  • About UberInventory
  •  

UberInventory keeps track of where you have your items stored as well as how much cash you own, it even tracks the amount of cash attached to mails that you haven't collected yet (this is only done when visiting a mailbox).

The information that has been collected can be viewed anywhere within the game, so you never need to be at the bank or guildbank to be able to see what is stored there. What is even better if one or more guild members have UberInventory installed as well, you will receive the latest information of what is stored in the guildbank (and guild cash) after they have visited the guildbank.

Items that are not usable by the current character are marked red, just like is done on the Auction House. This makes it easy to see if items stored ate other characters or guild banks are of any use for your character.

Additionally vendor prices are added to tooltips (in bags, quest log, etc).

Full documentation can be found at http:fmeus.wordpress.com/uberinventory/

Please use the ticket system on curseforge.com to report issues.

You can visit my blog @ http:fmeus.wordpress.com/category/world-of-warcraft/uberinventory/ for news on current development.

You can also follow UberInventory on Twitter. Update notifications and known issues will be posted on Twitter.

For those using Data Broker enabled addons (like Titan panel or Docking Station) might be interested in ExaileBroker by casdash.

A possible solution for disconnects while opening your mailbox might be to delete the WDB folder from the Cache directory (\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB) as detailed in this post http:forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=1905700830&sid=1.

    Dear UberInventory-users,

    One of the goals of version 2.9 of UberInventory is to start solving the issue some
    of people are experiencing when visiting their ingame mailbox.

    I would like to hear back from those people that were experiencing these issues, if
    the latest version of UberInventory has resolved these kind of issues for you.

    Regards,
    Frank

  • First off I love the program. It's helped me out some many times. It seems i have the same problem alot of others do about the mail freezing. Also I am A Guild Master and I am unable to set ranking. Something to do with the guild bank. I am unable to change who views what and takes out what. I have to transful ownership. It stays without changing but wont let me change anything.

    Sorry for the late response, it has been crazy at work and the private life....

    On the mail related issues. In version 2.9 of UberInventory changes have been implemented on how mailbox
    data is collected (more importantly, how aggressive it is done). Hopefully the new method will minimize
    these kind of issues. The problem is that the issue encountered by some people does not occur on any of
    my machines, so basicallly I am flying blind in fixing the mailbox related issues.


    For the guild issues I need a bit more information. I have created a guild to be able to test a bit with
    ranks etc. But when I change access settings for the GB for a specific guild rank and click on the apply
    button, close the windows and go back again (in same session or a complete new session) I see the changes
    that I have made.

    Some questions
    - Do you get any errors?
    - What other addons are you running? This is useful for me in trying to recreate (as far as possible) a similar WoW setup

    Okay, thanks for the feedback. Have you tried the suggestion on clearing the local cache?

    This is a common problem with mods that don't scan the mailbox properly when its opened. Its especially noticeable on slower computers.

    Other mods that have had this major issue include FuBar_MailExpiryFu (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/mailexpiryfu.aspx), SimpleBankState (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info5128-SimpleBankState.html; the issue was fixed, but the mod is abandoned) and some other inventory mods that record mailbox contents. Apparently one of the problems is calling GetInboxItem or GetInboxItemLink for an item that does not yet have info in the local client cache. There may be other reasons as well.

    Asking the user to clear their cache to work around this issue is bad. They will run into the same issue again in a week when the cache is repopulated. The real solution is to fix the code in the mod.

    Other current inventory mods that record mailbox contents--such as BankItems (http://www.wowace.com/addons/bank-items/)--do not have this issue at all. So good luck updating your code.

    Zidomo, thanks for your feedback. The cache clearing note is not provided as THE solution, but merely an option to get people up and running again. I totally agree the issue should ultimately be fixed within the code-base of the addon itself.

    Due to time restrictions (the job that pays the bills) I haven't gotten around to really fixing the issue but it is top item to get fixed. I am sure the information you have provided will help me getting the issue resolved

    Thanks!!

    Regards, Frank

  • Hi. When I go to read mail it freezes my mailbox and eventually either boots me offline or I gotta reboot as it locks up my machine, leaving me obviously unable to read mail. I have to disable the addon to get my mail. I don't get any error message as I just freeze totally.

    A possible solution for the disconnect might be to delete the WDB folder from the Cache directory (\World of Warcraft\Cache\WDB) as detailed in this post http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=1905700830&;sid=1

    'By disable the addon to get my mail' you mean completely disabled UberInventory or do you mean the mail warning and the 'take inbox money' options?

    Have not been able to reproduce this issue on my machines, but the issue is high on the list to get sorted.

  • Totally disabling it. No other solution works. I have to disable the addon totally for it to let me read mail. Otherwise no mail :O(

    I have the take money inbox function disabled anyway.

  • I like this add-on, but when I access my mailbox on a toon with lots of mail, the game quits responding and soon I'm kicked off line.

    Also - you might look into how Altaholic pulls info across accounts. Altaholic does a great job - each account has to give permission, then I can see all toons on the other account along with every bit of info - right down to glyphs and how much mail they have.

    Is there a way to have UBI track across multiple accounts?

    The only way I know to do that is to "hard-link" those two files.
    Just FYI, this means that you decide on one of them to be the (real) main file, delete the other one and create a hard-link in the file system for the other file name pointing at that same main file, virtually making those two entries contain the same data (although the data actually only exists once), so that account1/SavedVariables/UberInventory.lua would always be equivalent to account2/SavedVariables/UberInventory.lua.
    Since WoW doesn't care about accessing the file one way or another, this basically had the same effect on the game as if you would manually copy and overwrite one or the other file after logging out of that specific account.
    See Wikipedia/whatever articles on "hard link" and "symbolic link" for a bit more information on that stuff.

    Just as an example, I do have only one account myself, but I use hard-links to virtually have all my characters share the same SV directory (since there are still a few add-ons that don't support having global profiles and just save their settings including the character's name and I'm too lazy to manually correct that). This also enables me to keep characters of the same class virtually have class-based macros by sharing the same macro files amongst them (so changing one of my tauren druid's healing macros virtually changes that same macro for my alliance druid on another realm as well).
    (I'm using WinHardLink to create those hard-links - totally works between system reboots, never had any problems with it, but I'm in no way related to it.)

    What you CAN'T use this for is to be logged in with both accounts simultaneously and update data for both accounts, since SVs are only saved when reloading UI or logging out, which would result in one game instance overwriting the data of the other instance. As far as I know, the only way you could do that is to log in with one account at a time and then manually copy the file.

    Good luck though.

    No, sadly enough that is not possible. The way data is being stored by Blizzard there is no ingame method of reaching data from other accounts.

    love this addon. The only problem I've encountered is trying to delete a toon from the inventory. The toon no longer exists. I've tried uninstall/reinstalling this add. No luck. Is there a way of delete a now non-existent toon?

    Reply Report Permalink
  • fmeus said 

    You can delete any toon using the following chat command

    /ubi remchar NameOfTheChar

    Note: Case of the name does matter

    Alternatively you could delete the UberInventory.lua file stored in

    WTF\Account\\SavedVariables

    But beware this will cause you to loose all info stored for your characters, so you will have to visit each and any of your characters/guildbanks/mailbox/bank to recollect the information again.
