If the search term is treated as a pattern (rather than a literal string) you'd have to put in "Fire%-oil" to find it. (Just guessing at a possible reason the search isn't working as expected.)

I no longer play so this is from memory, but IIRC, all you do is select the scope that you want to search (either a specific character's bags or vault or the All character group) and then type the key phrase to filter on - if you only put in "Fire-oil", it will match anything containing "Fire-oil" in it's name. Note, that would also potentially match things like recipes. If the item does not specify the crafted level in it's name there is no way to be more specific but if it does, you can include the more specific name and it will limit responses to that.

Is there a way to search for Fire-oil of any kind (Westemnet, Doomfold, etc.)?

Hi. The carry-all bags are not exposed to Lua so this is not possible at this time. (see the prior question asked and answered )

Maurycy

hello, is it chance for add carry-all bags to AltInventory?

Garan

Hi,
Short answer - it's not likely that carry-alls will ever be exposed to Lua but if they are I will likely update AltInventory.

Long answer -
I already asked SSG if there were plans to expose the carry-all's to Lua but they never responded. Unfortunately, the LotRO Lua API was a pet project of a couple of developers at Turbine and none of them are still with SSG so there is an extremely limited amount of knowledge about the system and very little interest in the system so it is highly unlikely that the carry-alls will ever be exposed to Lua - and worse, there's a good chance that if they attempt to do it they will break something else, quite possibly disastrously. Back in early 2011 there was a crash to desktop added by a well meaning developer that made a mistake when exposing equipped items which didn't get fixed until November of 2014. It took me a couple of days to isolate the crash to desktop and far longer to strip out all of the equipped items code from AltInventory (which is why AltInventory got split up and none of the non-inventory features were ever re-introduced). It would be catastrophic to the plugin community if all inventory plugins suddenly started crashing the client with no support from SSG and most of the original authors gone so part of me almost hopes they don't implement the carry-alls...

Thanks for this amazing plugin! Are there any plans to support the new crafting carry-all bags (if that's even possible)?

Hi, Garan.
If use Russian Language, plugin will fall with error
You can repeat it by yourself.
1) Change language to Russian
2) Save settings
3) Unload plugin
4) Try to Load plugin.

When I translated this strings a year ago I didn't notice this error.

UPD. I think maybe you forgot to include Russian strings in Item Category, or maybe I forgot to send it to you

UPD. Yeah. That's Right. I fixed it. I'll send you later new strings to add in plugin.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the response.

Garan

Sorry, subscription info is not exposed so if they are under the same account name it all looks the same to Lua

Beianus

Is there a way to separate subscriptions in account for the shared storage? I have three subscriptions in one account, making it hard to separate info. I really enjoy your plugins.

Garan

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately, since the ALL view can show items that may exist on many if not all characters (I have some items like those pesky Dol Amroth tokens on nearly a dozen characters) having a unique color code per character would be impossible. Since there will be many items that have multiple quantities on multiple characters, your suggestion won't work. What the plugin does do though is provide a pop-up that lists which characters have any specific item, just hover over the item in ALL view and you will see a list of each character that has the item and their quantity.

Note, there is also a pop-up list for the individual character and individual vault displays but if you have ever altered the bag layout (dragging inventory slots to another bag) the bag number will not be accurate (lua has no access to the actual bag slot so when Turbine allowed users to modify the number of slots per bag and to drag slots between bags it messed up the Lua API). I never bothered removing the bag number as it isn't used by many people and is still accurate if you don't move slots around.

When you use the "ALL" button to show the inventory of all characters, it would be nice if it could show which character the item belongs to. Perhaps with color coding.

Well, you could sign up for the Alt Viewer service, it comes with a script that automatically synchs your plugindata files with a web server and lets you view all of your characters and their inventories on any device and even set viewing privileges for other people. Only problem is, it only partially exists as a 'proof of concept' on my test server and the rest is on my whiteboard among a loooong list of other ToDo items

So, the only real way to synch plugin info between two PCs is to manually synch the .plugindata files. To do this, you would need to share the documents folder from one of the PCs, open them both, sort them by date and copy the files with the newest dates. The data is all saved in the AllCharacters folder for the server but the settings files are saved in the individual character folder. (you only need to synch the settings file if you change views or icon locations, etc. and want that synched as well)

The default path to the AllCharactes folder is:
where accountName is your account name and serverName is the server name.
The relevant files in the AllCharacter's folder are:
AltInventoryCharList.plugindata
AltInventoryData.plugindata

You can ignore the data snapshot files as they only serve as data backups and are never used by the plugin.

If for some reason you want to synch settings, the relevant file is in each characterName folder (instead of AllCharacters) and is named:
AltInventorySettings.plugindata

Alt Inventory is awesome! I can't imagine playing LOTRO without it!

I have a desktop PC and a laptop PC, both running Windows 7, and I play LOTRO on both machines (not at the same time; one day I may be playing on the laptop, and another day I may be playing on the desktop). How can I keep the Alt Inventory data synced between the two machines?
