ArkInventory (for Retail, Classic, and Burning Crusade)
The steaming pile that is twitch
try the new curseforge overwolf client instead, it cant be any worse
NoLib version
it seems quite a few people are getting the NoLib version from their download client when they didnt specifically ask for it (more crappy twitch code) instead of the full version and its causing issues as they dont have the required libraries installed. Please ensure you are downloading the full version. if you see nolib in the filename then its the wrong version unless you are actually installing all of the required libraries as well. If you have to you can manually download the full version from here.
Junk Sell getting blocked when deleting items
Yes, this is the new normal. Blizzard have protected the delete function so you'll have to delete unsellable items manually. Newer versions will have the option disabled so it doesnt cause issues.
Alpha / Beta Versions: Ensure you make a backup copy of your saved variables file
Sometimes you cannot revert back to a previous version without a backup so before installing any alpha/beta version please make sure you have made a backup of your saved variable file
Your saved variable file is normally located in ...\World of Warcraft\_client_\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
If you have twitch set to automatically download alpha/beta versions then it is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate backups of your saved variables file - do not complain if you lose your configuration or it gets screwed up because of an alpha/beta version, its always a possibility so you need to be prepared.
A simple way to back it up is to just do a copy and paste then rename the new file (using the version number of ArkInventory or the date is a good idea), eg ArkInventory-3-09-00.lua, or ArkInventory-2019-12-28.lua

If you are having an issue then the first step is to disable all other mods and just test ArkInventory by itself
If the issue is still there then please check for an existing issue and lodge a new ticket if required.
If the issue is gone then re-enable your other mods one by one until the issue comes back, then report that to me as well as the other mods author
When posting a comment about an error please do not include the list of addons or really long traces, just the actual error message is fine. If I need more I'll ask you for it.
ArkInventory's display windows are built from "virtual bars", you assign categories to bars so that items in that category are displayed on the specific bars you want. There is no limit to the number of bars you can have inside a window but obviously you only have so much screen real estate before it becomes "too many".
ArkInventory uses several methods to assign a default category to an item such as what professions you have, tooltip scanning, basic type/subtype and PeriodicTable. You then assign those categories to a virtual bar.
You can also over-ride the default category by creating a rule that matches either a single or multiple items.
Overview:
- user configurable window width and height
- separate keybindings for each location for easy viewing
- assign items to a category of your choice (overrides the default assignment)
- assign categories to the bar of your choice
- unlimited number of bars (there are practical limits though before your screen becomes full)
- sort each bar differently if required
- user configurable bars per row
Key Bindings:
Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
click on Key Bindings
scroll down to ArkInventory
bind the keys you want to use
See ReadMe.txt and VersionHistory.txt for further details
Heya,
Would someone please share a rule for dominion pieces. I would like them be in there own area. Also is there a way to display the name of the section. I named them but they dont show. Thanks,
do you mean the shards or something else?
displaying bar names is in the config under the bars > names section of the design you have assigned
Where are items on other characters on account saved? Is it in SavedVariables folder? I need to reset it for my second account and I have just copy-pasted settings from my main WOW account
yes. you can go into the config > accounts and clear out data you dont need.
you can also import/export the entire profile now

did you upgrade while the game was running?
edit - nope, never mind, looks like the file didnt get uploaded. will be fixed in a minute
I am trying to write a rule that will sort non-SL items for me. Some items aren’t marked as from SL, like the Seal Breaker Key it is marked as BFA for some reason by Blizzard. I made a custom category for it named SL and am trying to figure out if there is a way in a rule to test to see if an item is in that SL sub-category.
Is there a way to do that?
not really, if an item is in an enabled custom category it would go there, the rules arent checked for those as custom categories have a higher priority.
the expansion( ) rule function exists but as youve noticed, blizzard arent exactly accurate with their data.
you could potentially check the item id via a rule function of i.osd.id > 123456, where123456 is the item id of the first shadowlands item? might work, depends what youre trying to achieve.
i've added some new code to handle incorrect blizzard data returned from GetItemInfo.
i've fixed the data for this item, if you find any more let me know and i can fix those as well.
Has retail been abandoned? Game version 9.0.2, missed the 9.0.5 update and 9.1... just curious
no. the toc has been at 90005 since may (version 30949). perhaps your addon installer is wonky if its not seeing them?
the toc hasnt been updated to 90100 yet, thats in the 30951.2 alpha if you really need it though.
check the files tab if you need to manually download one of the latest versions in the mean time
Is there no option in TBC to move a bar?
If I remember well we had :
Action ---> Reset
Insert
Delete
Move
moving bars is drag and drop now
In reply to Arkayenro:
Perfect, thanks!
Hi Ark!
Could you implement a category for "Khortian Relics" the same way as you did for "Anima" ?
I wrote the rule myself, but this would be a welcome addition to the addon for everyone!
Thank you man!
i've already added all the korthian relics to the reputation category as they are for archivists codex rep, as that allows you to see the rep state from their tooltip. i just havent uploaded the latest alpha yet
unfortunately i had to hardcode them in as "korthian relics" isnt a global string so i couldnt make it automatic/multilingual . theres the possibility that i may have missed some, or any new relics will not be assigned properly until i update then data again.
In reply to Arkayenro:
Thank you very much for your awesome work!
Since Shadowlands, the amount of displayed ingame mail is raised from 50 to 100.
As someone who uses the mailbox as extra storage (not recommended, but it works if you are in time with returning and re-sending mail; I've been doing that for over 14 years now), I have to disable ArkInventory (/AI Enabled - to disable) because as soon as there's more then 50 mail in the mailbox, the addon / game becomes super laggy! Probably scanning and re-scanning in a continuous loop or something. As soon as the amount of displayed mails gets to 50 or below, the addon works just as fine as usual. Also enabling the addon while sending mail without looking at incoming mail, works great too.
You probably did not know the mail display limit is raised to 100 mails (most people do not know that), so I hope you see this someday. :)
I do not have a GitHub account, so I currently cannot file an Issue there.
mailbox scanning doesnt have any limits set, it will scan everything that is in there in one go
its possible that due to blizzard increasing the number available it has made the scan take "too long" and lag out the client, but it is threaded so i can look at having it yield every couple of messages to ensure the game doesnt lag as much, it just may take longer to scan all of it.
I've searched and searched and I can't find a guide/help so that I can, for example, I have bar 1 & bar 7 and I realize I'd rather have the bar/category 7 in where bar one and visa-versa. Is there a way to swap bars?
