nLootLink

Main

nLootLink is a browseable, searchable database of every item that you come across in game. The database is initially empty, however it will fill up quickly as you encounter items via player inspection, auction house, guild bank, quests, stores etc. Other nLootLink users on your realm will automatically share their data with you via a hidden chat channel.

This addon's functionality was inspired by the excellent Lootlink and Ludwig WOW addons, by Telo and Tuller.

Usage

Click the FSM on the menu bar or use a slash command: /ll /nll /lootlink /nlootlink

Shift click an icon in the browser to link it in chat.

Sample Database

This database contains 25373 items and can be installed as follows:

  1. Run WAR once with nLootLink installed, to create the nLootLink directories
  2. Quit WAR.
  3. Download SavedVariables.lua from http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xcen21zq4mw and save to war/user/settings/GLOBAL/nLootLink

Thanks go to Copperbeards, who has collected and contributed much of this data.

Other Addons

nRarity shows the fancy rarity colours on the icon borders.

Limitations

Loading Delay

The database is stored in a compressed format, so it unpacks after the game is loaded. This takes around 15 seconds, depending on the size of your database and speed of your system. Until the database is unpacked, nLootLink is not usable.

If they don't have nLootLink, they probably won't be able to see the item, as it's not in the game's "local cache" of items seen. There's nothing I can do about that. Tell them to get nLootLink!

If they have nLootLink, there will be a delay of up to 3 seconds before they can see the item, as your nLootLink needs to tell their nLootLink about the item, via the hidden channel.
