Achievement Link Forging

[zee kill]

heh my guildmates didnt like i opened the gates of aq at wrong time

[whitefox]

I got the achievement links working but only I can see it, would there be a way to make it show up in actual chat messages?

[AK40]

Nope, DC's all the time.

If you mean you can see "scarab lord" you're right. But as I said it cannot be linked in guild chat or anywhere else. If it's working for you on live you are a miracle man. Please tell us what you did, instead of just saying fail, which was ironic.

You have to change the 1234 to the real achievement ID as well as the name if you want it to be another achievement.

So for the achievement Scarab Lord to work you would have to replace the 1234 with 416 which is the ID for that achievement.

I can confirm that this works and it IS linkable. I kinda freaked out my guild linking them the sunwell achievement. It does say that you have completed it. If you do exactly what he says to do it will work, also note that he made a typo at first so copy the corrected script. Without that change it will not work.

That's the code I used, I made all the correct changes, unless something got by me, and apparently alot of other people.

Edit: No I don't have a smiley face in the code...not that far gone. Just a badly placed ": 8".

[xrealemotion]

Works fine. +rep

[micko]

confirmed just now works

[Stew]

Apparently for some people it work,s for others it doesnt, but from my experience if it doesnt work, you're just doing it wrong. i may be incorrect in this, but after my typo last night, i went and double checked everything by hand, made up a scarab lord link for my level 36 warlock, and linked it in guild without any problems

[Nakkipaketti]

i triple checked everything dates etc i get the link but i am not able to link it to anyone

[nikomo]

Hah, I linked Scarab Lord as if I would have done it.
I'm a draenei.

Worked for me, I linked it to a friend thru whisper and I linked it to guild.

remove the "0x" so it only says "00000000018BA3E3" in the middle, that should solve it. only the digits after the 0x is to be written.

oh and nice find works perfectly, my guild went WTF
+rep

[Stew]

thanks, yes the instructions do say to chop the 0x off the GUID, so you just have 16 characters that are 0-9 A-F

in case anyone's interested, it appears that the format is
achievementid:guid:done/notdone (1/-1):month:day:year:number related to completion of multiple objectives:multi-objective:multiobjective:multiobjective

[deter]

nice stuff +Rep
where do i get more achievement id's? like caught 500fish or something like that

[Invisible Elf]

I could not make this work, here is the one I tried:

/script ChatFrame1:AddMessage("\124cffffff00\124Hachievement:885:0000000000038735:1:10:19:8:4294967295:4294967295:4294967295:4294967295\124h[Ashes of Al'ar]\124h\124r")

I triple checked that my GUID is right and I also tried other achievements but I simply could not create clickable achievementes (could link in guildchat though)
