Possessions  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.0.4
by: Siz [More]

Possessions keeps track of gold and items across all of your characters on each server. Its primary utility comes from being able to use a slash command to instantly show you where you already possess an item on the server without cluttering your tooltips all the time.

Commands:

  • /poss - Open the possessions window
  • /poss text - Open Possessions and search for "text"
  • /poss [Item Link] - Open Possessions and search for the item linked
  • /poss -clear name - Clears all stored data for the character or guild named "name" on the current realm.
  • /poss -updatetypes - Queries the server for all item types and subtypes in existence to be used in the "All types and subtypes" dropdown. Using this command may cause your game to freeze for a moment while it processes. This should be particularly useful for non enUS users. It is most useful when you have lots of items cached, so not immediately after a patch has cleared your cache.

Some Features:
  • Item Link Storage:
    For any character on your account, Possessions stores worn items, items in your inventory, in your keyring, in the bank, in the inbox, and in the the Guild Bank. It also keeps track of the bags themselves! Of course, you must log in to each character at least once to store their worn items, their inventory, and their keyring contents. In order to track bank contents, you must visit the bank. Possessions stores the items that are in your character's inbox any time you open your inbox. It also stores any items that you mail to one of your alts that Possessions recognizes.
  • Money Tracking:
    Possessions keeps track of how much money each of your characters has and displays the total at the bottom of the Possessions results window, as well as the amount per character in a tooltip when you mouseover the total. Possessions also counts money which you have mailed to an alt, or money in your inbox.

Third-Party Enhancements:
  • WhoHas - "WhoHas modifies every tooltip in the game to show which of your characters have the item in the tooltip, and where."

History:
Possessions was originally written for Vanilla WoW by Oystein and was updated for 2.3 and a few later patches by myself. Sorry for the lack of updates here since 2007, but thank you to everyone who kept it going with patches and fixes in my absence!

4.0.4
- Fix an error which appeared for people upgrading from previous versions of Possessions who had Lite mode disabled.

4.0.3
- Searching for items with hyphens in the name now works.

4.0.1 (TOC: 40000)
- Queue bag scanning to no more than once every 1.5 seconds.
- Use the new GetItemIcon function to ensure that we get a texture even for unvalidated items (no more question mark icon!).
- Added Broker Launcher to toggle the Possessions Window.
- Added option to restrict search results to the current faction only.
- Added option to exclude Guild Bank results.
- Added faction color to Character Selection DropDown menu. Blue = Alliance, Red = Horde. Guild banks may be colored Green until you refresh them once.
- Now properly records and displays reforged items.
- Updated current Types and Subtypes to match what's currently in game. Also added a new commandline option (-updatetypes) to scan for types. This should be helpful for non-enUS users or after a patch which adds new types/subtypes. Your game may freeze for a moment while this is running.
- Removed Lite Mode option since it is no longer necessary to store Icons at all.
- Searching from the commandline no longer steals focus. Focus is taken only when Possessions is toggled with no new input such as with "/poss" or by clicking the Broker button.
- Thanks to the wonderful Possessions users and fans who continued to share fixes and patches and updates in my absence!

2.0.2o v3
- Fixed a bug which caused an error to appear when mousing over the total gold value
if you have guild bank data stored.
- Added a "/poss -validate all" slash command to validate all items in your database
for the current realm.

2.0.2o v2
- Fixed a bug which caused errors for new users of Possessions and when adding new bags.

2.0.2o
- Track the bags in your character's inventory and bank bag slots. Thanks to
Lauchsuppe for the example.
- Record guild bank contents. Guilds will show up in your list of characters,
as if they were characters. Thanks to Gruma, author of WhoHas, for the idea to use GBF_Update.

2.0.2n v2
- Added support for multiple attachments to mail.

2.0.2n (TOC: 20300)
- Support for new item subtypes in the 2.3 patch. You can now find things like
Herbs, Ore, and leather more easily.

2.0.2m v2:
- Fixed: Bug which caused errors on login for the first time with Possessions installed.

2.0.2m:
- New: Money in a character's inbox is counted towards a character's total money.
- New: Records items and money returned from one of your characters inbox to another.
- Fixed: Bug which caused items to be added to your possessions even if a SendMail failed.
- Fixed: Bug which prevented bags which had an empty first slot from being stored
after logging out.
- Fixed: Bug which occasionally caused possessions to stop working after zoning.
- Fixed: Bug which caused incorrect item to show when a search had only one result.
- Fixed: Bug which could cause stacks of the same item to show up separately in results
if the compressed links were different.
- Improved: Enabling/Disabling Lite Mode instantly adds or removes icons for all
characters on the current realm in your database. You can temporarily disable Lite Mode
right before you want to get your savedvariables file for Possessions PHP Guildbank.
- Improved: Lite Mode now also combines stacks of like items within the same bag to
reduce the database size. This is currently a work-in-progress.
- Changed: MoneyTooltip is sorted alphabetically.

