BankStack
BankStack is the leading cause of things moving in your bags and bank.
It:
- sorts your inventory, bank, or guild bank
- fills incomplete stacks in your bank with items from your inventory
- compresses your bags by filling incomplete stacks within them
- puts a chicken in every pot, and pot in every chicken
Quick command reference:
/bankstack
: show configuration/sort
: rearrange your bags/sort bank
: rearrange your bank/sort account
: rearrange your warband bank/sort guild
: rearrange your guild bank/sort {group}
: rearrange whatever group of bags you choose/stack
: fills stacks in your bank from your bags/stack bank bags
: fills stacks in your bags from your bank/stack {group1} {group2}
: fills stacks in group2 from group1/compress
: merges stacks in your bags/compress bank
: merges stacks in your bank/compress {group}
: merges stacks in group/fill
: fill empty slots in your bank from your bags/fill {group1} {group2}
: fill empty slots in group2 from group1/squash {group}
: fill up the front of the group, without sorting anything/shuffle {group}
: completely randomly rearrange the contents of this group
In the /bankstack configuration you'll find sections for "ignore" and "groups". Here's a bit of elaboration on the syntax for those parts.
You need, regrettably, to hear about bag ids first. Each bag has a number which addons use to interact with it.
Unfortunately, what number maps to what bag varies depending on game type. Take a look at https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/BagID
The guild bank is a whole different system, and BankStack has made up the following fake bag ids for it: 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58
To ignore slot 1 of bag 0, the first slot in your backpack, go to the "ignore" panel and put "0 1" into the textfield and click "okay".
Groups are similar. Let's say that you're a herbalist, and only want to do some things to your herb bags.
You could put this into the "groups" textbox: herbs 3,4 Or this: bankherbs 10,11
You now have two custom groups, herbs and bankherbs. Presumably you keep massive herb bags in slots 3 and 4, and are making lots of money from this because you have the two most expensive bank slots as well (10 and 11).
Having created these groups you could:
/stack herbs bankherbs
Which would fill up stacks in your bank herb bags from stacks in your personal herb bags.
Predefined groups are: bank, bags, account, guild, all, and a few more.
Click the "list" button in the groups config to see a full list.
check out TSM (specifically the warhousing module) Idk if you're going to be able to clear every item from your bags, but it can certainly move every single glyph out etc etc.
Bewarned however
1. you need the core TSM (tradeskill master) addon
2. it requires set up. TSM is not an out of the box addon like bankstack. You have to create groups and operations that get applied to those groups...
that said, TSM is awesome. Just be prepared to spend some time thinking about "operations". and creating groups. You'll possibly find something like the TSM groupmaker useful to create wide generic non profession related groups.
Hope that helps. (<3 bankstack but please please update so it sorts without breaking so often!)
would love to have a addon that does that as well if you find one shoot me a pm plz
I have two toons I use mainly for auctions, one shops mats on auction house, and builds items to sell. The other gets the items in mail and lists them on auction.
Is there an addon, or way to modify the addon, to move EVERYTHING from character bags to guild bank?
This would be perfect for those times I have to deal with 300 inbound netherweave bags, that won't 'stack to bank', or 500 stacks of cloth I have to get from mail.
this would let me quickly drop 100 items from my bags to guild bank, so I could get to other mails... etc.
Currently I have to click all the stacks to throw them into guild bank.
Does anyone know what TSM is using to access items in guild banks so rapidly?
Is it only on my guild, or does it sort very very slow?
Drop in Code for config.lua
<code>
local bag_slot_pattern = "^(-?[%d]+):?(.*)$"
add = {

local bag, v = v:match("^(-?[%d]+):?(.*)$")
bag = tonumber(bag)
if bag and v:trim() == "" then
core.db.ignore_bags[bag] = true
core.announce(0, "bag:"..bag.." ignored.", 1, 1, 1)
else
for slot in v:gmatch("(%d+),*") do
slot = tonumber(slot)
local bagslot = core.encode_bagslot(bag, slot)
core.db.ignore[bagslot] = true
core.announce(0, "bag:"..bag.." slot:"..slot.." ignored.", 1, 1, 1)

end
end,
usage = "[bag]:[slot]<,[slot]><,[slot]> (see http://wowwiki.com/BagID)",
validate = function(info, v)

