Backpack

Version: 1.0-75

by: b|m [More]

Backpack is an inventory manager for The Elder Scrolls Online. It displays groups of items from the player's inventory that are dynamically created based on custom filters. You can choose to show or hide individual groups from the addon's SETTINGS menu. Backpack can also optionally be shown when interacting with various game objects like banks, stores, other players etc. Check the addon's SETTINGS menu to change this behaviour.

So you want to have that addon installed. for now, the filter shows up, regardless if you have installed ResearchAssistant or not. The reason is that i havent made a decision what to do with the filter and the assigned groups when someone uninstalls the addon. any suggestions? Last edited by b\|m : 05/20/14 at 03:04 PM.

Now, the major thing that I feel is missing is sorting options Also, not sure if it's a bug or not. The bag slot display shows up in my bottom right corner randomly even when backpack is hidden.

I really like the filter setup, although an option to combine multiple filters for a group would be nice, but not imperative. As in, combine raw woodworking materials and refined materials into one group, for example. I guess the libfilters thing didn't work out, but a way to seperate armor types by light/medium/heavy etc would be nice aswell. Other than that, been using it a bit, it is good for a quick glance at what is on hand. The main thing stopping me using it full time so far is not being able to see Research Assistant and Item Saver Icons, as these are quite important to me. Using a combination of Inventory Grid View, Inventory Insight and This Addon together, for different uses, would be nice to just use this. Still, it is a good addition to my UI, it definitely has its uses. Thank you very much for the Awesome Addon, and the Hard Work. Last edited by Corodius : 05/18/14 at 10:03 PM.

hi,

v1.0-25 comes with a basic ui to create new and edit existing filters and groups. the update will reset your settings (once again, sry). it's still very shaky and some parts of the ui are just mock up.

there's a new context menu when you right click visible group windows. you are also able to manage groups with keybind from within the Backpack view.

so far, i hope it isnt too buggy. enjoy

Corodius, i thought about being able to add indicators (like new, junk, or indicators from addons like ResearchAssistant) to the corners and maybe to center of the slots. custom border colors and colored overlays may be an option to highlight an item too. i'm stil indecisive on that. let me know your ideas on that.

but this will need some work on the inventory slots first. it also may depend on what information is available from other addons.

thanks for checking back guys. i really appreciate it.

G'day Again

I think Custom Borders/Overlays might be good, provided it is intuitive what they mean. If going for custom Border Colours, I think they should match ones like Research Assistant to keep it similar. The Icon Overlays might be better however, as more info can be added per Icon, depending on the addons one has installed. For Example, having both the Item Saver Lock Icon and Research Assistant Research Icon.

I can grab some shots of Inventory Grid View with these enabled to show what I mean, if need be.

I know Research Assistant has a hook for allowing something like this, whether that would mean it would need to be a dependancy then I am not sure. Inventory Grid View might be a good example for code for these however.

I wish I knew more to help, but my LUA scope has been more concentrated on Game Logic before this, (modding games, Homeworld 2 for example) but I am slowly learning. Hopefully I will be able to provide proper help soon enough, instead of just suggestions.

If you need any simple gfx/icon work I might be able to help there aswell.

Corodius Forum posts: 1 File comments: 36 Uploads: 1	Haha well, I am glad that worked out well. While having a play around, another Idea struck me aswell, would it be possible to add support for ingeniousclown's other mods, namely Research Assistant and Item Saver, as in showing the Icons for Research Assistant and Item Saver. I know they work with his Inventory Grid View addon, showing the Icons in the corners. This is basically what I mean, working like they do with the Inventory Grid View addon. Thank you very much, for an Awesome Addon and your Consideration. Corodius

dear sir,

thanks for so many awesome addons.

I had a quick look at libFilters and AdvancedFilters. The filter implementations in AdvancedFilters look very promising. I think if they could be called from libFilters, it would be a real timesaver for a lot of people.

Also, possibly similar categories as Advanced Filters (http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info2...edFilters.html) uses, whether they are automatically part of LibFilters or would need to be added seperately I am not sure.

Thank you, for your Consideration and an Awesome Mod.

I don't think libFilters will work for this add-on. It was developed and is used for filtering the default inventory spaces so add-on devs who want to add filtering to the default inventories won't conflict.

Of course, it depends on exactly how this add-on was implemented, and it could very well be using the pieces of the default UI that libFilters targets.

The reason I don't have support for any generic container (eg: some random add-on dev's Backpack container :P ) is because the way filtering is done could be defined in ANY number of ways. Further, after going through the trouble of creating and implementing one's own list container, populating it via filters is trivial (often less than 5 lines of a very simple boolean function). On top of all that, you won't often find developers adding filters to another add-on. If you expect it, exposing a couple functions for it shouldn't be too difficult.

All that said, if you can think of a way for libFilters to implement filters for generic containers that works well, I'd be happy to implement it.

Also, feel free to copy/use my crappy filter factory functions (fff--) in Advanced Filters to implement your filters, if you wish. The filters I made weren't difficult, just annoying and tedious. This project is pretty cool :P

*edit: Now that I think of it, adding those factories to libFilters could be pretty useful... I'll wait until they update the API for GetItemWeaponType and GetItemArmorType, though.

Re: Separate Windows

Hi,

First of all, there is a new version that will reset your settings. This should be dealt with automatically. Anyway, if you are having trouble after an update, you may want to delete Backpack settings. The file is usually located somewhere like C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\SavedVariables\Backpack.lua. Also make sure you log out, BEFORE deleting the settings file

Originally Posted by DaemonSambe

At any given moment, depending on what's in the inventory, the individual groups, can be any size. And as the size changes, so does their placement, making it hard to keep them organized on screen without constantly moving them around. This is particularly true with the "Empty" group.

I think the mod would be better served, if the groups all resided within a single frame, and adjusted within. I think it would also be better on the resources within ESO's mod api, to have one frame, rather than 6-8.

regards.

You are probably right. I also thought about putting all groups in one top level container. but i dont really see how that would change the layouting problem. for now the group windows keep their width and i try my best to not make the windows jump around (that may still sometimes happen though). i agree that when it comes to resource management their is still plenty room for improvement (especially know that you can inspect the player's bank content).

Also, adding sorting within caterogies. For example setting sorting priority rarity -> value -> alphabetically. Or type -> tier for crafting matirials so that clothier materials would be sorted first by in order of jute -> flax -> cotton etc.

Hi, I add comparative tooltips. I always wanted that too

. I also worked on the options to show Backpack at the store/bank/.. so that should work smoother now. lol.

Thanks for leaving your feedback folks.
