About
LootWall is a highly-interactive, configurable, firewall-like loot filter. It allows you to predefine some basic rules for each and every item you loot or receive (except Quest Items):
- Keep items at-and-above quality (default: artifact)
- Ornate-Trait Items (default: Prompt)
- Intricate-Trait Items (default: Prompt)
- Nirnhoned-Trait Items (default: Keep)
- Craft-type related materials (default: all Prompt)
- Racial style materials (default: Prompt)
- Trash Quality Items (default: Prompt)
- Fishing Bait Items (default: Prompt)
- Researchable Trait Items (default: Prompt)
The presets above have all (except for Quality) four options:
- Prompt to prompt you the first time you loot given item of that type or with matching properties
- Destroy to destroy the item of given type or with matching properties
- Junk to mark the item of given type or with matching properties as Junk
- Keep to keep the of given type or with matching properties
In addition, you can track more than Corpse / Container looting, which is the default behavior since v0.6.
You can customize whether to ignore or track the following loot sources:
- Vendor
- Fence
- Mail
- Crafting Table
Above all this, once you loot an item (and are out of combat) it will display a popup asking action for any item that doesn't match above rules. Choices are:
- Destroy (Now/Always): Destroys the looted item (and possibly the entire stack)
- Junk (Now/Always): Marks the looted item as Junk in your inventory
- Keep (Now/Always): Does nothing, it just keeps the item as it was looted
The Now/Always means one simple thing: responding with (Now) action will prompt you again next time you loot the same item. Responding with (Always) action will remember the action you chose, and never will prompt you again, for the same item.
With the latest update, the options of the addon are even more customizable, you may set the add-on to (almost) NEVER see the prompt again (but the promt was the original idea of the addon
). And even more options are soon to come. I come up with ideas all the time.

Changelog
My developer's portal is up and running. If you want to find out what's coming up I've just published a news article for v0.6, which you can read at
My Portal's Home, also the
Bug Report and
Feedback/Feature request sections are at your service.
v0.7- Added presets for Trait Research

- Changed font alignment to left or right for Item Type, Equip Type and Value
v0.6.1- Removed all debug messages unintentionally left in release
- Added preset options for Trash Quality and Fishing Bait items
v0.6- Preparing for localization. Moved many of the texts to it's own file. Almost 90% i would guess.
- Added the option to track/ignore different loot sources
- Changed Off/On preset behaviors to Prompt/Destroy/Junk/Keep, your previous settings will be migrated to Prompt (previously Off) and Keep (previously On), you may choose freely any option in between.
- Fixed a behavior where the Add-On migh want to track inventories other than your own bagpack
- The decision-making order is now clearly given. The Add-On acts as follows: Preset Rules > User Stored Rules > Prompt for Rule. The Preset Rules have an order of Quality > Traits > Trade Skill
v0.5 is the first public release. Here you will find changes after that.
Thanks

http://wiki.esoui.com
I'd also like to thank my guild mate,
Garkin for his help, support and for providing extracted base ESO - UI files.
Special thanks to
Seerah and the community contributors for LibAddonMenu-2 and LibStub. It made creating a configuration menu easy! Check it out here:

Thanks to
ingeniousclown for the original work and
Randactyl for continuing with AdvancedFilters addon. It kinda helped me put together which ITEMTYPE is which crafting material. And I use it since it was released
-
Advanced Filters
Thanks to
Pawkette for the original and
Flagrick for the continuation of LootDrop. I learned (probably badly) how to work with received loot. Altough i gave up on OnItemLooted, the SINGLE_SLOT_UPDATED works (probably) just fine
I didn't do all the fancy-pantsy stuff that LootDrop does. Nope. Works for me, it "should" work for you too

LootDrop
Latest version also contains
cironia's LibNeeded4Research. Thanks for this awesome library, helped a lot to implement researchables
The rest and most thanks goes to you guys that willingly install my first-ever add-on. Sweetrolls all around
Don't forget to report problems and post feedback, comments section at esoui.com for now, next release will see a dedicated forum post.
Note
This addon might not be for everyone. I did it for myself, and pretty early on decided to try and share it with the rest of you. This is my first experience with LUA -or- in fact Add-On programming. Feel free to leave feedback, requests and bug reports.
