[insert question that only tangentially involved the Old Inventory Arranger]


Unfortunately we will be removing that old arranger once we have the new one up.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving ^^

Misc:
Recently, users discovered that wing stickers, orbs, and shadow orbs were no longer soul bound. Was this intentionally done or is it a bug? There's been some confusion regarding it.


Sorry there should have been some messages regarding the changes.

The items are still soul bound and cannot be traded to others. The change is that you can now delete soul bound items in your inventory.

I got a feature like this on beta. Just need to figure out how to not blow away your existing sorting order when using these sorting functions.

Items:

Is it possible to add another "tiny thumbnail" to items which recently got "unsoulbinded" for trashing, but which are still "soulbinded" for trading? For example, the daily wings. It's really annoying filling an entire trade only to be told "you cannot send one of the item" without any notice before that... If thumbnail is too much, at least changing the trade to preventing that?


That makes sense, I'll look into which option works best.

Will there ever be better ways to manage and organize our items? Inventories build up and clutter very quickly on Gaia. People amass collections in the hundreds and thousands, but it's a bit daunting trying to get around your inventory. Would we ever be able to create custom categories to sort things around how we want? Or even item galleries where we put collections on display for other Gaians to look at, but they're separated from our inventory so as to not get lost or mixed up with anything else.

Sorry for long question. sweatdrop


Yes! We've been working on something, but I've gotten behind on my part of things. Hoping to catch up over the holidays. Stay tuned.

Organizing your inventory problem.

I tried to organize my inventory, and all the new items jumbles. Would it fix it if the ALL tab was removed?

AFTER SAVING

I've been waiting for several months to organize my inventory because of this and several other problems. last i heard the problem should be fixed with new app *computery stuff here*, being transferred over to the standard site.

any idea when we will see any of this happening?


After the secure server roll out I'll take a look into the inventory system again. Sorry for the trouble.

The frozen and soulbound icons are still gone from inventory, and the trash and donate buttons still don't work on stacked items in which one item in the stack is frozen. It used to be that the stacking feature didn't combine frozen items into the same stack as non-frozen ones of the same kind, but without the frozen icon the inventory apparently can't distinguish between the two. This has been going on for months now, can you please look into this?


I'll look into it right after the server upgrades are complete. Sorry for the wait.

I was told that the issue of frozen and soulbound icons not appearing in inventory would be dealt with after the secure server is in place. Now that the secure server is finally here, is that still the plan, and if so how soon can I expect it to be fixed?


Yeah I've spent some time looking into that one. Got side tracked with some image related issues but I should have that fixed pretty soon.

There should be an option so see your storage fullscreen, just like your inventory not the tiny rectangular thingy it is now.


I assume you want a full-screen option to be able to see more of your items at a time.
There is a reason for limiting the number of items displayed. The fewer items, the better performance. Can you imagine trying to arrange 20,000 items at once? Yep, some Gaians have that many items! We are working on a new inventory system now that will hopefully make it easier to arrange and sort your inventory.


As long as a can still organize my invo from my ipad with whatever new thing you do for inventory i don’t care what you do with it. Yeah i know i see it in the exchange anlot with the invo sales people do.

No what i meant was an option so see more of the items in your storage rather than main invo. I like keeping my main invo at 1 page because I don’t want to colour organize every oage, but i keep a lot of items in my storage that I don’t use as often but still will, but finding then in a pain in the bloody a** because its not a fuller screen option like the main invo has.

Blarg i wish i could explain what i mean better.


I do test it on the ipad, as well as several android phones every time I update, so you should be fine there. The new system allows you to create custom storage boxes, sort of like folders and files on a laptop.

Is Old Inventory Arranger going to be fixed? Or is it going to be a thing of past now? If it is abandoned can its helpful features be incorporated into new inventory arranger?


If you mean the really really old Inventory Arranger, yeah, it is a thing of the past.

I'm working on a new one at the moment.

What did you find to be helpful in that version?

Aww..I liked that you could type stuff and it would show you items with that word and then you could drag all the items to the location of the top item in one go. In new arranger, even if you are able to search for them all, you never know which page the first item is on and you would have to move them all to a new random location.


The new system uses boxes. At the start, all your stuff is in the unboxed sections. Create custom boxes. Move your stuff there.

