Any idea whether you guys will release a new inventory arranger? The one that's out now is very tedious for folks with large inventories. I currently have nearly 11k items, and i know some folks have more. It's almost impossible to use with so many items.

Also, in the meantime, can we have the list view back? as well as the ability to sort by layer?


Sorry I know that the re-design had been pushed back due to lack of resources, but we will have a re-design when we get a chance to.

Lanzer, have you had the chance to look into the very very very old inventory organizer's issue with not showing item pictures that are newer than a couple years ago?


I haven't yet, please provide me with any items that is not working for you.


It's EVERY item created after sometime around april 2018.


Sorry let me be more specific. Please provide an item name or item id, then I wouldn't need to start with start by looking through past item schedules, filter by item type, etc. The faster I can troubleshoot, the faster I can fix a bug. Thanks.

Any chance you could add an option to the market to only display items we already own? This would give us an easy way to view our items sorted by value, since market results already have that functionality built in. An option to only see items we don't already own would be nice as well.


We can have filters for filtering out or displaying items you own.

opening rigs

Is there a way you guys can make it so that the boxes don't shift so much each time you open them?
And also not refresh the page each time? Saw someone post this in CB the other day
and thought I might bring it up, since opening an abundance of rigs at once can get tedious with the constant refreshes and moving boxes!


Hmm, we can make a sorting option that will only display the most recent 1000 items you owned, then that should make things a lot faster. The trick here is that we can't sort all your items at once because some Gaians have over 80,000 items that sorting will take a long time, but that's something we can add real quick. Let me know if that'll help and I'll add to the to-do list.

I think we can add some Javascript on the page to refresh without reloading the page. Will need to do some digging as that part of the code is pretty old.

Avatar Dress Up/Features
Hello! I was wondering if there has been any progress made in the issue I brought up two weeks ago about some items not able to be searched in the inventory or avatar dress up, through any of their tags.
Here's the thread just as a reminder.
>> Went through some of the Q's and noticed Pandy Belle-chan's question about searching for paw items, and I think my question goes in tandem with this?


I remember working on this issue and it's an odd problem where some search weren't working correctly. I'll spend more time on it this week and have it fixed for good.

is it possible to add a feature where you can sort your inventory by each items wealth!!?!!?


We had this function in testing, haven't released for wide release as it was super slow for Gaians with more than 20,000 items.

Maybe we'll have it available when item count is below that.

Features: Inventory Arranger

Hello, I have been having this issue for a while. When trying to drag an item from the Temporary Storage to the inventory, the item will 'deselect', but if 'selected' can't be dragged properly, and if dragged and placed will result in a 'deselect' followed by inadvertently clicking the item to view its Marketplace states.

I am able to drag, drop, and copy just fine outside of this feature using other things such as forums, wordpad, videos etc.


Gaia's Inventory arranger does not support select/deselect for moving multiple items at one time. You will need to drag one item at a time.

Items / Features

I was wondering if there might be a new feature similar to the Go Fusion or bug/dye system where you could trade in a number of "junk" items for a new item. A way to reduce the amount of "junk" items floating around. For example the eyeball, block, emote items and others that are generated daily and are unsellable/worth nothing.
It wouldn't be a fancy item, possibly just a recolor in current color schemes. (Like a demure eyeball) And it would cut down on inventory clutter and reduce the number of items people trash and would also clear up MP listings.


That's a potential feature we can add to alchemy. We can have event mechanic do that too. We currently don't have this planned though.

Features: Inventory Arranger
Sorry, I was not clear enough in my pre-event posting; I was not referring to 'stacked' items I was referring to individual items and multiple selected items.

I am stating that when trying to drag items from the Temporary Storage to the main Inventory these items will deselect at random,- which means I need to try and 'click--hold--and_drag' them to the inventory again.

The feature has always allowed multiple items to be dragged and dropped anywhere within the inventory.

"Arrange your inventory by dragging the thumbnails!"

To select multiple items
Shift/Ctrl + Click desired thumbnails

To split a stack (multiple of same item)
Alt + Click desired thumbnails


Apologies for the misunderstanding. We do start some testing today and see why it haven't been working for you. We did added some UI libraries recently and it might be in conflict with what we currently have

Persona Inventory
Are there plans for a way to view what's actively in the Persona Inventory? Ideally I wish it would still appear in the main inventory similar to how "currently equipped" icons stand out, but with something like a mask silhouette over the center to flag it as "equipped on Persona". That way it would be identifiable as well as still searchable in your main inventory. I'd love it you could still use them in Dress Up [aka design avatars knowing your full inventory range] even if you couldn't wear it while the Persona is using some of the items.


That is an interesting idea! We will make sure to pass this along to the Developers!

Question Category: Features

I couldn't access the OLD OLD OLD OLD Inventory Arranger. There's a pop-up saying that I am not logged in, and it won't accept the fact that I'm actually logged in (something about transmitting failure).

I know the day would come when Flash goes away (I still have frozen Aquarium items I need to get rid of, but anyway-), does that mean the old arranger is officially dead? User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


I didn't know that the old arranger isn't working. I'll look into it and hopefully it'll be a easy fix. If the current arranger cannot move frozen aquarium items then I should be fixing that too.

