Guild Inventory is the solution to a guild banker's problems. It scans your guild bank character's bank (of which you may have multiple), and allows others in your guild to see its contents.
V3 - Now facilitates actual guild banks!
IMPORTANT: If nothing else, read the Initial Setup (either mass distribution or in-game) section, as it is crucial to the mod's operation!
Note: this also works for communities formed over several guilds. The difference is that bank data is "advertised" over raid, rather than guild messaging.
Data Transfer
Guild Inventory works by transferring data through (hidden) whispers, so it cannot be intercepted by unintended players. Every few seconds, Guild Inventory broadcasts the list of banks it has data for in the guild and raid (using the addon messages, so nobody will see anything even if they don't have the mod), and how recent the data is. Any other player with the addon that needs said bank data will ask for it, and if the password is correct, will receive it. No data is transmitted without being set up to be - e.g. your main character's inventory will never be sent unless you specifically set up the mod to do so.
Initial Setup - Mass Distribution
For the preferred distribution method, this mod requires an initial setup via modification of the GuildBanks.lua file with a standard text editor (although probably not Notepad, use Wordpad instead). The idea is that the guild or community leader will set the addon up with all the relevant bank details, and then upload it on to their website (or otherwise give it to all guild members).
In this file, you will find the following LUA function (approximately):
function GuildInventory_ResetCustom() GuildInventory_Banks = {}; GuildInventory_Banks["Example1"] = { ["name"] = "Guild Bank: Example 1", ["content"] = {}, ["password"] = "password", ["updated"] = 0; }; GuildInventory_Banks["Example2"] = { ["name"] = "Guild Bank: Example 2", ["content"] = {}, ["password"] = "password", ["updated"] = 0; }; GuildInventory_Banks["Example3"] = { ["name"] = "Guild Bank: Example 3", ["content"] = {}, ["password"] = "password", ["updated"] = 0; }; end
GuildInventory_Banks["Wizar"] = { ["name"] = "Guild: Books & Plans", ["content"] = {}, ["password"] = "****", ["updated"] = 0; };

Hi
We have started to use this addon for our guild (brilliant work on this addon btw). We do have a problem with it though. When we were testing on small scale everything was working fine. Now that we have rolled out to the guild entire when people are transferring files people are being dis-connected from wow. When the transferring dialogue box comes up within a second people are being kicked from the server. I have disabled the mod and have had no d/c, enable and as soon as guild inventory is used by a guild member then I get d/c. Do you have any suggestions for this please? thanks vass..

Ok, I found the problem (and fixed it, I think). When I added a timeout in to the transfers (which has been there since the beginning), it never reset whenever an item was received, which it should have. However, I never noticed this before, as all transfers for me took less time than the timeout. Unfortunately, this was only really affecting larger banks.
Good news is that I've added the reset in, and also upped the transfer speed again (now that ChatThrottleLib is in place). So, all going well, it should be fully operational once more. Let me know however if you find any problems. Code hasn't changed much, so there shouldn't be. |

I am going to stop testing with multiple members of my guild, go back to the most current version and test with just my sister. See if we can keep it running. With the rest of the guild I just have no idea what they may or may not be doing to the files. I will let you know if I can keep it stable between the two of us. |

Hi there, I myself haven't encountered this problem yet, but if at least three of you are, there must be something wrong. I'd like to propose one suggestion: try downgrading to version 1.7.0, this was directly before the use of ChatThrottleLib. Once you've done that (ensure that all users are using the same mod version also, just to be sure), let me know how it goes. If it fixes the problem, then I'll have more of an understanding of where to look.
It would seem as if the problem is that transfers aren't being completed (as if they were, it wouldn't request another transfer). Not sure what could be causing this. If the problem persists, try downgrading again to the next version, and again, let me know how it goes. I shall try and test with the latest version on my guild, and see if I can reproduce the results you are having. EDIT: Sorry, saw one of you had tried 1.7.0, but it had no effect. Try 1.6.1 also (although, while you use that version you'll have to live with the minimap icon).

Same problem as the 2 below people
Firstly...Many thanks for your time and effort on this addon, it looks like its just the thing my guild could use
A guild member and I downloaded and set this up (just 2 people as a trial) yesterday, and like the 2 people below, we had a problem I was the first person to scan, and I was able to view both inventories no problem However when my inventory was transferring to my guildmate, the progress bar got to about 40% then stopped There have been a couple of recent patches, so I guess this problem could be caused by those ? Thanks for your time Lerbic

Problem with bank sharing
My guildmates and I are having the same issue as below.
The first transfer between 2 members worked. After this the transfering box comes up but never seems to complete. We have tried the following. Deleting the addon and the files from the wtf directory for all members except the guild bank. Transfers keep trying but will not complete, and now all guild members show an empty bank except for the guild bank itself. We are going to try re-installing on the guild bank next I just thought you would like to know our progress. After the first pass no more files are saved to the wtf folder with the saved values. We are using the GuildBanks.lua file and it is in the correct dir. here is the contents **** have been added to protect the innocent GuildInventory_Custom = true; function GuildInventory_ResetCustom() GuildInventory_Banks["****"] = { ["name"] = "*****", ["content"] = {}, ["password"] = "*****", ["updated"] = 0; }; end Any help would be appriciated, great mod we loved the first pass |

My guild recently started using Guild Inventory. As a trial run I and one other member installed the Mod. At first we had no problems everything appeared correctly in the inventory after a single transfer, but now regardless of the version (tried 1.7, 1.8, 1.8.1) the bank inventory seems correct but the transfers occur constantly to the point that we have to disable the mod. I hope there is a simple solution to this because this mod is the best for banking we have found.

Was the GuildBanks.lua file copied in to the correct directory? As regards to searching, that is a good idea. I will look in to that |
