cargBags

cargBags is a lightweight and modular bag framework. It is designed that you can completely focus on how your items are displayed and sorted rather than caring about getting item info, updating your bags or handle interaction with items. You can define how many virtual bags you'd like to have and what items should go into it.

The core addon only moves and sorts information between the handler and the layout - it's up to your layout how to present the items to the user!

So, to see something going on, you need a layout! See below or on the "Optional Files"-tab for additonal resources.

Filtering
cargBags can react on special rules or filters to check if an item goes into that bag, but it's completely optional. So there's the possibility to make a complete all-in-one bag or separate small bags which hide gray items or show only keys, for example.

Modular
There's the possibility to add/modify parts of cargBags on all sides. You could write a custom layout - or just a small different money display which other layouts can easily spawn in their code. Or just hook into the backend, the item data, and manipulate it, e.g. writing a handler which displays the contents of some sort of database rather than your inventory.

Lightweight
cargBags tries to be efficient in both terms of CPU- and memory usage and there are thoughts on optimization before almost every update.

But aren't item filters in conflict with the term 'lightweight'?
Well, it depends on which features you'd like to have, but the default configuration is about only 50-60 kb including the layout. The CPU-usage is of course a bit higher because of the item filters, but it tries to only do the work which is needed to be done.
Item buttons which are not used will be recycled for later use, so there are no extra frames generated which are not needed.

Default features

item filters
modular: custom layouts, plugins or handlers
lightweight: strip out features you don't need
comes with money display, space indicator and bag button bar

Change Log - cargBags

Changes to the core prior to version 1.0 are located in the changelog.txt.
In most cases the version tagging follows the scheme rewrite.feature.bugfix.

cargBags (core)
1.3
* licensed as GPL 3
* fixed background texture of empty bag buttons
* hovering over a bag button can now fade different bag objects
* fixed tooltip-parsing not working correctly
* and now the usual developer-stuff:

- BagBar new property: BagBar.BackgroundTexture - texture path if no icon was found

- new property: cargBags.BagStrings[] - holds tables of the bagID's for the different bagStrings
- :PreCheckFilters() now also fires on :GetItemInfo()

1.2
* first tooltip-scanning code, if you have wishes for more parsed infos than bindOn,
* please let me know =)

jadakren A Warpwood Thunder Caller Forum posts: 99 File comments: 112 Uploads: 2	I imagine if one were to detect that the player were not at a bank and the bank key was pressed to show the banks bags...it would be possible to iterate through a table of bank bag slots and populate the bank frame with a view of the bank? ie : Code: cargBags.bankCache = {} function cargBags:IterateAndStore(guid) local bankCache = self.bankCache[guid] for bagNumber=(NUM_BAG_SLOTS+1),(NUM_BAG_SLOTS+NUM_BANKBAGSLOTS) do for bagSlot=1,getBagSize(bagNumber) do item = GetContainerItemLink(bagNumber, bagSlot) bankCache[bagNumber][bagSlot] = { itemID = item.itemID, count = item.itemStackCount, } end end end Code: function cargBags:openBankBags(guid) if(self:PlayerIsAtRealBank())then --this is where we force an update of our tasty bank cache for remote viewing. self:IterateAndStore(UnitGUID("player")) end self:ViewBankBags() end Code is pure theory at the moment and I'm just talking about remotely viewing the current toons bank items only at this moment nothing else. links : http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/GetContainerItemLink http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/BankButtonIDToInvSlotID Last edited by jadakren : 03-16-2009 at 04:55 PM.

The fix is on my SVN, but I want to change some other things before pushing it to WoWI - I'll release it today. EDIT: The new version should fix both of your issues. __________________ « Homepage \| Git » My blog is finally getting english! Last edited by Cargor : 03-16-2009 at 12:12 PM.

There might be a bug with the new release, if i open my fourth bag (quiver) then close it, the window isn't resizing, if i click on bag then, i have a hole in the window of the size of the quiver.

Oh and something is weird with the keybinding, i used to press I to open all bags and I again to close them, now i have to press escape to close.

You'll find the button positioning function on top of the layout, named UpdateButtonPositions(self).

The new version also removes self.Container - the item buttons are now directly based in the main frame, so there's a lot to update in SetPoint's in custom layouts.

Just noticed that my development version was already flagged as "1.0" - just looked inside and it seems like I was working on custom item filters like item-quality, -type, etc. So, the next version will likely be 1.0 instead of 0.5.

Mhh, awesome

I'm quite happy you are not abandoning this <3

Okay, concerning the automated button positioning: I'll provide a function to overwrite it in the next update.
The pre-alpha development version 0.5 (do we ever reach 1.0? ) will separate core/layout further - position and size are completely handled by the layout, as well as maybe setting the texture.

Ah, well, I didn't know that. Well, let's just hope you pick up development on this again sooner or later

The automated button positioning is in my way D; Anyway, nice job so far. I hope v1.0 is ready soon(ish) Weiter so!

How can I accomplish such thing? I tried looking at the code but couldn't figure it out :P Thanks for the great addon.

Cargor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 127 File comments: 242 Uploads: 17	Sorry for the late response - I was on holiday. I can't really test it, because I don't have a widescreen and am currently not active in WoW, but you can try and redefine the width of the frame to make it appear correct. Someone else reported a similiar problem before - I'll just copy my answer below: ------ But the positioning system works like this: You define the width of the the bag object in your layout and cargBags tries to fill up the available space with buttons. If a button doesn't fit in the current row, it is placed in a new row. It seems like your bag is 1-2 units smaller than the last button of each row, so that it starts a new one. Try to adjust the width by adding the orange code to the lines 96, 99 and 101 of your cargBags_Pernobilis\layout.lua: Code: container:SetWidth((self.SlotWidth+self.SlotSpacing)8+1) You can increase the numbers to make the bags wider - just experimentate a bit __________________ « Homepage \| Git » My blog is finally getting english!*

I seem to have some kind of bug these days, i've updated to the latest version, with an unaltered version of your layout, when i hit the key to open all bags it works but then i must use escape to close instead of that same key again.

reverting to 0.4.1 fixes it or:

At the end of the layout:

replacing

Code:

OpenAllBags = OpenCargBags

With

Code:

OpenAllBags = ToggleCargBags

Okay, well, to be honest, the only reason I still play WoW is because of addon development. The rest became boring after four years of active playing =P

And ... umm ... there's still the habit of eating lots of chocolate while thinking of addons :/
