Addon: BagSort 1.0 uploaded

[Darksun]

Plays nice with the current Cosmos and works fine stand-alone. Make sure your cosmos is newer than 12/7/04.

BagSort1.0
BagSort 1.0 automatically sorts the items in your pack. It sorts them by category, then alphabetically.


Location http://www.darksun.lunarpages.com/downloads/


Directions

Put the BagSort and Sea folders into your C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns folder.

usage:

/sort sorts your bags one time
/autosort toggles your bag to sort whenever you bag is updated (expirmental!)
/sorton autosort on
/sortoff autosort off


Bugs
please post a message at http://www.darksun.lunarpages.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1

Known issue #1 (minor) Sometimes it leaves an item attached to the mouse. Just right click to drop it back in your bag.
Known issue #2 (serious) The released version of Sea has some bugs wich may cause this mod to lock your client. I had to reboot my computer a few times when it happened. (BagSort uses Sea, which has an error and for some reason this halted the client. The bugs are fixed in my included version of sea.)

Until the following cosmos bugs are fixed, make sure you use my copy of Sea.

http://www.cosmosui.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230 (merely annoying)


Thanks
Blizzard for a scriptable API. Cosmos team for Sea and the great examples in Cosmos (http://www.cosmosui.org).

I love the concept - but the ability to turn autosort off seems to be b0rken... I keep trying to turn autosort off, and it says it's off, but it still sorts everything as soon as I pick something up =x

Don't want to use it if you have an ammo bag...
It pulls your ammo out and puts it in another bag and then attempts to put other items in your ammo bag which, of course, is not allowed...

Also couldn't not turn off the sorting.....had to "uninstall" the whole thing...

I like the concept, though!! I wish we had something like MageHand working.

I'd love to be able to designate certain bags for certain types of items....
ie. one bag with nothing but meat to feed my pet....one bag with nothing but crafting items....

[vjeux]

Could you say me what you did modify in Sea, i could fix the bugs in Cosmos ;)

[Anonymous]

What happened to Mage Hand? It used to do the same thing but I've noticed it's not in Cosmos any longer

[Anonymous]

An idea to fix the problem with an ammo bag, I am no LUA scrippting expert, I am just a user as of now(that will change when I get some time =P)


But, what if you made a command, or even in the config interface(of cosmos) to not touch a bag... I don't think it would be that impossible to do, again, I haven't done any LUA scripting yet...

Or possibly detect ammo and place it in a set ammo bag if it isn't already (like if you just bought it or you bought extra and you just got some space)

Great mod other than that, reminds me of the decal days...

I'm a big fan of the concept of this mod, if only the autosort disabling bug were fixed :>

Is it fixed in this (most) current release??

I had a problem with autosort-on-pickup, but the new version fixed it.
I love the sort, but like I posted in the forums, it would be awesome, as you say, to exempt a bag from the sort algorithm :)

Thanks for trying out my mod everyone. I spent ALL weekend playing the game instead of checking the boards. The autosort bug is fixed in version 1.1.

For my next amazing feature it looks like I need to do something special with Ammo. I can see a few ways of doing this:

1. treat ammo as special and leave it the hell alone
2. allow you to designate an ammo bag
3. allow you to pick the order in which the categories get sorted
4. allow you to confine sorts to same bag only

Anything look good on this list?

Personally, Ill vote for option 1. Its ammo. Does the average hunter or gun user really have that many different types of ammo? Typically, in my xp, you keep the best you have. :twisted:

The following bugs in Sea cuase problems for BagSort. 228 is fixed in the dev release. 230 is still breaking, but the bug has the fix. 228 isn't breaking, it just messes up the sort order.

All three bugs fixed in SVN now.

Will get new SVN version available to my site "soon".

I tested this addon last night and it is a nice concept, however it is quite a process every time you loot something if you have it on autosort, all the sounds and lagging and the occasional item on the mouse. Also I can image this could cause a large strain on the loot servers if many people were using it since every move queries the db.

Hey I downloaded this, but when I ran the game, there was a bug and it kept trying to sort my bag or something like that. I replaced the sea files like you said, so I don't know what happened. BTW I am using cosmos. So yeah, it sorta just froze I guess.

Thanks CliffJeff! I swore I updated this topic with the new URL. I may be doing some work on bagsort in the next week or so. Get your suggestions in now. Here are some suggestion I already have.

1. Make it leave my ammo alone
2. Don't try to sort into quivers
3. ShardCount lite functionality
4. Make a switch so it will only sort the contents within each bag, and not treat all bags as one big bag for sorting.
5. Add a UI control panel

I don't promise to do any or all of the things on the list, but I am thinking about them. If you have other ideas that fit in with BagSort, let me know.

I don't want to mod to get too big, I want it to be useful but not bloated.

[Necromancyr]

I tried using this last nite...got an error on UI loadup and another when I tried to /sort.

[Anonymous]

Can anyone get or figure out a update for this, it is so usefull it is hard to play without it =/

[Anonymous]

Darksun... i'm a big fan of this... and i only have on complaint... please put a readme in the zip witht he altest updates and an install guide... just makes it more professional... thanks...

[cliffjeff]

it's pretty good the way it is... does it really sort the way you intend it to though? like, it doesn't always put all food together, etc... how exactly does it choose what to pput where?

[Anonymous]

Is there anyone that could update this so it would work for Hunters? It constantly tries to sort ammo but it doesn't know what to do with it. It is a great add on.

[Anonymous]

Is anyone still working on this? Is the old version of sea still required to use it?

[Anonymous]

No, it can still be used with the new cosmos but it still needs to be updated to work with Hunters quivers/ammo bags

[MooseMuffin]

Just wanted to say, this is by far my favorite addon, and one that gets so little recgonition. However, I recently made a warlock, and this doesnt work with him. Strange.

Obviously the author has long since stopped working on this, but can anyone else pick it up and update it? Or is there another addon that does something similar (bring back the mage hand!).?
