Item Saver Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.4.1.0

by: Randactyl, ingeniousclown

This started as a simple mod that allowed you to place a little marker on your items so you could remember to not accidentally sell or deconstruct them.

With Item Saver 3.0.0.0, that simple functionality is extended with some awesome new features:

Choose whether items are saved in general or uniquely - Save multiple stacks of the same item or give duplicates their own sets!
Choose to filter marked items from any combination of vendors, the deconstruction list, the research list, the guild store tell tab, the send mail window, and the trading window.
Create as many different sets of items as you like, all with their own save type, marker texture, color, and filtering rules.
Add your own marker textures to use for Item Saver sets (details below).

Full feature list:

Create a new item set with the "+ Create Set" context menu option.
Choose your set's name, save type, marker, color, and filters.
Choose your default save set.
Keybind for saving items to the default set.
Choose one of nine possible marker positions.
Item sets are listed in a submenu when right clicking an item.
The context submenu can be deferred until there are more than a specified number of sets created (1 - 5).
Edit created sets. Any changes will update immediately without needing a UI reload.
Quickly clear all items from a set.
Delete sets you no longer need.

Want some more marker textures to choose from? Check out Item Saver - Advanced Filters Marker Textures or see below to create a new texture pack for yourself. It's super easy!

Item Saver features an API for other addons to integrate with Item Saver's functionality. The full Item Saver API is listed here:

Lua Code:

ItemSaver_AddSet(setName, setData)
--returns true if the set was successfully registered.
--returns false if the set name is an empty string or already in use.
 
ItemSaver_GetDefaultSet()
--returns the default set name
 
ItemSaver_GetFilters(setName)
--if the given set exists, returns a table with the following keys: store,
--deconstruction, research, guildStore, mail, trade.
--each will have a value of true if they are filtered or false if they are not.
--if the set does not exist, returns nil
 
ItemSaver_GetMarkerAnchor()
--returns preferred anchor position for markers.
 
ItemSaver_GetMarkerInfo(bagId, slotIndex)
--returns texturePath, r, g, b if the item is saved.
--returns nil if the item is not saved.
 
ItemSaver_GetMarkerOptions()
--returns array of the names of available markers.
 
ItemSaver_GetMarkerTextures()
--returns table with key/value pairs of markerName/markerPath
 
ItemSaver_GetSaveSets()
--returns an alphabetically sorted array of the names of available save sets.
 
ItemSaver_GetSetData(setName)
--[[
    returns a table with the full info of the provided set name.
    returns nil if the set doesn't exist.
    example:
        setData = {
            ["markerColor"] = "ff0000",
            ["filterMail"] = true,
            ["filterResearch"] = true,
            ["filterGuildStore"] = true,
            ["filterDeconstruction"] = true,
            ["filterTrade"] = true,
            ["filterStore"] = true,
            ["markerTexture"] = "Two-Handed",
        }
]]
 
ItemSaver_IsItemSaved(bagId, slotIndex)
--returns true and the string set name if the item is saved. Returns false if
--the item is not saved.
 
ItemSaver_IsSubmenuDeferred()
--returns true and the maximum number of sets that will be shown without a submenu
--if submenu creation is deferred.
--returns false if submenu creation is not deferred.
 
ItemSaver_RegisterMarker(markerInformation)
--returns true if the marker was successfully registered, false if it was not.
 
ItemSaver_ToggleItemSave(setName, bagId, slotIndex)
--returns true if item was saved successfully. Returns false if item was unsaved.
--if setName is nil, the default set will be used.

---

The new API for adding marker textures takes its inspiration from Inventory Grid View's skins and Advanced Filters' dropdown filters.

There are code examples in the markertextures folder in Item Saver's root directory.

You may submit your markers as plugins for Item Saver on ESOUI.
Do this by:

Go to http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info300-ItemSaver.html (this page).
Click on "Other Files" between "Change Log" and "Comments"
Click on "Upload Optional Addon"
Enter all relevant information and attach a .zip file containing the folder that contains your plugin.
Submit

The archive hierarchy should look something like:

Code:

IS_MyMarkerTexture-1.0.0.0.zip
    IS_MyMarkerTexture
        markertextures
            MyMarkerTexture.dds
        IS_MyMarkerTexture.txt
        IS_MyMarkerTexture.lua

Remember to include all readme and disclaimer information required by ZOS.

Your addon manifest should look similar to the following:

Code:

## Title: Item Saver - My Marker Texture
## Author: Randactyl
## Version: 1.0.0.0
## APIVersion: 100012
## DependsOn: ItemSaver

IS_MyMarkerTexture.lua

Your title should retain the leading "Item Saver - " in order to keep things organized in the game's addon menu.
ItemSaver must always be included in the DependsOn line.

Randactyl Forum posts: 251 File comments: 462 Uploads: 17	@radicalb21 et al., it's a conflict with the most recent version of AwesomeGuildStore. AGS has a higher LibAddonMenu version and loading an icon picker from a lower version is causing problems. I'll update in a bit. In the mean time you can either revert AGS or copy its version of LAM to ItemSaver. Last edited by Randactyl : 07/01/16 at 11:27 AM.

UltimateZero Forum posts: 0 File comments: 18 Uploads: 0	The updates to LAM are throwing errors left and right with a lot of addons, it's not just AGS. A Lib update probably isn't going to fix this, you may have to redo whatever section's throwing the error. Some addons are throwing their own errors even after the LAM lib is updated due to incorrect implementation of features. FCO Item Saver's having problems with a settings function, for instance.

