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

Cargor A Cyclonian Forum posts: 47 File comments: 163 Uploads: 13	It's a matter of the layout (_Pernobilis in this case) and not cargBags itself, so please post further details in that comments section (: I plan on rewriting _Pernobilis sometime in the future, but can't give an exact date. But you can fix the issue by yourself by going into cargBags_Pernobilis/layout.lua down to line 258 where it reads background:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND"). Replace it with the following and it should work: Code: background:SetFrameStrata("HIGH") background:SetFrameLevel(1) __________________ « Homepage \| Subversion »

Skylinee A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 105 Uploads: 0	Could you please make cargBags stay ''on top'' of other addons? Example: http://i43.tinypic.com/ir6fwz.jpg This also happens with ShadowedUnitFrames i think. Edit: Happens with all addons, blank unfilled space isn't overlapping other addons.

Cargor A Cyclonian Forum posts: 47 File comments: 163 Uploads: 13	So, first of all, you're using the Aurora-layout, right? I didn't check for it, but you basically have to post on the comments section of the layout, not the cargBags core They're in cargBags_Aurora/aurora.lua - sorry that I forgot to mention it :/ The key word you're looking for is "Filter Functions" - You can see the differen filters defined below and it should be easy to add the ones I've written. Below it comes the bag object spawning, you can see the bag "cBags_TradeGoods" somewhere down there - just add the second code part below the whole paragraph of tradegoods. And I would suggest downloading a more advanced editor, for most code-changes line-numbers are an absolute must-have and syntax-highlighting is really nice. I suggest Notepad++. Don't expect any config-GUI coming soon, it's on very low priority and I don't know if I'll ever include one. I just wanted cargBags to stay simple and lightweight. __________________ « Homepage \| Subversion »

And then just spawn two new bag objects before/below the tradegoods one (l. 150)...

Good to know but where are those lines? I mean are they inside core.lua or where ?... Sry but its hard to navigate inside unknown stuff :P

P.S. and sry but can u tell me after what "-- comment" i can find needed lines?

P.P.S. if u will re-make it for 3.2 it would be n1 to see in-game options for "new-filter-setups"

Cargor A Cyclonian Forum posts: 47 File comments: 163 Uploads: 13	You can see the filters defined in line 123 and downwards, just add two new ones: Code: local onlyOres = function(item) return item.subType == "Metal & Stone") end local onlyHerbs = function(item) return item.subType == "Herbs") end Please note that the subType is localized, so it differs if you use another client than enUS/enGB. You can find a complete list of all types and subTypes here: http://www.wowwiki.com/ItemType And then just spawn two new bag objects before/below the tradegoods one (l. 150): Code: local ores = cargBags:Spawn("cBags_Ores", "Ores") ores:SetFilter(onlyOres, true) ores:SetFilter(onlyBags, true) tradeBag:AddFrame(ores) local herbs = cargBags:Spawn("cBags_Herbs", "Herbs") herbs:SetFilter(onlyHerbs, true) herbs:SetFilter(onlyBags, true) tradeBag:AddFrame(herbs) __________________ « Homepage \| Subversion »

My Dk is miner-herb so i wanna make some new filters - "ore" "herbs" etc. Ofc i can use urs own default filtering and store ores in "ammo" filter and herbs in "armor" but its not the best way to filter em ;P Last edited by Zveroboi : 06-30-2009 at 03:59 AM.

Uh well, I would say, you can't really compare it, because ArkInventory has a lot of features and cargBags tries to be modular (and at the moment there aren't many plugins available). So it really depends on what you need and expect.

But let me give you one tip: If you really like AI, love the features and you don't notice any lags or performance decrease, you shouldn't care about memory or cpu usage.

And "less overhead" is also a misleading term. In the development I've noticed that you either have to increase mem- or cpu usage, because decreasing both together doesn't really work. ArkInventory uses a lot more memory, cargBags tries to be somehow in the middle (and therefore uses slightly more cpu usage than for example Combuctor).

In short: Do not switch to cargBags because of it being more "lightweight": If you need a lot of additional features, it could perform even worse because of its modular system - you should only switch if you want to get some more freedom in the way your bags are customized

PS: Sorry for Wall of Text

I like to sort into catagories (Soulbound, Weapons, Armor, Herbs, etc). ArkInventory has a nasty habit of freezing my game for up to 45 sec when I try to move the frame and I'm getting quite tired of it.

ChaosInc A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 222 File comments: 171 Uploads: 13	How does this compare to ArkInventory performance wise? I love AI, but if this thing is less overhead I'll switch in a heartbeat. Only reason I don't want to now is cause I've put a lot of work into my AI bag templates. __________________ "Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos.

pingbo A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	keyring not initialized Hello! cargBags is awesome! But I noticed some weird behavior with the keyring while playing around with my own layout, and then checked Nivaya and Aurora and they both seem to be doing it too... Upon first login or reloadUI, when trying to open the keyring, the keys don't show up. I've noticed that if I open and close my bank and then try to open the keyring frame, the keys show up fine. I haven't been able to figure out the sequence of events that is leading to the keyring working, exactly. And since I've just been reloading the UI over and over, testing bags and bank, I'm not sure if there's some event that fixes this eventually? Thanks!

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 :/
