  • About ArkInventory
  •  

AI'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".

AI 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:

  • unlimited number of bars (there are practical limits though before your screen becomes full)
  • assign items to a category of your choice (overrides the default assignment)
  • assign categories to the bar of your choice
  • configurable bars per row
  • configurable width
  • display bank, bag, keyrings for current and alts across all realms
  • separate keybindings for bag, keyring and bank viewing


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

FAQ is here http://code.google.com/p/arkinventory/wiki/FAQ. Please ensure you read it first before posting a problem

Beta Versions:

ensure you make a backup copy of your saved variables file before installing a beta version - you normally cannot revert back to the release version without that backup.

your saved variable file is normally located in World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua

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 AI is a good idea), eg ArkInventory-3-01-09.lua

Latest Notes:
3.02.34 (09-FEB-2010) BETA 23-37

  • fixed - openallbags (shift+b) should now work more like the blizzard version (it's not exactly the same but it is more logical)
  • fixed - EraseSavedData( ) function was leaving some data intact, specifically guild bank gold

3.02.33 (02-FEB-2010) BETA 21-42

  • added - fix corrupted categories caused by earlier betas

3.02.32 (02-FEB-2010) BETA 20-55

  • fixed - issue with conversion of custom categories

3.02.31 (30-JAN-2010) BETA 10-46

  • fixed - status bar not unhiding
  • fixed - rule conversion issues

    3.02.30 (29-JAN-2010) BETA 18-57
  • changed - bar names are no longer displayed by default
  • changed - bar names are now on the inside of the bar and will swap between top and bottom depending on item anchor point
  • changed - sorting is now done through sort methods, you create a sort method and then assign it as a window default (sort of like rules), you can then assign a different sort method to a bar so it sorts differently from the rest of the window
  • changed - bar movement menu options moved to bar menu (for less clicking)
  • changed - bar movement - reduced to 2 options, "move" and "move > complete"
  • changed - item counts now recognize learnt pets and mounts being the same as the item they are learnt from (note this is a manually maintained table, see companion.xls, so may not be 100% complete or accurate)
  • changed - LDB mount object - will only allow choices from a list of mounts it knows about (see companion.xls) so some of your mounts may not be available. if your mount isnt listed you raise a ticket with its name/spell id and i'll add it
  • changed - LDB mount object - can now select a ground and a flying mount
  • changed - LDB mount object - random option now selects a mount based on whether the area you are in is flyable or not, and will fall back to a random ground mount in flyable areas if you dont have any valid flying mounts
  • changed - LDB mount object - random option will never select mounts with requirements, such as the standard AQ mounts, even if you meet those requirements
  • changed - LDB pet object - will only allow choices from a list of pets it knows about (see companion.xls) so some of your pets may not be available. if your pet isnt listed you can raise a ticket with its name/spell id and i'll add it
  • changed - LDB pet object - random option will never summon pets that need reagents, like snowballs, even if you have the required reagent
  • changed - borders now use sharedmedia - all borders have been reset to blizzard tooltip
  • changed - backgrounds now use sharedmedia
  • added - config option for how much space/padding to allocate for bar names, default is 12
  • added - LDB mount object - option for minimum mount speed when random is selected
  • added - keybindings for pet and mount summons
  • added - support for tracked currencies, set via the standard blizzard interface
  • fixed - issue where deleting an entire stack or learning a pattern/recipe wasnt updating its item count
  • fixed - honor points should now use the proper faction icon
  • fixed - arena points should now use the proper icon
  • removed - conversion of old data structures prior to v3 is no longer possible. if you have a version that old then you will need to delete your arkinventory saved variables file

    I started having a problem just yesterday and can't figure out what it is. I had everything in my inventory seperated. Soulbound gear/potions/food/profession items/quest items ect. Now whenever I log in. I get an error and it completely wipes my setup. It's like it deleted the .lua cause I lose the scaling the special bag sections, everything. Now I even logged back out. Deleted the .lua, backed up from the .lua.bak and relogged with no other addons and still had same error.

    This is a really usefull mod, thank you very much for your efforts with it! I have a bag called ToSell and as an example after I get a drop in an instance and put the new item on I then move the old item into the ToSell bag, but to do this I have to click on the cog to enter edit mode and then click on the item and go down to custom to choose ToSell.

