BankStack
BankStack is the leading cause of things moving in your bags and bank.
It:
- sorts your inventory, bank, or guild bank
- fills incomplete stacks in your bank with items from your inventory
- compresses your bags by filling incomplete stacks within them
- puts a chicken in every pot, and pot in every chicken
Quick command reference:
/bankstack
: show configuration/sort
: rearrange your bags/sort bank
: rearrange your bank/stack
: fills stacks in your bank from your bags/stack bank bags
: fills stacks in your bags from your bank/stack {group1} {group2}
: fills stacks in group2 from group1/compress
: merges stacks in your bags/compress bank
: merges stacks in your bank/compress {group}
: merges stacks in group/fill
: fill empty slots in your bank from your bags/fill {group1} {group2}
: fill empty slots in group2 from group1
In the /bankstack configuration you'll find sections for "ignore" and "groups". Here's a bit of elaboration on the syntax for those parts.
You need, regrettably, to hear about bag ids first. Each bag has a number which addons use to interact with it.
Your bags are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Your bank is: -1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Your guild bank is: 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58
To ignore slot 1 of bag 0, the first slot in your backpack, go to the "ignore" panel and put "0 1" into the textfield and click "okay".
Groups are similar. Let's say that you're a herbalist, and only want to do some things to your herb bags.
You could put this into the "groups" textbox: herbs 3,4 Or this: bankherbs 10,11
You now have two custom groups, herbs and bankherbs. Presumably you keep massive herb bags in slots 3 and 4, and are making lots of money from this because you have the two most expensive bank slots as well (10 and 11).
Having created these groups you could:
/stack herbs bankherbs
Which would fill up stacks in your bank herb bags from stacks in your personal herb bags.
Predefined groups are: bank, bags, guild, all, and a few more. Click the "list" button in the groups config to see these.
Hey, this is one of my favorite addons, I used it since WotLK and it worked perfectly, I recently returned for Legion and every time I used the regular stack option my game freezes and never unfreezes, its starts with regular sorting, I can see item icons cycling at my cursor, but after that only thing that helps is alt+f4. I use bagnon and a handful of other addons, any idea what dependency may be causing this?
I have reinstalled the addon and all but it still crashes every time :<
Someone else reported that Bagnon was causing similar problems for them -- could you try disabling that and seeing whether this happens with the base UI?
(I'm using Inventorian, so I'm not super exposed to that at the moment.)
If that doesn't help, could you (a) make sure you're running the latest version, and (b) do `/bankstackdebug` and send me the contents of the window that pops up via http://wowace.com/paste/
Hey! Thank you for the fast answer! I used the latest version. Disabling bagnon didn't help :(
Here is the debug paste https://www.wowace.com/paste/15473/ , looking forward to your answer, blizzard default sorting is way worse than your addon <3
What would be super useful would be to have an option to allow for something like the "Deposit all Reagents" in the default UI, except it would deposit all reagents into their item-specific bank bags as a first choice before going into the Reagent bank, and sorting would preferentially move things from the Reagent bank to the item-specific bags as well.
So, things like Herb or Food or Mining bags (in the bank) would be effectively an extension of the Reagent bank, the way Blizzard should have done it in the first place.
So, instead of /stack, you might have a new /deposit command, for example. For the sort, either have an option to enable the new behavior, or use a new /sort tag (e.g. /sort reagent).
It would also be pretty cool if the Blizzard sorting option could be used to do the sorting but modified to use your sorting options, I haven't looked to see if that could be hooked to alter the sort criteria while using the underlying mechanism, but if that could be done, it might be much faster (and then be able to use the existing button).
Unfortunately, there's no way to hook into Blizzard's sorting. I've looked, and it's just backend magic. There's the options on the bags, and there's the option for whether to sort bags left to right or right to left.
As for "deposit", that's actually somewhat attainable -- it's just a slightly more aggressive version of the existing behavior when you do `/stack bags bank`, after all. The main missing thing is that there's no current way to tell it to ignore "normal" bags, so you'd have to make your own custom groups for it.
Hi, Thank you so much for this addon :)
I was wondering if there's a possibility to add functionality for void storage? If it's complicated, no worries, but just wondering :)
As of the latest update yesterday, this is now sorting things in the guild much differently than what it used to. Gear seems to now be sorting by rarity and then level as opposed to type, and I honestly cannot decipher what madness it's trying to do in my bank alt's guild bank that is stocked brim full of randomness. I THINK it's trying to now sort that stuff by use and then ilevel? Though I could be wrong... Is this an intended new change?

Fixed that.
for me the addon isnt working either, its crashing on my guild bank
Doh! so I forgot it is sort guild1 to sort guild7 no space between the guild and number. Could you add this to your description so it is easy to find again when I inevitably forget it?
Previous to today, BankStack's guild bank organization tool was sufficient for my needs. Today, it has been doing seemingly random moves with my guild bank. Very odd stuff happening here. No changes from default settings have been made. The below screenshot is "perfection" for the tab per BankStack today, 8-16. Thank you for your time and effort on this addon!
You and another person both complained about this right at the same time yesterday, without any addon updates having happened. I thus speculate that it was some Blizzard-side server issue causing the problem.
Would you mind checking again, and seeing if this still happens to you? (I can't cause any guild-bank problems, for my own part.)
Sure thanks for the rapid follow up. I know you do this for free so I appreciate your time and effort. I suspect this was caused by a client update, not your addon, but the addon logic may have to unfortunately be adjusted to compensate.
Tested just now, still doing the same deal.
I tried this addon for the singular purpose of sorting a guild bank. I was thoroughly disappointed with the result. Not only was its action restricted to one tab/bag at a time, it could not successfully reorganize, reorder, and condense even a single tab. This particular guild had items in stacks of 20 for which the stacking rules had later been dramatically increased. BankStack was unable to (a) reorder the stacks in any meaningful way and (b) unable to condense them according to the current stacking limits. Watching it in real time attempt to condense the stacks in a seemingly random irrational process was both amusing and disappointing in its futility.
BankStack is one of the most promising and ultimately disappointing addons of the many dozens I have used.

Having already manually completed the task, and having uninstalled BankStack thereafter, I have nevertheless tried it again. The resulting behavior seemed less insane this time, but it's harder to tell since I had already cleaned everything up myself. It did sort the tab contents differently, and also sorted multiple stacks in reverse by putting a partial stack first and then the full ones to follow. More worrisome is its failure to sort a partial Sunstone stack adjacent to the full ones, instead isolating it with Tiger Opal stacks in between. I am not reassured enough of its behavior to try convincing my wife to apply it to the much more congested guild bank she manages; a similar failure there would take much time to correct. I see the perversity in that comment, since it won't be easy to become reassured without trying it again repeatedly successfully myself. There's a cliche for this....

Thank you for keeping this addon updated! <3
