ItemSync
--- A ItemSync update for wow client 4.1.0 is coming the next days! Please be patience! ---
What is ItemSync? ItemSync is an item collection and manipulation mod. ItemSync will gather items from many different sources. Many features are available to you such as a search feature for items that were gathered and even a favorites window to keep track of items you really would like to have. ItemSync also comes bundled with several other useful tools that will be described below.
ItemSync will always maintain an updated list of items and names. Its all automatic and you dont have to do a thing. Just let ItemSync work its magic.
What features do I get with ItemSync? There are tons of features are your disposal! ItemSync comes complete with the following abilities: -Filtering -Search -QuickBag (a portable inventory bag with easy to read item prices) -Favorites (a window to keep track of all those favorite items youve wanted) -ItemID (a window to allow you to manually input item ids for items you havent seen) -Optimizer (a feature that allows you to always keep a clean and efficient database.) -Validater (a feature that allows you to validate those invalid items in your database) -And so much more!!!!
ItemSync will gather items from almost every possible location. This includes locations such as the Auction House, Bank, Inventory, Inspect Window, Chat Window, and more.
ItemSync also stores the prices of items when you visit a Vendor. Not to mention it even grabs the items that the Vendor has to sell!!!
Favorites Window: A neat ability that is available to you when you use ItemSync. It allows you to store those items you come across and have always wanted. The Favorites window makes it easy for you to remember items. No more writing down items and then forgetting what they were called or what stats they had.
QuickBags: QuickBags is a portable inventory bag, which displays prices of items in a simple to read format. No more having to hover items in your bags to view what each item is worth. Selling items to a vendor has never been easier!
Search Window: ItemSync comes with a very power search capability. You can search by items by location, rarity, level, and even resistance.
ItemID: ItemID is a very nifty tool which allows you to manually input items by their item id to your database. This is a great way to add items you havent come across yet. Filtering: ItemSync can store items based upon your filtering settings. Want ItemSync to only collect blue items and above? Its easy with the Filter window. You can even purge the database by a specific rarity.
Fetch Links: Fetch Links is a very handy feature in ItemSync that allows you to quickly and easily add items to chat by using partial names. For example typing [*ore*] in the chat window would replace it with the actual link for [Copper Ore]. Fetch Links is a very powerful tool and has many applications.
Can I see prices of items in the tooltips?
YES! ItemSync has the ability to display both the Vendor Price and the Sell Price for an item within the tooltip. You can select which features you wish to view within the Options window.
Do I ever get disconnected linking an item? You shouldnt ever disconnect while linking an item from ItemSync. ItemSync has been programmed to prevent any such actions from occurring. If however in the event you do disconnect then you should take caution when linking that item in the future. The creator of ItemSync takes no responsibility for any disconnections that may occur while using ItemSync.
Can I see the items across servers? Yes, this option is available to you. It isnt recommended as item ids are different across servers. This means you will always have a constant list of invalid items if you merge them across servers. By default ItemSync separates item collection by server.
Can I convert my data from LootLink/KC_Items/ItemsMatrix?
NO! I repeat NO! This ability has been removed from any future version of ItemSync. This is just to time consuming. If other folks wish to make converters then they are allowed to. I will post links to them as they become available.
If you guys and gals could be so gracious as to spread your views and acknowledgement and acceptance of ItemSync to your friends and family. I would be truely in all your debts.
Also your votes would be truely kind and will repay me for all the work i've put into this mod.
Sincerely Yours, Derkyle
Why is it that every time there is a patch I end up with items that were previously validated, now showing as invalid?
Because your local item cache is cleared with every patch. Invalid items are ones that you have not yet seen in game somewhere since the last patch.
When ever I try to use I get no names in list can cursor over and get name but not in list.
Tryed turning off all mods except itemsync same thing.
Dropdown issues in search and Ace2 problems. Please note that you always must keep an updated version of Ace2 for ANY Ace2 addons to work properly. The errors that some people are getting via the Search Panel is not directly linked to ItemSync since it's an Ace2 error. However it's sooo easy to fix.
ItemSync is kept updated on the SVN for Ace2. All Ace2 addons can be found on the updater. To remedy the problem your having, first download the WOWAceUpdater found here. [URL=http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WinAceUpdater]http://www.wowace.com/wiki/WinAceUpdater/URL. Once you have it installed run it and click on ItemSync. Then press F12 or "Update with Externals" whichever you prefer.
Ace2 has to be updated in order to repair this issue. It's not directly linked to ItemSync.
To make things easier if you like you can download Ace2 externally as well. Just click on the checkbox nect to Ace2 and download with externals as well.
There appears to be a problem with atlasloot and itemsync running together that prevents other addons from being able to move their data from temp variables to their saved variables at PLAYER_LOGOUT such as gatherer. If you'd like to talk you can find me in #norganna on freenode as Cera, PM me if you have a registered nick.
