This addon will help you keep a certain number of specific items in your inventory. By giving the addon a list of items, and the number of units you wish to keep in your inventory, the addon will try its best to maintain that level every time you visit the bank.
The addon works both ways. If you have configured the addon to keep a certain number of mana potions in your inventory, and when visiting your bank you have more than that number of units, the addon can be configured to deposit the oversupply into the bank, if there's room. Likewise, if you should happen to have fewer items in your inventory, the addon will try to withdraw the missing number of items from the bank, if possible.
The addon does not talk to vendors, so it will never sell any items in your inventory, nor will it try to buy the missing number of items if you visit a vendor that supplies it. For an addon that will buy and sell items as well, check out Reagent Restocker.
The addon will also modify the tooltip of items it has been configured to keep a supply level of, to tell you how many units to keep in your inventory, and will also optionally remind you when you leave the bank (and didn't have enough to resupply), and when you log on.
The command is fully command-line driven, so you can control every aspect of it through macros. A GUI, or LDB-integration is on the to-be-looked-into list and might surface in a later version.
In order to control the addon, you have two commands:
/supplies
/supp
These do the same so use the one that makes sense to you. If you don't specify any arguments, the commands will present a short help text listing the available verbs to control it. You can also ask the addon to give you more help for each verb.
For instance:
/supp help add
/supp help list
/supp add [Major Mana Potion] 20
/supp add [Major Healing Potion] 20 surplus
The first two will invoke the help system, the last two will add mana and healing potions to the list, asking the addon to try to keep 20 items in your inventory when you visit your bank. The healing potions, however, will not be deposited to the bank if you have more than 20, but if you have more than 20 mana potions, the extra items will be deposited.
Check out the help text to find more information:
/supp help
To get support, send an email to the following email address:
Please describe the problem, or feature request, or question, in as much detail as you possibly can, as this will make it easier for me
to fix the bug, implement the feature, or answer your question.
A few minutes later you should get a reply email from my automated issue system, which will confirm that your email has been received, containing a link that you can use to track the status of your issue, or provide more information.
My subversion repository, where I submit changes to any of the addon files, can be access through the following URL:
Web View of Source Code Repository
You need to log in with the username 'guest' and password 'guest', both without the quotes.
If you wish to just download a current zip file (new zip files are posted any and all changes committed to the repository), you can access them here:
Web View of Binary Repository
Same username and password as above, and the latest version is the one at the bottom (If I figure out how to reverse the order I'll update this page).
Note that the most current version can contain bugs, but should not. I test the addon before I commit the changes, but occasionally bugs will slip past. My apologies for the inconvenience.
#72: Added: per-item reminder thresholds; can now configure each item to
have a separate lower and upper threshold for when reminders should be
given to visit the bank
#80: Added: Addon now remembers the number of units in the bank for each
item on the supply list, from the last visit to your bank. Various
messages from the addon have been adjusted to include this number.
#81: Fixed: Missing title over keyboard bindings in Key Bindings dialog.
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.
