ArkInventory
ArkInventory (for The War Within)
:boom: Please ensure you are using the latest alpha version if you have the War Within client.
ArkInventory (for Retail, Classic, and Cataclysm)
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
- sell junk items automatically or manually (delete available via a keybinding or right clicking when at a vendor)
- random pet and mount summons. can also assign a group of them to select from
Key Bindings:
- Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
- click on Key Bindings
- scroll down to AddOns > ArkInventory
- bind the keys you want to use

:memo: If the issue is still there, please check for an existing issue and create a new issue if required.
:memo: If the issue is gone, re-enable your other mods one by one until the issue comes back, then note the last mod you enabled in your issue as well as notifying the author of the other mod
See ChangeHistory.md for changes to the latest version. See VersionHistory.md for all previous changes.
:boom: 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. 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 CurseForge, WoWInterface, or Wago.
:boom: 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 item 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.
:warning: Ensure you have backup copies of your saved variables file
Sometimes you cannot revert back to a previous version without a backup, especially alpha or beta versions, so before upgrading please make sure you have made a backup of your saved variables file
Your saved variables file is normally located at ...\World of Warcraft\_client_\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
It is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate backups of your saved variables file. You dont have to do them frequently, just after you've made major changes to your config is probably fine for most people, but you should get into the habit of making backups because when it does corrupt you wont have to reconfigure everything from scratch.
If you have your download client set to automatically download alpha/beta versions you should definitely have backups.
A simple way to back up the saved variables file 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

Posted Jan 8, 2015in the item count check which location has the old data then open that location with the current toon, switch character, select old character name, select delete all
if you cant find it then enter the following into your chat window;
/run ArkInventory.EraseSavedData( )
it will erase all saved data for all characters

Posted Jan 8, 2015Is there a way to set up the bag format and have it be the same for bank. I.e. have the bank use/inherit the bag settings so that when I add/change settings for my bag, those new groups/virtual bags are the same in my bank?

Posted Jan 7, 2015Hello,
Excellent AddOn. I have a macro that the first 3 slots in the last bag are reserved for use with items like in a quest, etc. ( /use 4 1 ) When I just used the standard interface, the bags were easy to find those slots.
What I would like to do is create a bar that only contains the 3 slots I have reserved for the macro. Is there a way to do this? I have the entire last bag in a bar, but I also have a bar of "empty slots" already.

Posted Jan 7, 2015at the moment you can only assign entire bags to a bar. i didnt add slots as i thought it would make the assignment menu too cumbersome

Posted Jan 7, 2015the cleanup function uses the standard blizzard function so it should alrady do what you want - although you may have to enable the deposit to reagent option under cleanup for the reagent bag so it does that every time your at the bank

Posted Jan 7, 2015I really hope I am not missing the bits in this great addon, but would it be possible to have ArkInventory Restacking function also move items into special bags and the new reagents-bank if they fit there ?

Posted Jan 12, 2015This is really weird. After your post I have retried the cleanup without changinmg any settings and it worked as expected. And this is exactly what I did before.
I know that I changed a few settings at the last test including the deposit reagent option (which I do not find back right now). Possibly the setting i sonly effective after a client restart.
So sorry and thanks at the same time from me :-)

Posted Jan 5, 2015Actually, I just found another mod called PetBreedID which does better than the little icons. It puts text codes... HH SS HB etc in the tooltips, and these ARE showing in your tooltips.

Posted Jan 4, 2015I've read the wiki and even tried various rules, but came up blank...
Is there a way to split out Battle Pets by their individual families? elemental, beast, critter, etc?
I tried using type("1"), subtype("1"), type("beast"), subtype("beast"), and even tooltip("Beast") but nothing worked. I sort of thought the tooptip() function would have worked, but perhaps its because battle pet tooltips aren't normal tooltips? I dunno.
Now I have a feature request ;-)
On the Pets and Mounts (and toys also?) windows, how about something that just shows the number of items in the particular collection. I have a shitton of pets. Looking at the display in ArkInventory and it's just a massive array of icons. How about down at the bottom it just says something like...
Number of Pets in Collection: xxx

Posted Jan 4, 2015petcanbattle( ) and pettype( "humanoid" )
if you dont care if it can participate in battles then just use pettype. i also updated the wiki to include the pet rule functions
i presume you have the status frame off? (the one at the bottom that shows the gold amount) - if so then turn that on, or if its on check config > settings > location > window > frames > status > empty slot text > show

Posted Jan 4, 2015Thanks for the info! Spot on. That's exactly what I was trying to figure out with the categorization of pets.
Also the status bar thing worked too. I had suspected that this was already doable because my mounts screen shows the number of mounts. I just didnt have the status turned on for pets.
I do have one more suggestion though. (sick of me yet? lol) I really like what you do with the basic Pet tooltip. The ArkInventory enhanced version is MUCH better than the original. But I noticed there's one thing missing. It's the icon associated with the breed. For example, an HH pet has a cluster of hearts for its icon. Speed pets have the little white-ish arrow for their icon. These icons aren't shown in your tooltip. Maybe make them optional?

Posted Jan 4, 2015i think you have another mod showing pet breeds on the tooltips as last time i looked theres no API to get that value, i'll have a look as if theres an API fucntion for it now then that would be great

Posted Jan 4, 2015next version will have a new items category that you can assign to any bar like normal - you can then enable new items and they'll all go into that category (and that bar) temporarily until the cutoff period you specify runs out, then they go back to their normal category
it'll be separate to the current item age display options in case people want both

Posted Jan 4, 2015Awesome mod. The only thing I miss after switching from T-Bag is a "Highlight New" feature. Say, a button in the top bar next to "Refresh", "Bag Changer" etc, that would highlight only the items with a current Item Age on them. And by highlight I mean it would look like it does when you search for an item, not the normal new item glow (which unfortunately goes away when you hover over the item). A search-style highlight is incredibly useful for quickly finding new things in your bags from your current session (think all the stuff you get from Garrison salvage crates). I'd even take a search term ("age<20") or something if you don't want to make a UI button for it.
Thanks for the great addon.

Posted Jan 4, 2015Is there any way to stack unstable items using this addon? Baggins and AdiBags have this feature, and it's really convenient, but they don't have the customizability of ArkInventory.

Posted Jan 4, 2015use the outfit rule, one for each outfit, and make sure you use category in your sort method, it should then sort them so that all the items for each gear set stay together (presuming you put them all on the same bar)

Posted Jan 3, 2015Hello,
is it possible to add an option that ArkInventory can sort by Gear Set ?
So I have different Gear Sets, Tank, DPS, Heal.
I want to move the sets automatically to an category, is this possible ?
