About MakeRoom

Description

MakeRoom is invoked when your inventory is full, and pops up a window with the least valuable grey items in it. The grey items are sorted from least valuable to most valuable. You can destroy the items from the MakeRoom window, by shift-clicking or dragging, to create space for more valuable loot items.

There is a configuration tab on the Blizzard Interface Addons menu to set the item quality that should be considered for discards: poor (gray items), common (white items), and uncommon (green items). This will default to poor quality, but can be set to higher quality if desired.

Dependencies

If you have "Informant" loaded as part of Auctioneer, MakeRoom will use that to get the item prices. If not, MakeRoom uses ItemPrice for vendor prices.

Localization

MakeRoom currently has localizations for enUS, esES, esMX, and deDE. If you can provide translations for the messages for any of the other locales, or want to correct the strings for the existing locales, that would be most appreciated. The webpage to translate the strings is at http://wow.curseforge.com/projects/makeroom/localization/.

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.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Any chance of adding command line options? It'd be nice to be able to (no matter the default settings) run a command that destroys all grey items without a confirmation window.

Is there a reason that this doesn't list food? I'm always picking up things like Darnasian Bleu and it should be dumped way before something I can sell for good money...

when I tell this addon it can destroy white items it ONLY wants to destroy white items. How do I tell it "White or less"?

Hi Gunboat! Great addon! There's one thing that I noticed lately: there's a bag icon in the lower right of my screen. The strata of the window / frame is too low to click on. I tried doing a script that would print back to me the window/frame that I'm hovering over, but it reports nil when I hover over this bag. The bag appeared just after I started using your addon, so I *am* assuming that it's yours, but I haven't verified that yet.

Do you have any clue as to this?

I've tried using MoveAnything! to check if I can identify and hide the frame, but nothing I use seems to be able to notice it. (And I realize that I call it a button -- that's just what it looks like -- but I only can click through it.) It's a button of main backpack, just like the icon you use for MakeRoom, hence why I assume that it's related to your addon (other than the timing, of course).

Is it a little button that just says "MakeRoom"? It might be the LibDataBroker launcher, if you have a framework that displays LibDataBroker launchers. I'm not sure which addon that you're using to display them, so I can't really tell you how to configure it.

If it's a different widget, then could you describe it for me?

To the uninitiated, the "Destroy All" button may lead the user to believe that all items in inventory would be destroyed (I'm parroting a comment from my guild). Recommend rewording it to say "Destroy These" and possibly increasing the number of items from four to 10 or so, with an expanded window, scaled 0.75 or so from current size.

Very useful addon, I use it quite a bit on my strath clears with my DK.

I suspect I'm going to have to hire you to test all this stuff for me. Thank you for yet another excellent suggestion.

Hello

You should definitelly add option to click on the item in make room to remove it or deselect it then change Destroy All to Destroy Selected.

I don't want to destroy all greenies....

gunboat said

The item tooltip should say that you can shift-click an item to delete it from the window. If that isn't clear, I'll figure out a way to make it more clear.

Nice addon!

I think what he means is (and if not then is what I would like) that by doing nothing and clicking destroy all button, all in window are destroyed, but if you could click on items that you don't want destroyed in the window then the destroy all button would only destroy the ones wanted.

Also, could you allow option for warlock shards, and option for food/water to show as well as these are the next things I would destroy if I needed more room for better items.

An option to include anything of the selected quality and below (example, select white, and both white and grey items will come up sorted by price) would be wonderful.

That's the only thing keeping me from really using this mod, having to check to see if I have food or drink or other stuff that I should break before some of the higher return vendor trash. Keep up the great work!

Love the addon, could you by chance add in a few options for those long old world instance farms. For example, if my bags are overly full, some greens may be worth less than the gray items, in particular crapy soulbound greens.
Perhaps you could enhance it:
Add the option to set loot level threshold inclusion for the destroy list(gray,green,blue), and include an option to show or not show soulbound items in the destroy list.

did i missed something? I have an engineering bag with any free slots and my other bags are full but nothing happens! Is it a bug or is there an option to set?

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
gunboat said

The default behavior is to open the window when you get the error message "Inventory is full." Do you get that message but the window doesn't open? I'll test with one of the specialty bags to see if I can duplicate the error in the meanwhile.

You can always invoke it manually by typing "/makeroom" or "/mr" (or creating a macro to do that).

Nope, the inventoy full warnings is not showing cuz i have any free slots in my engineer bag, so the message "u cant store these thing there" shows.

Last night it wouldn't let me delete a single item, only all the greys.

gunboat said

Could you provide a few more details about what you were doing and what you saw? You brought up the window and shift-clicked on an icon and it didn't work? You shift-clicked on an item text and it didn't work? You tried to drag the icon onto the background and it didn't work? You opened the window and there weren't any grey items in the window?

I'd like to fix this, but I don't know where to start.

It 'seems' that sometimes I don't see the message printed about the "Shift-click" item.I'll keep watching for it...maybe I'm just blind :(.But I do use like 200 mods, so who knows if something isn't going screwy...
