Skinventory

A Guild Wars 2 addon for Raidcore Nexus that helps you track, browse, and collect armor and weapon skins across your account.

Currently in pre-release testing.

AI Notice

This addon has been 100% created in Windsurf using Claude. I understand that some folks have a moral, financial or political objection to creating software using an LLM. I just wanted to make a useful tool for the GW2 community, and this was the only way I could do it.

If an LLM creating software upsets you, then perhaps this repo isn't for you. Move on, and enjoy your day.

Features

• Skin browser — browse all armor and weapon skins by category, weight class, and slot
• Ownership tracking — integrates with Hoard & Seek to show owned/unowned status with a per-category progress bar
• Wiki integration — click any skin to see its wiki image, acquisition source, set info, and vendor details
• Shopping list — shows the cheapest unowned skins sorted by price, from both the Trading Post and vendors
• Vendor support — cultural armor and karma vendor prices with vendor name, location, and clickable waypoint chat links
• Source filtering — filter the shopping list by TP, Vendor, Armor, or Weapons
• Rarity colors — skin names colored by rarity throughout the UI
• Coin icons — GW2-style gold/silver/copper coin display

Building

Prerequisites

• CMake 3.20+
• MinGW cross-compiler (x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc, x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++)

Setup

Download dependencies (ImGui and nlohmann/json):

chmod +x scripts/setup.sh
./scripts/setup.sh

Build

mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../toolchain-mingw64.cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

The output Skinventory.dll can be placed in your Nexus addons folder.

Installation

1. Install Raidcore Nexus
2. Install Hoard & Seek (required for owned skin tracking)
3. Copy Skinventory.dll to your Nexus addons directory
4. In-game, press Ctrl+Shift+K to open the Skinventory window

Cache Files

Skinventory caches data locally for performance. These files are created in the addon's data directory:

File	Purpose
skin_cache.json	All skin metadata from the GW2 API
item_map.json	Skin-to-item ID mapping
vendor_prices.json	Cultural armor vendor prices
wiki_data.json	Wiki-scraped acquisition and vendor info
wiki_cache/	Downloaded wiki images

Delete any of these files to force a re-fetch of that data.
