Guild Watchdog

⇡ My Guild user help     All documents

The guild watchdog tool to help you with tracking of your guild halls content. It is based on list of rules defined for each item sheet that is compared to your current inventory cache. Please note that even that guild watchdog rules are shared for all guild members, the tracking is based on your private cache and is as old as your cache is. The script will notify you when a related storage cache is older than 10 minutes.

The tool itself allows you to define several options for each item sheet, like its required quality, stored amount, guild hall where it should be placed and tracks changes of absolute amount owned by the guild. Based on this system you can see which items your guild needs to acquire or sell to make space.

Guild valuer tool is using guild watchdog rules to tell you if any of your private inventories contain any items that your guild might need. The Guild Checker is using rules to guess which operations you should do with item stacks to optimize inventories and fulfill watchdog rules.

Before you start using the tool, you should understand it as being a group tool. It is possible to manage all rules manually one by one but it is not very effective because you will probably need 1000 or more rules for your guild. You need to have guild administration rights to be able to manage guild watchdog rules. For your personal use, please use the watchdog available in the BagApp.

To create new rule, open Watchdog and click Add link in section menu right to title. As first step you need to find an item sheet you want to add. Use the search field to search items by given name and select from displayed results. In case a rule for such sheet already exists, you will update the existing rule instead of creation.

As next you can set several options for the watchdog rule.

• Preferred hall allows you to set a specific guild hall where you wish to store this type of items.
• Amount allows you to specify how many pieces of the selected item you wish to have stored in total, no matter of location. Remember that this is the bottom limit and each rule requires double to be fulfilled.
• Quality says which is the minimal required quality of the item you wish to store.
• Required quality or higher checkbox allows you to set if to also count items with quality higher than specified above.

To make rules management faster, you can use a generator script. Open Watchdog and click Generator link in section menu right to title. The generator builds multiple rules based on parameters you set in first step. Then you will work with a created (working) list before you confirm all changes.

The first step in work with the generator is to setup list of sheets you want to work with and default parameters that will be used. Check and correct following groups of options before you continue:

• Category allows you to select a category of items you want to work with. It is a mandatory option.
• Class option allows you to limit item class to one specific or include all items in the group.
• Ignore not owned items option will cause that all items not actually owned by your guild will be ignored.
• Reverse rule pre-selection, when checked, will de-select all new rules and select all existing rules in the list of managed rules.

• No preferred hall - select this option to ignore storage preferences by default.
• The hall where the most is currently stored - select this option to let the generator set the target guild hall by information where the biggest stack currently is.

• As defined will cause that the required amount for all items in the list will be set to a number defined in the following text field.
• Current amount or as defined will make the generator to set minimal amount to value of currently stored items or to a number defined in the following text field (in case your guild do not currently own such item).
• 2x current amount or as defined option works similar as the option above just the current amount will be doubled for the rule. It might be useful if you have just few of items in the list.

• As defined will set minimal required quality to a number defined in the following text field.
• Current lowest quality or as defined will let the generator to set default quality requirements to the lowest value by currently held items or to a number defined in the following text field (in case your guild do not currently own such item).
• Current highest quality or as defined will let the generator to set default quality requirements to the highest value by currently held items or to a number defined in the following text field (in case your guild do not currently own such item).

Once you have set all options, click Build the table button to get selected group of rules to manage. You can always use Start over option to drop current table and return to previous step, the main category will be kept. This step consists of two main sections you should review before you start the generator to perform changes:

• Update existing rules will remove all current watchdog rules and create new with options set in table above.
• Remove all existing rules and do not create new will remove all existing rules for the selected group but will ignore all new setting. Use this option to remove multiple rules based on selected group.
• Ignore new rules and keep all current option will keep all existing rules for selected group and will ignore all new settings.
