (in order of precedence):
- Normal : Current alt can learn the recipe
- Green : Another alt can currently learn the recipe
- Orange : Current alt is the only character who will be able to learn the recipe (requires /rb self on)
- Cyan : Some alt or alts will be able to learn the recipe (may include current character)
- Red : No alt/alts will be able to learn the recipe, based on current data
- Dark Red : All available alts already know the recipe
- Blackout Banked Recipes: This will shade the icons for recipes that you have banked black in the Auction House so that you can tell you already have a copy.

* Debugging functions
- /rb debug : Turns on debug mode
- /rb verbose : Turns on verbose send mode.

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.

Housekeeping:
* Hopes for next phase: Updating your recipe list when you learn items (in progress). Better colour-coding customization.
* Planning a minimap icon
* Improving the UI more

Compatibilities:
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 link is the item link itself. That will add RecipeBook's data lines.
We're starting over with 2.1 and compatibility.

Special thanks to:
Curse Gaming's Pentarion and Ghandi, for some hard work helping me debug the German client version. Particularly to Pentarion for ongoing translation work.


Most Recent Changes (see Changelog.txt for old versions):
2.2.1
FIXED:
- ArkInventory, AdvancedBagsPlus, ACUI_MyInventory, ACUI_MyBank should all be working correctly.
- Code inserted for other bag mods generically to keep the "UpdateTooltip" error from happening.
- AuctionFiltersPlus code should not run if AuctioneerAdvanced CompactUI is enabled, since they're not compatible.
CHANGED:
- Full database update (rather than abbreviated) should now be running shortly after login. If you notice problems with lag/disconnects please let me know.
- Totally revamped the banked items code - now should run faster, smoother, and with less lag. Also should unbank items correctly! Note: You will have to revisit your bank for banked items to show correctly.
- Items are now banked immediately on being added to your bags, and unbanked shortly after their removal. This means that when you buy a recipe and promptly learn it, it will bank and unbank.
- Revamping item storage to make the database update require less server overhead. You'll be asked to update your tradeskills; they will *probably* work all right without updating.
ADDED:
- New toggle in /rb config to turn off the banked/unbanked spam, if you just want the job done quietly :)

PLEASE NOTE: If you learn a new recipe, you will have to open your appropriate tradeskill window to update RecipeBook's database. Hopefully this will change soon.
