About Imhothar's Bags

General Information

Imhothar's Bags is there to ease the management of your items accross multiple characters and adds some little "extras" to your UI. Due to current API limitations it does not do what it was originally intended for (namely replacing the default inventory windows) but rest assured that is to be added as soon as the Addon API allows it.

Until then you get the advantage of having all your items displayed in one window, so you get a nice overview of your belongings. You can look at the contents of your bank even while out in the wilderness, and inspect the items of your offline characters.

The nice little "extras" include:

Features

  • Display all backpack, bank, currency, equipped and wardrobe items each in a separate large window.
  • View all your and your offline characters' items from anywhere you are.
  • View the items of all guilds any of your characters is a member of.
  • Items can grouped by category, bags or not at all ("all-in-one").
  • Items can be sorted by name, icon, rarity or by slot.
  • Empty slots are not displayed to save space. Instead the number in the top-right shows the number of empty slots.
  • Access the inventory of all your characters on the shard anytime. You need to log into each character in order for their data to become available. Tracks all accounts.
  • Condense multiple full stacks of the same item into one button for saving screen space.
  • The windows can be moved anywhere you wish and resized.
  • Adds a summary to item tooltips showing you whether any of your characters already own the displayed item.
  • Displays the number of empty slots on the bags bar making it easier to know when visiting a merchant becomes necessary.
  • Search the entire item database to find out whether your characters already own a specific item.

Slash commands

/imhobags menu
Open a little menu at your cursor from where you can open all the item windows of all your characters.
This works great if put into a macro.

Public API

There is a public API which can be used by other addons and might get extended in the future as required.
Details about it can be found on the Public API page.

What the Addon is not (yet)

The current Rift API imposes some limitations on what the Addon can do. Thus the followig features are unfortunately not possible at this time. But the code is largely prepared to support them as soon as the API becomes available!

  • The ImhoBags windows cannot hide the default Trion windows.
  • The highlights for newly acquired items are missing.

Known issues

The complete list can now be viewed in-game in the Config Window.

0.14beta

FEATURES:
* Items are now stored for all accounts.
* Some item locations now support multiple types of views:
    - default: This is the way you know it with items grouped by AH category.
    - bags: Group items by the bag they are located in.
    - onebag: No item grouping whatsoever, all items in a single group.
* You can now sort your items by the bag slot they are placed in.
* It is now possible to show the empty slots as concrete items in the bag
    windows by clicking the empty item count in the top right corner.
* "All-In-One": setting your layout to "onebag", the sorting to "slot"
    and showing empty items gives you the well known "onebag" layout.
* Item animations giving clues about where a category or item moves to.
CHANGES:
* The "showEnemyFaction" option was removed as it is obsolete now.
* The "packGroups" option was removed and groups are always packed now.
* The mail window is no longer there. Get a dedicated mail addon if you want one.
    The addon still tracks items in mails for tooltips.
FIXES:
* Dimension items no longer cause errors.
* Performance warning in search window should be gone now.
ISSUES:
* This information can now be viewed in the config window in-game.

    No there is not. That is impossible with the current state of the addon API. Please read the addon description for details.

    Great work as usual. I will be shortly testing the Guild Bank feature.

    I did want to ask  though. Is there a way to "exclude" specific Guild Banks on one or more of my characters?

    The reason I am asking is that I have multiple characters. Two of those are in a large guild (whose guild bank I do not wish to track). The rest of my chars have a guild bank each, and I would like to include those ones.

    Thanks again :)

     

    EDIT: Using 0.10beta3, it seems the addon is only reporting number of slots occupied by items inside a Guild Bank, rather than their quantity. Is that intentional?

    For example, instead of showing I have 100 Leather pieces (2 stacks x 50) -- usual format is +Character: 100 (bank 100)... for the guild bank , it shows +Guid Bank: 2 (Vault 1 2), where 2 is the number of stacks, instead of total quatity of items which is 100.

    -  Also, is it possible to add to the tooltip the Character name associated with the Guild Bank name?

    Much appreciated!

    Hi.

    Could you please check whether the item counts are showing correctly in the IB guild window? There's a bug on the PTS which makes item counts for guild items not being reported, but I don't know whether it's also on live. If the stack counts show properly in the guild window then it's a bug in the tooltip attachment and not the addon API.

    I'm not sure about the blacklisting, as that would need to be a per-character or per-shard setting and might cause quite some frustration if someone forgets it. I'll think about it.

    Reporting the charater for each guild is not so trivial as the guild tracking happens independently of characters. Character's have an associated guild but not vice-versa. As soon as there are more than 1 character in the guild (which is probably the case for the majority of players) there is no longer a unique 1:1 mapping.

    I love the addon, and I hope to see the ability to rely solely on this addon some day soon (can't sell or remove items from inventory), but I'm sure this is just a limitation of Trion's API.

    I have just one simple request; have you considered shortening the slash command to something easier to remember? As someone who runs with tons of addons in WoW and a handful in Rift, I find it hard to remember /imhobags for some reason. I always have to Alt+Tab out to look it up. Maybe it's just me, but I like simplicity :)

  • #71

    Well, I might add it but not enable by default to avoid name clashing with other addons.

    But if you find yourself typing the command often just plug it into a macro. From your character's inventory you can reach all other windows with simple buttons, so a macro with /imhobags player is basically all you need.

  • #68

    Loving the addon, but when I hit B to open the bags, both Trion default bags and IB open.  Is there a way to make it so only IB opens?

  • #69

    Hi and thanks. See the addon description:

    The inventory windows cannot replace the default Trion windows.

  • #66

    Just loaded this addon the other day and today I logged in and all the mail in my mailbox was gone.  I lost hundreds of plat worth of items.  >.<  Hoping that the GM's can reverse it.

  • #67

    Sorry, but ImhoBags doesn't delete mails. That command is nowhere present in the source code. It can happen for the ImhoBags window to be empty when an update cleares the Addon database, but that in no way affects your real mailbox. Hope the GMs will clear this up.

  • #64

    is there any way to move the tooltip anchor?

  • #65

    See the known issues:

    Item tooltips triggered by the Addon windows may display in the top left corner of the screen. This is a bug in the Addon API.

  • #62

    Wow, I have been waiting for an addin like this for a long time. Great Implimentation. Great work. Thank you so much.

    I would like a shorter /slash command though. /ib maybe :)

  • #63

    If you find yourself typing the slash command frequently make it a macro and put it on an action bar.

  • #60

    Thanks again for this lovely addon. The previous bugs were sorted!

    However, after quite a lot of testing and thinking :D, I believe I caught another potential Equipment bug (but probably a minor one) in 0.9beta5.

    Lets say you have an item in your inventory, gloves for example; it will not show a count on top of it (+Character: 1) if you have another pair of gloves already equipped on your character. The gloves slot needs to be empty for any gloves in your bags to display a counter.

    The same thing happens for weapons, but in this case both MH and OH slots need to be empty.

    Also, the same goes for rings; both slots need to be empty.

    The item count not appearing is due to comparison tooltips. Whenever an item tooltip has a comparison tooltip attached to it, the Addon system receives a series of events which result in the Addon thinking the tooltip is not visible anymore.

    Unfortunetaly I don't have a solution for this, and I'm not sure if this can be solved with the current state of the Rift API.
