Zygor’s Gold Guide and Auction Tools Restored!

by (7 years ago).

gold_guide

At last we have an update rolling out now (Version 5.0.14224) that fixes Zygor’s Gold Guide to work with Patch 7.0. For those not in the know, Patch 7.0 brought about a lot of changes, most of which we were able to get our guides updated for rather quickly, but the changes to the Auction House scanning were so extensive that it has taken us much longer than usual for us to resolve all issues. We want to apologize for the inconvenience and thank everyone for their patience.

With this new update the Gold Guide and Auction Tools have been restored to working order. However, the changes Blizzard made meant we had to change the way scans work and so they now take more time to process than in the past. It may be possible for us to speed this up with further optimization (we’re looking into this now).

We recommend only using the Scan button to update the different panels of Gold Guide chores (Farming/Gathering/Crafting/Auctions), and using Appraise All or Scan New for your general auction house buying and selling needs. The scan button scans the entire auction house, which takes longer, whereas Appraise All and Scan New only scans in the items in your inventory. You will likely see an lua error that says something like:

Message: …ace\AddOns\Blizzard_AuctionUI\Blizzard_AuctionU I.lua:733: attempt to index local ‘color’ (a nil value)
Time: 08/04/16 23:15:59
Count: 5
Stack: …ace\AddOns\Blizzard_AuctionUI\Blizzard_AuctionU I.lua:733: in function `AuctionFrameBrowse_Update’
…ace\AddOns\Blizzard_AuctionUI\Blizzard_AuctionU I.lua:260: in function <…ace\AddOns\Blizzard_AuctionUI\Blizzard_Auction UI.lua:258>”

This is actually an error with the game itself not with Zygor as you can see by the opening part of that error message. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, Blizzard will need to patch this themselves. Luckily it doesn’t seem to affect anything so you can just close the message and ignore it for now.

Troubleshooting:
You should be able to just click Update on the Zygor Client to get this update, but sometimes it is necessart to exit the game (important) and click the wrench Repair icon on the client and select Reinstall.

If that does not work, your saved variables might need to be cleared. To do this:

1. Exit WoW
2. Go to the WoW/Interface/Addons folder and delete the ZygorGuidesViewer folder
3. Go to the WoW/WTF/Account/<accountname>/SavedVariables folder and delete the Zygor files in there
4. Run the installer client and install a fresh copy of the guides
5. Go back in game and see if that fixed it

    I just updated to the latest release this morning (5.0.14225) and when I enter game, I am unable to open the Gold Guide.

    I did a scan on the auction house and it seems to be fairly fast. I had not done a scan since the WoW Patch to 7 came out.

    I am not getting any LUA errors, or output either.

      Not being to open the Gold Guide sounds like you’re still running the previous version where we disabled the Gold Guide. Please see the Troubleshooting section of the post above to see if any of those solutions fix the issue for you.

        That was the case. I have been updating, but had not done a complete reinstall to clear out old items. After reinstalling, it works like a champ!

        Thank you greatly.

    Auction scan and item posting seems to work (I have no problem with the extra time it takes to scan now, it’s perfectly fine) but I can’t seem to open the rest of the gold guide at all.

    Others have mentioned getting a LUA error but I don’t get anything at all when I click the “Gold Guide” button from the home screen or when clicking the small icon at the upper right corner of the AH window – no error message, no feedback at all…

        Lua Error received when clicking ‘Gold’ under Zygor ‘Home’ tab. Verified I’ve cleaned reinstalled version 5.0.14234 via the Zygor client, and disabled all addons prior to retesting. As Josh stated, auction scan works, though I’m still unable to access gold guide due to below:

    Auction scan works.
    lua error any time I try to open the Gold Guide.

    Also, I have Jaina’s teleport item in my bags. It’s soulbound, but shows up in my sell list. Any way to keep it from putting soulbound items in that list?

      The soulbound items issue should be fixed as version 5.0.14225. As for the LUA error, we’ll need you to post the text from that error in order to see what’s going on. Thanks.
