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

Would it be possible though to add scalability to it? And maybe coloring of bags lik ammobags/ss bag/engi bag and so on.

Makes it easier (well does to me ) to see where the free slots are, if some are empty in the special bags or/and the normal bags.

Scalability is added in the layout.lua with the function self:SetScale(1) where 1 is the default size of 100%. In line 49 the keyring-frame is already scaled. Directly under it you can find the if-clauses for the bank-frame and the rest (bag) - it should be easy to add there a self:SetScale() if you want.

The new update colors the slot borders based on bag type.
With some lua-experience you can change the color function by overwriting self.OverrideColorSlotBorder(button, bagType). I didn't tested it for profession bags as I don't have any of them, but it works with keyring/ammo-bag coloring.

Fuzzywuzzy A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 73 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	Was using Onebag/Onebank/Oneview and it's mainly the ability to check out alts bags/banks i'm going to miss. But as i said there's addons out there that can do that, so it's not a big issue A feature i would like if it can be done low memory wise is something like what bagsync does, shows in tooltip when hoovering an item how many i got on different alts. Tried bagsync but it seems that in certain situations it doesnt work well with my tooltip addon (TipTac). Could ofc. have been Onebag interferring so might give it a go again and see how it works. EDIT: Trying out addon called "Bankitems" atm, seems to be doing both what bagsync and oneview does. Last edited by Fuzzywuzzy : 05-10-2008 at 10:16 AM.

But reason for posting is just curiousity, i'll probably do the lua edit you suggest to get it as 1 big bag, question is, is there a reason why you make a seperate 8 slot at top as default instead of just doing the 1 bag as default?

As it seems, I'm the only one that uses this bag bar

I store there mainly items which are everytime in my bag (like mount, hearthstone, etc..) - The reason I uploaded this as default layout is to show the possibilities of bag merging/splitting. I think I'll provide in the future also the standard AIO-bag layout without the bar.
I'm interesting in what features you miss (maybe there are some which are easy to integrate as an optional addon or don't increase memory usage much)

The window is by default not movable, it is positioned per lua-config (and working as intended) - but I'll write a tutorial, on how to get the bags movable if you want.

EDIT: written a tutorial - link on the addon info page or in my portal.

nighty A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	In the default layout the strata is too high, when you goto split items the box is behind the bag frame.

05-08-2008, 12:36 PM
Cargor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 127 File comments: 242 Uploads: 17	The addon is a bag replacement, so you can change the layout for the bags or create one big bag which consists of your default bags (like in the default layout screenshot) - It does not move, sort or modify the items in the bag itself. So, in short: standard bags with another layout Hope, your question is answered.

scotte44 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 33 Uploads: 0	Im a little lost on what this mod does. Does the mod just allow different layouts displaying bags, or can you actually assign items to bags?

05-08-2008, 10:23 AM
Cargor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 127 File comments: 242 Uploads: 17	It's working as intended (Could be useful if someone has a lot of splitted bags), but I understand your point and included this function in the new update: You can now set object.space.countAll = true to get the total items in your bag rather than the total of visible items. I've included it in the default layout - you are right: for the AIOI-layouts was the old way not as good as this one. Info: The core passes now the number of free and total slots to the updateSpace() instead of used and total. (because GameAPI handles it this way, so why don't we do the same :P)

hipjipp A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 77 File comments: 191 Uploads: 9	Noticed another thing (from your screen since i already put my frame into one again); When you've split up your frame into smaller pieces, the "cur/max free slots" text goes to the max of the frame that text is in, not the total of your bags. Might be good if you only want to know that specific bag or frame, but for me (and probably alot of people) this is useless. Just an idea to make this an option into lua or add a new string saying the total max. __________________ Roarcat will eat you! Roar! =)

hipjipp A Cliff Giant Forum posts: 77 File comments: 191 Uploads: 9	I love you! I'm gonna try this asap, and then i might write my own "type"/"layout" for it.. :P Edit: Bugreport; I've binded "B" to "OpenAllBags" and when i open the bag, it shows up, but so does the rest of the bags aswell.. so i have a bagframe and 4 bags showing. Love Love Love the low footprint btw. Never been happier! Edit2: Been playing around a while now, read, edited and played around with the code. About the comments on the bag-slots in a row. Keep it the way it is, but try to make the comments clearer if you decide to change the items-in-a-row to something bigger or smaller. Keep up the work! I can finally dump the memory eater BaudBag. __________________ Roarcat will eat you! Roar! =) Last edited by hipjipp : 05-07-2008 at 01:26 PM.

Author donation information - cargBags

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 since I write them in my free time and also release them for free, there are of course the subscription fee's ... so if you want to support me, here's your chance!

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