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

: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 Jun 25, 2016Thanks for your reply!
The thing is that I sell transmog items and I don't want to double post an item on the AH so I want to put all the duplicates in a specific guild tab. Ofc I can check every item's tooltip manually but this takes a huge amount of time. So there's no way to let your Addon check it's own tooltip info so it puts all items that are already on the AH in one bar? This would save me so much time.

Posted Jun 26, 2016theoretically its possible to write code to look for a matching item id thats in the AH location but it would be a fairly intensive rule as it would constantly compare items.
i wrote the rule code so people could write their own rule functions and just add them in so if youre capable of writing lua code you could write it yourself.

Posted Jun 23, 2016Thanks for the Legion version work. I love this addon. Definitely the best and most advanced and most smart addon for bagging in the history of the game.

Posted Jun 22, 2016Hey, normally I had Bagnon installed which displayed whether I had an item in the bank and void storage aswell, so I could easily see if I could sell it. Is there a similar thing in this mod so I don't have to do that manually?

Posted Jun 22, 2016It tracks everything from bank to void Storage and also other Characters.
It is shown beneath the Item tooltip text in orange.

Posted Jun 22, 2016check the options under display > tooltip
item counts for other toons are displayed via the tooltip and you can set which other toons are displayed (just you, faction, realm, all)
you can also use the search window (not the search bar)

Posted Jun 19, 2016Any way to have character-custom groups?
Lets say i use a 2h sword on my warrior in the "pvp" group. When i play my paladin, i dont want it to use that group, because my paladin wants to just vendor it, and has his own pvp item set. Can i have an item assigned to a specific group for a specific character?
This is especially annoying when you (like me) have 10+ characters, and so pretty much every single piece of content-relevant gear is part of some group - so inventory gets more and more cluttered, since you have to manually check items inside sorting groups, and that kind of defeats the whole purpose of those groups.
Could we have option of (1. Assign item X to account group Y) - which would just assign it to a global group like it does by default - or (2. Assign item X to character group Z) - which would assign it to group Z for that character only, while keeping its current group for all other characters?

Posted Jun 19, 2016simplest method is to use a wardrobe addon (or the blizzard one) to create equipment sets and use a rule - outfit( ) - instead of a category. that way the rule would pick up what items the current character has in its equipment sets (which would change for each character)
for the mod to do it right now youd have to use different profiles, which means setting it up multiple times which you wont want to do.
i would have to recode the way the mod works to get the categories to work per character instead of per profile

Posted Jun 18, 2016a 3.06 Legion (or PTR) beta version is now available for download if you want to test it out
please note that there are enough code changes in Legion to make it non usable on the live servers and it will spit out errors if you try to run it there but as the data format hasnt changed you can just roll back to 3.05.12 and youll be fine.

Posted Jun 18, 2016Couldn't get the addon to work.
I first tried to copy my old folder over so I keep all my groups.
when copying the Beta version over that, I still got the bags not a all in one Inventory.
So I tried again without my WoD settings but I had the same Issue.
Ark Inventory
Ark Inventory [Configuration]
Ark Inventory [Rules]
Ark Inventory [Rules Example]
Ark Inventory [Search]
are checked and running.
Addon does not show up Interface/Addons
Just looked into my Bug Graber and I got some Errors (as requested the first linecan provide full if needed):
5x ArkInventory\ArkInventory-3.06.00 LEGION BETA.lua:28: Cannot find a library instance of "ArkDewdrop-3.1
5x ArkInventory\ArkInventoryCompanion.lua:14: attempt to index field 'Const' (a nil value)

5x ...rfaceArkInventoryRules\ArkInventoryRules-3.06.00 LEGION BETA.lua:79: attempt to index field 'db' (a nil value)
Running the WoD version shows the Ark Inventory window but nothing in it and Bags are marked with Error.
Hope this helps you a bit
Edit: I am on a Beta server not on the PTR

Posted Jun 19, 2016sounds like SuF is screwing something up, i can use items without any issues.
not sure about that error as line 54 is just local p = ""
do you get that only with SuF loaded?

Without SuF everything works fine no errors so far. Really happy I don't have to use the bags anymore I am not used to them anymore :)

Posted Jun 17, 2016I have tried writing this a few different ways, but I can not figure it out. Maybe it is not possible, but is there a way to separate cloth armour and cloaks into a rule?
I do a lot of transmog farming for my characters looking for specific gear sets, say for example I am on my Paladin and cloth armour drops, and I want to keep it in a different bar so I can vendor it without having to pay too much attention. My problem is that type( "armor" ) and subtype( "cloth" ) groups cloth armour and cloaks in the same group, but i want to have cloaks in another bar.

Posted Jun 17, 2016see https://github.com/arkayenro/arkinventory/wiki/RuleFunction_EquipLocation
if you want cloaks use equip( "Back" )
if your client is not english then check the debug data for the item (when in edit mode) and use the value you get from there instead of "Back"
just make sure the cloak rule has a lower order than the cloth armor rule or it will get assigned to that instead

Posted Jun 17, 2016please dont post massive error traces (theyre mostly pointless), just include the first line unless i specifically ask for more.
and i know about the legion errors, they were bound to happen when theres a major release so please dont post errors from 3.5.12 in the PTR or Beta client, only 3.6 or higher which are legion updated (just not released yet)