    Is there a way of assigning a macro or shortcut so all I would have to do it for example ALT + Click on it?

    Thanks.

    no, its not meant for that sort of use because if you had say a druid and a rogue and upgraded a rogue piece that your druid also had for its cat set that item would be marked 'tosell' for both toons and youd potentially vendor it on your druid when you didnt mean to.

    item categories are meant to be mostly permanent.

    ArkInventory is showing me guild currency from an old guild. I followed http://code.google.com/p/arkinventory/wiki/UserGuide_EraseData but when I go to switch character on the guild bank window, that guild does not come up in the list because I am no longer in it. When I mouse over the currency in ArkInventory the currency from that guild still comes up even though I erased all data for all my characters and the guilds in guild window.

    With this latest beta I experienced a strange iussue.
    Sometime I "lost" the backpack bag. It appears "???" on the backpack on the bag changer and I lost the content on the main view. The ldb text appears, i.e., as 0,yy instead of only yy (being the backpack full).

    I don't know if it could be related to this message that sometimes appearing:
    [19:18:48]ArkInventory: Saved bag data for PlayerName has been erased

    A /rl or after sometime seems to solve the problem.

    Any idea ?

    I had it disabled. Now it is enabled... and the problem is not appearing again. Could it be the problem ?

    Btw: what about the close button ? :-)

  • Arkinventory has become one of my favorite addons and I wouldn't want to play as much without it. But something just happened, first time ever. It lost some of my settings on all of my toons. The appearance is still right (colors, etc) but it lost the scale, and it lost all the bag settings. So everything is back in 1 category/bag again. Is there any way to recover? Do I have to delete my saved variables? I tried simply recreating my settings but I can't find a very important one which is responsible for making items all stick together at the top of each bag. So now I have items just sitting in whatever spot I left them in, and clicking Refresh doesn't do anything any more. So should I delete saved variables? Or even reinstall? I don't understand why this happened, I didn't have any other problems with WoW on the same day. Oh, with just one exception to that statement. I accidentally opened two copies of the game from my desktop, and ended up at the select character screen on one of them, then hid that window, went away for a meal, came back and opened the other copy of the game and played. Maybe that resulted in this data corruption or something?

  • I also had most of my settings reset for some reason. I was playing in the morning, no crashes or anything. Then I logged in half an hour ago, settings gone. At least I have a relatively fresh backup, so don't have to configure it from scratch.

  • Ok, I figured out the "clicking refresh doesn't do anything any more" problem... it was just that, since my settings were somehow lost, I had to re-set the setting for custom sorting within the bars, and choose some things to sort by (e.g. item level, age, quality, etc.) and now they auto-sort like they used to. I must have been using that option before and just forgot.

    That doesn't address how my settings got lost, though; maybe we will never know. What was particularly odd was that it did not coincide with any crash or unexpected shutdown; the only coincident thing was that unplanned existence of two WoW clients in the same desktop, with one parked at the choose-character screen. So this might be a clue to a bug to test for, making sure that that situation (although it should be pretty rare) doesn't trash someone else's bag configurations.

    check your addon updater, make sure its only downloading release versions as it sounds like you may have auto downloaded/installed one of the betas

  • It doesn't seem to automatically refresh anymore, I have to do it manually.

    And the names of Bars are gone.

    check the sort and bar name options, the defaults for those have changed so you may have to tick them again

    I have weird error for some time now. As i'm milling huge quantities of herbs sometimes i come across stack that just cant be milled.
    It look like this - stack of 20, use milling, click on stack, cast bar pop up and finish and nothing, stack of 20, no error, no loot.
    Split stack to 4x5 - three will mill and one still give this.
    Reloadui does not help, only relog helps.
    I just wonder if this is connected to ArkInventory or problem lies deeper.

    its a blizzard issue, if you split the stack eventually youll be able to mill some of them, same for prospecting ore, as you collect more you can eventually mill or prospect all of it

    Somewhat fun bug with the beta; for some reason items aren't being sorted correctly, unless I go into edit mode! Then the sort happens and I can go out of edit mode again!

    FWIW I play on a very laggy realm (Silvermoon-EU) and it does seem to be lag related - in the early morning it doesn't seem to occur, but during the 7pm busy period....
