Guild2Guild

Version: 7.5.9

by: dbeleznay, Jaxomuk

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 ==

To view the usage of Guild2Guild:

/g2g help

To turn this addon on or off:

/g2g [on|off]

To turn guild chat on or off:

/g2g gchat [on|off]

To turn officer chat on or off:

/g2g ochat [on|off]

To turn relay change notification on or off:

/g2g relaynotify [on|off]

To turn on passive mode (for slow connections - be the last person to be elected relay)

/g2g passive [on|off]

To turn on silent mode (block all incoming messages from the allied guilds)

/g2g silent [on|off]

To set or change the hidden synchronization channel used by this addon:

/g2g report

(ADVANCED: If something really strange happens you can type /g2g stackdump which will take a
snapshot of the last few minutes of guild2guild activity. If you mail me your guild2guild saved
variables file when you log out then I will be better able to debug what went wrong.)

7.5.9
- fixed error caused when the person you are talking to disconnects, but you still have messages for them
- fixed error message when you turn on Blizzard Class Coloring in the chat frame

7.5.8
- shortened the inter-guild message when a player earns an achievement

7.5.7
- changed to use ChatThrottleLib by Mikk - http://www.wowwiki.com/ChatThrottleLib which should prevent disconnects when a large raid gets an achievement
- allow the channel password to be set to NIL by typing /g2g password

7.5.6
fixed a few minor bugs related to achievements
- achievements are no longer broadcast unless they come from someone in your guild.
- achievement messages are now displayed in the correct window

7.5.5
- achievements are now propagated across guilds
- fixed an extra space that was being introduced when in guild2guild messages
- added a 'silent' mode which allows a player to not see any guild2guild messages
- the addon now automatically shuts down if the password is set incorrectly

7.5.4
- updated for current TOC

7.5.3
- added an additional call to set the variable (arg2) for the sender. For the case of addons like Prat and PhanxChat
which were incorrectly reading it from the global namespace instead of the passed in arguments. This fixes the bug
where some users would see messages as coming from the relay instead of from the correct sender

7.5.2
- initialized chat color properly

7.5.1
- fixed a bug that was still causing duplicate names after relay changes

7.5.0
- Updated to current TOC
- fixed up after blizzard changed the chatframe api

7.4.9
- Updated to current TOC
- added the ability to disable notification messages when the relay changes

7.4.8
- added the ability for a relay to step down if there are others available (passive mode)
- /report shows the complete list of potential relays, and their versions
- no longer allow allied guilds to be put on the rejected relay list
- added a way to change the chat color for incoming guild messages to the context menu for the chat frame
- fixed a synchronization issue where an election would happen immediately after a player logged in if it took them a long time to load

7.4.7 - Jan 5, 2008
- fixed an error where an officer would always try to be the relay even if they didn't have the latest version.

7.4.6 - Jan 5, 2008
- fixed an error on login when the 'guildmembernotify' variable had not yet loaded, but I was trying to query it
- fixed a parse error when looking for player has left the guild messages

7.4.5 - Jan 2, 2008
- Selection of relays is now based on officer rank, ignore list, and whether the 'guild member alert' is set to on
- Play the friend online sound when a member of an allied guild comes online
- Text from players in the allied guild that you are ignoring is no longer displayed locally
- fixed a nil pointer when a message that is too long is sent with a hyperlink
- hide the g2g channel
- No longer working around the guild member alert not firing the event if you don't have the flag set.
Instead I just set it to true the first time you use guild to guild on that character, and afterwards respect
your decision. (Turning it off will really turn it off).

7.4.4 - Dec 27, 2007
- avoid sending Online/Offline messages for players that are merely on the relays friends list, and not actually in the guild.

7.4.3 - Dec 27, 2007

- officer chat is detected automatically
- other addon messages sent to the guild channel are now relayed
- fixed a problem where guild2guild was always trying to take over the first channel
- fixed a bug which was causing connections to other guilds to be lost when the current relay
logged out, and a new one took over if the guild was not using the whitelist
- fixed a bug where the relay would bounce back and forth once when the relay ownership was
transferred to an officer

7.3.4 - Oct 15, 2007
prevented double messages from occurring when one of the relay's got drunk and the guild was
not using whitelists for allied guilds.

