-- -- ChatThrottleLib by Mikk -- -- Manages AddOn chat output to keep player from getting kicked off. -- -- ChatThrottleLib.SendChatMessage/.SendAddonMessage functions that accept -- a Priority ("BULK", "NORMAL", "ALERT") as well as prefix for SendChatMessage. -- -- Priorities get an equal share of available bandwidth when fully loaded. -- Communication channels are separated on extension+chattype+destination and -- get round-robinned. (Destination only matters for whispers and channels, -- obviously) -- -- Will install hooks for SendChatMessage and SendAdd[Oo]nMessage to measure -- bandwidth bypassing the library and use less bandwidth itself. -- -- -- Fully embeddable library. Just copy this file into your addon directory, -- add it to the .toc, and it's done. -- -- Can run as a standalone addon also, but, really, just embed it! :-) -- local CTL_VERSION = 20 if _G.ChatThrottleLib and _G.ChatThrottleLib.version >= CTL_VERSION then -- There's already a newer (or same) version loaded.
