Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

I have no clue how difficult this would be to implement, but when talking with the Green Enclave, we were wondering if having Guild Storage, where any member with a key has access to it, is possible. For us, we have a couple toons who act as "Guild Vault" that have to log in to make a transfer to a toon, who then has to transfer it back to the player of the vault, who can then give the item to whoever needs it. It's doable, but would be nice if we could just stash items in a guild storage.

Again, I don't know if that would be difficult to do or not. We wouldn't want just anyone having access to the storage; only those with guild tokens. (Though, in the Green Enclave's case, only those with guild tokens can even get to where the storage would be, so it would be fine if anyone who could interact with the storage could have access)

Thanks for your time!

I don't know the protocol for its addition to a given guild, but this has been (mostly) implemented for at least a couple of years now. Funnily enough, this is the second request we've had for it in the past week...

Its a bit misleading to say that. It most definitely is not an established mechanic for guilds even though we do have the tech for it. There's been little to no discussion staffside about it recently, nor do I know any active guildhalls that have a system like it.

System like that sounds awesome!

Having the tech is what I was referring to. We basically have it, but I can guarantee you nobody's using it: Dae commented out all the relevant code a few years back.

When the DMs (and whoever else is involved in the discussion, more likely to be admins and builders than code monkeys like me) decide on how the system is to be deployed, if at all, it'll be trivial to bring it online. The biggest chunk of work will be double-checking that there's no possible exploits in the script to let people rob guild vaults.

At any rate, the purpose of my post was twofold:

1. JAG worried that it might be technically challenging to add, so I reassured him that it was anything but.
2. JAG didn't think to ask about how his guild might get guild storage, but he needed to know the rules around it. In the absence of such rules, I instead made a roundabout reference to an ongoing staff thread that is likely to result in their creation.
