Installation

Method 1: Direct Download (Recommended)

1. Click the green <> Code button at the top of this page.

        └── AHPriceMemory/
            ├── AHPriceMemory.toc
            ├── AHPriceMemory_Constants.lua
            ├── AHPriceMemory_UI.lua
            └── AHPriceMemory.lua

Common Issues:

• ❌ AddOns/AHPriceMemory-main/AHPriceMemory/ (too nested)
• ✅ AddOns/AHPriceMemory/ (correct!)

Requirements

• Game Version: World of Warcraft 1.12.x (Vanilla).
• Dependencies: None (standalone addon).

Usage

Basic Workflow

1. First Time Setup: Place an item in the auction house and set your desired prices.
2. Create Auction: Click "Create Auction" - prices are automatically saved.
3. Next Time: Place the same item with the same stack size - prices auto-fill instantly.

Automatic Price Saving

Prices are saved automatically when you click "Create Auction".

• Saves both Starting Bid and Buyout prices.
• Separate memory for each stack size (e.g., singles, stacks of 5, stacks of 20).
• Only saves when prices actually change (no spam).
• Works silently in the background.

Auto-Fill Feature

When Auto-fill is enabled (default):

• Place an item in the auction slot.
• Prices automatically fill in the Starting Bid and Buyout fields.
• If no saved price exists for that stack size, Buyout clears but Bid remains unchanged.
• Toggle via the database window (/ahpm show).

Info Messages

When Show Messages is enabled (default), you'll see confirmation when prices are saved or auto-filled:

[AHPM] Saved prices for Wool Cloth (x20):
  - Bid: 10s | Buyout: 15s

Slash Commands

• /ahpm or /ahpricememory: Display addon information and statistics.
• /ahpm show: Open the database browser window.

Database Browser Window

Access with /ahpm show to view all saved prices.

Search & Filter:

• Search Box: Find items by name or item ID.
• Rarity Filter: Show only specific quality items (All, Poor, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary).
• Clear Button: Reset search instantly.

Sorting:

• IDs/Names: Click headers to sort.
• Prices: Sort by Bid or Buyout.
• Rarity: Group by item quality. Click any sort button twice to reverse the order.

Display Format:

Wool Cloth (x20) [ID 2592]    Bid: 10s | Buyout: 15s
Wool Cloth (x1) [ID 2592]     Bid: 50c | Buyout: 1s

How It Works

Price Memory System

The addon tracks prices using a three-tier system:

1. Item ID: Identifies the specific item (e.g., Wool Cloth = 2592).
2. Stack Size: The number of items in the stack (1, 5, 20, etc.).
3. Prices: Starting Bid and Buyout for that combination.

Example:

Wool Cloth (x1):  Bid 50c, Buyout 1s
Wool Cloth (x5):  Bid 2s 50c, Buyout 5s
Wool Cloth (x20): Bid 10s, Buyout 20s

Each combination is tracked separately, allowing you to maintain different pricing strategies for different stack sizes.

Auto-Fill Logic

1. Place Item: Addon identifies item ID and stack size.
2. Check Memory: Looks for an exact match.
3. Fill: If found, fills prices. If not, defaults (clears buyout).

Price Updates

Prices are updated when you create an auction with different prices than previously saved.

• The addon only saves if prices actually changed (prevents unnecessary updates).
• Changes are immediate - no /reload required.

Data Storage

Account-Wide Database (SavedVariables/AHPriceMemory.lua):

• All saved prices stored in AHPriceMemory_Data.
• Shared across all characters on the same account.
• Saved automatically when you logout or /reload.
• Location: WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/SavedVariables/AHPriceMemory.lua.

Per-Character Settings (SavedVariablesPerCharacter):

• Settings like "Auto-fill" and "Show Messages" are saved per character.
• Location: WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/SERVER/CHARACTER/SavedVariables/AHPriceMemory.lua.

Data Format (AHPriceMemory_Data):

AHPriceMemory_Data = {
    [2592] = {  -- Item ID (Wool Cloth)
        itemName = "Wool Cloth",
        quantities = {
            [1] = {  -- Stack size
                bid = 50,     -- In copper
                buyout = 100  -- In copper
            },
            [20] = {
                bid = 1000,
                buyout = 2000
            }
        }
    }
}

Troubleshooting

• Prices not auto-filling: Check "Auto-fill" checkbox in /ahpm show. Verify you've auctioned this exact item+stack size before.
• Prices auto-fill with wrong values: The addon remembers the last used price. Create a new auction with the correct price to update it.
• Info messages not showing: Check "Show Messages" checkbox.
• Database window shows old data: Close and reopen the window to force a refresh.
• Items show "(not in cache)": Normal for items not seen recently. Game client will cache them eventually.

Known Limitations

• Personal Tracking Only: Only tracks prices you personally set (doesn't scan other auctions).
• Action Required: Requires actually creating an auction to save prices.
• Exact Match: Stack sizes must match exactly for auto-fill to work.
• UI Position: Window position not saved between sessions.
• WoW Version: World of Warcraft 1.12.x (Vanilla) only.
