Purpose

The goal is to spend less time mindlessly clicking to equip a set (digging jewel set, or HA, or ...), and to move them. You group any equippable items of your choice under a common name (e.g "digging_jewel", "fight_jewel", "pvp_armor" ...), and you can then equip / move them with a simple click.

Basics

You can create a group by typing /createGroup group_name. This will take all currently equiped items (jewels, armor and hands items), and put them in a group "group_name". You can then equip / move this group by right clicking any item from the group and navigating through the "group" submenu. Note that moving a group to an inventory will pull items from all availables inventory to the destination inventory (if the group is moved to mektoub 4, items from the group in your bag and in mektoub 1 will be moved).

Equipping a group will equip items from all possible items (so from your bag, and your mektoubs/room if available) ; items that are equipped cannot be moved.

You can list existing groups by typing /listGroup, and remove a group by typing /deleteGroup group_name. You can also get completely naked (remove everything worn, including jewels) by typing /naked

Removing items before switching groups

Sometimes when you equip a group, you want to equip new items, but you also want to remove some items (for example, if you switch to a LA, you probably want to remove your helmet, in case you were in HA before). To do that, there is two option :
1) you'll need to manually edit the groups_charname.xml (in your save folder) file, and add a line like this to your group :

<remove slot="Head" />


2) At the creation of the group, use /createGroup group_name true. This will create a group like before, but for every slot with no equipped item, a matching <remove /> will be created.

I cannot move stuff from / to my guild !

By default, guild movement is disabled. You can activate it by placing the following line in your client.cfg (not client_default.cfg) :
ItemGroupAllowGuild = 1;

Using group commands in macro

If you want to use groups in a macro, they are in the "action" category (names are "equip an item group" / "move an item group").

Moving / equipping through commands

If you don't like using the right click menu to move / equip item groups, you can also use the following commands :
* /moveGroup GROUP_NAME DESTINATION_INVENTORY (DESTINATION_INVENTORY can be either bag, pet_animal1, pet_animal2, pet_animal3, pet_animal4, player_room, or guild (names are self explanatory))
* /equipGroup GROUP_NAME

For those that find pics an aid ....

1.  Equip Dig Jools, LA and Pick

2.  Create Group Named "Dig" (Focus Gear and Pick)

/createGroup Dig

BTW, if you copy / pasting the command from Lopy's post, don't do what I and many others did.

Wrong = /createGroup group_name ==> /createGroup group_Dig
Right = /createGroup group_name ==> /createGroup Dig

3.  See Pic



I had to log out / log in to force save of xml file (or, maybe macro file) to get macro to work.

I used NotePad++ to manually edit the xml file

c'est super cool ça !

sacrément utile!

Merci ! :)

Do you need the client and the xml stuff from the Dev topic for this?

(doesn't seem to be live, atleast on my client(steam) it says unknowncommand)

Steam client is late behind update, not much I can do about that (but you can switch to a regular client by sending a ticket to support asking to migrate your account).

No, you don't need the stuff from the dev topic, I removed them to remove the confusion :)

hmm, seems i am in luck then, i grabbed the glorf client and the xml's before you removed them then since it seemed to work fine.

i opened the glorf client and it started updating ryzom, after that i launched ryzom through steam, it used the 'ryzom_client_r.exe' but item groups works fine, the only thing that now fails is the steam auto login of ryzom, but i can just enter my pass its only a minor detour.
i guess i should avoid steams verify content since it will revert the update.

itemgroup works great :)

See this post for more informations on beta client

I have not tried the above, but i did fix it for myself rather easily:

Removed: .../Ryzom/Unpack <--
launched: ryzom_client_patcher.exe <--started patching something
launched: ryzom_client_glorf.exe <-- not sure if this helped

Its only for Windows+Linux?

@Agan: I wouldn't touch macOS patching with a ten-foot pole, the system is just horrible to modify. The official patch will be available for macOS sometimes tho :)


@Magez:
Well, unless you use the ryzom_client_glorf.exe to play, launching it once won't chage much :)

Merci.

i use "ryzom_client_r.exe" at desktop shortcut and the equiping works fine after i did the glorf thing once though.

like i said i have no idea if the glorf client did anything to fix it, but the re-patching sure did then.
