please make this small change

Hi guys, there was a huge change in WOD which means you no longer need to have the items in your bags to craft them. You can craft items as long as the materials are in your bags or in your bank (or both)

Zygor guides only looks at the items in your bags and doesn't take into account those in your bank.

Could you please add an option for Zygor to add up the items in both your bag and bank in one of your future updates please?

The problem with items in the bank is that an addon can only detect them when you open the bank.
So the only way for the guide to be able to take items in the bank into account would be to store all bank items in a file.
There are specialized addons that do that (Bagnon, Altoholic), maybe it's possible to use their collected data rather than having another addon that scans and stores this whole bunch of data.

Thats correct, theres datastores now.

A standard was added for addons whereby as long as they use the datastores you should be able to get the data.

The only downfall to this is that we prefer to not be using 3rd party addons. If we were to add any functionality for knowing what is in the bank then we would be writing our own code for it from scratch. It's not that we don't trust or like the other addons that do this, it's about reliability and ease of maintenance.

Say we did integrate with Bagnon (for example). This means we'd be endorsing that addon and our customers would be required to use that addon if they wanted to have this functionality. Of course not everyone would want to be limited to Bagnon so we'd then be getting tons of requests to make it work with 'x' and 'y' addons. If we make it work with those addons as well then whenever one of the different addons makes any kind of change (that we have no warning about) it would break the bank tracking and we'd have to stop whatever we're doing to get it fixed. Not only that, these addon authors do not receive any money for their addons which means they can stop maintaining them at any time leaving us to have to remove them from our code. Then you get people take up the addon to do a fan update and we have to add it back in. It's just too much hassle to maintain code for addons we have no control over and that is why we have our own arrow instead of using TomTom and why we have our own Gear Suggestion system instead of using Pawn.
