LATEST VERSION: v1.2.1.1055
Note From Lemon King
I'll be taking a nice long needed break from WoW over the next Month(s)?
For now, ExAdv1 has volunteered to Maintain the project and keep it updated with changes from Patch to Patch.
I won't be away from this page as I'll keep watch over it as you can PM me or ExAdv1 with any issues.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Known Issues:

This is an API issue, as the API provided by blizzard doesn't refresh properly when called for.
- Players Lacking Guild Info in Roster
Also limited via API, as GUID calls do not return Player Guild.

I'm also a big fan of roleplaying, and our main guild has some sister-guilds. With which we would love to synchronise, indeed. But when testing it with two of the sisterguilds, both GL's installing it and trying it out, nothing seemed to work. Nothing happened when we pressed the "Generate Link", and nothing was send to the other GL when one tried to send a link.
We tried back and forth but it just.. sits there, looking pretty. But again, nothing happened. Any idea what could be wrong?

Its about communication method due to how the API works in WoW.
You need to sync each character, if the sync breaks you need to resync it.
I'm still working on it, which is why full documentation is kinda hard to come by right now.

billye Oct 15, 2010 at 05:55 UTC - 0 likesI tried using this but when i sync up no one in guild could see the other person message in guild i could but they could same goes for the other guild. so i had another person download and install it after sync up they could read what the other guy in guild wrote the guy who sync up no one else i went to another toon and it made me re sync before i could read it. Is this how it works? Did we do something wrong? IF so how do we fix it bc i love to get this add working so we can talk to each other bc we have a raiding guild and alt guild that way everyone can talk together
