Custom Item Notes Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.23

by: Alianym [More]

Welcome to Custom Item Notes!

Created after a request to add notes to items. You can view/update these with the new context menu item "Edit Note" (text is localized). This is a relatively simple implementation that I may expand if anyone has other requests/thoughts/comments on how it could be improved but my aim for this initial release was to keep it fairly simple. Usage should hopefully be pretty straightforward, (see below).

To edit (add/remove) a note from an item:

Code:

Open context menu (right-click on Keyboard+Mouse) and select "Edit Note", then SAVE to update the note.

I can add a command to remove all CINs (custom item notes) at once if the desire is there, but for now it's a 1:1 add/remove.

Each note is tied to an item ID and the notes are currently stored account-wide per megaserver.

Required Libraries:
LibCustomMenu

Optional Libraries:
LibAddonMenu

v1.23

Added LibAddonMenu as an optional dependency, with options to change the color and rescale the inventory icon
- This patch changes some details about your saved notes, so please back up your Saved Variables just in case before you update!

v1.22

Update to EditBox due to API changes

v1.21

Bug fixes for v1.20 (folder misname fixed and Crafted Potion notes should now properly delete)

v1.20

Separated out Crafted Potions for more accurate note-taking. Crafted Potion notes created or overwritten from this point onwards will be tied to the specific potion effects instead of itemId (which didn't take into account potion effects). This won't wipe existing potion notes. (re: HowellQagan)

v1.1

Removed the "Notes" header in the notes display – This has the result that notes will now scale to the size of the text (re: HowellQagan)

v1.0a

Fixed up the implementation from v1.0 (skipped over the wiki page too quickly the first time!)

v1.0

Added an icon to items in the inventory with notes (thanks ziplock9000 for prompting this, and thanks to whoever did the ESOUI wiki page with a PreHook/PostHook example of just this use-case)

v0.99f

Fixing compatibility issues, Part 2 (Thanks OneSkyGod for helping me reproduce and isolate the issue, and Baertram for helping me apply a fix)

v0.99e

Fixing compatibility issues

v0.99d

Fixing the bug, Round 2

v0.99c

Recreated the tooltip on mouse-over (hopefully the initial issue is fixed this time)
Added some multi-language support (thanks Baertram)

v0.99b

Updated a terribly generic global to be less generic

v0.99a

Updated functionality to mimic guild/friend notes (no more /commands)
Any notes you've created should carry over to this new system

I'm still unable to open containers with this addon enabled. Getting following error when trying to open a container with the keybind.

Code:

Hey there,

Thanks for the error message, but it's kind of weird because at InventorySlot.lua:1110 is:

Code:

1105    local function TryUseItem(inventorySlot)
1106        local bag, index = ZO_Inventory_GetBagAndIndex(inventorySlot)
1107        local usable, onlyFromActionSlot = IsItemUsable(bag, index)
1108        if usable and not onlyFromActionSlot then
1109            ClearCursor()
1110            UseItem(bag, index)
1111            return true
1112        end
1112    end

And that's a base ZOS function I don't even touch, (and would definitely risk breaking things if I did).

Code:

UseItem *protected* (*[Bag|#Bag]* _bagId_, *integer* _slotIndex_)

I have no idea how this would be my AddOn causing it, the only option I can think of is if it's some weird conflict but still that function doesn't even get a mention in my code. Have you tried to see if the bug happens when you have only Custom Item Notes and LibCustomMenu installed?

But as soon as I enable my other addons and your addon it stops working.
Once I disable your addon but leave all other addons enabled it works fine.

I've just enabled PersonalAssistant and your addon, it stopped working. Once i disabled your addon it worked fine to open containers in my inventory.

It must be something in your addon that breaks this :/

I can't even use buff food or learn recipes/motifs via the keybind Edit: As soon as I enable any addon that adds a entry on the right click menu, it stops working. When I disable Tamriel Trade Centre, Arkadius Trade Tools and PersonalAssistant it works. As soon as I enable any of the addons that add something to the context menu, it breaks the hotkey.

It fixed it on my end (thanks for the detail on conflicting AddOns – helped me narrow down the issue (I hope)). As ever, let me know if any errors come up still. Working on a fix for the issue you're coming across, ksorah. I think I've got it, just want to see about one last test. Last edited by Alianym : 04/11/21 at 01:47 AM.

Hey there,

I like the idea, so I'll put it on the To-Do list. Don't know how soon I'll get to it unfortunately though, my outside-ESO life has been... hectic to say the least recently. Which is why it took five days to reply when normally I'm checking my comments more often. :P In any event, it's a good idea so I'll look into it.

and thanks to whoever did the ESOUI wiki page with a PreHook/PostHook example of just this use-case

You are welcome, that's what the Wiki is there for

But why didn't you use the SecurePostHook from the example?
Your code overwrites the original setup function and is basically the same, where the SecurePosthook should assure it will "append" your code to the end of the original code calls, done in ZOs secure way.

I've changed the Wiki to explain that better now so the SecurePostHook will be prefered, if working.

Because I was too excited seeing a solution and might've just figured; "this works, I'll go with that!"

Really that's on me for not reading the whole page more thoroughly, but thanks for updating the page anyway.

Fixed it up with the latest update.

Not sure how formatting elements works in LUA but from a UX perspective I would suggest setting the size of notes with a max width value and otherwise use only as much space as necessary for the note (with a comfortable padding around the text of course). For example, the new Leyawiin Reward Coffers have the same name but different ID for wb and delve quest rewards (as they contain different things) and I just added the note "delve" and "wb" to them but it still generates the same width note as with a longer note. Also FYI if anyone was wondering, max length for notes is 254 characters.

Hey there!

Glad the AddOn helps!

I'll take a look into it and see what I can do.

Could you perhaps store the notes in a way where it also looks at the PotionEffect to treat items as unique? https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Item_Link I have these two different potions: \|H1:item:54340:308:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:36:1:0:0:0:196608\|h\|h \|H1:item:54340:308:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:36:1:0:0:0:197919\|h\|h The first one is a regular magicka potion (crafted), while the second one is a Heroism+Restore Magicka&Stamina potion. The first one is worth ~180g and the second one is worth ~3.5k+ (PC EU prices). Big difference xd. Thank you.