2.0.2l: (TOC: 20200)
- New: Icons in the tooltip for search results to help show where the item is located.
- Improved: Reduced garbage memory creation for inventory changes and searches.
This means that Possessions should no longer use up gobs of memory if you conduct
lots of searches.
- Improved: Handling of event-based bag scanning. Eliminated double scans.
- Improved: Search results will no longer clump items with the same name, but
different gems/enchants together preventing you from seeing the true link.
- Improved Full Text Search tooltip scanning speed and hopefully other aspects of performance.
- Removed: EnhTooltip support is removed. No functionality is lost, the original
Possessions used EnhTooltip to display money, but that is now built-in, so EnhTooltip
is no longer necessary.

2.0.2k v2:
- Fixed: Error when sending mail with no attachment.
- Fixed: Added missing Subtypes for Simple and Prismatic gems.

2.0.2k:
- New: WIM support. You can link items to WIM chat windows.
- New: Optional Full Text Search. This allows you to search all lines in the item's tooltip.
When this is enabled, searches will be slower.
- New: Items that you mail to alts will now be recorded with links
- New: Added support for new "Gem" Type and its corresponding subtypes. You can
search for gems by their color.

2.0.2j:
- Improved: Scaled random suffixes are extracted from the uniqueID to reduce the
amount of memory needed to store items with negative suffixIDs. For example, both
"362610728" and "343867432" become simply "40".
- New: Search by item type and subtype. Also added buttons to reset all search fields
and to begin the search.
- New: Drop down menus are sorted alphabetically.
- New: Now shows a note when you mouseover an uncached item with a question mark
icon in the Possessions window explaining how to query the server for the item link.
The note resembles that of AtlasLoot Enhanced. Also shows a message recommending
that you check the mail on a character which has an unconfirmed item in their inbox.
- Change: Possessions window is no longer always on top of other windows.

2.0.2i:
- Change: Defaults to Lite Mode. Nothing can parse the new savedvariables format yet
anyways. *Update* Possessions php Guildbank Cont seems to work, just be sure to uncheck the Lite Mode box to tell Possessions to save the item texture.
- Fix: Properly handle instanceID which determines the stats of new randomly enchanted items.
- Fix: Left or right clicking a randomly enchanted item will show the correct link.

2.0.2H:
- New: Optional Lite Mode. When Lite Mode is enabled, item textures (Icons) are not stored in memory. Instead, they are retrieved when needed from the server. Lite Mode also shrinks the itemString whenever possible to save memory. This feature is toggled by a new checkbox in the bottom right corner of the Possessions window. The downside to this is that programs like Possessions Browser do not have the Texture available.
- New: Money will be displayed even without enhTooltip.
- New: Accept Links as parameters at the command line. Example: "/poss [Hearthstone]"
- New: Left clicking an item in the Possessions results list will pop up a movable tooltip for the item.
- New: /poss -clear <name> command for clearing all data for a certain character on the current realm.
- New: Items recorded in your inbox will now have links.
- Fix: Shouldn't taint any global variables anymore. (thanks to devilcat on curse-gaming.com)
- Fix: Support for negative suffixIDs and uniqueIDs in patch 2.0.3.
- Fix: Added Pairs() to Possessions_convertDB1to2. Thanks Dridzt

2.0.2g:
- Keyring support (thanks to Lauchsuppe for some ideas).
- Now Ignores UniqueID to save some memory. I'm considering a way to ignore unused enchant and suffix data too.
- Won't show tooltip for items that don't exist in cache. Right click to query server.
- Added Stack Count to tooltip shown when mousing over items in the results window.
- Maintains backward compatibility with old data.
- Support possibly negative suffix ID in TBC.
- Added code to support the GetInboxItemLink(index) function which should be available in WoW 2.0.2. This means that items recorded in your inbox can have links instead of just text. This feature will be enabled in a future release of Possessions.

2.0.2f: Fixed a typo which caused you to be disconnected when linking items from Possessions. Also added the display of Recipe Book information to the tooltip.
2.0.2e: Now compatible with the new Item String Format. This means that items with suffixes such as "of the Bear" will be stored correctly.
2.0.2d: Improved text in dropdown for filtering by slot.
2.0.2c: Fixed filtering by slot. Items stored in your Inboxes will show up in random slots. Added Gello's fix for escape keypress.
2.0.2b: Fixed some table references that I missed which caused errors for enhtooltip users.

Doesn't work currently with old data. Try to bring it up ("/poss") and the following error occurs. The Possessions window does not come up after the error:

Possessions\\Possessions.lua:803: attempt to call a table value\nPossessions\\Possessions.lua:803: in function `Possessions_CountMoney'\nPossessions\\Possessions.lua:404: in function `Possessions_BuildDisplayIndices'\nPossessions\\Possessions.lua:313: in function `Possessions_Update'\nPossessions\\Possessions.lua:286: in function `Possessions_Show'\nPossessions\\Possessions.lua:297: in function `Possessions_SlashCommandHandler'\nPossessions\\Possessions.lua:678: in function `value'\nFrameXML\\ChatFrame.lua:3008: in function `ChatEdit_ParseText'\nFrameXML\\ChatFrame.lua:2734: in function `ChatEdit_SendText'\nFrameXML\\ChatFrame.lua:2756: in function `ChatEdit_OnEnterPressed'\n<string>:\"ChatFrameEditBox:OnEnterPressed\":2: in function <[string \"ChatFrameEditBox:OnEnterPressed\"]:1

Without Possessions being able to convert old saved databases, not much point to it. If you have to start over with brand new databases for it to work, may as well choose Sanity2 (http://www.wowace.com/files/ , look for "Sanity2" on the page). That does things in a much more aesthetically pleasing fashion (and actually works).

