Goblinventory Discussion Thread

[Fortun]

It's really too bad development has stopped, as I was hoping to use this for posterity purposes. Any chance of a fix to at least make it compatible with 5.0.x?

I emailed @Erorus about it a few weeks or so ago.

It's true that FORWARD development has stopped, meaning that new features won't be added or whatnot.

But he did say he would get around to getting it to work with 5.0.x
Perhaps he just got caught up with something else, but I haven't heard back in a while about it.
Last I heard, he asked me for a sample string and he would look into it.

I don't mind that he has tossed this to the side and left it as one of his fun projects, but it does still tend to a small group of people, and it would be great if it was simply updated to keep compatible through out the patches.

I would be more than happy to do this myself, but I don't know anything about coding when it comes to this stuff. Just your basic HTML and CSS. Heh.

@Erorus, any chance you'll look into this issue? I would love to be able to continue using this addon but I'm having the issue that only my character's bags and bank are showing up, not the guild vault at all. But, the copied string looks like it contains everything including all bank tabs. I tried pasting the string in a text editor and playing with submitting different snippets, and it just seems to ignore anything that isn't Bags or Bank. I had not updated since late June and had this issue, then just now downloaded the latest version and still have the issue...did some code change on the server itself that might be breaking the way it reads the string?

[Erorus]

Sorry. Here's the situation. I never really used Goblinventory myself. Nothing changed with this addon after the official release (except for WoW patch 5.0, which may have broke some things). Pandas were released, and I got into playing the game instead of bugfixing. Then in late October through now, I've been moving to a new house, which has taken up most of my time. I'm mostly moved in now (finally got broadband back in the new place yesterday) and now I find I can't be bothered even to play WoW, heh. I cancelled my WoW sub the other day.

So Goblinventory is waaaay down on the list of things I want to do. I'm thinking of just closing it altogether. I think there's like 5 folks that care about it. FWIW, I'm thinking about closing Phenix Armory, too, for the same reasons. (Don't feel like updating it, hardly anyone uses it.)

[Erorus]

Just letting y'all know that Goblinventory and Phenix Armory have officially been discontinued.

Hey @Erorus, I noticed that WoWHead now has a bag scanner tool. Was this by chance you reviving Goblinventory as a WoWHead tool? If so, kudos!

Yeah. Sorry it's behind premium, but it was during a push we had to give more perks to Wowhead patrons.

Maybe you can sneak me in for this feature for free since I sparked the idea

In all seriousness, I feel honored to know I helped contribute to something on WoWHead! It was just the idea, but you all did the actual work to make it happen. Cheers!
