Modifying Auctionator for faster scanning & buying

[Lemour]

Im a lurker @reddit myself and I found this awesome tip by AugustinCauchy!

Okay so basically you want to edit three files in the Auctionator addon in order for this to work! Head into the addon thats located in your addon folder (\Interface\AddOns\Auctionator) and locate three files, these are the ones you're going to edit.

AuctionatorScan.lua
AuctionatorQuery.lua
AuctionatorBuy.lua


Two Parts: First, faster listing in the "Buy" tab: In AuctionatorScan.lua, line 504 replace

local done = self.query.curPageInfo.numOnPage < 50

with

local done = self.current_page > 0

and in line 735

QueryAuctionItems (queryString, minLevel, maxLevel, self.current_page, nil, nil, false, exactMatch, filter )

with

QueryAuctionItems (queryString, minLevel, maxLevel, self.current_page, true, nil, false, exactMatch, filter )
Second, faster "rescan" when buying: In AuctionatorBuy.lua, line 158 replace
QueryAuctionItems( queryString, nil, nil, gAtr_Buy_CurPage, nil, nil, false, false, nil )

with

QueryAuctionItems( queryString, nil, nil, gAtr_Buy_CurPage, true, nil, false, false, nil )
and in AuctionatorQuery.lua line 122 replace
return (((pagenum + 1) * 50) >= self.totalAuctions);

with

return true;

Here is the link if you wanna look into it!


[Broken link] is the edited files if you dont want or have problems to get it to work! Just drag and drop them into your \Interface\AddOns\Auctionator folder!

Here is a link to virustotal if you dont really trust the link!

Any explanation behind what this new code does? pros and cons?

[TommyT]

I love you i really hate the amount of time it takes to buy stuff

[Ashbringer2099]

The linked files are safe, thanks for sharing them.

[Ausgebombt]

Where do I even replace this? Poor explanation, good find!

[JannikAhoi]

works perfect thanks but after some time you get blocked from the auctions house that means you cant search for like 10 mins maybe because you are making too many inhuman calls on the api

[vvvat]

Big thanks. It's extact what I search.

i cant access the files..best i could do was view them via notepad & that was not at all the same. ;(

[Lemour]

Just click on the right hand side, "downlad".

Applying those files made my auctionator behave oddly, showing zero search result although item was present on AH. I almost lost a great bargain after I receiving TSM notification email, so I thought someone was faster, but then searched in the main default AH window and bam, the item was still there. I reinstalled default Auctionator from curse and this time search worked ok.
For this reason I won't be risking getting unerliable search results for this marginal gain.

I second that. Applying those "fixes" also removes some items from searches. Dont apply them.

Same here. I noticed a few comments on reddit with the same info also.