7.3.3 - Sept 28, 2007
fixed a synchronization issue electing a new relay when the current relay logged out

[b]I am having this problem. I tried the workaround twistdshade posted and it's showing me in the relay channel in my chat tab, but the relay is not working. Sometimes everything goes smoothly, but sometimes after the start delay when I log on, it asks me for a password for the relay channel. I type in what /g2g report tells me is the password, but it won't accept it. My counterpart says that he has sometimes been prompted for a password, but he puts it in and it works. For some reason it won't take that password from me and just disables g2g on my end. It seems that if I am the first person on to try and get into the relay channel and then someone comes along afterwards they can get in fine. But if someone is already in the relay channel and I log on, thats when I get this password prompt that won't accept the password. Two other people seem to have the addon working fine, I seem to be the only one with this problem.

It sounds like someone in your guild is running either the default version of guild2guild or just doesn't have a password set. If that person is the first one to log in they are creating the channel and setting it to have no password. When you log in with a password you cannot connect to the channel.

The easiest way to fix this is to add the string <G2G: ...> (from the readme.txt) to your guild information in all the guilds that are using the channel. G2G always reads from there first - so the only other reason for you not to be able to join the channel after that is if someone not running the add on, or not in your guilds is in the channel already.

Re: frequent disco's coming from g2g

Hi dbeleznay --

It looks like we've encountered a problem with our guild's g2g feed -- we've got quite a few members complaining of frequent disconnects associated with when a party or raid gets achievements -- I'm assuming this is triggering blizzard's cap on the number of messages allowed in a short time.

I saw a trouble ticket opened on curse about the issue, so it appears it's not just my guild seeing this. After speaking with our sister guild on Proudmoore (Taint) who have a much larger member based linked via G2G I confirmed they are seeing the same issue.

Any potential solutions for this planned?

Thanks

Ginjack

This should now be fixed in 7.5.7

Took me a while to realize that by "the lua file" you were talking about the SavedVariables Lua file and not the one in my \Interface\AddOns\Guild2Guild\ folder ;-) Once I had that part figured out the rest went smoothly. I've changed the other guilds' chat text color. Thanks for your hints! Last edited by Contiki : 06-29-09 at 08:36 AM.

Can anyone help me fix this please?

EDIT: After I shelled back into the game I found out that this workaround DID work. It took a little bit, but the relay seems to be working now with me joining the channel in this way. But if anyone has figured out how to fix this problem so that I can get it to work automatically without the workaround it would be much appreciated.

Ok.. so of anybody repeatedly gets the "Please Enter Password" Window spammed in their face..
1: Type "/g2g off"
2: Type "/join channelname"
3: Type "/g2g on"

Replace "channelname" with your guild's guild2guild channel name.
It worked for me and a couple guild members that were also having the problem.

On a side note.. if you want your guild chat to have a password and restricted to certain guilds, make sure you make a costomised version of guild2guild for all your guild members to download, and make sure nobody is using the default version. My guild had a little problem, where sombody downloaded the default guild2guild addon, and it changed the guild info, and allowed some other guild into our chat.

G2G doesn't strictly need a separate channel, but it does assume that the channel it uses should be hidden in the UI. (So for example if you use another add on that uses a communication channel then guild2guild can share that one - GEM is one example that I can think of)

As I mention though G2G does assume that the channel it uses should be hidden (at least in the default chat frame). So if you are logged into that channel G2G will make it invisible in your UI. If you create another chat window and add the channel to the list displayed there then it should show up properly - I haven't tested this though.

Blizzard broke my UI for this a few patches ago, and I haven't spent the time recreating the UI.

You can still get it to work by changing the color in the lua file. Look for ["color"] = "|cff40ff40",

It's in a hexadecimal format with an alpha channel, so use "|cffRRGGBB" as the color you want.

There's one other thing. I've been trying to change the other guilds' chat text color and apparently a few pages back other players were trying to do the same.

Now maybe I'm just a wee bit slow today or I can't see the forest for the trees but where exactly can I change other guilds' chat text color? I've checked the usual suspects, namely the right-click menu that players get for each of the tabs on the chat frame: screenshot of the chat frame settigs. I've taken that screenshot on a German client but you get the gist ;-) This is where I usually look when I want to change chat text colors. However, I can't seem to find g2g in any of the categories. Where can I change other guilds' chat text color? PS: Since I couldn't find the appropriate options in-game I've taken a look at the Lua files to no avail. I didn't find an obvious way to set other guilds' chat text color there either.

The additional space is removed in 7.5.5
