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
See ReadMe.txt and VersionHistory.txt for further details
In reply to mradicsh:
Just wanted to confirm that this was the case for me too. The option "Install Libraries Separately" was enabled for ArkInventory - turning this off and clicking update again seems to correct the issue.
I'm not sure why this would be set. It doesn't seem to be for other addons individually, and the overall setting in Twitch is set to off. Anyway, try unchecking this by right clicking on ArkInventory individually and hopefully it'll work again. (You'll need to restart wow as the file structure will change.)
PS - @Arkayenro - thanks as ever for the update. And thanks to @Koviko for keeping us sane in the meantime!
3.08.23 should be available and should work ok with 8.1.5 but there may be some issues i didnt notice (this was just a quick fix to get it out there)
and a very big thankyou to @Koviko for helping everyone out while i was away on holiday
In reply to Arkayenro:
Thank you so much for updating this awesome addon. I think it is my favorite addon in the game, and I use quite a few. :)
I missed it so much, but hope you had a wonderful holiday. Congrats on doing such a great job with this addon.
So far it's working fine.

In reply to Arkayenro:
Doesn't work. No error messages in chat. Ru locale.
In reply to Unplayed:
Mine works just fine so far. Will report any errors as they pop up, but so far so good. Thank you so much for updating. This is also my favorite addon. I've spent years personalizing my bags and I was dying with another addon because I almost destroyed/sold extremely important items at least 20 times.
Unplayed: Try installing something like Swatter!. It will post any addon errors as they crop up that don't trigger a chat warning and will do so in a manner that allows you to copy/paste the error so you can send it to the developers and they can isolate what line of code is causing the issue.
In reply to Unplayed:
Check off option 'Install Libraries Seperately'
In reply to Unplayed:
i changed mine to RU language and didnt get any obvious errors so it doesnt look like a translation issue
could you try updating again? make sure the game is not running when you update
In reply to zaiats_2k:
Thanks for info!
In reply to zaiats_2k:
Wow!.. This recipe fixes addon. Now it works perfectly!
Well all thank you for your time and effort!!
Check ArkInventory's GitHub for an unofficial fix while we await an update on Curse.

In reply to Koviko:
Are you taking the project over good sir?
In reply to zanisdawn:
The project isn't abandoned. The author will be updating it in a few days.
I'm just being a good citizen in the meantime. ^_^
In reply to Koviko:
Thank you so much for updating us on this addon. I can barely play without it. It's one of the best addons in the game. :)
Are you going to update this mod? Applying workarounds is one thing, but actually updating it to work right from the install would be ideal. I have used this mod for years and would to have to go to something less useful.
In reply to SysterSynn:
Same... used Ark for years... tried a few things and still had errors. Bad enough that even if I get it to somehow temp work, I would have to redo all my editing.
I opted for the higher used Bagnon. It's ok... simple and has other features which titan panel usually handles, but I didn't find the cool option that made Ark so cool... editing down to the exact category. So I don't love Bagnon, but until Ark gets fixed to run right from the gate, it will have to do.
In reply to Brandamoor:
I am actually not even using a bag mod right now. In my opinion the ability to assign bags for trash and crafting supplies and gear is better than no sorting.. I do miss my highly sorted ARK and for sure miss my various gear spec sorting.. but it is what it is.. I hope they give it a complete update soon.
In reply to SysterSynn:
Another update was done this afternoon. Installed it and zero issue! Thanx Arkenyo, have used your app since you posted it and I have never seen a more helpful mod since the beginning of the game. Syster, you're definitely not the norm when it comes to enjoying the original bags...
In reply to SysterSynn:
The patch isn't a workaround, it's the actual code that Arkayenro will likely post when he's back from vacation. It is literally the fix for the issues caused by 8.1.5 and the code you put in now will be almost identical to the official code that is released a few days from now.
Again, it's not a workaround. It's a fix.

I had mine working after applying the 2 files from Koviko but then after updating from Twitch this morning, I was getting the LUA 65 error. So what I had to do,,, I had to go into Twitch and delete my Arkinventory. Then install it and then once again apply the 2 files from Koviko. I am working once again.
