[IDEA] Transmog 2.0 - Unlimited items collection

[Yehonal]

I write this idea here as a reminder for the future.

The idea is to collect information about ALL the items collected during the game and use the subset of those transmogrifable items within the transmog NPC thus having unlimited transmog possibility (such as in retail). It also means that you don't have to keep the item in your bags/bank then.

Requirements:

• CORE change: historical data of all items collected, and the quantity (to integrate within the core), we can extend/reuse the current system that stores the deleted items in order to use the information we have there.

• Module Change: the possibility for the transmog NPC to search within the list of the items you have and also of the items you deleted, and use the transmogrifable items (such as the collection feature in retail) with the following limitation: Binds on Equip items that have not been equipped, can't be transmogrified. This should be a configurable option with an table to activate/deactivate this feature per player. The configuration should support the following options: 1. deactivated, 2. enabled for all, 3. enabled for specific characters (using a table)

Is anyone interested in developing this?

This is a plug-in shared by someone on the model-changing.net channel today, corresponding to the legion transformation function


See if it helps to develop a new transmog module

Has anyone start on developing this yet? If no, I will start the work. This will be my first AC module so I could be slow but will figure it out! I have already create some very basic AddOn to track collected items and show tooltip for "New Appearance" if equipment is not yet collect.

Hi! no one started it yet, however, we should provide an addon but also a way to use this feature with a NPC (when the addon is not available). I can guide you in it, you can contact me on discord if you like: Yehonal#4265

[ZhengPeiRu21]

I have created PR that is implementing this feature. Please see: #72

[Helias]

Can we close this considering #72 ?

[Yehonal]

There's a very important feature missing. Since we can have thousands of items, is not feasible to use a simple pagination. Without that feature I wouldn't close it

Pagination can be done with gossips but I think it'd really be so much better if we instead took the route taken in Rochete's transmog vendor.

[Yehonal]

Searchbox + vendor views is the solution imho

I implemented a Searchbox in #93. I do not think vendor view is possible with the collection system because there is no way to populate vendor different per player (this might be possible with core changes, but could not be done right now as a module.) There may be some way I do not know about, though!

This is how I handled it 3 years ago to implement an unlimited bank. Reading items from a table and then showing them in a vendor view by using this trick: https://github.com/AzerothShard/azerothshard-core/blob/7f09d76a35794ae9302d6e421493cbe5ed516092/modules/DonationsVendor/src/scripts/ItemToSell.cpp#L70

In a nutshell, I populate the opcode SMSG_LIST_INVENTORY with data by faking a vendor, then here: https://github.com/AzerothShard/azerothshard-core/blob/development/modules/DonationsVendor/src/scripts/DonationsVendor.cpp#L338 I handle what should happen during the buying.

Let me know if you need any further clarifications

note for my self: I should import those modules sooner or later, I spent a life on them

Thank you so much to share, this is a very interesting trick! When I am able to find the time I will give it a try to implement it this way.
