About ItemNotes

If you love this addon and want expedited and prolonged work on it, please donate! <3

Simple, light-weight framework for adding notes to items. User-editable notes and Item Level display are builtin.

To see an example of how to write your own plugin, see ItemLevel.lua and ItemLevel.xml. Of course, you'll write it as a separate addon..

You can now set a hotkey to edit notes. You can set it in the Key Bindings section under Item Notes.

There's a GUI now so you don't have to use the command line (though you still can). You can find it in the Interface->AddOns options, or by typing /ins

The interface should be pretty natural. You can use the up and down arrows on the right to change the order of the notes and the eye to show/hide. Click the name or colour (or anywhere on the line that's not a button) to select that note type, at which point you may select a colour for it with the colour wheel.

Item Notes can now be localized! There's really not many strings, though. If anyone wants to submit a translation, you can do so in the localization section on Item Notes's Curseforge page. You can find the current strings in locale.lua as well.

List of commands by example

Open the options GUI
/ins
Set a custom note on the item you're currently hovering over, or just clicked a link of:
/note Enter Note Here
Remove note from current item:
/note
Edit existing note (or add a new one) with the editor:
/notee
See in-game help:
/ins help
See in-game help for COMMAND:
/ins help COMMAND
List all note types, and indicate their order and availability. (Note that green is running and set to show, yellow is not shown, and red is not running):
/ins list
Set the display order of note types to x first, then y, then z:
/ins order x, y, z
Show TYPE on the tooltip:
/ins TYPE show
Do not show TYPE on the tooltip:
/ins TYPE hide
Indicate whether TYPE is currently shown or not:
/ins TYPE shown
Set the display color for TYPE to red:
/ins TYPE ff0000
Set the display color for TYPE via the color wheel:
/ins TYPE color

    Hi Aierre,

             My Name is Arcana and I love your addon.  I just wanted to point out that on the soulbound items such as the ones from the holiday bosses can not be disenchanted and the disenchant value on your addon tells us it disenchants into maelstrom crystals.  But infact they don't.  I know it is useful to know this, but not if the item can't be disenchanted is there anyway you might be able to make it so it doesn't say that it does get kinda confusing when you are disenchanting things in your inventory and see the disenchant value but can't disenchant it.  Idk just an idea :)

    Note: This comment would've been better left on the Disenchant plugin's page.

    However, there is currently a file that maintains a database of non-disenchantable items. This is called NoDis.lua in the ItemNotes-Disenchants folder. If you know/can find the Item ID of the items you wish to add, just throw it in there in the form "[ITEM_ID_HERE]=1," without quotes (like the other entries in there).

    I would've eventually liked to make it record "unable to disenchant" failures but I don't have WoW to test it on right now.

    Also as a mention, I personally dislike blocking showing the message on items in this way, as one problem I had with Fizzwidget's before this was that in an update some of the non-disenchantable items were made disenchantable. It sort of made it irritating to figure out what it disenchanted to since it was a hard-coded database like this addon's is currently.

    This mod conflicts with HandyNotes (in game - not in the WoW Addons interface at loading screen); one addon will disable the other.

    All of a sudden it's not working anymore. July 27 when I wrote my other post here (see below) it worked. I haven't made any item notes since then. Today when I tried to do so it wouldn't work. In fact, the item notes for the stuff I did when I first installed this are not even showing any more.
  • #37
    It is accepting the command /note (your note here). It doesn't toss any errors.

    It is writing to the ItemNotes.lua file all the notes I make. I exited the game and looked. The notes I did in game are being written to this file.

    It just doesn't seem to be listing them in the ESC

    Great addon thank you.

    I used to use another addon for making notes in item tooltips a few years ago but I can't think of it's name. I was looking for that addon when I found yours. I'm glad I found this one, it works well.

    updt plz for 4.1
  • #32
    I'm unable to remove the item level with the command.
  • #33
    I know this is an old comment, but for newcomers at least I feel I should mention that this is corrected with the new system. The new command is /ins Item Level hide
  • #31
    Just what I looked for, great! Thanks!
  • #15
    How do you remove a note from an item?
  • #23
    Just set a blank note with:

    /note

    No actual note after it.
