CharacterInfo

Version: 0.1.20113

by: wmrojer [More]

New beta version available at http://files.wowace.com/CharacterInfo/ and http://files.wowace.com/CharacterInfoStorage/ (You need both files)

-- Short Description
Shows inventory of all your characters. (Equpped items, bags contents and bank contents)

-- Long Description
CharacterInfo is made up of two modules. CharacterInfoStorage and CharacterInfo

CharacterInfoStorage handles storing all the items so you can access it from all your charactes and is loaded all the time.

CharacterInfo is the module that shows the information to you and it is loaded on demand when you first open the window. (So it doesn't use any memory until you need it)

The window is opend with /cis menu or by binding a key to it in the keybidning interface.

CharacterInfoStorage is required for CharacterInfo to work. CharacterInfoStorage will load CharacterInfo when you open the window.

It shows a simplified character screen with two buttons to toggle the bags and bank windows.
Currently it only shows your character name, class, level and your items. If I get the time i will make it show more stats like attack power, health, mana, factions, guild....

--History
I wrote this addon because I got upset about how CharactersViewer has evolved. The latest version of CharactersViewer that uses rpgoCharacterProfiler is using massive amounts of memory (close to 10MB). CharacterInfoStorage uses around 130KB with 8 characters plus about 600KB for the graphic interface (that is load on demand).
CharacterInfo shows the inventory/bags and bank content for all your characters on the same realm.

-- Release notes
0.1.20113
Changed options for RegisterChatCommand again. If this fixes it, it's definetly an Ace2 bug.

0.1.19875
Added 'handler' to RegisterChatCommand options. Lets see if it works for those that have problem using /cis menu.

0.1.19803
Now stores the first 7 numbers of the itemString instead of only 3.
Upgrades old data so it is displayed correctly.
This should fix so the 'flavor' of items are shown correctly again.
(Blizzard didn't change the itemstring in a way that is compatible, instead they added the new information in the middle.....)

0.1.19718
Fixed item links.

0.1.19419
Updated to account for changed bank size and changed bank bag slotid's.

0.1.19166
Updated for WoW 2.0

EvilCrew A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	Trying to move the frames = frustrating Because of the way my UI is set up, the frames always popup with the "title" area of the character window hidden behind a unit frame. Because of this, I can't move the frames and it's frustrating. I've tried moving the unitframe, then move the cis frame, then moved back my unitframe. Next time I log in, the cis frame is back where it was. Can the main frame please be updated so that it can be dragged/moved by clicking anywhere in the background instead of only on the title portion?

There are two ways I can see you meaning to ask that question.

1. If you are talking about sharing data between accounts which are accessed from the same computer in series, the answer is 'not possible without external munging.' WoW limits saved variable access to the account that saved the variables.

2. If you are talking about collaborative sharing of data, similar to Gatherer, CT_RaidAssist, and SW_Stats, the answer is 'not currently'. The functionality could be added if the author were so inclined. Note that one would need to be careful in how that was performed. If you were not, you could find yourself storing inventory data for many more people than you anticipated.

In the outland, there are some items with negative values in the link. For example, my Felstone Helm of the Boar has link 24818:0:0:0:0:0:-12:541327398. This item is quite definitely not unique in this regard. Last edited by zorched : 01-21-07 at 04:17 PM.

There's a little typo which prevents the main window from appearing in front of everything else (as the bank and bags windows do).
Just open CharacterInfo.xml, search for tolevel="true" and change it to toplevel="true".

...Renaming that variable to itemstringx seems to have fixed the error, perhaps itemstring is a reserved name now? I tested this on multiple characters on multiple servers last night, and all seemed ok, but ymmv. The changed lines are as follows.

local itemString = getItemStringFromLink(link);
becomes
local itemStringx = getItemStringFromLink(link);
and
bags[prefix+slot] = itemString.."|"..stack;
becomes
bags[prefix+slot] = itemStringx.."|"..stack;

Post back here if this fixes it for you.

I'm not sure how your fix and my fix could both work - as I've changed getItemStringFromLink's code (slightly) as well as a number of other patterns. Basically, it appears to me the problem is that the last digit that CIS cares about can now be negative. Adding a %-? before the last %d+ in any pattern that went after almost the full item link did it for me. I also changed to using string.match instead of strfind, because we are just throwing the first two arguments of strfind away, and that's string.match.

(Update: my change follows wowwiki's itemString example, except they still use string.find when they want string.match.)

Line 32:
32c32

Code:

   local _,_,itemString = strfind(link,"item:(%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+)")

becomes

Code:

   local itemString = string.match(link,"item:(%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%-?%d+)")

Lines 459, 475, 490, are all

Code:

                       local _,_,id,i = string.find(val,"(%d+):%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+|?(%d*)")

and they become

Code:

                       local id,i = string.match(val,"(%d+):%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%-?%d+|?(%d*)")

Line 503

Code:

               local _,_,itemString,num = string.find(self.db.realm[charName].inventory[slot],"(%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+)|?(%d*)");

becomes

Code:

               local itemString,num = string.match(self.db.realm[charName].inventory[slot],"(%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%-?%d+)|?(%d*)");

Line 538

Code:

       if not string.find(itemString,"(%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+)(|?%d*)") then

becomes

Code:

       if not string.match(itemString,"(%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%d+:%-?%d+)(|?%d*)") then

zorched A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 11 Uploads: 0	Quick (and very partial) review of latest beta Line 23 of CharacterInfo\CharacterInfo.lua uses string.find and only matches the pre-BC itemids. Line 32 of CharacterInfoStorage\CharacterInfoStorage.lua uses string.find, but matches BC itemids. The rest of the patterns in this file still only match the pre-BC itemids. Given that my characters now have many BC items, there's no way I'll try actually running this code to see how badly it fails.

Since I use AceDB, and it sees each faction on a realm as a seperate realm, I don't have access the information about the chars of the opposing faction. It's like they are on a different realm.

Scale is something I can put in. Should be pretty easy.

Kamarade Molotov A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Problem in count First I want to tell you what a great addon you made. I download your mod on Wowace and since a recent update, counting function since to behave strangely. It counts stacks instead of units, either banked or alts items. As you can see, i have 129 dream dusts (the pink ones) but it counts 7 (6 stacks of 20 + 1 stack of 9) I was wandering if this was intentional. If it is could you make an option to choose between stack or unit count? Best regards. Edit: I saw you fixed it right away. My god your fast. Thanks a lot. You really have superior quality Addons (Reczone, Tradesillinfo, CharacterInfo, etc.) Keep it up! Last edited by Kamarade Molotov : 03-04-07 at 08:54 AM.
