Easy Space Maker - A Robust Junk Removal Tool!

I created Easy Space Maker (ESM) because I wasn't satisfied with the existing tools for managing your bags when looting with a full inventory! There are other addons that do similar things, many of which are much more lightweight, but I wanted a more feature rich version of those tools for myself. When I showed my friends they told me I should upload the addon to Curse and were very supportive.

The main purpose of this addon is to reduce downtime when your inventory fills up, especially in the early game when bag management is much more critical because... well... you don't have any bags really, haha XD

When your inventory is full, six separate icons will appear next to the loot window. Each icon represents a different category of items:

• Lowest overall value item
• Lowest value junk-quality item
• Lowest value equipment item
• Lowest value food/drink item
• Lowest value crafting material
• Lowest value item that doesn't fall into any of the above categories

This gives you several options right at a glance to quickly throw something out that could be lower value than what you are looting, allowing you to quickly free up space and get back to playing! Gold income and bag space are important! I have also included options for it to work with Auctionator so you can easily see the Auctionator values. I have also laid the foundation for it to display TSM values but until TSM has been released (if/when) I can't confirm it truly functions since TSM is not available for testing in the forever beta.

In addition, there are several protection features in place! You can right-click an item on any of those icons to add it to your session protection list, preventing it from being suggested again until you reload or log out. Later, you can open the full protection list, easily see which items you temporarily protected during the current session, and decide whether you want to add them to your permanent protection list. Temporarily added items always show up at the top of your protect list and are highlighted in blue to make them easy to distinguish!

Customization was one of my biggest priorities when developing this addon. I'm a firm believer that being able to tailor your experience to your own preferences is important! I highly recommend exploring the available options to find what works best for you. My goal is to help reduce the downtime caused by a full inventory so you can get right back into the meat of WoW Forever that much faster!

AI DISCLAIMER: I built this addon with the help of ChatGPT. No generative AI artwork or assets were used. ChatGPT was used to help bring my idea to life through the coding and development process guided by my instruction and vision.

I'm not a Lua programmer. I have some experience dabbling in languages like GML and working with Unreal Engine, but Lua isn't a language I'm familiar with. Because of that, I used ChatGPT to help me write and develop the addon and before posting here I performed an optimization pass to make sure it was at a quality I felt comfortable with.

EDIT: Reposted because I realized that the images didn't display, sorry about that! I'm a reddit noob.
