I cannot download and use total RP 3 for a variety of reasons, so I need to ask you all. Could you please explain these two highlights of total RP 3?
"
- Place items on the ground to get them back later or place them in stashes that other players will be able to find and open.
- Total RP 3: Extended gives you a brand new RP inventory to place items on your character visually. People with Total RP 3: Extend will be able to see the items you are wearing and you can inspect them too."
This is on the description page. I canāt see how this is possible to have an addon on the ground, or visualized on your character in the game world. Iāve checked out YouTube videos and otherwise and cannot seem to find any details or visuals about this.
Could anyone describe or point me to a place that could explain or visualize these features?
So itās kinda cool! I used TRP 3 when this was first coming out, so I sadly cannot speak for all the new features. But seeing what you listed has me excited to try it again :).
Basically I can create an item with a icon, it can have a description, I believe it could be my own book too. But I am able to trade it to other players i believe. Correct me if I am wrong.
So like I could say Ughash fanfic about him and Garrosh and trade it to you 
This also sets up for making quests for you and your RP friends to go do too.

Itās hard to explain, but basically you get a ābagā where you can store āitemsā created by someone with the addon. When you create these items you can trade them with anyone who has TRP, these items can have workflows in order to perform simple actions (such as forcing your character to say or perform an emote, showing a cast bar, destroying TRP items, etc). Keep in mind these are not normal WoW items, they only exist through the addon and cannot affect your gameplay other than forcing your character to emote or say something.
Regarding stashes, the addon allows you to āstoreā your TRP items in the world. It works as if you stored them in invisible chests, you can only access them if you know where they are stored or if you keep them unhidden and you search for them using a button on your regular WoW map.
I hope this makes sense, itās very hard to explain if you have never used them, if you have more questions please tell me. 
Oh ok by storing items visually it just means icons within a UI then; makes sense. Wasnāt sure if it was something crazy like a 2d imagine over your 3d character lol.
But this stashes thing as you put it fascinates me. Invisible chests? Does the code just look at map coordinates or can you put it in a specific level in the 3d world or something? Iād love to see and learn more about this. Might even try to make my own addon that can do something like that!
I donāt know exactly how it works, but it uses the addonās interface to store items near your characterās location, if you leave these items unhidden anyone else with the addon can see that you stored them there and can loot your items

Yeah thatās exciting stuff and exactly what Iād like to know - does anyone know how this actually appears?

Beautiful thanks - though is thatā¦already placed? It looks like youāre about to place it there? Iām curious how it looks once youāve picked it up lol
Thats the dropdown that lets you search for if someone else placed a cache there, as well as to make one at that spot.
I did already create one at that spot to show an example of one already placed there, and the window is the interface that shows up when you open a cache (whether it is one you placed or someone elses)

This is indeed fascinating. So as you approach that spot where you can access drop down you donāt see anything else besides something on your map? No in-world raid markers or anything?
In that case, what of my previous question - will this work on, say, the middle floor of a building? Or will it always land on the top or bottom (if you place it using your map)
There may be a setting to have them display on the map, but as far as Iāve seen there isnāt a visual indicator, itās more like a ātreasure huntā , if someone stands within 15 yards of where one is and uses the āsearch for players stashesā from that dropdown, any non-hidden ones will show up like that āyour stashes within 15 yardsā and can be opened after
And it doesnāt appear to take the height into account, using it from the ground floor will show it same as from the in the sky above, as long as the x,y is within 15 yards

Gooootcha, thatās really what I wanted to know, thanks much! Man you know thatās sort of sad in a way but in another way, maybe they really broke some technical ground here? It would be awesome to see that idea developed. Not sure how far you could push it but I can definitely see the potential in it. Maybe if I suddenly find myself with time in the future Iāll take a crack at itā¦ Anywho thanks again!

Anytime, though I do have one more bit (I havenāt used stashes a whole lot, so I was looking at it more since another had mentioned a button on the map) but it does have a button there that shows your own caches even if further away when scanned from the map (doesnāt show on map otherwise, and goes away on map close), the scan for player stashes might be further there too (such as hidden ones only show if doing the search within 15 feet, but non-hidden ones show on the map search)
But one more example picture:

Ohhh man, thatās MUCH better! I get the impression youāre not sure it would do that for other players (if they enable it or what not)? That could have a huge amount of use right there already if so.
(is it cool to just copy and paste chunks of other peopleās Add-ons into ones you just make for your guild? Was considering that lol)
I know the within 15 yard scanning does, Iāve never used the map scan before, so Iām not sure how exactly that one works (such as if it works like I guessed there, or if it still is within 15 yards but can scan from the map instead of the TRP window)
As to the other bit, it is always good to lookup the license of the mod and what it entails, but āusuallyā if it isnāt posted publicly and is just for personal or within small group like a guild but isnāt posted online anywhere it is accepted, and always credit the author of the code

Hereās hoping it has that functionality then, and beautiful thanks for the tip - wasnāt sure how things worked in the addon world. I think this has sufficiently inspired me to try some things in said world for the first timeā¦ Greatly appreciated!
