ArkInventory
ArkInventory (for Retail, Classic, and Cataclysm)
The NoLib variant
it seems quite a few people are somehow getting the NoLib variant from their download client when they didn't specifically ask for it instead of the full variant and its causing issues as they don't have the required libraries installed separately. Please ensure you are downloading the full variant. if you see nolib in the filename then its the wrong variant, unless you are actually installing all of the required libraries separately as well. If you have to you can manually download the full variant from here.
Junk Sell getting blocked
While auto-destroy remains blocked, From 30960 onwards you can setup a Key Binding to manually sell and destroy your items. Note that blizzard require one keypress per deletion, so if you have multiple items that need to be deleted you will need to press the Key Binding multiple times. A message will be output if you have remaining items that can still be deleted.
Alpha / Beta Versions: Ensure you make a backup copy of your saved variables file
Sometimes you cannot revert back to a previous version without a backup so before installing any alpha/beta version please make sure you have made a backup of your saved variable file
Your saved variable file is normally located in ...\World of Warcraft\_client_\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
If you have your download client set to automatically download alpha/beta versions then it is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate backups of your saved variables file - do not complain if you lose your configuration or it gets screwed up because of an alpha/beta version, it is always a possibility so you need to be prepared.
A simple way to back it up is to just do a copy and paste then rename the new file (using the version number of ArkInventory or the date is a good idea), eg ArkInventory-30900.lua, or ArkInventory-20191228.lua

If you are having an issue then the first step is to disable all other mods and just test ArkInventory by itself
If the issue is still there then please check for an existing issue and lodge a new ticket if required.
If the issue is gone then re-enable your other mods one by one until the issue comes back, then report that to me as well as the other mods author
When posting a comment about an error please do not include the list of addons or really long traces, just the actual error message is fine. If I need more I'll ask you for it.
ArkInventory's display windows are built from "virtual bars", you assign categories to bars so that items in that category are displayed on the specific bars you want. There is no limit to the number of bars you can have inside a window but obviously you only have so much screen real estate before it becomes "too many".
ArkInventory uses several methods to assign a default category to an item such as what professions you have, tooltip scanning, basic type/subtype and PeriodicTable. You then assign those categories to a virtual bar.
You can also over-ride the default category by creating a rule that matches either a single or multiple items.
Overview:
- user configurable window width and height
- separate keybindings for each location for easy viewing
- assign items to a category of your choice (overrides the default assignment)
- assign categories to the bar of your choice
- unlimited number of bars (there are practical limits though before your screen becomes full)
- sort each bar differently if required
- user configurable bars per row
Key Bindings:
Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
click on Key Bindings
scroll down to ArkInventory
bind the keys you want to use

Omg i love this i was looking threugh the bag mods and found this i love it
i love this thing, but when i click on items in my bag it lags a little to pick it up, its worse when moving things in and out of my bank, can i fix this somehow?
Hi all
I will no longer be posting to the arkinventory fans update project due to the amount of changes ark has done in his beta it is impossible for me to find the time to implement the changes i did again and again.
Ark maybe a tip for you (The things i had in mind was working on 1 & 3)
1) Make the project more Object oriented using AceOO 2) Add a plugin to for example mr.plow or implement stacking 3) Make the background(s) texturisable (tga)
btw add close to all menus in the addon (still find it hard to work in edit mode when i changed a frame could open other etc...
Kind regards
I haven't really used this mod alot atm, but as far as I've noticed there doesn't seem to be any "new" indicator, could you add it for items that you just looted? So I know where it went, since I use the auto loot option I don't really see what I loot.
An option to colour the background of bars independently from each other, would be nice.
and last, just a visual option but not really useful in any way, would be the ability to dock groups either to center, left or right, atm all of them dock to the right.
Anyway, great work so far, keep it up!
My problem is that i can not open the bags after i use this addon one day. (World of Warcraft v2.0.4)
Error on german client with v1.30 beta 2007-01-13-15-30:
Fehler: attempt to index field 'item' (a nil value) AddOn: ArkInventory Datei:ArkInventory.lua Zeile:1977 Fehler Nummer:4
Same error like Tarannt.
I have found the problem.... the LIB!!! Addon Libary was the Problem...whithout it i have no probs
Yea my Bags reset 2-3 times today too :(
I spent 2 hours sorting my bag perfectly TWICE and it reset on logout. also my custom categories disappear.
Thanks alot :)
"How do you add Custom Categories?"
option menu > custom categories > add new category > type in a name and press enter
"somehow it just freezes for 2 secs and then responds is this normal"
i'm not sure, i've turned debug on and then moved the window around the screen and most times it'll totally lockup for a couple of seconds and then come back - but AI hasn't processed anything, nor did an event trigger. it could just be that the window has a lot of elements on it and the blizzard ui doesn't like moving that much stuff around? it's not consistent as well, it only seems to happen very infrequently (except the first time)
How do you add Custom Categories?
"all i want is a different setup in my bank window then i have in my backpack."
nearly done, the majority of the options will be local to each window except the obviously global things and an items category, which i presume you won't want to change, you just want to change what bar a category lives on in the different windows?
ok well that sorts that out ;)
next question is, why is it that when i got the bank window openend it causes "lag" when u move stuff around... somehow it just freezes for 2 secs and then responds is this normal or it this a bug that is caused by another addon??
Relaxed
At the moment this is not possible, it's one of the things at ark's todo list.
Kind Regards
hi ive downloaded and tried this on for size. i love it and all, the only setback for me is that the category numbers correspond from backpack to bank so i cant customize the bank and backpack seperatly they just get linked together, all i want is a different setup in my bank window then i have in my backpack
did i miss something or is this just not possible??
"Is there going to be a search option, like Sanity used to have. to search character or even all characters. With all the excellent new functions in this a search is the last thing I miss."
at this point, no, sanity2 does what it does quite well, i still use it for that purpose myself. the ability to view your alts data was actually an unintentional side effect of being able to view your bank offline. i won't be getting rid of it but i also won't be improving on it either.
