Thnx for the tip. Unfortunately I already knew about wowprogramming.com.
Also note that the strings in globalstrings.lua do not necessarily appear in the lua part of the blizzard interface source code.
Especially the system messages which are received via the MSG_CHAT_SYSTEM are already formatted when handed of to the LUA part of the client.
So that won't fix the problem.

At this moment I'm considering using a network traffic analyzer to try to see what the client actually sends and received from the server..

Basically when I open the Social Pane all is fine.
However when I select the Guild tab I get the system message "You are not in a guild."

That might indeed be more efficient...

However that is not part of my problem.

This is just the list of almost all guild related APIs I could find, so I copy pasted it and hooked it. Turns out there are more functions that request information from the server and can trigger a "You are not in a guild" system message.

I need help finding out which APIs those are, not with optimizing my code.

=)

This is the list of APIs i'm hooking.
No idea what other APIs i could possibly add...

Hey guys,

First post on these forums, really hope you can help me out!

I'm trying to create an addon which will allow people who are not in the same guild to have a seamless "guild" experience.
This means i'm redirecting Guild chat and want to create an online list.
I am hooking functions to add custom entries to the Guild Pane online list, however I stumble in to 1 problem.

When the player is not actually in a guild I have to make sure the client doesn't use APIs that are only available when you are in a guild.
I have hooked some functions so the GUI correctly enables the Guild Pane (by default it's disabled if you're not in a guild), but when I open the Guild Pane i get a system message that says "You are not in a guild.".

I could of course just filter this message, however that is not what I want.
Have any of you ever before tried to reuse parts of the Blizzard GUI and if so do you have any tips for me?

Regards,
