- About Guild2Guild
- Guild2Guild v7.4.9 - Updated by Durthos of Proudmoore - dbeleznay@shaw.ca
- Modified by Tassleoff
- Originally by Elviso of Mug'Thol - elviso@kenman.net
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.
Table of Contents
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.

mdewaddic saidwtf we had no members in our guild using this addon, and randomly it started transmitting chat, we dont aprecate this, what can we do to avoid future glitches like this?

dbeleznay saidif I understand correctly you started transmitting and receiving chat from another guild after someone in your guild logged in with the add-on installed.
the simplest way to prevent that from happening would be to add something like
<G2G;C:foo;A:YOURGUILDNAME;> to your guild information.
That will make it so that no other guilds can connect to yours.

Eragonia saidOk, well i have a simple question.....In which .lua file, and where in that file are we supposed to put the string to setup the guilds we would like to communicate with. I need specific directions please, I have been through these .lua files thouroughly and cannot figure it out.
Our string will be:
<g2g;c:condemned2condemned;p:outcasts;A:Condemned,Almost Condemned;>

niagairt saidWe keep getting "refused connection from XXXXXXXXXX"
Here is what we (the two guild masters) have put in our guild information page
<G2G;C:nsaeachat;P:secret;A:The REAL FTB,The Epic Alliance;>
EDIT: We found the problem with that. The other GM had typed THE REAL FTB instead of The REAL FTB. Watch those caps people

Johnnyrules saidI've searched high and low for some more information on this addon, but to no avail.
We now have 2 guilds using this addon - which is great. We turned gchat off - ochat on. We then set all ranks to view Officer Chat - so this is almost like our 'LFG' channel. Great, all setup - working fine.
Then comes the issue with 1 person from each guild being online and having G2G setup. My initial though was to handpick several active members.
This is where the trouble starts. I'm not savvy with addon code, so my knowledge is all ingame based.
When a member with a much lower rank then the GM installs the addon, sets it up, becomes the main relay (i switch addon off /g2g off) - the communication stops.
We then tried - /g2g report - which shows our guild member's info as 'Officer:false' - my initial thought is that /g2g ochat on - wasnt used - although it has.
This lead me to think it could be a rank issue? is this true?
There are many settings in /g2g report which are not talked upon in these notes, for instance these are our settings that i'v no idea what they do or how they help?
Officer Rank: NOT SET (I've tried many ways to set this ingame)
Allied Guild: NOT SET (This isnt set but both guilds are within 'Verified Guilds'
Happy to contribute with my feedback so feel free to message me personally (meant for the author) Although i do suggest a website with some kind of FaQ.
Cheers, John

dbeleznay saidGuild2Guild makes the assumption that the higher a player is ranked the more likely he is to be able to communicate in officer chat.
The fact that your entire guild is able to configure the add on might be confusing it.
You shouldn't need to turn the addon off when a new member logs in - in theory everyone should be able to run the addon simultaneously, and it will sort out who the relay is.
My guild uses officer chat, and guild chat separately so I haven't been able to test this. Given a little time I could probably try it out.

Silverbirch saidAlthough I have nothing to do with this addon other than my guilds use it, I can tell you that your problem IS a rank issue. I don't know how you would fix it other than to try passwording a set channel and only giving the password to the officers. In our 2 guilds, we use it for open communication between members of the two guilds.
I did have an issue with another guild getting spammed with our guild chat. One of their members had the addon. I don't recall how I fixed it, but it seems I 'blocked' that guild from our chat. I found the answer in the readme file.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Johnnyrules saidWell, i would prefer any rank to be able to use this addon, as its just our way of communicating and i trust all members - so the more that have it the better - But i don't want to promote everyone?
In response to the guild chat spam - We do /g2g gchat off then we select our own channel. But 1 big important thing is don't forget these settings only apply to each character - if you log an alt, settings are back to the default - A nice feature would be to have some sort of profile we can default to?
Im still looking for answers to my original query so if anyone has news it would be appreciated - If this is a rank issue, what settings need to be enabled?

Dantor saidThe current version is definitely not secure, it is easy to watch the guild chat of any player who have this addon installed as long you know their names.

dbeleznay saidit's not fully secure, but it can be set up in a what that will cause it to be more secure.
If you use the white list to specify which guilds you would like to be able to communicate with, and you change the default channel from g2gdefault into something else then any messages from someone trying to join the channel and impersonate a member of the guild will just be rejected.

Serneum saidJust out of curiosity...I see that only one person per guild needs to have the addon, but what happens if they sign off?
EDIT:
/g2g stackdump didnt make a saved variables file and we keep getting spammed in the guild chat by the addon. Using 2.4.0

Mordikaiin said8eight8 - make a channel and give it a password, then type /g2g channel CHANNELNAME and hit enter, it will ask u for a password put in the password and woolah.
I also did the g2g string in the guild information and it worked for us.
The string looked like this...
<G2G;C:pestilence;P:pwnzjoo;A:Pestilence,Proximity Pull;>

8eight8 saidWhile trying to enhance security on the g2g we opted to change the channel name the way suggest by changing the default file and re-up the addon to our guilds forum, now we got the problem that the addon will not set the new channel and instead it just uses the old relay channel. is there any other way to work around this other than deleting the wtf folder or manually deleting the g2g lua file under each char you use it on?

H0PE saidWhat happens if more than one user logging in to the game (from one guild) with the addon installed? Do one of them need to turn off the addon or the addon notices that more than one guy logged in from the guild?
Because if more than one guy have it in one guild I guess there can be spammage all over the place (since both/all of them spamming the chat with the addon)... Or not?

dbeleznay saidThe add-on will automatically select only one relay at a time. When the current relay logs out a new one will be elected.

asianeko saidSomething that would be nice to see in future releases would be a way for things to be said in guild chat without transmitting them as well. This way the guilds involved can still have their own private communication area without having to set up another channel.

dbeleznay saidbut how would you be able to distinguish text that was meant to be said just to guild chat? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the guild alliance in the first place?

Senniyu saidOkay, I figured out what causes the [name][name] bug when you have the mod installed. If the relay is using version 747 and you have 748, you'll see the doubled names. It will function properly when the relay is set to someone with version 748.