For the latest version (2.1 compatible), head to http://files.wowace.com :)
ItemSync will conflit with lastest Rating Buster and SCT, desabling ItemSync fix the problems.
This mod need an update to work correctly under WoW 2.1.
This addon doesnt work for me in 2.1. The database is empty and each time i log on it forgot all settings and reset to default. Database is also cleared all the time, doesnt seem it even saves anything atm.
Ok, I am not sure which is causing this, but 2 of the addons I use are SCT and ItemSync, but in 2.1, When both of them are enabled, only ItemSync seems to work, the only way I can get SCT to work is to have ItemSync disabled. They both used to work fine with no problems like this so I am not sure why it is doing this. Will post on both addon comments. Any ideas?
@oz2555 Thottbot is far from my friend especialy with a FR client. My purpose is to find easily where I already saw an item IG not to look into a database via my browser...
Hi Derkyle.
I already told you: Great work, I LOVE ItemSync.
But let me suggest a little, but in my opinion neccessary improvement: I have also integrated your large database with nearly 60000 Items, but I'm not able to validate them. I have validated about 3000 Items and everytime I click validate all I get disconnected immediately. Is it possible to automatically quarantine those items which cause the disconnect? Maybe mark each item as quarantined before validating and only recover it, if the validation was successful, so the disconnect will only happen once. But then you should add a possibility to view the quarantined items (like you did it with the invalid items). I don't think this feature is much work, but it's up to you. :-)
yeahimdukenukem-
This is already done by the WoW client itself. Each time you try to validate an invalid item, you are disconnected. Your client keeps track of this temporarily (until your local item cache is cleared) so that the next time you query the server for this item's link, you will not get disconnected, but you will also not get the link.
Unfortunately, you can only determine that one item is invalid at a time, so you might have to disconnect 3000 times before you could validate all items without being disconnected.
@PAPYFROG Thottbot is your friend. So are the channels sometimes. ^_^ That feature more than likely wouldn't even work the way you intend, since if you're interested in vendor items a lot of them are sold on multiple vendors. Mods are there to make our lives easier, but really even some things are overdoing it...
@Derkyle No longer having an invalid item problem all the time and other versions of certain items now show in yellow. BUT... for some reason, some items are duplicated with the second having a yellow arrow. EX: Thug Shirt, Totem of Impact - but the tooltips for those are the exact same. I have that for The Eye of Zuldazar, but I have two versions of the eye... just wondering about that.
@Derkyle Sorry for my late answer but I was waiting answer earlier then I forget about my post. Lootlink and KC_Items do not have this function and I don't use those addons anymore. I want to be clear again. My purpose is to be able to buy the item again if I want to. Let's take a simple example with a hunt and fruit. If my pet is a meat lover and I change my pet to a fruit lover, I will have to look for a fruit vendor. It is not always easy to remember who is seelling fruits in the nearest area. An other example is to remember where I saw this nice looking sword. If I remember the name I can find it in my ItemSync database but I still don't know where I saw it. Is it from a vendor, a player I scanned or at the AH??? So it really matters to know where I can find again this item for my main character or for my reroll. It will be great if you can add this feature.
Thanks
Whenever this add is activated, each time i view a linked item that same item is re-appearing when mouse moves accross autobar and taskbar slots. i Allways liked this add, but this extra "feature" i dont like and have disabled the add. When there is an update of this add i try again, but ever update throws me the same item view windows over and over again.
If this mod never adds items to its database (from chat, auctionhouse, links, etc), there seem to be a few mods that are blocking its function. So far i have found clearfont2, mrplow, sct(scrolling combat text), and simpleminimap will do this. All these mods, in addition to yours, are ace2 Lootlink doesnt seem to have this problem.
edit: updating to the newest versions from http://files.wowace.com/ seems to have fixed this.
"Major Update: Kirson has repaired the issue with items have zero stats." I just did a fresh install of ItemSync and ItemSyncDB and I still have items with zero stats. :(
Greetings. I've just started using it, and this seems to be an excellent mod. :) I'm just curious about a detail. What is the use of the small rectangular box that comes with the mod, other than to tab the mod's actual display window and show how many items are in the database? Also, is there an option somewhere, chat command or menu driven, to hide this box? It seems redundant considering the minimap button... and being a mod junkie I have a billion things on my screen already. ^_^
Again, kudos on a really nice mod.
@PAPYFROG: It's a great idea but does Lootlink have this? Does KC_Items have this? Neither of them have this and yet somehow ItemSync is useless without it. I will look into adding that feature but does it really matter where the item was picked up? So long as you have it?
I still think that the best feature to add will be where the item was detected (vendor with localization, chat, wisp, Atlasloot). Then Itemsync will become a really important addon. Without that it is not something to have sorry.
