Subject: Request: Official Communcation Channel
   Presently, there are several mods that create a chat-channel for sharing information. Unfortunately, this pollutes the chat channel space and bangs into the channel limit. What I'm requesting is Blizzard's official communication channel for module authors.

In the most simplest of implementations, I imagine an author's use would be:

1. Register an eventID with the mod communcation channel (e.g., this:RegisterForCommEvent ("MY_MOD_EVENT")).

2. Messages are received in the event handler in one of two ways: event=MY_MOD_EVENT, arg1=msg; or event=COMMUNICATION_EVENT, arg1=MY_MOD_EVENT, arg2=msg.

3. Messages are sent with the mod eventID (e.g., SendCommMessage ("MY_MOD_EVENT", msg)).

Q u o t e:
I would be inclined to agree, especially because addon developers aren't necessarily experienced network communications developers.


Yep. :)