Isn't it possible to implement input for the ignore list like: bag:slot1,slot2? eg. - 4:1,2,3,4
will save us a lot of time this days with the frequent game/system crashes
<code>
local v = "4:1,2,3,4,5,6"
local bag, slots = v:match("^(%d+):(.*)$")
for slot in slots:gmatch("(%d+),*") do
print("bag:"..bag.." slot:"..slot.." ignored.")
end

I am using "conservative sort" with all sliders set to 1 (right).
However sorting hardly works.
I had item tracking addons under suspicion - e.g. TSM tracker or Datastore - but even after disabling those the sorting can fail.
I have no idea what causes the sorting to fail.
Is there a way you could add in a progress indicator for the sort? I'm the most patient person in the world, as long as I know how long I have to wait (haha).
Just for further clarity: If I'm sorting my guild bank and it has, say, 65 moves to make, have a box somewhere that says how many moves are left.
Amazing addon, by the way. Thanks for making it!
This is already built in. You will need an addon that has broker support such as Titan Panel or any broker bar, but I always used Bagnon's built in broker feature for this personally since I don't like bars. It will do exactly as you described. Hope that helped.
Awesome. I had thought I'd seen a countdown somewhere in bankstack before, and I guess it was before I stopped using Titan. Thanks for the heads up!
Yea, we all miss the guild sorting feature. I'm prretty sure most of us originally found this addon to sort guild banks, however I don't think it's the author's fault for it not working anymore. Blizzard introduced changes that in terms introduced lag between the server and client. No idea why blizzard did this... I guess they needed resources else where and throttled our guild banks. Nonetheless, we do need a fix for this... a way to override the auto stop function perhaps?
I adore this addon and I wish so much that the guild bank sort feature would finally be fixed.
No matter what processing delay I select for guild (I've tried them all, multiple times at 1), it sorts a few peices, stops and soons gives me an error that says, "BankStack: Confusion. Stopping."
It USED to work (and how I miss it!).. but something on Blizz's side or in an update to the addon went amiss and broke it.
If I try to sort with "cautious guild" selected, the only thing it seems to change is first giving me an "Internal guild error" before giving the "BankStack: Confusion. Stopping" error.
I've tried other addons (Genie and Mr. Plow) in hopes of something similar yet none of them seem to have this exact feature which sorts across all tabs. Please fix! :(
i agree i used this addon every single day i've had it installed but the guild feature is also broke for me as the other poster stated.
i've tried every single settings to try to get this to work once again with the guild but either it work's and it's really really slow or it get's a error and stop's.
the sort bag/bank features work for me only thing is the guild feature and i miss it terribly also!
big fan of your addon and appreciate the work you put into it and hope it get's fixed!
Would it be possible to send a specific item type to a specific group? IE, define bag 4 as your "Cloth" bag, and then send all cloth to it on sort? Another could be a "Quest" bag, and so on.
I've set this myself by having it simply ignore my last bag and sort those items out myself, but I'd love a simpler solution.
Internally it's already doing something similar to that. The only problem is that it's not actually exposed to you through some sort of helpful UI.
In fact, to demonstrate the general easiness of it: https://gist.github.com/kemayo/5939099
If you caused that bit of lua to run, you'd have a new slashcommand `/movecloth` which would work like `/movecloth 0,1,2,3 4` to move all cloth from bags 0,1,2,3 to bag 4.
Ignore the slot number your hearthstone is in, then it will not be sorted.
For bottom left slot in your backback > put your hearthstone here, ignore slot 0 13 it will then stay there every time you sort your bags.
(use the slash commands or type in the slot number under: game menu >interface>addons>bankstack> ignore )
To locate which slot is which you read the information above - or go to http://www.wowwiki.com/BagId
The addon does have several clever ways to sort your bags. Read the information about the addon and *you* can customise the sort - by quest item, subcategory, tradegood etc...you need to read the information provided tho!
would be nice to see a update so WoW does not say its out of date anymore, also does anyone know how to make it so the hearthstone for example is the first or last in the sort order?
idk why but i always liked to sort my bag starting at the bottom & i always like my heathstone being the very first 1 so i can find it faster
ty for this wonderfull addon its got my + & fav
i just started using Elvui also i cant say im a fan of that built in sorter as much idk why it just does not do stuff in the same order & does not seem to have alot of options so i always still use this 1 + bagnon not a fan of there bagnon type built in addon too lol
I'm not sure this addon is the problem, but it happened right after I installed it: I was crafting some items, and the crafting was able to continue, even though my bags were full. My mats was disappearing and the items I made vanished into thin air. I didn't think such a thing was possible, but apparently it was.
