Update AuctionDB Data Automatically (without scanning)

[FlopsyPrince]

You can manually set prices for mats in the Materials section of the Crafting options for each profession. So if there is a particular mat that is om short supply and you often have to pay more for it, you can set it higher there.

Perhaps, but that is a LOT of manual work and it can get out of date really quick. I suppose I would most want a button that says "update mat prices" which then scanned the AH or something to "fix" any errant prices.

If you are scanning frequently I don't think they would be that far off. You can try using the TUJ prices for mats if you find that has better numbers for you.

I also suggest you make sure you have Crafting set to use the Market Value for mats, and not minimum buyout. Set the other way and you will obviously be paying more than what TSM thinks for lots of mats.

It is set at % of market price. I will have to test it right after a scan and see if that impacts things at all. It hasn't seemed to do so, but I haven't watched that closely enough.

Now I am seeing the opposite problem. Just did a GetAll Scan with TSM. Looking at the creation tab for an Inferno Ruby cut gem shows the mat cost as 352 gold even though 18 Inferno Rubies are on the AH at 184-194 each. Only 1 ruby is needed for each cut.

The TSM info on the popup shows the right price, but the "mat cost" in the list is still 352. That is not double, just almost double, the price of the gem itself. It does seem that the market median is 352, which must be where it is getting its information, though that is not a normal price. (I would be prospecting a LOT more ore if it was.)

Any idea what the problem is here?

Kind of off topic for this thread, but you can go into the materials page in the /tsm window for that profession and see exactly where TSM is getting the mat price from. You should also check what you have Crafting set to use for mat prices in the first place.

I had to look around to find that, but I think that was the problem. It was going off the TUJ median price, which must have had spiked data in it. I changed it to the AuctionDB-Market Value.

(It is under the Crafting Options area, Price/Inventory Settings tab in case anyone else is looking.)

Perhaps that will smooth out my other problem as well. The tooltip popup always had the right price.

i downloaded the program and it worked great until My computer was restarted. Then it would not work so went in to restart it and now all i get is the following error message :

windowsformsapplications1 has stopped working properly.

I have removed and reloaded the application twice to the same result. Is there data or code in another file i need to find and remove before it will work properly again?

I had the exact same problem and tried the same steps you described. I was embarrased to realize that I was trying to run the executable setup file from within the winzip view of windows explorer. I needed to "extract all files" first and then run the executable from the destination location. Now it is working great. Hope this helps.

I've been having this same suspicion lately @Sapu94 . I've been getting into some unfamiliar markets lately and have noticed that the TSM MV is significantly off on a number of markets compared to the TUJ GE Market Value. I have the auto-updater running mor4e or less 24/7, but I've taken to running a daily manual scan on top of that because it didn't feel as though the MV was ever changing, even though I was now involved and active in those markets.

What's the best course of action? Re-install?

I just tested it, and (at least for me), the data is definitely getting from the app to the in-game database. Remember that the app just downloads the data and you have to /reload for the addon to actually pick it up. I used the following script for my testing:

/dump LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("TradeSkillMaster_AuctionDB").data[ITEMID]

(obviously replace ITEMID with an itemID)

You should see a "scans" entry that has a bunch of numbered entries under it indexed by the day of the scan (day since epoch) for up to 14 days (usually) in the past - depending on when you scanned.

You may want to check the TUJ data. It was far off in my case, though I am running with the weekly one. I will probably work to setup multiple of the automatic one here soon. I did change to using the built-in one instead of the TUJ price, which worked for me.

For one of my three usual realms, I've been getting this error, starting just this morning. (It was working fine last night, and is still working fine for my other two realms.)

Never got a response to this. :'-(

However, this problem is gone now. (Don't know if I "fixed" it or not, or if I just waited it out.) For quite a while, I had not logged into that one realm that was blowing up. After logging into some of my toons on that realm for a day or so, the update started working again.
