Highlight - the local bag search tool
  • Do you spend more time questing your bags for an item than raiding the instance?
  • Can't remember what icon is related to what quest?
  • Fed up with 'poor' items clogging your bags?
  • Do you wish you could search the quild bank?

-----------------------------
NEW
Now checks the price of slots by <,=,> prefixes
so, =2 will highlight all slots (item price * number in stack) that cost beween 2 and 3 gold.
or <1 will highlight all slots that are less than 1 gold (useful when trying to figure out what to chuck).

At present this only works with gold (so dont try with silver/copper yet).

-----------------------------


Then 'Highlight' is for you, its a very simple stand alone add-in which greys out all the items what don't fit your criteria. It was inspired by the simplicity of the code from 'Gerbils of War - Bag Search' only the search was extended to include item types, sub-types, rarity and now complete stacks of materials. This works for both local bags and all items within your characters bank.

Can be accessed by either an additional search window below the first bag or from the command line.

The total number of items found that have the required criterion are also listed in the UI.


Use the command line /highlight criterion or /hl criterion.

Examples:
  • To highlight all types of ore /hl ore
  • To highlight all 'FULL' stacks /hl stack
  • To highlight blue items in the bag /hl rare
  • To highlight grey items in the bag /hl poor
  • To highlight pets in the bag /hl pet
  • To highlight all quest items /hl quest
... you see the pattern ...


Please enjoy, and let me know any feedback/bugs...

Thanks

Great work on this addon. It's very useful. There is a minor bug, though. If the edit box you put under the backpack frame has focus and you hit escape to close your bags, if you don't have all of your bags open already it will open them instead of closing them. Just a nit-picking thing, you might say, but it'd be good to fix. You could probably do so just by making it lose focus when escape is pressed. Thanks!

Maybe this is counter intuitive of what your design, but what I was wondering if instead of blacking out everything that doesn't meet the requirements of the inputted command, if you could instead shade the square of what you're looking for a different color.

Again, I'm going to mention full stacks of herbs or cloth because that's what my use is for. I'd like instead of everything turning black leaving only visible the full stack, just to have a full stack be shaded w/ a color of my choosing. I'm trying to make this sound clear, but I'm not sure I'm doing so I hope you can understand.

Also, it'd be really really really super cool if it could be setup to do what I mentioned above automatically w/o having to type a command. The ability for it to know when a stack becomes full and change the color of it's occupied square in the bag would be amazing.

I should mention that I'm currently using "Combuctor" as my bag of choice, and I've suggested this very feature to Tuller, but he hasn't mentioned anything about if he'd include it or not - it's ultimately his choice as it's HIS addon, so perhaps he doesn't see the value in it. I also use Mr. Plow for automated sorting. I mention this, because, if I have my bags open, and I initiate sorting through MrPlow, then your addon would need to know that things are moving and would need to recolor the new occupied square of the same stack.

Anyways, that's my dream for an highlighting addon. Hope you find it interesting enough to implement if you're inclined to do so. I'd be immensely grateful.

Thanks,
vpr

instead of putting the itembox like that.
make the "Backpack" text in the main bag clickable, and use that space for the editbox.

Re: turn back off?

At the moment the only way to reset the highlight is to re-open the bags. This will be addressed in the next version (probably ater today).

Talking Re: RE: Highlighing full stacks of stuff

Ok 0.9 is is now out and will now display all stacks with /hl stack. All of the search is an OR statement so it currently will not filter items which are 'stacks' and 'ore', but list all stacks and all ore.

At 0.3 it will highlight all ore (in my bags I have Cobalt, Silver and tin) by the command '/hl ore'. It doesn't differentiate between full or partially full stacks - but I can see that being useful.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Weeps

Can it highlight full stack of say; herbs, cloth, ore, hides, etc?

I think that'd be really useful.
