CoA Exporter

One Lua addon for Children of Ascension. Two jobs:

1. Per-character export — your character's talents, gear, mystic enchants, and the full mystic-scroll tooltip DB. Output as JSON or Wiki.js Markdown for guides on the guild wiki / exil.es.
2. Game-data catalog dump — every skill, level passive, dispel, and talent-tree node for all 21 CoA classes. Feeds db.exil.es and the talent calculator.

Built for Ascension WotLK 3.3.5 and depends on Ascension's C_CharacterAdvancement / C_MysticEnchant APIs.

This is the merged successor to:

• ascension-char-exporter (per-character, /ascx)
• CoA_SkillExporter (/skilldump, /dispels, /passives)
• CoA_TalentExporter (/talentdumpall)

Install

Copy CoaExporter/ into your AddOns directory:

<wow>/Interface/AddOns/CoaExporter/CoaExporter.toc

Or, on Sub-Net's setup with the addons path symlinked:

./scripts/install_addon_sub.sh

Reload (/reload or relog) so the .toc is picked up.

Slash commands

Primary slash: /coae. Aliases: /coaexp, /ascx, /asxc.

Per-character export

/coae export all              JSON of talents + spellbook + gear + mystic enchants
/coae export talents          JSON, talents only
/coae export spellbook        JSON, full spellbook (per tab, with spellID + rank + icon)
/coae export gear             JSON, gear only
/coae export enchants         JSON, mystic enchants only

/coae export mdgear           Markdown gear table  (Wiki.js)
/coae export mdenchants       Markdown enchants table
/coae export mdspellbook      Markdown spellbook (one section per tab)
/coae export md               Full wiki page (header + gear + enchants + talents + spellbook)

Mystic scroll catalog (per-account, slow scan)

/coae scrolls scan            Resolve all 825 scrolls' tooltips (~20s, retries)
/coae scrolls export          JSON of the resolved cache
/coae scrolls reset           Clear the cache
/coae scrolls status          How many scrolls have been resolved

The cache lives in CoaExporterScrollCache (SavedVariables). Run scan once per account; results persist across sessions and characters.

Game-data catalog (for db.exil.es / talent-calc)

/coae catalog all             One pass: dump skills + talents + icons
/coae catalog skills          Dump skills/dispels/passives only
/coae catalog talents         Dump talent-tree nodes only
/coae catalog icons           Dump server-resolved per-entry icons +
                              per-(class, spec) sidebar tab icons via
                              C_ClassInfo.GetSpecInfo (for db.exil.es)

/coae catalog dispels [class] Print dispel summary (or for one class)
/coae catalog passives [class]Print level-passive summary (or for one class)
/coae catalog status          Last scan time and counts

The catalog dump walks C_CharacterAdvancement.GetAllEntries() once and fans out to all registered collectors, so catalog all only walks the list once. After it finishes, /reload to flush the SavedVariable CoaExporterCatalog to disk; pick it up in WTF/Account/<acct>/SavedVariables/CoaExporter.lua.

The legacy slashes still work as aliases: /skilldump → catalog skills, /talentdumpall → catalog talents, /dispels and /passives map to the catalog list helpers.

Misc

/coae sv on|off               Toggle SavedVariables snapshot of /coae export
/coae debug                   Show collector status
/coae help

UI

/coae (with no args) opens the export window. Two rows of buttons:

• Row 1 — character: All / Talents / Gear / Enchants / MD Gear / MD Enchants / MD Full
• Row 2 — catalogs: Catalog: Skills / Catalog: Talents / Catalog: All / Scrolls: Scan

The window is a plain copy-out box. Ctrl+C after it auto-selects the text.
