ChatThrottleLib Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 22

by: mikk [More]

ChatThrottleLib is a small, embeddable library that helps AddOn authors keep outbound chat and addon communication from exceeding the output rate limit in WoW that otherwise causes players to disconnect from the server.

It also has a number of features that will help you make your addon communication run smoother!

See http://www.wowpedia.org/ChatThrottleLib for tech specs, API, SVN location, change log and more!

Code:

    -- do stuff!
  end
end)

Previously, I was using an OnUpdate handler to send bulk messages every 0.25 seconds, but that seemed a bit slow and also potentially unsafe. The only problem I'm running into with this addon is that I can't figure out how to get my status bar to work with it. Basically, I'm sending a large block of text, split up into several SendAddonMessage lines, and showing a status bar that tracks the progress of the sending. Previously, I was just updating the status bar every time I called the SendAddonMessage function, but with ChatThrottleLib, the sends are delayed. I figured I should be hooking something, but I'm having trouble figuring out which function to hook. I tried SendAddonMessage and _G.ChatThrottleLib.Hook_SendAddonMessage, but neither of those seem to work. Last edited by hypehuman : 02-16-09 at 09:05 AM.

The readme says: * Copy the entire ChatThrottleLib folder to your addon * Add "ChatThrottleLib/ChatThrottleLib.xml" to your .toc file but you need to use a "\" instead of a "/" like this: ChatThrottleLib\ChatThrottleLib.xml That caused me all kinds of trouble!
