ArkInventory (AI or ARKINV) is an inventory mod that was based off EngInventory when the BtS 2.0.0 patch came out and I needed a working replacement.

AI's display windows are built from "virtual bars", you assign categories to bars so that items in that category are displayed on the specific bars you want. There is no limit to the number of bars you can have inside a window but obviously you only have so much screen real estate before it becomes "too many".

AI uses several methods to assign a default category to an item such as what professions you have, tooltip scanning, basic type/subtype and PeriodicTable. You then assign those categories to a virtual bar.


You can also over-ride the default category by creating a rule that matches either a single or multiple items.


Overview:

* unlimited number of bars (there are practical limits though before your screen becomes full)
* assign items to a category of your choice (overrides the default assignment)
* assign categories to the bar of your choice
* configurable bars per row
* configurable width
* display bank, bag, keyrings for current and alts across all realms
* separate keybindings for bag, keyring and bank viewing


Key Bindings:

Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
click on Key Bindings
scroll down to ArkInventory
bind the keys you want to use

3.10.27 (20-MAR-2024)
  • fixed - https://github.com/arkayenro/arkinventory/issues/1871 - updated object code to handle any new INVTYPE values better

known issues
  • some default frames (vendor/merchant at minimum) that would normally open via the PlayerInteractionFrameManager no longer open if you are in combat, you just get an addon error. there is currently no workaround.
  • (dragonflight) reagentbank slots are no longer readable unless the bank is open
  • recipes on vendors are showing item counts for the items they create, not the recipe
  • Enum.ItemConsumableSubclass is missing the Flask entry and everything after has moved down a value which screws up the category names (have hardcoded a workaround for the moment)
  • items with an active cooldown dont allow comparison tooltips to generate
  • cooldowns no longer start automatically. you can close/open the bag to get them to show (if you enable that option). all of the cooldown events ACTIONBAR_UPDATE_COOLDOWN, BAG_UPDATE_COOLDOWN, PET_BAR_UPDATE_COOLDOWN, SPELL_UPDATE_COOLDOWN, appear to trigger off other players as well, but do not provide any indication whether the event was triggered by you or them, so cooldowns will trigger window refreshes fairly constantly when you are around large numbers of players. even limiting it to one update per second generated too much lag, especially in massive groups.
  • chat link for a battlepet in the guild bank will not send
  • the first time you click on a hyperlink in chat it wont show the item counts

to do
  • double check all categories show/hide for the right clients
  • confirm things havent broken in classic, wrath, or shadowlands
  • restack disable - maybe change this to require a modifier key instead of a straight disable? might be easier to shift/alt/ctrl click on it than turning it on/off and its not like youll accidentally do it (which is why the disable was added)
  • backpack tokens to scroll when max width reached on second line
  • extend the categoryset actions to individual items for additional granular control.
  • add action; move (bank to bag, bag to bank, bag to vault, vault to bag)
  • add actions to items
  • allow multiple actions on a category / item

normal, its a blizzard bug, as it says you can disable the warning in the config if you want.
Well do have the loading of Scrap now but i still get the:
"ArkInventory: WARNING> Aborted scan of bag 1, location 1 [Bag] size returned was 0, rescan has been scheduled for 10 seconds. This warning can be disabled in the config menu"

Don't now if it's something I just can ignore and leave it as it is? - But worse:

AI still don't recognize the items I've marked as Trash/Junk (like water/milk) in Scrap and place them in the bar with the other Trash/Junk (grey items).
Am I doing something wrong, or simply just misunderstood and got the idea that it was what it did and how it worked and it just isn't the case after all...

Mass tranasfer?

Is there a way to transfer all the contents of a bar from my bag to my bank? This would be very useful for crafting, I have a bar for Blacksmithing related stuff which I load into my bag when crafting and back to the bank when I finish.

ignore, its just a blizzard bug caused (i think) by lag

um, you did create a rule with trash( ) as its code? and assign it to a bar (presumably with your system trash category)?

it doesnt automatically get assigned to the trash system category. sorry if that wasnt clear.

nope, sorry, lots of clicking required, just dont wait for it to respond, it'll catch up.

the wow launcher may allow you to change the game client language (it did during beta) but thats going to change everything to EN.

your other choices are to edit the locale\deDE.lua file and "fix" the translations to something more suitable, or remove them all (just the translations only, not the first couple of lines) so it reverts to using the english ones.

