Heads up all: It is so easy to fix the addon version mismatches we get in every version of the game, but that will render addons unusable if this is not done in retail Midnight - it comes down to a simple fix in the .toc file, you open it in an sort of text editor, and there is a line that reads: (This is the one from Ark Retail, which is just Arkinventory.toc, it will be a different .toc depending on what version you are playing on) In Ark it is the very first line -

## Interface: 110205,120000

That is all the game reads to know if an addon is compatible with the version of the game running or not. I think the most recent version has those two in it, unless I added 110205 myself. 110205 is the numbering convention for 11.2.5 - so the reason it is telling you it is not compatble at the moment is that it is looking for the file to have 110207 in it, for 11.2.7. And when Midnight drops, it will look for 120000 theoretically if it drops as 12.0.0. This is a good thing to know because you can manually fix older addons that still would otherwise work, just by editing their .toc files. You will have to do it manually if they are not being updated anymore, every time an update drops from blizz that increments the game version name, but luckily you will be able ot see what is not loading. Those of you who don't know how to even find those files, it is under WorldofWarcraft/_retail_ (or _classic_ or _classic_era)/Interface/Addons/Your Addon Name and then look for the .toc file, and of there are multiple find the one that matches the game version, there can be a single one that covers all of them, or separate ones for each version. But you need to edit it to add the current version in it, or else it will kick it out. And even if it has a FUTURE version in it, like that one has 120000, it still gives an error because it doesn't find an exact match to the current version. it isn't super smart enough to know that the addon is till the same, unless it starts throwing errors, in which case, you are gonna not be able to use it anyway.

Is it possible to make ArkInventory auto-sell when using the Field Repair Anvil? It's NPC 227774, and spawns on the Grizzly Hills Packmaster mount.

Will you be adding decor items to categories?

In reply to gothnate: I hope so, I made a custom category for them and have been adding them all manually myself.

Version 3.12.05-alpha-4 says "incompatible" with Midnight

In reply to PastaMatt: I posted fix above on how to correct those in the .toc file so you never have that issue again, you just have to make sure that you enter the actual game version in the .toc file. Right now, you can still use "out of date" addons, but it is a good idea to learn how to fix it before Midnight makes them automatically be disabled no matter what.

Can we get a update for Midnight please?

In reply to Broeselchen: It was working fine on beta before the last update. I believe they pushed the change that the version has to specifically state 12.0 or it won't load. I think as soon as the version is updated to include 12.0 it will work again.

In reply to Seleukos: I'm posting a guide to fix mismatches in a comment above so everyone can see it for any of their addons to make sure they still work in 12.0, it will apply to these comments too.

Why do my set settings stay the same for different profiles? IO.E.-I have a Druid and maintain one tab as a DPS set, and 1 set as dps. I have a different profile for this character thanb I doi for a Rogue alt. However when I go to Rogue-the DPS and Tank set that I use for the Druid profile show. I thought these would be xclusive of weach other if the Profiles were different?

Hiya-been using your Addon forever-love love it. Recently I wanted to try a Druid with 2 different sets of gear. I have created 2 different tabs, but I am unable to fill the "Color Background" to a different color. I have created 2 tabs-one is DPS the Other is Tank. I was able to color one (background) in but not the other. It's sort of random if it fills, and when it does hitting "ok" in color configurator just erases it. I am able to change the outline colors and the Text colors. I would be happy if there was a way to make the "outline" box thicker and color it, that would achieve the same effect for me to identify the tab box. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

FIXED-I just used a couple of new boxes and wit worked.

If the owner can reproduce this, then it would be nice to fix.

 

EDIT: Same for buying slot in warband bank.

For the record, this is still happening even after the newest patch is installed, on retail, trying to buy a personal bank tab. My bug report is identical.

I added my voice to yours. I missed it because I was looking for people mentioning Legion thinking it was Remix specific.

New error on Remix - I can't buy a bank slot at all. It offers me one, but when I go to buy it, I get an error that says [ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN] AddOn 'ArkInventory' tried to call the protected function 'PurchaseBankTab()'. [Blizzard_StaticPopup_Game/GameDialog.lua]:27: in function <...faceBlizzard_StaticPopup_Game/GameDialog.lua:25>

I'm on 3.12.04 on Retail/Legion Remix.

Just had a very strange problem whereby I could not replace an 8 slot bag with a 16 slot netherweave bag. There was just an error sound but no message. I emptied the bag completely but still the same. I removed the bag and tried to put the netherweave in to the empty bag slot but still no go. I restarted the game but the same problem. I then disabled Arkinventory and reloaded the UI and used the Blizard bag interface. Here it installed the netherweave without any issues and it even swapped the bag out, completely replacing it. he only difference was that it asked in a popup about binding the bag as soulbound to me which it didn't when trying to install the bag with Arkiventory... I'm running the latest version 3.12.04 on MoP Classic...

Temporary fix for the errors:

Interface/Addons/ArkInventory/Core/ArkInventory.lua14545: attempt to compare number with boolean

Interface/Addons/ArkInventory/Core/ArkInventory.lua14383: attempt to compare number with boolean

Open that file in a text editor, go to those line numbers, and replace this:

if ( p.istimerunner or 0 ) > 0 then

with this:

if ( tonumber(p.istimerunner) or 0 ) > 0 then

I am not a lua developer and do not know if there are other implications to this, but I have achieved stability with this change. There is similar code elsewhere in the file that MAY also benefit from being similarly changed, but I have not encountered errors beyond these 2 line numbers.

I'm getting errors with the new patch:

Interface/Addons/ArkInventory/Core/ArkInventory.lua14545: attempt to compare number with boolean

and:

Interface/Addons/ArkInventory/Core/ArkInventory.lua14383: attempt to compare number with boolean
