Enables communication between 2 or more guilds via a separate (private) chat channel,
which translates the messages between the 2 or more guild chats. Two users are required
to have this addon for it to work (1 in each guild), however only 1 user per guild is
required to have Guild2Guild for all members of both guilds to reap the benefits. For
example, guild chat from guild A will appear in guild B's guild chat, and vice-versa.
== Features ==
¤ Works for officer chat as well. You can enable either guild chat, officer chat, or both.
¤ Allows item linking
¤ Completely secure since the transmission channel is via in game whispers. The public
channel that you set is used for cross guild synchronization only
* You can set the add-on to be even more secure by limiting the guilds that you will
accept relays from (in case someone with the addon has characters in multiple guilds)
* forwards messages that other addons send to the guild addon channel
* unlike previous versions, more than two people from either guild can have the add-on
running at once (in fact its encouraged for stability)
* Everyone with the addon will see the guild chat as though it came directly from the
person that sent the message. Clicking on their name will have all the same functionality
as the regular WOW UI.
== USAGE ==
To use Guild2Guild, just download and install like any other addon, and have a friend (in a
different guild) do the same. Then, decide upon a synchronization channel, and set both of
your G2G's to the same channel, like so:
/g2g channel relaychannel
Once the channel is set, simply enable G2G as such:
/g2g on
You should now be ready for intra-guild communications!
== GUILDMASTERS ==
You can limit the guilds that you can connect to using a white list, and automatically set
the channel and password by adding a string like:
<G2G;C:channel;P:secret;A:Guild1,Guild2;>
to your guild information (through the guild options menu).
Where channel is the name of the channel you want guild2guild to use to coordinate relays,
password is the password for that channel, and Guild1 and Guild2 are the names of two or more
guilds that you would like to allow to connect to this one.
(Password is optional, you don't need to use it if you don't want to have a password.)
Alternately you can create a custom build of guild2guild for your guild to use by editing the file
DefaultConfiguration.lua to use a new channel, and channel password, and then reposting this
add on to your guild website.
Guild to Guild will automatically promote people that are allowed to speak in the officer
channel to relays. This is so that the officer chat can be relayed as well.
== KNOWN BUGS ==
none
== Summary of in-game help commands ==

I was probably way off, but I saw "UKNOWNBEING" and thought maybe it should be "UNKNOWNBEING", but wouldn't know which is right....I was just wanting to look at some LUA before I totally forgot it. |

AFK, Channel numbers
Great addon, really saved the day when my guild split, thanks guys.
2 little issues: would it be possible to prevent everyone from the other guild having <AFK> in front of their chat when the relay is flagged afk? There's something spooky about a whole guild appearing afk. :P Also, is there a way to prevent the g2g channel becoming channel 1? It's confusing when /general is on /2 and /trade on /3 etc. Edit: I changed Startdelay from 15 to 30 in guild2guild.lua and it seems to have fixed the 2nd problem.

Re: AFK, Channel numbers
I'm working on some code that will allow a relay to step down if a more appropriate relay is available, I'm thinking that this would happen automaticaly if a relay went into an instance, or got drunk, or went afk, or found that they were being ignored by the relay in the other guild. That's probably the more long term solution for this...

I'm not having any luck with this mod at all. I have it installed on 2 toons, both are in the same channel, both are turned on, but neither one relays the chat. Do you have to have the guilds in the alliance listed or should it work if they are in the same channel together?

If you have two characters, online, using the same channel the add-on should start working after about a minute (it takes that long to establish that there is no other person acting as the relay). Can you try logging on, waiting for a minute, then running a /g2g report on both characters, and then /g2g stackdump and send me the results? Thanks Durthos |

My bad, I don't remember posting that at all, my bad for not getting back to you sooner.
I got it working. As best I can tell I did in fact have to have the guilds in the alliance list. We are running with 3 guilds and it works almost flawlessly. For those of us with the mod it really is a seamless merging of the guild and officer chats. Very nice. Couple of things I noticed, would offer suggestions on. The config lua didn't work at all. I changed it to the premade channel and password, but neither took, I had to have everyone enter the channel and password with slash commands. Because of this, we kept running into problems where as people log in and out some of them have the password and some of them don't, and as the channel owner gets passed to someone without the password, you start getting wow chat errors about the wrong password. I would suggest allowing the GM to store the channel password in his officer note, or in the Guild info and allowing the mod to pull it from there so everyone is on the same sheet of music. Perhaps the channel name could go there as well? Allowing a sync of the guild members online would be very nice. However, in the interim, perhaps an easier thing to add that would be a very nice feature is that if someone comes online or goes offline from one of the guilds that that get echoed as well so you know when people are entering and leaving the game. Anyway, nice job on updating the mod man, works reall well, I for one am grateful for it. |

This is a really nice mod mate.
Would there be any way to include the Guilds name? For example: [Guild][Johnny][Azeroths Redemption]: Hi! [Guild][Maziel]:Hello there! [Guild][Vixen][The Casuals]: Howdy! [Guild][Snoopy][Fluffy Bunny Rabbits]: Yo. Etc. Your guild name need not show up, but your allies does. |