There may be another safeguard needed in LAM, but my immediate reaction to that is the newer version of LAM in IS is not being loaded over the older version in LB. Maybe the stack traceback is not reliable in determining the version of a library in use, but rather just the last addon that tried to load it.

I neglected to update the API version in the manifest. The only thing that would change is that label going away. I'll rectify it as soon as I can.

There's nothing to redo in my addon. The error is thrown when the iconpicker is created in initialization and the source of the error is within LAM. And I'll save you the trouble of armchair developing for me; if that's what you're going to do you can just go fly a kite instead.

I have zero concern for errors in FCOIS, and as per my advice to you, I'm not going to speculate on it unless Baertram asks for help directly or in our dev chat.

I'm not attempting to armchair develop for you. I'm not claiming to know your addon better than you do. I have done scripting work in the past and I've sworn before that it wasn't my mistake when something was going wrong, when it was. It happens. I was suggesting, based on quite a bit of testing and gathering what info I could about the problem within my addon list (and a few extras that friends use) that I had in front of me, that there may still have been a problem on your end.

There's no need for the attitude. It may be hard to believe, but there are some people out there that really are just trying not help, not just tell you how to do something. I didn't think there was anything in my message suggesting that I was telling you what to do, but if I'm mistaken I apologize. I was just trying to bring to your attention what we already figured out with FCOIS/Skyshards in case you hadn't seen it, and what seemed to be happening in a few other addons' cases.

You're right, I apologize. I could cite a handful of excuses for the outburst, but the bottom line is I should not have assumed the worst and lashed out.

Your three bullet points are actually all tied up together.

This is the diff for LAM 20/20.1

This just added a localized string for the panel header when the client language is set to "jp" and removed the 1 April 2016 easter egg code.

This is the diff for LAM 20.1/20.2

This came about because I had determined that when a higher version of LAM was loaded from any source than the one contained in IS, the lam.util table was reinitialized. When that was the case, the new lam.util can potentially not include the function the iconpicker adds to it, leaving us with the error "function expected instead of nil"

Now, as you can see in the diffs, no files other than LibAddonMenu-2.0.lua were modified between versions. The iconpicker widget has stayed at version 5 the whole time.
Since this is the case, I'm lead to believe that the issue lies with differing versions of LAM not gracefully handing over data created when the files are loaded. This is rather than an issue in my initialization of a LAM iconpicker, since I've not made any changes along that execution path and neither have there been any changes in LAM along that execution path.

The last thing sirinsidiator said about LAM's involvement is "the problem is that every version before r20.1 overwrites LAM.utils with an empty table. could be that it is necessary to increase iconpicker's version by 1 too so it always loads when r20.2 is loaded. I'll have to think about it in the evening."
I'm inclined to believe this is the last fix needed, as LAM widgets are not reloaded unless their widget version is higher than the previously loaded one.

I've yet to test that last bit as I'm just returning from vacation, but that is the only thing on my agenda tomorrow morning.

Also, last I saw of the error in FCOIS was "[LAM2] Could not create iconpicker 'Icône' of FCOItemSaver."
My immediate judgement is this is usually accompanied by a complaint from the WINDOW_MANAGER about failure to create a duplicate control or when bad initialization data is passed for the iconpicker.
That's all that was ever presented in our dev chat and as I said, I generally don't take it upon myself to investigate issues further than what is presented (especially when I don't use the addon).

I want to reiterate that I'm not unwilling to accept collaboration. If you want to go through the stack traceback in grueling detail, please let me know if you find something I've missed.

All I have going for me is past general experience, so I'd been fussing about with comparison tools to see if I could track down the issue, but I was looking at all the wrong things. Truthfully I had no idea what I was looking for, I was just comparing current with previous versions of both the Lib and the addons and hoping something stuck out. Was worth a shot, you never know!

I was stuck with my laptop until this morning, which was using a copy of what my desktop had installed when I left. When I was able to update both the client and the addons on my desktop today I noticed that, at least in my case, FCOIS' issue seems to have disappeared. I tested Item Saver as well but I couldn't get that error to trigger either. Some of the updated addons had LAM 20.2 in them, but since there was also a game patch, I was completely clueless what exactly may have fixed it.

I appreciate the work you put into that explanation, I wasn't expecting that at all. It's frustrating when you want to help but have no idea where to start, but at least it sounds like it's being (or been) handled.

If you want to put some of your general experience to use here, check out sirinsidiator's ongoing tutorial series to get you immersed in the ESO environment. There are a few old addons that could use an active maintainer and it's always nice to see fresh ideas as well.

This allows duplicate items to be treated uniquely and keeps an item from "unsaving" when minor details like quality or enchantment change. Due to this change, you will need to re-save all of your items. If you need to see what you had saved previously, you can manually install version 2.4.0.0.'' everytime i save my potions, then when i have 0 potion, i need to redo save it again? same goes to foods. and now when i save it on 1 char, it doenst save it on the others. so its like for me going complicated not like before. ty

If you can't think of a civil and mature way to make a request then why should an addon author bother doing free work for you? You come on here and throw a temper tantrum of all-caps entitlement, hurling insults while making demands? Yeah, that'll get you far in life buddy.

At the moment that is correct. Item Saver now marks individual stacks, so for consumables (and really items that aren't equipment) it is a bit annoying. This is not the final iteration of this change, though. I have some more reorganizing to do and I have an idea for a hybrid of the new and old systems.
