Guilder is an addon written to attempt to make everyday guild life simpler and more enjoyable. The addon contains modules for guild admin as well as party/raid utilities (This addon uses Ace3 and libdatabroker)
Guilder has been rewritten and now uses a new API. If you have version 1, please delete it and its saved variables before installing this version!
Note Version numbering will be x.y.z, where x is a major rewrite of the framework, y is added functionality and z is bug fixes.
Text and Tooltip
Note Text will only be visible if you are using a "bar" addon like ChocolateBar or FuBar (with Broker2FuBar).

Modules
The following module(s) are currently working
Busy Responder
- Responds to selected members when they send you a whisper.
- You can choose to also respond to anyone in these categories: Officers, Guild, Raid, Party and Friends.
- Note The responder will not respond to any of the above categories if it isn't selected.
Crowd Control
- Enables you to assign people/tasks to the raid icons and then announce it.
- You can announce it on the SAY channel
- If you are the party leader, you can also announce it on the PARTY channel
- If you are the raid leader, or a raid assistant, you can also announce it on the RAID channel
- If you are a GM or an officer, you can also announce it on the GUILD or OFFICER channel
Monitor
- Can query anyone in the group with Guilder installed and show you their consumables status.
- This is useful, since range isn't an issue like with other consumables checking addons.
Quick Share
- Allows you to share notes with other players with Guilder installed.
- If the note contains a macro, you can also save it to your own macros from here.
Roster Dumper
- Allows you to dump the entire guild roster into a comma or tab delimited list for you to copy and paste from.
- Note Tab delimited lists are useful to paste the roster into a spreadsheet.
Version Checker
- Checks the versions of addons for anyone using Guilder.
Development Status
In Development
- Remote Control - allows you to enable/disable selected Guilder modules for other players if you are a guild officer. It also allows you to request the raid leader to do a ready check if you are a raid assistant.
Being Considered
Mass Inviter
Tool to allow you to mass invite by level, rank, etc.
Mass Mailer
Tool to allow you to send a in-game mail to selected members of the guild.
Zoner
Display information when entering a zone, specifically for dungeons/raids.
Still To Do
- Make WIM behave by not showing guilder messages
- Continue module development
- Allow user to specify click combos

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.
