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

: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
Does this support Pawn's green arrow to notify if the item in your bags is an upgrade or not?
I left a message on the Pawn addon forum here and they said its a bag design issue.
I couldnt see an option in your settings to show the arrow so I've gone back to Baganon but would prefer to use your addon if possible.
Thanks.
I´m getting this error message and arkinventory is not sorting my item to the correct categories
ArkInventory: Warning> aborted scan of bag 1, location 1 [Bag] size returned was 0
the game said your bag size was zero, its a bug, so i have to wait and rescan it again.
it should eventually return the correct data and the items in that bag will update
Any word on when/if you'll be adding in the ability for us to see our upgrade arrows on the icons in the bag?
3.07.23 - but blizzard dont set it. pawn works though
Hi, I recently switched from Bagnon to ArkInventory but there is one thing that I'd like to know: In Bagnon the item tooltip with the item counts of different chars each character had his own line, but in ArkInventory it may do a line break if the character name is too long (especially if an item is in the bag AND the bank). Is there a way do prevent that line break?
Edit: http://imgur.com/a/95AVA
i dont change the widths of the tooltips to fit the text im adding, what youre seeing is the line wrapping to fit inside the toopltip width, its not me adding a like break.
checking/setting the tooltip width every 0.2 second refresh will increase the cpu requirement add may cause some lag but ill look into it
Hello. I love your addon.
I am having the same issue as others. Arkinventory will not show upgrade arrows over items that are an upgrade for me. I use pawn.
ive added it into my working copy but the icons never show - and they never show in the default ui for me either - so not sure if it will work or not
really looking forward to see ArkInventory compatible with Pawn xoxo, thanks for the addon
also, if i add this then other mods, like pawn, wont be able to use the icon for themselves as blizzard are currently returning false for everything so AI will hide the icon all the time.
upgrade arrows are in 3.07.23
I get this error when trying to look at an item's PT set in edit mode. Which I wouldn't need if the latest update hadn't wiped all my rules out.

should be fixed next release
In 7.1, Blizzard added a feature that will place an arrow on an icon in your bag for an item that is considered an upgrade. Addons like PAWN will also place an arrow on inventory items that are considered an upgrade for the character. This works with the default bags and other addons like Bagnon. However, this feature does not work when using ArkInventory. Is there any chance you could make it so the functionality of showing those upgrade arrows could work?
From what I understand this feature relates to the API: IsContainerItemAnUpgrade
i'll take a look
That would be great! Thanks! :)
how do you enable showing them? i dont even see them when using the default bags
They should be enabled by default. Not sure if there even is a way to turn them off in the default UI.
Each button should have a 'UpgradeIcon' property that is shown/hidden based on the result of IsContainerItemAnUpgrade(bagID, slotID)
e.g.
3.07.22 fixed the outfit issue. Thanks!!
