1.34 Changes:
  • Added itemname() to match items by name. Returns true if the item name contains any of the provided strings (case insensitive), e.g. itemname("Maelstrom", "Alkosh")

1.33 Changes:
  • Bumped API version for Murkmire.

1.32 Changes:
  • More huge performance improvements! Thanks again to Shadowfen who did all the work here. (Pre-compile rules as they are changed)
  • Replaced Set Tracker support function GetSetTrackerState() with IsTracked(). If you used the old function, you will need to update your rule (sorry). This was done to bring the usage inline with the way the other similar functions work. Usage, e.g.: IsTracked("Sell/Decon", "Collecting")

1.31 Changes:
  • Big performance increase (2x or better for me), thank you to Shadowfen for the code change suggestion!
  • Updated libraries

1.30 Changes:
  • Added French translation. Big thanks to Hasgaad!

1.29 Changes:
  • HOTFIX - resolve errors at merchant due to Wolfhunter API changes.

1.28 Changes:
  • Bumped API version for Wolfhunter.

1.27 Changes:
  • Bumped API version for Summerset.
  • Added support for jewelry crafting ingredients. Note: you will need to either create a new rule yourself, or reset AutoCategory to default settings to grab the new default rule.
    • To create your own rule, use
      Lua Code:
      1. filtertype("jewelrycrafting")
    • To reset to default settings: In the Auto Category add-on menu, use the Defaults button. Then use the /reloadui command. Important: this will remove any custom rules/settings you have defined.
  • New API function "IsMarkedIS()" - use to test whether an item is marked with Item Saver. Note that FCO ItemSaver users should continue to use "IsMarked()"

1.26 Changes:
  • New API function "islocked()" - use to test whether an item has been locked.

1.24 Changes:
  • Resolve circular dependency issue with DoItAll (requires matching update to DoItAll).


1.23 Changes:
  • Added Set Tracker support! Use "getsettrackerstate()" to retrieve the name of the Set Tracker category, if an item is tracked.
  • Added charlevel() and charcp() to pull current character level and CP. Can be used to compare item level to your character level with a custom rule. (Thanks to VulcanTourist)

1.22 Changes:
  • You can now define separate settings for your home storage chests (they will take their initial settings from your bank settings, but can be customized at will).

1.21 Changes:
  • Added support for home storage chests (big thanks to raj72616a). Currently, they will use the settings selected for your bank (no custom settings for home chests yet).
  • Bumped API version for Dragon Bones.
  • New maintainer (crafty35a).


1.19 Changes:
  • Fixed Localization.
  • New Feature: Collapsed/Expanded status can be saved now. You can turn it on in the general setting menu.

  • Fixed Bug: Quest Panel will not complain about lua error.

  • New Feature: Items Count. You can get a total number about how many items inside the category. This can be turned off in the general setting menu.
  • Account Wide setting changed: You can switch account wide/character wide for each of your characters. (* Need to select again if you use character setting before, don't affect the bag settings)
  • Fixed bug: Removed duplicated rules in bag setting.
  • Fixed bug: German set names should be able to be matched now.
  • Changed api:keepresearch()
    After a lot of tests, the api is not working fine. So I decided to make the api work more simple: It will match all the items can be researched. If you want better result, please use it with other api together. This is a basic idea to filter the item that is not part of a set and can be researched:
    Lua Code:
    1. keepresearch() and not isset()
  • New api:isset() api:ismonsterset()

Up!

I have just downloaded Auto Category and I love it!

I have immediately noticed the lack of integration for Set Tracker.

To my understanding, the creator of this addon seems to have abandoned it, hasn't he?
I have just tested the support with Set Tracker, it works really really well!

Many thanks!

Addendum: I discovered that it wasn't added as a category to Backpack. Was that intended?
I'm not sure what rule you're talking about, I don't think there is one for achievements?
Did I create a new category rule earlier and not know how to fully implement it, and then forget about it? Well, it's working fine now in any case now that I finished the job. Would anyone else want such a category? I'm thinking about expanding it to "all bound items that aren't gear". Otherwise they all get lumped into Other.

For your personal rules it is just personal preference as to where you want to categorize them. It just groups them together to make it easier to find the rule you want in the list.
It's a bit more complicated than that for me: I also use another mod, Advanced Filters, and it does its own categorization of a sort that is independent of AutoCategory. Now that I think about it, I think I recall Advanced Filters grouping disguises with other gear, so that is the tag I should use, I think.

Right. But just removing it now won't do as we shoudl finally fix it like the way it always had to be.
So please contact me before you change the OptionalDependsOn lines, so we can fix it in both addons properly. Otherwise we will always be working in circles here and the addons won't work properly

I had written a PM to rockingdice in February as I did not know there is a new maintainer for this addon.
Just read the entries here now by suprise.

What i currently looks like:
AutoCategory manifest txt: ##OptionallyDependsOn DotItAll
DoItAll manifest txt: no reference to DoItAll to avoid circular references

But it should be:

What it needs to be:
AutoCategory manifest txt: no reference to DoItAll to avoid circular references
DoItAll manifest txt: ##OptionallyDependsOn DotItAll

Reason: DoItAll needs to wait for AutoCategory to load so the hooks within DoItAll can use and recognize the AC special collapsing stuff in the invetories properly.

Please write me a PM here if you are going to change it so we can both change it properly and update the addons at the same time.
Thanks.

This is the most recent post in the DoItAll comments:

Baertram

AutoCategory has not removed the reference to DoItAll as it should have done
Fixed within DoItAll for now but it should have been the other way around.
Perhaps this fell through the cracks during the recent change in maintainership. The timing is about right.

Thanks, I'm going to PM you regarding the patch removal instructions. I'll check your code later and get the level checks implemented.

You seem to be misunderstanding the purpose of the currently implemented Low Level rule. It's not flawed at all, it's just an entirely different rule than what you were looking for. It matches all gear <CP160 because due to the nature of ESO, that gear is generally of little value.

I understand your desire for a different rule, but you're replacing a rule that a lot of people will use with one that has much more of a niche use case. Can you remove the patch? It's somewhat misleading since it implies that there is something wrong with the default low level gear rule.

I will definitely implement the two new functions that are needed for you (or anyone else) to implement this type of custom filter, I still plan to do that tonight or tomorrow.
That is a different purpose than I expected from the name of the Category, so yes, I did misunderstand. I don't seem to be able to delete the patch now that I've submitted it, though; the site is giving me no ability that I can see to remove it. I assume you can remove it, but I've changed the title and description to make it apparent that it has an alternative purpose. I didn't investigate how to change the default rule conditions, so the patch didn't change those automatically and I added instructions to the description to change them manually. The patch will have no noticeable effect unless those steps are followed.

In any case, I've already written the few lines for the added functions and aliases, so you can just cut and paste those.

Yeah that was the first thing I tried, removed the Alchemy and Poison category and it had no effect on the station, also, tried removing ALL categories and the alchemy station was still all screwed up...
Thanks for looking into this guys!
Looking forward to using the addon again.

I'll attach a screenshot of what I mean.

As you can see it just throws everything everywhere, splits up the waters, oil, and reagents.
Anyway to just turn this off for alchemy stations? As the default alchemy station works just fine...

Thanks!
