Just a brief update on GuildAds ...

Hey all, we are making great progress on getting everyone on GuildAds. I have noticed that a few are still running it against our old channel "theforgiven", please double check and update to "TF". If you are unfamiliar with GuildAds, it borders on requirement *almost*. We do strongly encourage you run it, it allows you to see stuff other guild mates may have that you might need plus it will give you a place to list what you want. Additionally, it will allow you to view other guild mates who might be online at the time and see what they have equipped, this is really important as often many of the higher level characters come across good BOE gear and it is very nice to quickly check someone's gear without sending a whisper or guild chat. It also lists your professions and what level you are at. This is key as many of us come across extra plans/patterns/etc which you might want or can level from. The last but not the least is we also use it to list any guild events. This is a great place for you to list that you need to go to ZF or Stockades or Maraudon.

You can snag it from our download page on www.theforgiven.net. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to ask in guild, someone will be able to assist you.
 
Oh, one other quick thing for those of us who use it all the time. Here is the current state of GuildAds in the form of their latest and bleeding edge (don't download unless you know what you are doing) builds. Most interesting is their integration with GEM which we use for SGA stuff. Looks like we might have some interesting configurations in the future on how to have both theforgiven guild events and aSGA events.

WARNING : BACKUP YOUR SavedVariables/GuildAds.lua BEFORE USING THIS VERSION.

WARNING 2 : This is a CVS version, only for test. This version is still compatible with version 1.02 (nearly the same code); but the UI changed a lot. There is many bugs, everywhere. Don't repport bugs on sourceforge.net for now.

NOTE : The events disappeared, but GuildEventManager is integrated if it is installed. GEM is automaticaly configure to use the same channel than GA.

Many part are coded with plugins, see PluginSpecifications (perhaps 'specification' will change).

We just started to rewrite storage and protocol communication so don't except a new CVS version before a moment.


About plugins see (Web)CVS : http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/guildads/∞

- GuildAdsMule : allow to publish all items in bags and banks. Handle bound items, keep uncheck ads in "My Ads".
( http://wow.tartiflette.free.fr/data/guildads/GuildAdsMule-20060131.zip∞ )

- Installer : NSIS script, to create a installer for windows
( NSIS homepage : http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page∞ )."
 
Just a quick clarification: so for us non l33t users who dont want to tinker with the experimental version, the latest build of Guildads currently being supported is the one released in november? And the thing to remember is that we are to make sure to use the TF channel?
 
Yes, the November version 1.02 is the current version everyone should be using. They should configure this version by right clicking on the mini map icon (likes like a crumbled note). Select "Use channel" (this is off by default) and type in TF.
