Installation
Download the "GuildGreet Extended" add-on from Curse.com or from its Google code page found in Resources. To install the add-on manually, click "Download" on its Curse page, then click "Manual Install." Save the ZIP archive to your hard drive, then extract its contents to your "World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns" directory. If you have the Curse Client installed, click "Install via Curse Client," then log in with your Curse.com username and password. The client will install the add-on automatically. Restart "World of Warcraft" for changes to take effect.
Greetings
The "GuildGreet Extended" add-on monitors when members of your guild log in to the game, join the guild for the first time or earn an achievement, such as a level-up or a guild rank promotion. The add-on prints to a list in your user interface the names of all the players whom you haven't yet greeted or congratulated. The color of their name in the list informs you of the appropriate greeting to give. Red means that player recently joined the guild. Orange means that player recently logged on. Green means that player has logged on again. A blue name means that that player has leveled up either during your gaming session or earlier. Purple means that the player has received a guild rank promotion. Clicking on the names in this list generates, in guild chat, a random, appropriate greeting or congratulations.
Mains and Alts
"GuildGreet Extended" tracks which characters belong to which players. A player's "main" is the character whom the player considers his primary character. "Alts" are a player's secondary characters. When a guild member logs in to the game, the "GuildGreet" add-on prints to your screen the name, class and level of that guild member's main and any alts he might also have in the guild. To print to your screen a list of a player's characters, type in to the chat box "/gg name," replacing name with one of the player's character's names.
To identify a character as that player's main, enter the word "Main" into that character's guild note. To identify a character as a player's alt, enter the word "Alt" followed by a hyphen, then the player's main's name. For example: "Alt-Johndoe."
Options
To access "GuildGreet Extended's" options menu, enter the command "/gg" into the chat box. From here, you can adjust how many minutes to allow before re-logging and leveling-up events expire from your greetings list, and how frequently to update the guild roster. You can toggle whether or not to greet alts using the name of the player's main, whether to limit your greetings to whispers, and whether to assign main and alt identification using guild notes. Click on the tabs for "Chat," "Greeting" and "Other" to adjust further settings, including which notifications to suppress. Click the "Greetings" tab in the bottom row to open the message management screen and customize your own greetings.