What I've been working on (The inventory manager) is almost done. Final testing should be this week, released soon after. The next parts, avatar dress up and shopping will go much faster, because I've made a bunch of parts. Stay tuned!

please make sure to put in an item search for vending, plus a back arrow to instantly get to the last page of your inventory! pressing that forward arrow so many times is a huge battery killer!

and with that, i have to go walk a dog.

Features:

While the new feature allowing people to tag items in our inventories is pretty nice, it's parser seems to have a few bugs. For example, if we write "wisteria" it will be changed to "wisterium"; same thing with "sleeves" which ends up as "slefe" (or something like that). Were you aware of that issue? And if so, once it's fixed, is it possible to have a script going back through items which is going to replace the wrongly tagged items?


This is something that we're aware of! It's being worked on currently.
I don't know if a script like one you've described is possible, but I can certainly pass along the idea to the right person!

I know there has been previous requests for an "Unpack All" button on rigs, but I was wondering if there would be any consideration for getting rid of the "Open" page on rigs instead. This would change unpacking from a two-step process into a one-step and making opening multiple rigs go much faster and smoother.

So instead of: *Rig in inventory* > "Open" > "Play Again" > "Open" > "Play Again"

We'd have: *Rig in inventory* > "Play Again" > "Play Again" > "Play Again"

We will look into smoothing out the experience. There might be a system limitation that forces two clicks.

Tagging system

We still can't tag bundles and open-able items. Lanzer, did you get a chance to look into this?


Hello! Thanks for the inquiry.
As of right now, we've enabled the user-tagging feature for the general items only. Because we have tooooo many items sweatdrop , i wanted to see how data(tagging words) is collected, and then improve the tagging feature itself, before I release it to all. For example, we are still in progress of collecting data of word-conversion such as singular/ plural, commonly misused typos and so on.
I do hope this makes sense to you and hopefully we'll get there sooooon heart

Speaking of the "play again" button. It seems that the play again button no longer works on the cache bags anymore.

Example:
Platinum cache bag > open bag > choose item > click on play again button > Data Validation Error

I was very deeply disappointed to discover that, in the Inventory 2 Beta, all game items are trapped in the Box labeled "game items" and cannot be moved to any other boxes. This pretty much entirely destroys the usefulness of the feature for me; what usefulness is left to it is outweighed by the fact that moving items between boxes in Inventory 2 Beta scrambles their order on the standard Inventory screen.

Is the game item incompatibility an unavoidable limitation of Gaia's inventory system, like how we can't put game items on our wishlist? What would it take to be able to move game items between boxes in Inventory 2?


Game Items are a special type which requires special rules. I made the special game box because of complaints that game items were being mixed into the regular items. How would you like to arrange your game items? The inventory is very new, and I'm open to suggestions.

Question: Is there a way to be able to sell multiple items in our inventory? It's so tedious now to click on each individual item and sell them one by one. I'd just like to be able to chuck all the gumballs, socks, and starter clothing all in one go.

Not to the marketplace, but for the sell back value.


Got it. I can try to put something in the boxed inventory for that. I've set up other things for multiple items.

Are you guys still working on a sort-by-value feature for inventories? Or a way to easily see the values without clicking on them. I see inventory 2 sort-of has something similar, but its really not that useful on desktop. Id like to be able to see what my most expensive items are so I can list them for sale first.


We have the feature built, but I don't want it to ruin your customized item sorting. I can make it work for people with under 10,000 items as a temp solution until I find a better way to optimize listing for large accounts.

I know that we can calculate inventory worth but can we get a feature that shows our most expensive items or atleast like the top 10 or 20?

Tek tek used to have that feature and I think its something people would enjoy/use a lot if it existed again. It makes selling things a lot easier when looking to sell a pricier item when you have a lot of items to sort through.

We will look into having a feature that tells you the worth of a selected list of items in inventory. Probably in the new inventory system.

Inventory Arranger

Will only Inventory 2 Beta be getting improvements moving forward? Or are you still open to improving the old-new inventory arranger we have currently?

[And thanks for fixing Vivid Appalachian Bow!]


Good question. Not sure. What did you have in mind?


Something comparable to the box system in I2 Beta? Or at least something that would let us add private tags (not viewable to all of Gaia) that would help us sort items. It's just so much more convenient for me to see my inventory with the less mobile friendly inventory, so it would be nice to be able to sort somehow.

Forgive for hasty Paint edit... but something like this maybe?

I'm not sure we could add private tags in either system. I'm trying to code it in my head as I type this. The boxes were designed for you to be able to organize by category. I will keep it in mind.
