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.

    So anyone else getting a  463   error in chat that repeats itself over and over?

  • #86

    Probably another limitation of the API (Trion's API and macro development must be done by high school interns or something), but I thought I would add:

    The counts don't include items in the quest item belt, Some things put there aren't soulbound and are useful to search for among your alts (e.g., Ritual Firebrands). Might also be good to see how many Sourcewell Energy Caches or Glowing Puresource your alts have to decide which to log to when an invasion starts.

    I cannot see anything from my offline characters, only the current character.  I've logged into each of them but there's nothing showing for them when offline. 

  • #82

    Are the item counts of your offline characters included in the tooltip summaries?

  • #88

    OK, found the problem...Windows had the read-only flag set for my Rift directory...I moved it out of Program Files and then removed the flag for the folder and all sub-folders and now it works fine.  Thanks!

    No, all 4 toons are Defiant.

    Do you have other Addons which save data and work properly?

    If it's the only Addon you might be affected by Windows Vista/7 UAC if Rift is installed in Program Files. I'm really just guessing because I never heard te addon not to work at all for somebody.

    No, it shows nothing in the tooltips or on the main interface.  I can bring up the interface with my offline toons but it shows their inventory as completely empty.

    Are they members of the enemy faction? By default IB only shows account bound items of enemy faction characters. That can be changed in the config window.

    I like it. For some later version, would be nice to correctly identify reputation fish as non-crafting (even as Miscellaneous). Our gbank has a tab with augments and rep fish (no really logic, we just needed the space and there it was) and they get all mixed in the view.

    Unfortunately, the item grouping in IB relies on the item information provided by the game. So if Rift says the fish are crafting items then that's what IB believes them to be.

    It wouldn't be too difficult to add a list of exceptions, but I don't know whether the overhead of maintaining and extending it is worth the benefit. The Trion devs themselves stated some items can have incorrect categories here and then, that just happens. But I can feel your pain, I experience the same problem with the Trophy fish not being categorized as collectibles and it is annoying.

  • #78

    I just wanted to say that the quantity display problem has been resolved with 1.8.

    Tooltip now shows quantity properly.

     

    Btw, can you add a little seperator, like a double dash, to the tooltip of the GB items?

    At the moment it shows (Vault 2 233). Adding a seperator would make it easier to see:

    (Vault 2 -- 233) or something similar.

    Hey Imhothar,

    The Guild Bank tooltip in IB is also showing the same problem: it shows number of slots occupied not quantity. In fact it does not show any numbers at all on the items themselves in that Guild Bank frame.

     

    Hope this helps.

  • #77

    Then it's the same bug as on the PTS, meaning IB thinks every guild bank stack has only 1 item in it. Need a patch to fix it.

  • #74

    I'm still getting seperate windows for my bags, is there a way to have it in one window like you have it in your screens? I tried going through config but couldn't find the setting for it.
