Cross Guild Chat

Version: 1.1.1.235

by: Lemon King [More]

1: What does this addon do?
It allows you to synchronize guild chat across multible guilds in a seamless fashion.
Type something in your gchat and it shows up to the other synchronized guilds in their gchat, vise-vera.
Everyone in the linked guilds needs to have it installed and connected for it to work.

2: Setup for something like this must be complicated!
Not as much as you would think, its all about implementation, and quite easy to synchronize.

3: How would I go about synchronizing 2 or more guilds together.
Simple!
The first 2 guilds must know they want to do this once this is done you can start the sync.
So lets make 2 fake guilds just for an example.
Guild 1 is: Dragon Spooker and Guild 2 is: Gorgeous

GM of Dragon Spooker wishes to sync guild chat with the GM of Gorgeous.
First the GM of Dragon Spooker will open the Control Panel and Generate a link, and Send the Link to the GM of Gorgeous. Make sure Officers have Guild Info Edit Permissions.
Note: The GM of Gorgeous will not have to generate their own link.

A popup box for the GM of Gorgeous will show with the following text:
"GM of Dragon Spooker wishes to synchronize Guild Chat."
The GM will have 2 options, to accept or decline.

Now lets add a 3rd guild the Hellmasters.
Syncing with them is quite simple, following the steps with the other guilds but adding a 3rd one gives you one last choice at the end.
Your two options are to make a new link (by generating a new link, breaking your link with any other guilds), or use your current existing link that you have made with another set of guilds.
Allowing for more than 2 guilds to sync.

Also, make sure you and the receiver have each other on their whitelist.

FEATURES:
Seamless Cross Guild Chat

Class Colors
Clickable Player Names with invite/ignore/whisper
ANY Linkable Items
Sortable Guild List via Player Name and Guild

Achievements Cross Guild
Zero Delay Chat Time
Works with ANY Chat Addon: Prat, Chatter, TukUI (Tuk's Version)

Notes:
Patches 4.0.3 and 4.0.3a will enable a few other guild tabs and they will work once that patch drops. So you can safely enable the addon until I either update the TOC or push an update.

Odd, worked on the tests I pushed 2 weeks ago and haven't had a single report of this.

We tried with him sending the invite me sending the invite and everything inbetween. Cleared data. Still nothing seems to work. __________________ [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Last edited by Nobgul : 11-07-10 at 12:45 PM.

there is also no instructions file to explain the use of the White List. Seems like it is just those GM's you have linked with, but some explination would be helpful.

Look forward to this working.

Make sure the receiver has you on the Whitelist, and you have them on your Whitelist.

Without trying this out, my question is: will this work when the gm is offline? Just curious if that is the case or if you need to be logged in to have it functional.

GMs can be offline while this is being used.

You can also simply make a custom channel in-game to do this, but to each their own. Nice work nonetheless.

I went through several different proof of concepts before I settled on this implementation.

Xruptor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 137 File comments: 640 Uploads: 22	This is a great implementation of cross guild chat I have two suggestions though: 1) You should use the chatThrottleLib to prevent too much information being sent within specific intervals. The library does this for you and also makes sure that information being sent doesn't exceed the blizzard limit. I.E It prevents spam. http://www.wowinterface.com/download...rottleLib.html and http://www.wowwiki.com/ChatThrottleLib OR You can use AceComm-3.0 to do the same thing. Since it includes the latest version of ChatThrottleLib. (Revision 21) http://svn.wowinterface.com/filedeta...lua&rev=4&sc=1 AceComm-3.0 SVN : http://svn.wowinterface.com/listing....%2F&rev=4&sc=1 2) You REALLY should make this mod work with alts that aren't in a guild. If you did that I'm 100% sure this mod will become very popular. There are lot of people that would love to view their guilds chat and respond but have alts that aren't in the guild. This way they won't miss out on important events, sudden quick raids, etc... I do hope you think about it Other then that this is a great mod Very simplified. __________________ Click HERE for the ultimate idiot test. if (sizeof(sadness) > sizeof(happiness)) { initDepression(); } Last edited by Xruptor : 11-07-10 at 07:18 AM.
