Item Level Updated

[PocketAppZ]

How about an addon that outputs text to the chat frame to notify the player when their item level has changed.

When players are leveling 90-100, certain dungeons are not available until you reach a certain item level. Would be nice to get an output that keeps me informed of my current ilvl as well as letting me know what my new ilvl is when I equip a new piece of gear.


Seems a little unnecessary but I think it would be convenient so I don't have to open up my character pane to look at my item level after I've equipped a new piece of gear.

No one else thinks this is a good idea? Hmph.

I can relate to this need only slightly, but it sounds pretty simple so I'll try to code something tomorrow (Thursday)

Much appreciated

Well, once it gets approved, you can download your shiny new add-on right here. I hope it's what you wanted

I will give it a try and provide feedback via addon page comments

Thank you for this!

And if you're looking for something a bit simpler that just prints messages to chat when your ilvl changes, instead of showing it in an always-visible frame, you can try this (totally untested):

local ilvl = -1

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_AVG_ITEM_LEVEL_UPDATE")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
	local total, equipped = GetAverageItemLevel()
	total = math.floor(total)
	if total == ilvl then
		return
	end
	local color = ChatTypeInfo["SYSTEM"]
	if total > ilvl then
		DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Your average item level is now |cff99ff99" .. total .. "|r, up from " .. ilvl, color.r, color.g, color.b)
	else
		DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Your average item level is now |cffff9999" .. total .. "|r, down from " .. ilvl, color.r, color.g, color.b)
	end
	ilvl = total
end)

If you need help turning the above code into an addon, copy and paste it into this page:
