I just updated to 2.1 and stuff is broken

If you just updated through curse or twitch, then please restart your WoW Client first. As quite a bit has changed.

AnS [Auction Snipe]

A lightweight addon for WoW auction sniping

Dependecies

Requires AnS

Must have at least one of the below for retail:

Undermine Journal
TSM
AnsAuctionData with data from the (AnS App)[https://github.com/Metric/AnS/releases] (only supports US and EU at the moment)

In 2.1 Settings Have Moved!

Settings are no longer under Esc -> Interface -> Addons -> AnS

Instead use the new Minimap button to access all stuff AnS related.

or use /ans in the chat window to toggle the main AnS window.

Billis String in 2.1 for Classic

Define a custom source named minprice with value:

max(dbmarket, vendorsell)

max(ansmarket, vendorsell)

In the global Max Price / Boolean Filter or in a Sniper Operation Max Price / Boolean Filter:

max(ifgte(ItemQuality, 1, minprice * ifgte(minprice, 250g, 80, ifgte(minprice, 100g, (minprice - 100g) * (80 - 70) / (250g - 100g) + 70, ifgte(minprice, 50g, (minprice - 50g) * (70 - 60) / (100g - 50g) + 60, ifgte(minprice, 10g, (minprice - 10g) * (60 - 40) / (50g - 10g) + 50, ifgte(minprice, 5g, (minprice - 5g) * (40 - 30) / (10g - 5g) + 30, ifgte(minprice, 1g, (minprice - 1g) * (30 - 10) / (5g - 1g) + 10, 0)))))) / 100, 0), VendorSell - 1c)

Note for 2.x Regarding Retail Max Percent and Browse Groups

Check Ignore Group Max Percent and use isgroup in your formula to ignore browse group data

Example:

ifeq(isgroup,true,ppu,<your actual item formula here>)

How to Buy & Other Controls

Double click to buy an item
Action / Mouse wheel macro creation under Ans Minimap Button -> Settings -> Macro
- Buy will only buy the currently selected item
- Buy First will always buy the first item in the list
Blacklist an Item until AH is Closed: Shift + Left Click
Permanently Blacklist an Item: Shift + Ctrl + Left Click
- Note you can manually add or remove from permanent blacklist under Ans Minimap Button -> Settings -> Blacklist
  - Adding an item can be done via an item id or item string. E.g. 12345, i:12345::2:32, p:32 etc.

Settings -> Sniper -> Price Source

The sniper price source must return a numerical value and can use Custom Sources as well in it.

The sniper price source is used for the default percentage calculations.

Settings -> Sniper -> Max Price or Boolean Filter

The max price or boolean filter here is the global version. Sniper operations ignore this value and use their own instead.

You can either return a numerical value here and it will work as a max price cut off, or return a boolean value such as: ppu lte 20g

Predefined Variables

Lua operators can be used

 >=, ~=, ==, <=, <, >, not, and, or, -, +, *, \

Predefined functions for use in strings:

first, check, iflte, iflt, ifgte, ifgt, ifeq, ifneq, avg, min, max, mod, abs, ceil, floor, round, random, log, log10, exp, sqrt, eq, neq, bonus, startswith, contains,

Predefined Item Variables:

vendorsell, vendorbuy, percent, ppu, stacksize, buyout, ilevel, quality, tsmId, id, isgroup

Predefined TUJ Variables:

tujmarket, tujrecent, tujglobalmedian, tujglobalmean, tujage, tujdays, tujstddev, tujglobalstddev

Predefined TSM Variables:

dbmarket, dbminbuyout, dbhistorical, dbregionmarketavg, dbregionminbuyoutavg, dbregionhistorical, dbregionsaleavg, dbregionsalerate, dbregionsoldperday

Most variants on TSM variables are also available such as DBRegionMarketAvg, ItemLevel, etc. in 2.1

Predefined AnsAuctionData Variables:

ansmin, ansrecent, ansmarket, ans3day, ansregionmarket, ansregionmin

ansregionmarket and ansregionmin are only available for retail via the AnS App. They do nothing on classic.

Using Predefined bonus function in 2.1

The bonus function will check to see if an item has a specified bonus id

You can pass it the following as an example:

bonus(100,110g,0)

If the above has the bonus 100 then it will return the first value of 110g, otherwise it will return the secondary value of 0. If only a bonus id is provided and no values are passed, then it will return just true or false.

The function parameters:

bonus(id,value1,value2)

bonus does not work on browse groups. Check isgroup first before trying to use it.

Example:

ifeq(isgroup,true,ppu,bonus(100,110g,0))

Settings -> Custom Sources (Previously called Custom VARS)

Custom sources can be anything you want them to be and are case sensitive.

They can be referenced in any other area of AnS from operations to global settings.

Percent Shorthand

You can do the following just like TSM:

10% dbmarketvalue

20% dbminbuyout

etc..

Gold Shorthand

25g5s10c

25g10c

25g

5s10c

5s

10c

Example of Price Source

avg of tujmarket and tujrecent

avg(tujmarket,tujrecent)

min of tujmarket and tujrecent

min(tujmarket,tujrecent)

min of dbmarket, tujmarket, tujrecent, dbregionmarketavg

min(dbmarket,tujmarket,tujrecent,dbregionmarketavg)

Using custom math in strings

You can use any of the standard lua operators for math such as: * (multiply), \ (divide), + (add), - (subtract)

0.25 * min(tujmarket,tujrecent);

Boolean Filtering Examples

Only show auctions less than 50%

percent lt 50

Only show auctions with a ppu less than equal to 5g

ppu lte 5g

Only show items with ilevel greater than 350

ilevel gt 350

Only show items with a stacksize of greater than equal to 20

stacksize gte 20

Only show items that are rare and above

quality gte 4

Combining More Than One Boolean Examples

quality common or better and ppu less than equal to 10g

quality gte 1 and ppu lte 10g

iLevel greater than 350 and percent less than 50

ilevel gt 350 and percent lt 50

One or the Other Boolean Examples

Only accept items that are less than 1000g or above 5000g ppu

ppu lt 1000g or ppu gt 5000g

Only accept items with stacksize 200 or ppu gt 200g and ppu lt 250g

(stacksize eq 200) or (ppu gt 200g and ppu lt 250g)

AnS

What is it?

It is a core library used for various things. But mainly for AnS [Auction Snipe].

It also handles the configuration of all AnS related addons.