Inventory - Alternate Method

Thank you for reading my post today!

I follow ATS fairly regularly, especially about the long term problem that is Inventories. The two most commonly asked for features are a. a bugfix of the shuffling bug, and b. the locate by price/unlisted function.

While there is no easy answer for the shuffling, you've tried several times to fix it and any major fixes could destroy everyone's precious organization, I have a recommendation for the other option.
The major problem of pricing inventories/finding unlisted items in inventories, seems to be how -massive- inventories have gotten. Users with inventories 50k+ are decently common, with how slow it is to sell items. Multiple times you've talked about features for users with tiny inventories, 10-15k max.

Compromise:
Like we have Storage Box, and a Temporary Box, we should have a Market box on the sidebar. This Market box could hold a maximum of 600 items, likely less to not overload the system, and could have a button that says 'sort', sorting items by price, or by if there are any listings for that item currently. Users would have to put items into organize in the box, but would take away the problem of inventories being massive and slowing/clogging the system with requests. Don't sort the whole inventory, just a little of it.

Reasoning:
While people are curious about their whole inventory worth, that's not why everyone asks for the feature. What the vast majority of people want is simply to tell 'What can I sell for the most profit -right now-?' or 'What isn't listed so I can make a profit from it?'. It's about usage of the marketplace and obtaining more items. Just a small box that sorts for the user when the user adds items to it would solve the problem, without you having to make the whole system handle a billion requests for inventories of truly massive size. This would make it obtainable and make many users happy, as well as improve the marketplace.

Thank you for your time with this. I think this would be easier than tackling the whole system at once. As faster return with less work and less danger of instability.


I have a new idea on how we can re-order and rid of the re-order issue. Please hang tight and we'll update the system ASAP. sweatdrop

Features:

Can we have the option to sell those Raffle Time Tickets from Loyal's back to the Gold Shops? Because if someone bought say 500 of those tickets and didn't win the prize - being able to sell back those tickets for half the price would be perfect.
Especially since the item (if ever sold in the MP) from those tickets would probably cost way more than the tickets being sold back to the Gold Shops.


Adding a sellback to the tickets would defeat the purpose of the gold sink. If someone doesn't want the tickets in their inventory, they can trash them!

[in follow-up to the post on March 10th]
I'm happy to hear you have thoughts on the shuffle issue, it's what I follow the most when you talk technically about what the constraints are! What does the 'reordering' exactly entail, even vaguely? That only dealt with the first part of my post.


Currently every item has a sort order number, and this number is re-sorted every time an item is moved. The current code handles a lot of the sorting on the client side, but the client typically only have the current page's inventory and sort numbers handy, and trying to sync between client and server is where the code started introducing problems, especially now that we have global stacking options.

Any future changes will make all the calculations on the server end to prevent any type of syncing issues.

DarkRybrin
The second part:
Like there's a Storage Box, could there be a 'Market box' - It's function would be to specifically sort anywhere from 100-600 items by current lowest price. You've stated multiple times it's large inventories that are the problem, but what if you only asked the system to sort a small selection of items at once? Then large inventories couldn't crash or make too many requests at once.

Thank you for your time in addressing this!


Implementing sorting on either temp storage or a new storage box is definitely possible. Will just need to implement all the UI that goes along with it. We will add this task to the todo list.

inventory
would you consider adding a radio button so that users can toggle between the old nav bar for inventory and the new one
the feature exists for displaying aquariums, footers, gold or plat , and many other features. and im just wondering why it wasnt offered as an option when the new inventory navbar was made.
there were a handful of unhappy users about the new inventory navbar and this could fix those issues for them


We are going to add more tabs soon and keeping the old tab system is going to be a problem specifically for that. I will ask the team about this or potential alternatives.

Probably about two weeks ago, maybe more, I noticed during one of my trades that the second inventory we all have doesn't stack properly anymore. So my question is: would that be able to be fixed in the near future so that stacking is now back?


We will look into the issue and have it fixed ASAP.

Still wondering about if the search bar is gonna happen for the lockers and temp storage section?


It's in our todo list, though there are a couple of pressing bugs that still need to be fixed before we can work on the todo list.

Typical Logic
Feature?

This is my first time ever asking a question!

So I arrange my inventory with the old inventory arranger.
Some items cannot be seen when I'm organizing.
It's only the new items.

Is there a way to fix this in the OLD inventory arranger?

I don't like the new one because it moves things around that I don't move.
It essentially undos what I do, even though I save.
I've attached an image to show what it looks like.

Sorry for the bugs in the current inventory system. We will be performing an overhaul of the system soon to fix the rearranging issue.

Can we please have a feature in Inventory where we can sort the inventory by the items with highest to lowest quantity owned?

When I am cleaning out inventory, I usually want to get rid of duplicates I have. So being able to see which items I have most copies of first helps this process a lot.


Hmm, I'll add this to the to-do list, should not be hard when we have additional sorting functions.
