MrPlow
Regain that wasted space!
MrPlow is a fast and simple inventory sorter. Designed generally for Onebag style setups where it treats all bags as a single one, it will sort all the items in your inventory, bank or guild bank into item groups and types.
Could those who are having looping issues with the inventory sorting, and are willing to do a bit of debugging to help find the cause, post a ticket here with all the items that are being swapped around with? It's important to list all the items in that group, because the sorting algorithm has a few levels, and the reason it's looping is that the items are matching to the same comparison at different levels, so there ends up being conflicts in the order, depending on which gets compared first. I'll take those items, and give you a line to insert into the code so it'll output exactly how each of the items are being compared/sorted to one another, and from there we can debug where it's making the mistake.

So... uh. Yeah.
A year after the latest release, MrPlow is back. I went through the effort to kinda pimp him up a bit. He will work a lot faster (and without AceTimer/Event). I'd like some feedback on how it deals with special bags, currently it won't group them up well if you have multiple of the same bag, but it will sort within those bags (and consolidate to them all). Also, any suggestions as to the UI would be appreciated.
The commands are as follows:
/mrplow [[g]bank] [stack|defrag|sort|consolidate|theworks]
stack
- Restack all items to fit in the smallest number of slotsdefrag
- Move items to leave all available space at one end of the bagssort
- Sort all inventory items in placeconsolidate
- Move items from the normal bags to special bags if they fittheworks
- Runs Stack->Consolidate->Defrag->Sort->Stack
this comes out to:
Normal bags
/mrplow stack
/mrplow defrag
/mrplow sort
/mrplow consolidate
/mrplow theworks
Your bank:
/mrplow bank stack
/mrplow bank defrag
/mrplow bank sort
/mrplow bank consolidate
/mrplow bank theworks
Guild bank (No special bags to consolidate with):
/mrplow gbank stack
/mrplow gbank defrag
/mrplow gbank sort
/mrplow gbank theworks
And, if anything goes wrong, and MrPlow appears to be swapping items forever:
/mrplow stop
will apply the emergency brakes.
(/mp
is also a shortcut)
10.2.10 Darkmoon decks are now sorted within each other
10.2.9 - Adjusted guildbank sorting to not fail so much at the end. Changed special bag detection and consolidation forthwith.
10.2.6 - Added a fix for the Spring Flowers (which don't actually have an official equipslot location... damn them..) and one for those who were getting the null reference.
10.2.5 - Er, this bugfix fixes the sorting issue between chests and robes. Also included are some debug switches to make it a little easier to submit a ticket. Check out the bug ticket if you're having issues and follow the prompts there.
10.2.4 - This bugfix fixes the sorting issue between chests and robes. Temporarily, if you want, use /script MrPlow:Ignore(bag, slot)
to ignore a specific slot. I'll have it shoved into a config ui soon. Personal bags are 0,1,2,3,4 from the backpack, bank is -1,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. Remove the reference to the slot if you want to ignore a bag (MrPlow:Ignore(bag)
). Guildbank stuff is a little more involved for setting the ignore settings. I'll have this all in a ui at some point soon.
10.2.3 - This version fixes the issue in regards to equipment not sorting correctly, along with tradeskill items. This will also fix some of the infinite sort loops that occur in regards to Simple Grinding Stones and others.
10.2.2 - This is a embeds fix for people who want a clean install to actually work. Apologies for the messup on that.
10.2.1 - If you want reversed functionality, hit
/script MrPlow.db.profile.EmptySpace = "Top"
for the moment, until I can get a UI config going. This will set a toggle to affect the normal direction of flow of the addon. Set
/script MrPlow.db.profile.EmptySpace = ""
to undo it.
10.1 has guildbank functionality, please be aware however, that this is not perfect (and I very much doubt it will ever be). The problem with guild banking, is that due to it's shared functionality with other players, the response time for any action is far longer than your personal inventory/bank.
Thus, applying the normal speeds to the operation results in a hozillion spammed attempts at moving items. It all sounds very pretty, but is less than effective, as it attempts to move stuff, checks the order, tries to move it again, checks the order, etc etc repeat til you hear a ringing sound in your ears.
I have access to all of my guilds bank tabs but I only want to sort one of them and I'm a bit scared that it would perhaps try to sort all the tabs and mess up other peoples preferred item ordering.
Did you just take out the specialty bag check?
It is listed above for the notes for 10.2.4 ;)
The addon is still working great with 4.0.1. The only glitch are bags that used to be but are no longer specialty bags. Example, the Soul Shard bags. These were converted in regular bags but are still seen by MrPlow as specialty bags.
Well, I'm sure embarrassed. I never noticed the gbank sorting options until you pointed them out to me. Thanks.
I haven't had the time to actively develop on it recently, but the guild bank sorting does work with the latest beta
Is MrPlow still being developed? I'm a long time user and fan and I know it works in 4.01 because I've used it but I'm looking for guild bank sorting. And IIRC there was the promise of interface improvements that haven't materialized.
I do not have an error message, but this appears to not be working with the new shard bags (they are normal bags now)
Is there any easy fix for this?
Thank you.

Trapper's Traveling Pack (http://www.wowhead.com/item=38399), 28 slot leather bag, newest of all leather bags.
It doesn't try to move in leather from normal bags if there is free slots in the leatherworking bag. It does for my mining bags and enchanting bags... but not this bag. Known problem or?
Thanks for a really nice addon :)
