Hi guys.. couple cool things

[fenedari]

Currently you can use the ouputfile dump on test. It is just not working completly yet. I used it for my inventory and opened it with Excel and it is nice.
Shows slot (ear, back, bank slot xx) and then shows what is in it. Also shows if an item can have an aug and then shows aug if present. Not showing stats at this time and maybe won't.

No where near ready but definitly looking good.

Fantastic news! I was just fussing that I wanted an autobank feature And the inventory dump will be a boon for me figuring out what's on which mule!

I look forward to seeing them on live.

[Laurelleii]

Autobank!! That will make managing my mules so much easier! YEAH~!

The dump so I can inventory them is great also.

[Leafrat]

I like autobank! Thanks Tanker!

[Arghargh]

As someone with a legion of alt mules holding stuff, thank you thank you thank you!

[mewkus]

In the effort to stretch our inch into the preverbial mile...
Willl the '/outfile inventory' also dump what's in shared bank slots? Will they include what augments are on stuff? Can there also be a '/outfile skills' that will dump our melee, spell, tradeskill, language, AA, LXP, etc skills also? Maybe keyring and flags too. Will the inventory dump do anything to distinguish different items with the same name (ie the pieces of a medallion used in the Veeshan's Peak key quest)? Any eta on when these are going live?

As an aside, with the autobank thing, you mention "Big bank only". Not wanting to sound like a total nube, but what is that? I've always just clicked on the banker and gotten the same ol' bank window I've gotten since the new UI went in. Is this something new that I've missed? Or does this work only in the big bank in PoK (as opposed to the one over near the wiz/druid port in and the other banks scattered about Norath/Luclin)?

Big BAnk only = everything EXCEPT the shared slots

[fenedari]

Big Bank is the bank with 16 slots that came out with LoY. Normal bank is 8.
You do get a dump of what's in shared bank slots.
Not sure on same name, different item. Dont have my account with shards up right now.
Skills is a good idea. Hope they add that.

[Tanker]

Glad you all are liking the new features (or at least the idea of them, since most haven't seen them yet).

-------------------

AutoBank is a button in the 16-slot BigBankWnd.xml file only, and won't work from 8-slot BankWnd.xml (which is loaded if you didn't buy LoY, but what tradeskiller didn't buy LoY?). I call it the Big Bank because that's the name I came up with for the XML. "Me have much 'ma-gi-.. I-ma-g-... ideas!"

----------------------

/outputfile inventory lists all of your worn, bag, bank, and shared bank slots, including all their contained items (for bags) and their augments (for others). It even lists slots as empty (if they are).

/outputfile skills isn't a bad idea. I've got an expansion feature I'm working on now (yes, I'd have told you which one if I was gonna), so I don't know if it'll get in before /outputfile goes live.

--------------------

As for when this stuff goes live. Patching every week is DEATH on expansion feature work. It's really nice to be able to put your stuff up (even when hidden) for a couple weeks on Test to find any memory leaks or whatnot your code might have added. One of the guys here has had half the client tree checked out for over a month, since he can't check in until we know we'll have that 2 weeks of testing. That said, I'm in no hurry for this to go live; it'll probably happen the next live patch.

That's the raw text file. It can be imported into a spreadsheet like Excel (it's a "tab delimited text file") and then sorted and manipulated and saved as an HTML file. Here's links to an unsorted version of the file as a web page, and to one sorted by "ID" (apparently an internal item ID number) from highest to lowest, and then by "location" from lowest to highest.

Inventory Raw File

Sorted Inventory file

Several things worth noting that may answer questions I have seen so far:

1. Augment slots are listed. (All of mine are empty, but they are there.) The way this is handled is probably easiest to see in the raw version of the HTML file linked above.

2. If two items have the same name the only thing to distinguish between them is the "ID" number. You can see this above in these lines:

General4-Slot3 Part of Tasarin's Grimoire Pg. 312 16076 1 0
General4-Slot4 Part of Tasarin's Grimoire Pg. 312 16077 1 0
General4-Slot5 Part of Tasarin's Grimoire Pg. 375 16078 1 0
General4-Slot6 Part of Tasarin's Grimoire Pg. 375 16079 1 0

Those represent the left and right sides of some enchanter research pages. In this case the left sides of the pages have ID numbers 16076 and 16078, and the right sides of the pages have numbers 16077 and 16079.

3. The column headings include:

Location -- tells you where the item is

Name -- gives the name of the item (or indicates "empty" if nothing is there)

ID -- gives an ID number for the item which seems to be an internal database ID number to indicate which specific item it is

Count -- indicates how many there are which is useful if the item is stackable

Slots -- apparently indicates how many augment slots the item has

Folks, with a little bit of work this acts as a crude version of Magelo.

[Ariaya]

Thank you for the sample file!

Got my brain ticking of all sorts of fun stuff I could make of this ...... sweet!

I can't wait for this to go live!

[Arrica]

Mmm, Auto-Bank, yummy.


Since we're on the subject of neato Auto-Abilities:
So... when do we get a Server-Side Auto Ranged Attack?
Would make lotsa rangers very happy.

[Andara Lan`Gstrom]

AUTOBANK! WHEEEE!!!!!!

Thanks for this feature, have wanted it since I started playing 3 years ago.

[aruvqan]

hm, too many empty slots....must fill slots.....

[Sanna]

As someone who suffered from ungodly extreme lag on Sullon (where you would think the lowest-population factor would make it have the least lag) after the melee patch on Dec 16... once it took me 15 minutes to move the mouse enough to make the subcombines for a mere 20 MTP combines...

Even as someone who absolutely loves the new graphics engine for the 98pct-of-the-time wonderfully less mouse/video lag I have...

Can /autobank please please please be a hotkeyable command, like /autoinventory?

Please?

If I bat my pretty gnomish eyelashes and smile all cute? And promise chocolate?
