[Celltech]

No error, most of the actual text just shows up.

You know I actually did hear about this but the one thing that caught my mind was...
What kind of a person that has worked enough to have a guild worth doing this in, and is an officer in that guild, would want to risk getting banned for imitating Blizzard Employees just to have a few people begging to know how you did some thing so cool!?
:P Think about that
Aside from that, I actually think this is really cool.
Nice find.

Try to select all in the edit box and hit backspace. Still if that macro doesn't work, I don't know what will.

Did you purposefully set your GMotD to jumbled text like that?

If any of officers try to set new GMotD it changes into yellow text and its not vissible in GMotD box like in my 2nd screeshot.

I found that if I write some spam into GMotD like "sdaawdasefgsregsgdsrg" but dont push Accept, then delete it using Backspace or ctr+a +backspace, the junk text will become shorter.
I can even make it 1 letter long. But I cant remove the last letters...now mine GMotD is 9letters long, they are random lettters, and yes I wrote it myself just to check what will happen if I try to set GMotd..but nobody can remove it.

Sorry for bad english :>

Padman, I can't figure out why you can't remove that part of the GMotD. I just did some tests on a dummy guild and both + and /run GuildSetMOTD"" successfully cleared it.

Where do we find all the different spell icons? i cant find the folder marked "Interface\icons"

[diller]

we all know macros got a limit of 255 letters... is there somehow a way i can make this amount of letters higher ? so i can write a longer "GM msg" ?

[vivitron]

it is good to fake some1 in guild

[diller]

it is good to fake some1 in guild

does it only work to people in your guild?

[roflade]

Works very well tobad your message cant be very long neone know how to make it so it can be lengthier??

hah, I simply wrote /gmotd in chat and it cleared

But I've got another question..
Where I can found more paths to icons like this
Spell_Holy_GreaterBlessingofSalvation.

I tried to similary wrote a path to other holy spell for ex. Spell_Holy_FlashHeal and it worked,
but when I tried to insert other school spell like: Spell_Assassination_Ambush it didnt.

Try either of these methods, although the second may be easier if you've never model edited:

1. Check out the model editing section here for a guide on opening the file enUS/locale-enUS.MPQ> (substitute in your contry and language code; enUS is American English) with MyWarcraftStudio. You'll see an Interface/Icons folder in there if you filter by "*.blp" files.
2. Possibly easier is to search for an item or spell that uses the icon on wow.allakhazam.com. Right click on the icon and click properties in the dropdown menu. It'll show something like this:

   http://wow.allakhazam.com/images/icons/Spell_Holy_GreaterBlessingofSalvation.png

   Just put that emphasized part into the proper place in the macro.

we all know macros got a limit of 255 letters... is there somehow a way i can make this amount of letters higher ? so i can write a longer "GM msg" ?

This is a little more complex and requires two macros. One to save a message:

/run MyGMotD="Add your lengthy message here. (If it's too long, it'll show Internal Guild Error.)"

...And one to actually send it out (Don't forget to add your name):

/run local p,g,s="",GuildSetMOTD,GetGuildRosterMOTD()g(s.."\r\124TInterface\\ChatFrame\\UI-ChatIcon-Blizz.blp:18:12:0:-1\124t \124cffff80ff\124Hplayer:"..p.."\124h["..p.."]\124h whispers: "..MyGMotD.."\124r")g(s)MyGMotD=nil

Set the first one up with a message and run it. Then when you run the second one, it'll send that message out, and then reset the message (to avoid accidentally saying the same thing twice). To send a second message, edit that first macro, run it, then run the second again. If you run the second macro with no message (accidentally ran it first or hit the button twice), it will give an error. The error is harmless; just be sure to set your message with the first macro.

Note that I don't know the GMotD length limit off the top of my head. Just don't try to write too much in one tell.

Made my targetted friend CD xP

[kgribbe]

lol used these:

/run MyGMotD="Greetings, this is Game Master Cenroth, I have the somewhat unpleasant job to tell you that your account will be suspended for breaking the EULA."

/run local p,g,s="Cenroth",GuildSetMOTD,GetGuildRosterMOTD()g(s.."\r\124TInterface\\ChatFrame\\UI-ChatIcon-Blizz.blp:18:12:0:-1\124t \124cffff80ff\124Hplayer:"..p.."\124h["..p.."]\124h whispers: "..MyGMotD.."\124r")
