Old enough to know better, young enough to not care

Upcoming version of UberInventory

Over the time we have received requests from users that they would really like to be able to search across multiple characters, guildbanks or all the data that has been collected.

Within version 1.3/1.4 of UberInventory we started to make some of the necessary changes to the way we build up the user interface filters and how they are linked back to the data structures used for storing information on items. Over the last couple of days we have been working on making the modifications necessary to also make it happen from a coding point of view.

The new location filter will look as follows
UBI Location filter

All items – Combination of all characters and all guildbanks, including the current character

Maymayhem – My current logged in character, will display items from all locations
  Bag – Show items stored in the bags of the current logged in character
  Bank – Show banked items of the current logged in character
  Keyring – Show items stored in the keyring of the current logged in character
  Mailbox – Show items stored in the mailbox of the current logged in character
  Equipped – Show equipped items of the current logged in character

All Guildbanks – All guildbanks combined
  The Mystics – Items stored in The Mystics guild bank
  Wolf Pack – Items stored in the Wolf Pack guild bank

All Characters – All characters combined, including the current logged in character
  Drexore – Items from the Drexore character
  Galure – Items from the Galure character
  etc.

This preview demonstrates the new functionality within the UberInventory interface

At the moment there are still some issues that need to be tackled;
- Show correct cash totals when selecting combi items (All items, All Guildbanks and All Characters)
- Display proper info within tooltips
- Do some in-game testing
- Warn if there are 50 messages stored in the mailbox. WoW only show 50 mails even if you have more mails waiting.

We are making good progress and are hoping to be able to provide you all with a new version of UberInventory before Christmas.

The new version will also contain an updated version of the static data for prices and recipe data, and now contains information on book related items (like Gift of the Wild).
