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
classic or retail? its working ok for me in retail but i didnt check classic (i dont have a character with a profession there) and blizzard have changed the way those ingredients call the tooltip a couple of times
i just went into classic and i get a warning about the SetRecipeReagentItem function not existing on the tooltip so it looks like blizzard have removed it for classic and item counts on those wont work any more.
ah, looks like they use a different API in classic, i'll update the code so its supported as well
In reply to Arkayenro:
I've just checked with bagnon enabled and profession window tooltip shows counter, so it would be great this to work with Ark
In reply to Arkayenro:
This is in Classic.. but it sounds like you figured that out already :)
Thanks for looking into this
In reply to Arkayenro:
All good now. Thank you!
In reply to Arkayenro:
Actually, looks like this is still (or again?) happening with Enchanting. I can see item counts for Cooking and Tailoring just fine.
I'm trying to create a bar for Classic Hunters which contains all the empty quiver slots and ammo. Here's what I want it to look like:
I can do this using the following rule:
Bag(2) or Type("Projectile")
However, this is not ideal because, since I use the same profile for all my alts, they would also see their Bag(2) being treated as a Quiver.
Leaving out Bag(2) from the rule, i get:
The debug entry for empty quiver slots is as follows:
If the rule syntax allowed Slot to be queried, I could write the following rule which would work for all classes:
type("projectile) or slot("ranged")
Any chance you could add this to the Rule syntax?
just assign the empty > quiver and system > projectile categories to that bar, you dont need rules for this
projectiles might be under consumable, cant remember
Is there a way to toggle between virtual bag and normal bag display?
I have some macros for using stuff placed in specific bag slots (eg bombs, potions, etc) that pretty much require me to know where those slots actually are in the UI.
Alternately, an 'arkinventory' macro command that would allow the equiv of
/use [mod:alt] 0 4 [mod:ctrl] 0 3 [mod:shift] 0 2 [] 0 1
would work.
the only way to guarantee something stays in its current slot would be to open the bag changer window, right click on the bag you have those items in and disable restack for that bag, that should leave everything in there alone but you'll have to clean it up manually when required.
apart from that you could change the /use to use the item name instead of the bag/slot?
if you need to know which bag/slot id its in go into edit mode, click on the item and select debug
in classic, my arkinventory does not sort my bags anymore. it does not delete the empty slots,( e.g. after i vendor all gray items). when i press the sort button nothing happens. any ideas?
reinstalled a serveral times. AI is the only active Addon.
which version do you have installed? if possible make sure its the latest alpha (which is r859 at the moment) and see if its still happening
Toggle wearing then viewing offline characters, shows all empty slots for all characters offline but the current online character works.
Checked config settings profile wearing. Shows monitor greyed but checked. Save checked for all characters.
Help....
thats weird, i'll see if it can figure out where it broke
looks like inventory (wearing) data is no longer always available so i've changed the scanning to not run during login and logout
In reply to Arkayenro:
The current alpha fixed wearing problem.
Thank you for the great mod.
My Warlock is having a "unknown bag" error with ArkInventory trying to ID my 'Small Soul Shard Pouch' in Classic. Error reads:
"WARNING> bag [4] [1.5] [Backpack] type is unknown, queuing for rescan"
This runs constantly at present.
Any advice would be appreciated please?
Seems to have solved the problem - didn't realize that the "classic" files would remain in the addons folder. Deleted them, then edited the .lua file in Saved Variables by deleting "classic" in the first line, and everything is sweet and my profiles in classic now work :-D
2nd update: - didn't work changing lua file - so I just did as Arkayenro advised below and have had to rewrite some aspects that differed between my retail and classic profiles.
TYVVVVM!
Re classic import/export sync. Google found something in 3.06.04 but all I could find is an import button. Is there a way to clone the rules & design (or whatever I can get) to a second account? or import settings from retail?
there is an import/export but its not for the entire config, just parts of it.
youre probably better just copying the entire arkinventory.lua savedvariables file across from retail
Came here just to say thanks for support Classic - this is my favorite addon ever!
after the latest update my categories are no longer working properly, any easy fix?
So for example: in box 11 I have set herbs and cloth to be sorted into 11... however since the latest patch these items are now going into my uncatergorised section (number 1) here is my screenshot to show. (this is on retail) I have not changed a thing, and this worked until the updated version was installed today.
