TradeSkillMaster 3.0 Changelog


Many months of development effort, planning, and testing have gone into making TSM3 the best addon we've ever created. Below, we've listed most of the changes coming with TSM3.


General / Core Changes

  • There have been many changes aimed at improving the user-experience of TSM for new and experienced users alike.
  • The default appearance/design settings have been slightly tweaked to give a nicer look to TSM.
  • All modules have been rewritten to be more reliable, less laggy, and more intuitive.
  • Help plates have been added to key frames across all modules.
  • The main TSM window has been significantly re-organized to make it easier to locate specific options and features. All modules have had their options cleaned up.
  • The default tooltip options have been significantly changed to cut back on the number of lines.
  • All settings will be automatically preserved from TSM2, with the following exceptions:
  • Tooltip options have been reset to default values. This includes making the TSM tooltip its own frame rather than embedded in the default tooltip.
  • Inventory data was wiped as it's now being tracked by TSM and not ItemTracker.
  • Multi-Account information was wiped
  • TSM_Crafting will clear any existing crafting queues and some profession data.
  • Many optimizations have been added to the scanning code of TSM to greatly improve scanning times. Some of these enhancements rely on AuctionDB data from the TSM Desktop Application to be available for the current realm. The key enhancement which are worth noting are:
  • Intelligently skipping pages containing identical auctions (i.e. if somebody posts hundreds of single-stack auctions).
  • The "Preparing Filter X/Y" stage of scanning has been removed completely.
  • The automatic combining of filters has been greatly enhanced to reduce the number of pages which need to be scanned.
  • Finding specific auctions (while buying) has been sped up significantly.
  • The filter box in the "Items" tab of groups now supports more advanced filters. This includes being able to filter by value.
  • By default, removing an item from a group now removes it from all groups. Holding "shift" will do the old behavior of leaving it in the parent group (if applicable).
  • Multi-account support has been completely redesigned and should now be much more reliable.
  • Once multiple accounts are configured, you can now easily send groups from one account to another.
  • The output of "/tsm sources" has been cleaned up.
  • The "Disenchant" custom price source has been removed and replaced with a more general "destroy" price source which takes into accounts all possible conversions.
  • A new "TSM Features" icon has been added to the TSM window.
  • All of the features from TSM_Additions can be found here.
  • Some new enhanced Twitter integration features have been added for those who have connected WoW with their Twitter account.
  • A new option has been added to protect the AH frame from closing when other frames are opened.
  • The TSM tooltips can now be configured to show only when a certain modifier key is pressed.
  • Modules will now be able to differentiate between different versions of WoD items (i.e. heroic/warforged and other bonuses).
  • A new slash command (/tsm profile) has been added for easy profile switching.
  • Clicking on a column header when adding items to a group will now toggle between different sets of items to be shown in that column.
  • Operation name tooltips can now be configured at a per-module level.
  • Tooltip options are now all stored per-profile.
  • All options for playing sounds have had their list of available sounds expanded.
  • If sounds are enabled and you are alt-tabbed out of the game the Wow client icon will now flash when the sound is played.
  • TSM auction house tabs can now be freely switched between without losing their current state. The only restriction is that only one may be performing a scan at a time.
  • Inventory tooltips will now color player names by class.
  • Auctions with bids are no longer counted for inventory purposes.
  • Bind-on-Account items can now be added to groups and are fully supported.
  • Support for battlepets has been standardized and greatly improved across all modules.
  • The settings for creating a scroll wheel macro have been moved to be under the new "TSM Features" icon and enhanced greatly. You can now easily include all commonly-used TSM buttons in the macro.
  • TSM will now include soulbound items in its inventory tracking (including tooltips).
