World Of Warcraft Addon Development
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
While I do already have a program I've been using to do this, I'd like to create a stronger, personal auction house sniper with the help of an experience Lua/XML programmer. I have examples of what sniping is plus already working addons in which you can look through for a better understanding.
What I need from the program is as follows:
1) Perform a continuous scan so that it picks up any newly posted items as soon as they're available. A full auction house scan can take as little as 20 seconds with the addons publicly available. If my idea works, deals will appear within .5 seconds of starting the scan.
2) One-click purchase. Within the interface, there should either be a button created from the addon or the item's name printed in a space that can be clicked for purchasing. This works for non-commodity items as well as pets, commodities may require two clicks.
3) A start/pause/stop function. When an item appears, I'd like the program to pause as soon as I click on the item to buy it without losing my place in the scanning process.
4) Speed. The number one reason for this program would be to get results as soon as physically possible. I plan to run this on dozens of accounts across many realms so I would like to avoid any downtime wherever it can be trimmed.
I have most of this fleshed out within another program, but the core will need to be rewritten to accommodate integrated items that will be saved to a file that the addon reads from when running. I'll also need a saved global list that can be read from any realm. Both of these lists will rely on a cycling temporary tables into the search function that will then be deleted once read. The item list itself will need to remain while the temporary tables don't. I'm estimating that I'll be needing hundreds of these tables in order to fit all of my desired items and their variations into.