Request/Question:

Is there support for changing how the bag addon looks? If not, can I request a feature to style it through GUI in game? There are so many other bag addons that look better, but none of them come pre-sortable like this one does if you know what I mean. The others require you make a separate optional file to make it sort... and the other ones that do come with sorting available, just suck at doing it right compared to this one. I've used just about every bag addon available on here... I can't find one that sorts better than this, I just dreadfully hate the way this one looks, it's just not symmetric...

i presume you dont mean colors, so can you explain what you mean in more detail?

The images used in the design. You know how other bag addons have smoother design to it, with ArkInventory, it's different it seems like it's designed completely on Blizzard Tooltip images. Which I don't think are good to begin with.

For example you know how this looks?


and this?


I think it would be neat to be able to do something like those 2 images show in ArkInventory, better design.

you can do this; its not quite the same but its close, you can also remove or close any of the subframes you dont want (title/search/status)

(the pink background is the sky in org, its not from ai)

its just a matter of playing with the borders, spacing, backgrounds. the only that cant be done right now is make the item backgrounds transparent (i never really thought of doing it because i think theres an image underneath that might or might not show through) which i may take a look at to see if that assumption is correct or not and allow transparency if its not there.

im fairly useless at graphical layout, i leave that to people with more talent in that area, its why ai is so "boring".

How do I access the settings to do that there? that could be decent enough until you could atleast put in support for themes so someone will make them.

It would look better though if we could keep the edges round like they were, but less embossed if you know what I mean. That can be done through code, I just don't know how to do it myself. Also maybe get rid of the spaces and combine the sections, so they're not separate pieces. This can be done without any images at all added to it, other than what you already have in there.

its all in the config under settings (bag);
window > window > padding = 4
window > window > width = 10
window > background > colour = bluish, low alpha
window > border > style = arkinventory tooltip 3
window > border > colour = bluish
bars > padding > internal = 4
bars > padding > external = 0
bars > background > colour = any colour, 0 alpha (hides them)
bars > border > style = none
items > padding = 6
items > empty slots > use icon = disabled
items > empty slots > slot colour > bag = greyish (for border), 0 alpha (for transparent background)
note: you cant do the transparent empty item background until i upload .73

turning the borders back on and making them a colour approximately the same as the background (could be better) wipes out the gaps (without any borders the gaps will show up)

that could be decent enough until you could atleast put in support for themes so someone will make them.
i could probably code up an import/export function for settings

Oh okay, awesome.

I'm horrible at code, I'm more of a designer. I've been designing graphics for 6 years now.

It's starting to look a little better.

The only things left I wanna ask about is the gap at the top before each square where everything goes into. There is space there for more squares, why is the space there? Why not remove it, it's just extra space that could be used for something. And 1 last thing is how do I scale the size of it down a bit? I have a very small monitor, and for some reason the bag is a bit too big.

the window is a rectangle, (in that example, with only 1 bar) items get added one at a time until a row fills up then they go onto the next row. so unless you have a nice width to item ratio youre always going to end up with the last row not being full.

if you have more than 1 bar then its the bars that will leave gaps and youll have gaps in each bar.

i cant put anything else in that gap because if your last row is full then it'd be over the top the of the items. it also doesnt work if youve got more than one bar.

Hmm... it sounds like you're saying it's impossible to fix that space.... when in fact it isn't because there are other bag addons that don't have that... one or both of the ones I showed you before are good examples.

Thanks for the info on the scaling.

of course its imposible, nothing can go in it because thats where the items go (when you get bigger bags, or just change the width of the window).

take a look at the blue example you posted - there is a small (two item) gap at the bottom because they sort the items top to bottom, do that with ai and your gaps will be at the bottom. the gaps will still be there though. nothing i can do about it.

and note youre talking about a single bar/row window, personally i use multiple bars and multiple rows, i have multiple gaps all over the place (they cannot be filled by anything else).
