Editing Spell and Quest links
After a couple of reposts about linking funny Quests and GM spells in the chat i decided to make this guide. I hope it is useful to you guys!
Notice these scripts can't cause you a Disconnect!
EDIT: All credit goes to me

Editing Spell Links
The patch 2.4 allows you to link spells you dont even have by typing in a simple script:

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:SPELL ID\124h[Spell Name]\124h\124r");

to make it work you just need to replace the SPELL ID to the spells Id which can be found via WoWhead and
replace the Spell Name to the Spells correct name.


Adding Spell ID
1. part is to look for the spells name we are looking for, lets say it is Fireball.

• Search the WoWhead for the Fireball
• The result will show you only one item Tome of Fireball XII
• Click button "Uncategorized spells" upper to the search result
• Scroll down to the fireball and click it
• Then the sites address will be like this:
  http://wowhead.com/?spell=24611 the green part of the address is the items ID.

2. part is to add the item ID to the script:
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:SPELL ID\124h[Spell Name]\124h\124r");
---> /script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:24611\124h[Spell Name]\124h\124r");

Now we have the items ID but the spells name is still missing


Adding Spell name
Adding the spells name is the simpliest thing. You can replace it whit anything you want, like [OMGPEWPEW] but its not worth it, becouse if you link it,
it will only show the correct spell name [Fireball].Or you can just replace Spells Name with the Spells
correct name to make it simplier to remember which spell is which.

The other parts of the scripts ("\124cff71d5ff\....) are just color or other codes. You can try to change them but they will show by the lightblue color in the chats anyway.


Some Spell links i made for you:

[Simple Teleport Other]
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:7079\124h[Simple Teleport Other]\124h\124r");

[Area Death (TEST)]
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:265\124h[Area Death (TEST)]\124h\124r");

[Death]
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:41220\124h[Death]\124h\124r");

[Kill Critter]
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:35137\124h[Kill Critter]\124h\124r");



Editing Quest Links
The script for Quests is pretty same looking as Spell script
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffff2020\124Hquest:Quests ID:Quests lvl\124h[Quests name]\124h\124r");

Adding Quests ID
1. part find the ID for your Quest, lets say the quest is Spleedid!

• Search WoWhead for Spleendid
• You will get the Quest Spleedid!'s info page
• Check the Quests ID from Address: http://wowhead.com/?quest=10661
• Copy the yellow part, it's the Quests ID

2. part replace Quest ID with the ID you've found/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffff2020\124Hquest:Quests ID:Quests lvl\124h[Quests name]\124h\124r");
--->/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffff2020\124Hquest:10661:Quests lvl\124h[Quests name]\124h\124r");

Adding Quests lvl
1. part look for the lvl of the quest from WoWhead, we are finding it for
the quest Spleedid!
2. Copy the lvl req and replace Quests lvl with the lvl you've found:
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffff2020\124Hquest:10661:Quests lvl\124h[Quests name]\124h\124r");
--->/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffff2020\124Hquest:10661:69\124h[Quests name]\124h\124r");

Adding Quests name
Just replace Quests Name with Quests real name. Notice! The quests name must be written 100% right or it won't work!
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffff2020\124Hquest:10661:69\124h[Quests name]\124h\124r");
--->
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffff2020\124Hquest:10661:69\124h[Spleendid!]\124h\124r");


The other parts of the script ("\124cff71d5ff\....) are just color or other codes. You can try to change them but they will show by the color of your level in the chats anyway.

Quest link i made for example:

[Don't Kill the Fat One]
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffff2020\124Hquest:9889:65\124h[Don't Kill the Fat One]\124h\124r");



Try these out and make your own and post them here, i hope this was helpful!
Made this to be Sticky

[chrisernja]

so gonna use this !!

[Bareno]

Wowhead already adds spells + quests in an "Get link" button, so no need for this.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[jonchijonchi]

But if you wanna do it the script way (or by your own this is useful)

[Alkhara Majere]

Good post. If not your creation, please leave credit.

[Rohi]

''Some Spell links i made for you:'' You say... for example, that area of death test is martin thunder's use... so I bet you didn't make it ._. nice guide tho, I love to script rather than simple copy paste : D

[Y3go]

He was just giving some examples of cool spells, he didn't 'make' them, ofcourse.

Right ?

[nickmename1337]

nice guid, but no credit ?

[ka11]

nice, thanks

[l8flip]

Good post, you compiled it really nice.
Too bad there's no need for it since this has been posted countless times before, use the search function next time so you don't waste time.

[Barlas the Death Knight]

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:24611\124h[Soo Dop'a'Whop!]\124h\124r");

FTW

[jonchijonchi]

All credit goes to me, spent 3 hours time making this guide.

[jonchijonchi]

Atleast you can use this topic to post some funny scripts imo.

[freakyflow]
