Hi there,
I'm proud to release ChalyInv:
What is ChalyInv?
- My aim was to have an intelligent inventory sorting without messing up my bags
- My secondary aim was to have a LITTLE HANDY window somewhere on my screen that doesn't distract me.
This status window fades to yellow when the number of free inventory slots changes (it doesn't flash, it doesn't bounce around nor does it bark..)
What is ChalyInv NOT?
- ChalyInv is not yet another inventory plugin proving a new UI for your bags
- ChalyInv is also not yet able to track the inventory of your alts
What options does it have?
None - see "intelligent sorting" below.
ChalyInv has a little UI element showing the usage of your inventory slots.
The window is moveable by using the Lotro built-in feature for unlocking your UI.
Many thanks to Pengoros for allowing me to use his well structured DragBar code (plugin
BuffBars)!
How does the "intelligent" sorting work?
It just remembers the last position of any item you ever had in your inventory.
Here's a scenario:
- Today you do some quests, hunt down some mobs, loot them.
- The mobs have some craft resources for your alt, you manually move them to bag 3.
- While questing you harvest some resources and sort them to bag 4.
- You go to a vendor, send some mails and put some items your vault, cleaning up your inventory.
The next time you get any item you already had in the past, ChalyInv will automatically sort it to the inventory slot where you once moved it manually.
(if this slot is occupied, ChalyInv tries to find the next free slot in the same bag)
So ChalyInv does NOT assume a random position (e.g. for a recipe you never had before), but you'll never have to sort the same stuff to their slots over and over again.
I really hope you like it as much as I'm glad to save me a lot time cleaning up my inventory.