It shouldn't be a big deal to log into your characters once to load their information again.

I did use Sanity2 until I was able to make Possessions work for me. I prefer Possessions since there's nothing more useful to me than being able to use a simple command to see where I have an item stored.

It looks like I missed some fixes that would only normally appear for someone using EnhTooltip. Thanks for posting the errors, I'll try to fix them.

Someone else has posted a fixed version of Possessions on ui.worldofwar.net

Thanks for being quick on that fix.

As to logging on characters again to retrieve info...if only it was that simple .

One feature Possessions had (still has?) that no other inventory mod did was to make note of something you sent in mail to another character. Once you sent it, it would be listed in that character's inbox without having to log the other character and open their inbox.

When you move large masses of mail between characters, as you know, there is limited space to view it in the inbox. But Possessions would still have listed that the character you sent mail to would be in possession of that item--if you didn't open that inbox. Once you open the inbox and can no longer see the item, it would be deleted off Possession's list. It would not be recorded again until you cleared out the front of the inbox so that items in the back would appear.

That is the issue here. A shame that old data could not be imported...but hey. Thanks again for the tooltip fix.

Thanks for updating this. This is not a request but a minor suggestion, if you change this in Possessions_SearchBox:

<OnEscapePressed>
Possessions_Hide();
</OnEscapePressed>

to this:

<OnEscapePressed>
this:ClearFocus()
</OnEscapePressed>

It allows you to keep the window up while using the keyboard for other things. (opening bags, sending links, etc) Since Possessions_Frame is in UISpecialFrames a second ESC will clear the window from the screen.

Awesome tip Gello!

warda - Money still works, but Possessions requires enhTooltip in order for it to be displayed. You can get an alpha version of enhTooltip from the Auctioneer website here. This just screams "Ace2 me!"

Zidomo - I have no idea why old data doesn't work, sorry... It doesn't look like there are stray newlines in my old file such as was the case for LootLink savedvariables.

Zidomo, I didn't realize this at first, but the Item String Format used in links was completely changed in WoW 2.0. This is why old data will not work. There are now 8 fields in the itemString instead of only 4. This is likely to store information on gems that are in an items sockets and other things.

I've posted an updated version (2.0.2e) which properly handles this change so that items like "Raider's Boots of the Bear" now show the correct stats instead of no stats at all.

Woohoo. Gave this another go with the saved variables data (Possessions.lua) I backed up prior to the patch on Dec. 5.

Sure enough, it works. All my old data is visible. Great job .

Yes, yes it does . Hope to see this in Ace2 form one day, if you have it planned.

d/c on item linking

I've rebuilt my database clean since installing 2.0.2e, and when I link stuff from possessions, it d/c's me. Is this as planned?

Nope. What's the item name and does the tooltip appear to be correct when you mouseover the item before trying to link it?

Haven't tried to chat link items out my old database yet. But item tooltips for old items seem to be messed up here.

The proper item name appears in the list line. And the tooltip shows the correct character the item(s) is on as well as the correct quantity. But the other tooltip information is wrong.

For example: "Lunar Wand Of The Owl" shows "Lunar Wand" only in green and stats not belonging to the item below that. This is having logged on the character that possesses the item and opening the character frame, then checking those items from a different character (on the same account/faction).

Same issue with unique blue/purple items.

As to the disconnect-on-link issue...item ID numbers have all changed in WoW 2.x. Additional numbers have been added to all existing items (and new ones) to make room for future changes (gemcrafting, etc.). The disadvantage of this: any mod that uses old item IDs to store data will disconnect you when you try to chat link the item. This is because WoW doesn't recognize the item; it doesn't understand the old item IDs.

I do know the reason for the problem, I just don't know the best way to fix it.

Data stored by possessions from before the patch for Lunar Wand of the Owl might be "15283:0:769:0" while post-patch it should be "15283:0:0:0:0:0:769:0" Thus, the suffix is out of place and shows up missing.

I do not have enough experience in coding with LUA to know exactly how to recognize and update databases with the old format. It should be possible to manually update your old databases fairly easily by pasting ":0:0:0:0" after the first number of each ItemString. Just make sure that you edit Possessions.lua while WoW is logged out otherwise the file will be overwritten when you log out.

I (and many others) look very forward to the upcoming version 2.0.2g. You just have to love saving memory . Keeping track of keys is great too.

As per the problem with updating old item IDs, yes, several other updated mods have the same issue (LootLink, etc.). But as long as newly seen items are stored in the proper ID string format, I guess its a reasonable trade off.
