AdiBags - WoW AddOns

AdiBags display the content bag in one view, gather into several sections using smart filters.

It is heavily inspired by Nargiddley’s Baggins.

Configuration is available through Blizzard addon panel, /adibags chat command or right-clicking on the LDB plugin.

Important note about localized filters: some filters rely on translations from LibBabble-Inventory-3.0 so if some of them behave strangely in your locale, please take a look at the library translation status.

Also see the feedback section at the end of this page.

Features

smart filters are used to dispatch items into several sections, including:
- item sets of the Blizzard’s gear manager (one section per set),
- junk items,
- quest items,
- equipment (items your character can wear),
- sections based on item category: trade goods, consumables, recipes, ...
- manual filtering,
- ammunition and warlocks’ soul shards,
- free space.
smart item sorting inside each section,
smart section layout,
new item tracker,
bag tidy,
name-based search,
equipped bag panel,
display character money in the backpack,
display character tokens in the backpack,
LDB data source displaying free space,
two bag layout modes:
- anchored: unlock and move the anchor,
- manual: move the bags by dragging their title.

Things that likely will not be implemented

Anything else than the existing “all-in-one” views

AdiBags has been built around, and optimized for, the idea of the “all-in-one” view. Doing anything would require to redesign big parts of the addons, especially the layout code that is quite complex at the first place.

Anything that requires to scan item tooltips

Tooltip scanning is quite CPU-consuming and above all requires asynchronous programming, since item tooltips would not always be available at the time AdiBags should use them. This would raise the complexity of bag filtering be an order of magnitude and turn AdiBags into a CPU hog.

Some examples what requires to scan the item tooltips:

detecting the kind and state of binding: unbound, soulbound, bind-on-pickup, bind-on-equip…
detecting already known spells/pets/recipes or faction/race/level/skill/class restrictions ; basically any “red text” in the tooltip.

Guild bank

AdiBags presents you a nice view of your bags but actually they are in a complete mess. With AdiBags, there is no need and no way to tidy up the items in the actual bags. Guilds usually try to keep their bank tidy. What would happen if some people in a guild used AdiBags for the guild bank ? Well, they would mess up the guild bank content and people NOT using AdiBags would have to deal with that mess. I can hear the screams from there. So that is why I will not implement guild bank.

Alt bags and bank

AdiBags is not an alt bags/bank viewer. If you want to keep track of what your alt owns, I suggest using an addon like BagSync.

Bag skinning

Who need it anyway ?

Comprehensive in-game filter/section editor

According to my experience with Baggins, comprehensive editor is awful to write as an author and awful to use as an user. Hence I focus on creating filters that have a smart built-in behavior and only a few options. I try to avoid the 20% of features that would require 80% of development effort.

Separate modules

I have written two separate modules for AdiBags:

AdiBags_Outfitter: add filters for Outfitter item sets.
AdiBags_PT3Filter: add filters based on LibPeriodicTable-3.1 categories.

Tips & tricks

you can create your own sections using the “manual filter” in filter configuration. You can then drag and drop items on section titles to reassign them ; this works for any section.
if you want to highlight new items without putting them into a specific section, edit the “new items” filter priority to put it at the end of the filter list.

Known issues

All items are always news / new items are not deteteced / item sets are not working: AdiBags is (ab)using the game API to emulate some features that is was not meant to do. It relies on some timings that depend on your computer speed, your realm server and/or your network connection (because the game is inherently asynchronous). In some cases, it just does not work and there is almost nothing I can do because I cannot reproduce the bug to diagnose it and to try to fix it. So basically, if the new item or item set filters are not working for you, there is little chance I can fix it.

WoWace forum thread
Bug tracker

A word about submitting bug reports: I do not care about “it doesn’t work, fix it!” messages. I need to know how it failed and a way to reproduce the bug so I can test it and make sure I fix it. Also, bug reports are not in the “fire and forget” kind of things. I may have to ask you some details.

Thank you! I love how AdiBags works right out of the box, and as a relative beginner I also appreciate the ease of the customization options. The one thing I've been searching teh intartubes for is a way to eliminate or reduce the frequency with which the AdiBags window is redrawn/resized/reshaped. Is there a setting that I'm just missing? I've tried adjusting the columns and maximum height (and I can't even figure out from observation what, exactly, the height one is adjusting). I realize that AdiBags is redrawing in order to accommodate the item category sections, which is one of the things I use it for, but it would be great if I could make the window stay the same size/shape during any given session.

I'll repeat that I love AdiBags and am grateful for the work you put into it. The resizing is annoying enough that I checked out some of the alternatives, but I still prefer AdiBags.

First thing first, great addon, one of my favorites and definitively the best all-in-one-bag.

I have a bit of an issue, that I would like to fix, but this is going to be hard to explain :)

I might have missed some setting, but a really annoying thing happens often when I am selling stuff quickly to a vendor. I start right-clicking on each item, I want to sell, often whole categories are going to the vendor.

As I have sold a few items, the bag interface decides to re-arrange everything, as there is now enough space free to move another category of items up. Basically one moment I am right-clicking to sell a vendor trash and the next I am right-clicking on my secondary set and selling it of, because the interface clearly doesnt like me. :P

Is there anyway to stop it from doing this? Maybe having the addon not cleaning up unused space while the bag-window is open or something along those lines?

Void Storage support would definitely be appreciated. I want to organize my sets into different custom categories.

Any chance that AdiBags will work with void storage?

Love the addon all around, thanks so much for all of your hard work!

Why don't you just activate out of date add-ons ? Most add-ons will work this way, and AdiBags does.

HI,

I just updated Adibags with the newest curse add-on, now WoW says it's out of date. So I can't use your awesome add-on that I've been so accustomed to. Is something going haywire on your end too?

Thanks
